The Teachings of the Adepts, part III

“They are not to be confounded with speculative philosophy, that reasons from the known to that which it cannot know, trying by the flickering light of logic to grope its way into the darkness, and to feel the objects which it cannot see. These doctrines were taught by the children of light who possessed the power to see. Such men were the great religious reformers of all ages, from Confucius and Zoroaster down to Jacob Boehme and Eckartshausen, and their teachings have been verified by every one whose purity of mind and whose power of intellect have enabled him to see and to understand the things of the spirit.

Some of their doctrines refer to morals and ethics, others are of a purely scientific character; but both aspects of their teachings are intimately connected together, because beauty cannot be separated from truth. They both form the two pages of a leaf in the book of universal Nature, whose understanding confers upon the reader not merely opinions but knowledge, and renders him not only learned but illuminated with wisdom.

Among those who have taught the moral aspect of the secret doctrine there are none greater than Buddha, Plato, and Jesus of Nazareth; of those who have taught its scientific aspect there have been none more profound than Hermes Trismegistus, Pythagoras, and Paracelsus. They obtained their knowledge not merely from following the prescribed methods of learning, or by accepting the opinions of the ‘recognised authorities’ of their times, but they studied Nature by her own light, and they became lights themselves, whose rays illuminate the world of mind.”

— Franz Hartmann, The Life of Paracelsus

How Canucks’ Quinn Hughes is becoming a leader: ‘I’m gonna be here a long time’ - By Harman Dayal (”The Athletic”)

Quinn Hughes was upset and pissed off after his sophomore 2021 season.

Hughes had scored 53 points in 68 games, yes, but he was also lit up for goals against at one of the highest rates in the NHL. He hated looking at his plus-minus and was determined to change.

“I was really disappointed with it,” Hughes said about that sophomore season. “I just knew that I’d never be a good defenceman if I was just known as an offensive guy that gave up a lot defensively. “You hear about ‘He doesn’t know how to play defence, he can’t play defence’ so that always bothered me and (I) wanted to prove people wrong.

“(My whole life) if you just looked at me, guys, without even watching my game, would be like: ‘He’s undersized and he can’t play D.’ That was all the questions at the (draft) combine: ‘How are you going to defend in the NHL?’ That’s just always been on my mind.”

Hughes spent the summer refining his backward skating. He learned how to use his speed to play better defensive angles. He practiced implementing different defensive techniques while defending his brother Jack, Trevor Zegras, Kyle Connor, and others during on-ice summer sessions. Quinn also followed the guidance of his father Jim, who had 10 years of experience as the Leafs’ director of player development.

All of it paid off in Hughes’ third season where he bounced back decisively and played a complete two-way game, earning penalty-killing minutes and being trusted in the highest-pressure situations when defending a lead under Bruce Boudreau.

“I wanted to be sharper defensively and I was,” said Hughes. “I was plus-12 last year and it also helps that our team was better (compared to 2021), Demmer (Thatcher Demko) was unreal. I think my game’s gotten better and so this year I don’t think I have to worry about it as much. Obviously, I’m still working on that, you see all these broken plays and guys miss a poke check or whatever and that’s how goals are scored, but I can kinda (just) play because I feel like I’m at that point where I’ve fixed that part of my game a bit.”

With his defensive game stabilized, Hughes set his sights on a new mission for this season: Becoming a leader.

Agent Pat Brisson, who counts Hughes among his long list of star NHL clients, won’t ever forget the first time he encountered Quinn.

“I met Quinn at the famous Brick U10 tournament while he was watching his brother Jack play for Team Toronto against my son on Team California. My other son Jordan and Luke Hughes were the same age and (watching the tournament).

“Quinn came in and he knew that us parents were busy focusing on watching the games. I wouldn’t call it babysitting but he took care of Luke and Jordan while they were climbing trees everywhere around the rink. He was a really nice, mature kid at 11 years old. I saw an admirable trait of respect in a young man who understood the environment pretty quick. Quinn understood the responsibility and those are the little signs of a future leader — it’s silly but I think it was a very telling observation.”

“Idiots,” Hughes said with a laugh when recalling that experience with his brother Luke and Brisson’s son, Jordan. “I remember all of it,” he said with a wide smile.

During the Canucks’ first road trip last season, Hughes played the big brother role again by taking rookie Vasily Podkolzin and Nils Höglander (who’d never been on a normal NHL road trip at that point because of the pandemic) out to the movies in Seattle. Hughes developed a relationship with those two and Podkolzin joked earlier in the year that Quinn was worried why they weren’t hanging out as much now that there were other Russians on the team for Podkolzin to spend time with.

Heading into this season, the Canucks told Hughes that they wanted him to expand his leadership role. He told them he was ready. Why did he feel that confidence?

“I’ve been here a while, I’m the longest-tenured D on the team,” said Hughes. “I’ve done a lot since I’ve been here. It’s my fourth year, I feel more mature. I’m talking mature in the sense that you’re getting good food, eating well and you’re competitive, not too high or low, things like that and I think that’s helped me. Off the ice, I have my moments too where I’m not mature at all by any means.

“I’m gonna be here a long time so might as well start. I think I’ve always been a good leader… I don’t need to change who I am but if it’s also taking more of a vocal role on the team now — I can also do that.

“I want to win and I want this team to do well so whatever I can do to help progress that and make that happen quicker — if that’s me pushing the pace a bit more and get this team going that’s what I’m going to try and do. But it’s not just me, it’s all the guys. I know Petey’s (Elias Pettersson) trying to take a step and everyone’s trying to be a better leader and we’re going to need that.”

Brisson, who represents some of the best captains and leaders in the sport, could sense that Hughes was ready for that leadership step too.

“The one trait all of the best leaders from Sidney (Crosby) to (Jonathan) Toews to (Anze) Kopitar have in common is they know how to listen well and absorb and ask questions,” said Brisson. “I see these traits in players, the curiosity in the team approach, observing other leaders. That’s what Quinn is strong at, he observes everything.”

Hughes’ effort to become a more prominent leader has caught the attention of Canucks captain Bo Horvat.

“They’re the future of this club,” Horvat said of Hughes and Pettersson. “And they have done it this year where leading by example, working out in the gym, saying things at different times and obviously their play speaks for itself. We need those type of guys to step up because we did lose those veteran presences (like Alex Edler, Chris Tanev, Jacob Markstrom and Brandon Sutter) recently.

“I’ve noticed a big difference (in Quinn). Just him being able to speak his mind and tell different guys — veteran guys — what he sees because he is a smart player and other guys want to get better too. For him to mature that way is big for his game and for us as a team.”

It’s vital that Hughes is taking this step because the top players on any given team have unique weight and authority in the locker room.

“You look at any winning team, the top guys have to be your leaders on and off the ice,” said Luke Schenn. “Those guys set the tone — I played in L.A. You got (Anze) Kopitar, Drew Doughty Dustin Brown, Jeff Carter, Jonathan Quick — those guys were the leaders of the team. You go to Tampa, it was (Ryan) McDonagh, (Victor) Hedman, (Steven) Stamkos.”

Hughes is naturally a reserved, laidback personality but he’s become more comfortable speaking up.

“There’s gonna be moments where the room wants to hear somebody different,” said J.T. Miller. “And we need him to take that step and be able to talk because guys are listening to him.”

What has that looked like in practical terms?

“The other day we were talking in the intermission,” said Luke Schenn. “We were talking about certain D-zone face-off plays where I’ve got an opinion and he came and (said) ‘Well, I think we could probably do this off the d-zone face-off and I think if we’re able to execute this pass, I can get in a hole and jump up in the play’ and I’m like ‘Well, yeah if you think you can do that let’s work that.’

“It’s situations like that where it’s not necessarily in front of 20 guys but a smaller group where he’s not just nodding his head (acting like he’s) agreeing when he thinks something else, he’s speaking up.

“In the o-zone too, last game I shot a puck to the net and nothing came out of it and he said ‘Hey, give it to me over, I’m open if you have a look there,’ whereas in the past he probably would have said nothing to me because I’m an older guy but I want that feedback and that’s what a partnership is.”

Hughes is comfortable being vocal from time to time but he stressed that he isn’t radically changing who he is. He emphasized that a big part of the role has been learning how to lead by example.

As captain, Horvat’s studied what works and what doesn’t as a leader and he’s had conversations with lots of players. Talking a big game doesn’t matter nearly as much as how hard you push yourself.

“There’s a time and a place to say a lot of things,” said Horvat. “(But) if you say ‘rah rah’ all the time, then guys I think find it a little exhausting. For me, I learn the most from just watching guys and how they act on a daily basis, from personal experience and just talking to a lot of guys, they like to watch how certain guys prepare and act around the rink.”

Leading by example is cliche but it’s way easier said than done. It means being on every day, never succumbing to the rigors of an intense 82-game schedule with the taxing travel demands of playing on the west coast. There are times over a season when a team might land at 1 a.m., get in bed by 3 a.m., and only have short sleep before an 11:30 a.m. practice. It’s easy for some players to coast through that practice because they’re exhausted from the travel demands. Leading by example is understanding that as a top player, you have a responsibility to set a standard and push your teammates to follow along.

That can be especially challenging when you’re not in the playoff picture — you have to help keep the team’s mindset healthy and morale high even amid chaos and waning playoff odds.

“A lot of it’s mental,” said Horvat. “To bring that mindset every day and always have a smile on your face no matter how it’s going is the biggest thing — not showing your teammates that it sucks coming to the rink. Every day you should be excited to come to the rink and working your bag off.

Hughes is definitely earning that kind of respect.

“He’s not really a young guy anymore to us,” said Miller. “The amount he wants to win is impressive and he really, really cares. Just the way he plays on a nightly basis, very rarely does he not perform. And it doesn’t mean getting points and all that. You’re a sponge, you pay attention to the guys that play consistent hockey, play to win and that’s him.”

Hughes has played well this season but he hasn’t quite been at his apex form. He looked banged up early in October when he had some struggles and with the chaotic environment around him, there are details in his game to sharpen. But what’s going to separate him over the long run is his insatiable thirst to level up.

“He says: ‘I can do better, I can do better,'” said Boudreau. “For him, there’s no ceiling in that he is driven to be as good as he can be.

“It’s a built-in desire, the way-you’re-made type thing. Some guys are just happy to be here. Some guys want to be better than everybody in the league. Usually, when you look at the stars, that’s who you’ve got.”

The Supreme part of Man

“The Supreme part of Man, the Soul, is free from evil; ageless, deathless, sorrowless, hungerless, thirstless, desireless. It is the same as the Supreme Soul of each Cosmos, which again is the same as the Supreme Soul of each Universe. The mind of Man should seek and find its own Soul; it should desire Union with it, and full understanding of it. Once that is achieved by a man the Heavens ring with JOY, for one of its children will have returned to his original Home after much travail, bitterness of heart, cruel agonies, and an endless subconscious longing for that divine Re-Union with the Inhabitants of the Regions of the Blest.”
