"This battle is life, and life in the true Nietzschean sense of a cruel, pitiless, relentless battle deriving from the Will to Power.”

— Oswald Spengler
"One can, of course, induce a form of this silence by saying a short prayer-such as the Kyrie eleison-over and over again until the words become meaningless sound and yet exclude other thoughts, a method used by the Hesychast mystics of the Eastern Orthodox Church. But Western Christians, Protestants especially, think of this as the vain repetitions of the heathen, who "think they will be heard for their much speaking," not realizing that vain repetition more aptly describes their own endlessly talkative devotions."

- Alan Watts, In My Own Way, pages 182-3

"When has religion ever been one? It has always been two or three, and war has always been raged among coreligionists. How are you going to unify religion? On the Day of Resurrection it will be unified, but here in this world that is impossible because everybody has a different desire and want. Unification is not possible here. At the Resurrection, however, when all will be united, everyone will look to one thing, everyone will hear and speak one thing."

- Jalalludin Rumi, Signs of the Unseen

"Since St. John of the Cross was a man of great energy and intellectual curiosity and had been accustomed to dealing with Moriscos since his childhood in Medina del Campo (near Valladolid), it is difficult to believe that he had no contact with the Mora de Ubeda. Therefore, of all the great figures of Sufism it is al-Ghazzali who has the firmest and best documented connections with St. John of the Cross. The great Arabist Fr. Miguel Asin Palacios demonstrated convincingly the influence of the great Hispano-Muslim Sufi ibn Abbad of Ronda in Dark Night of the Soul by St. John of the Cross. There is a firm if oblique relation between al-Ghazzali and ibn Abbad. Al Ghazzali considered al-Hallaj to be among the greatest of mystics and esoterics, "among the fewest of the few", while ibn Abbad belonged to the Shadhiliyyah School or Order of Sufism, one of whose leading figures was al-Hallaj."

"There are a number of close parallels between the Shadhiliyya school of Sufism, of which ibn Abbad of Ronda was one of its greatest exponents and the Descalced Carmelite School of Christian Mystcism, of which St. John of the Cross was the founder."

"If you do not find Christ in the beggar on your church doorstep, you will not find Him in the Chalice."

"Fr. Bruno makes no distinction whatever between the fact of Mysticism and its interpretation in terms of scholastic theology. Abbot John Chapman said: "St. John of the Cross is like a sponge filled with Christianity - squeeze out all that is specifically Christian and the full mystical theory remains". I am most certainly not suggesting that St. John of the Cross was a secret Muslim. To doubt the sincerity of his Christian faith would be madness. The great Christian scholastics of the Middle Ages borrowed a great deal from Muslim philosopher, particularly Avicenna, al-Farabi, al-Ghazzali and Averroes, something which no one denies nor accuses them of having been "Crypto-Muslims" for this reason." - "Persian Traditions in Spain" by Michael McClain
