If you are going to regard my stuff as some kind of gospel or dogma, stop. Take it out and burn it. Now. Instead, gather interesting thoughts from a variety of sources and disciplines, then BE YOUR OWN GURU.”

I somehow imagine little of either pervading the Boenning/Muse studio these days?☺️ Something dredged up from the swamp?
