Light

Posted by PJ under dreams and dreamtime, ego, light, quote of the day
No Comments

Random quote of the day:

“We too often coerce [dreams] with interpretation, drag them into too harsh a light, and harness them to the ego in order to strengthen its perspective. No wonder we forget dreams—they resist recollection because they do not wish to be pressed into the ego’s service, to be literalized and, alas, demonized.

Civilization

Posted by PJ under civilization, quote of the day
No Comments

Random quote of the day:

“Every civilization carries the seeds of its own destruction, and the same cycle shows in them all. The Republic is born, flourishes, decays into plutocracy, and is captured by the shoemaker whom the mercenaries and millionaires make into a king. The people invent their oppressors, and the oppressors serve the function for which they are invented.”

World

Posted by PJ under quote of the day, the world, trust
No Comments

Random quote of the day:

“Having developed a sense of trust in oneself, slowly that expands its expression outward, and the world becomes a friendly world rather than a hostile world. You could say that you have changed the world: you have become the king or queen of the universe. On the other hand, you can’t quite say that, because the world has come towards you, to return your friendship.

Sink

Posted by PJ under evil, quote of the day
No Comments

Random quote of the day:

“You see, evil always contains the seeds of its own destruction. It is ultimately negative, and therefore encompasses its downfall even at its moments of apparent triumph. No matter how grandiose, how well-planned, how apparently foolproof of an evil plan, the inherent sinfulness will by definition rebound upon its instigators. No matter how apparently successful it may seem upon the way, at the end it will wreck itself. It will founder upon the rocks of iniquity and sink headfirst to vanish without trace into the seas of oblivion.

―Neil Gaiman, Good Omens: The Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch

Faith

Posted by PJ under faith, quote of the day, science
No Comments

Random quote of the day:

“People will treat with disdain such phenomena as are proved by the evidence of the senses, and commonly experienced—while they will defend to the death the reality of a phenomenon which they have neither seen nor experienced. Faith is as powerful a force as science…but far more dangerous.

—Diana Gabaldon, Voyager

Hoax

Posted by PJ under daimonic reality, hoax, quote of the day

Random quote of the day:

“I prefer to see hoaxing as a daimonic quality inherent in, and continuous with, anomalous events—which are neither “genuine” nor “fake” but, in a deeper sense, both.
