Quote by Ernst Jünger

“A critical attitude, like activity, is one of the fundamental characteristics of our time. Both are interdependent. If the critical attitude should dwindle, there would be more peace and less intelligence, to the benefit of the essential. Neither criticism nor activity, however, can steer the course in such a direction - this means that higher forces are involved.”

“L'iniziazione comporta che si faccia il vuoto, mentre la tensione cresce. Alla fine anche un granello si sabbia provoca dolore: cade come sulla pelle tesa di un tamburo. La casa viene imbiancata. Là dove il nuovo sopraggiunge deve esserci il vuoto. Anche il sepolcro viene imbiancato. Morire fa parte dell'iniziazione. È la crisi che precede la trasformazione. Un'approfondita analisi di essa da un punto di vista spirituale e morale conduce soltanto fino all'antisala: bisogna viverla. La morte deve essere attraversata, deve aver consacrato la casa. Il ciclone che si annuncia attraverso una crescente depressione non può essere evitato, né di fatto, né su un piano morale e intellettuale - non importa se si tratti di disgrazia personale o cosmica, ovvero della fine del mondo. Solo così è possibile superare entrambe. La strada da percorrere conduce al di là del punto zero, conduce oltre la linea, oltre il muro del tempo, e attraverso di esso. Nella crisi scompaiono le dimensioni; un'altra illusione ottica. La prossimità della morte modifica spazio e tempo. Anche nella cella spoglia della Tebaide, nella capanna nordica, refugium per la meditazione, nella tenda, circondata dalla gelida tormenta che ulula nella tundra, può prendere voce la formula dell'estremo svuotamento: «Dio è morto».”

“Den Ersten Weltkrieg konnte ich noch absolvieren, ohne zu wissen, wie ein Maschinengewehr funktioniert. Zwei Mal meldete ich zu den Fliegern, einmal, weil ich mich mit dem Oberst verkracht hatte, das zweite Mal honoris causa, als der Untergang des Reiches sich abzeichnete. Gewiss hätte ich damit das Feld meiner Stärke verlassen; der Vater sah das viel besser; er sagte:” Du bist Infanterist und must dabei bleiben. Das ist eine gute Sache; zu Fuss kann man sich immer forthelfen.” Das war richtig und gilt für mich noch heute; hundert Schritt zu Fuss sind besser als tausend Kilometer im Flugzeug oder im Automobil.”

“Prototypes of inventions that use novel combinations of resonance, magnetism, states of matter, certain geometries or inward swirling motion to unlock the secrets of universal energy have already been built. They provide proof of new or rediscovered principles. In many variations of these inventions, a small input triggers a disproportionately large output of useable power." "These energy converters don't violate any laws of physics if they simply tap into a previously unrecognized source of power - background space. A flow of energy from that source can continue day and night, whether or not the sun shines or the wind blows.”

“Siempre ocurre que es el puro miedo el que provoca los horrores. Así, quien emprende la huida incita ya con ella misma la persecución; y el hombre que trama maldades se halla al acecho de su víctima cuando advierta en ésta signos de angustia caerá la última barrera. De ahí que sea importante el conservar la presencia de ánimo en los encuentros sospechosos [...] [...] En nuestra condición de humanos disponemos de sellos de soberanía que son difíciles de romper si no los estropeamos nosotros mismos; aun los animales sienten el sortilegio de tales sellos. Lo único que se precisa es saber, que somos invulnerables.”

“For decades, new-energy researchers talked about the possibility of treating a magnet so that its magnetic field would continuously shake or vibrate. On rare occasions, Sweet saw this effect, called self-oscillation, occur in electric transformers. He felt it could be coaxed into doing something useful, such as producing energy. Sweet thought that if he could find the precise way to shake or disturb a magnet's force field, the field would continue to shake by itself. It would be similar to striking a bell and having the bell keep on ringing. Sweet - who said his ideas came to him in dreams - turned for inspiration to his expertise in magnets. He knew magnets could be used to produce electricity, and wanted to see if he could get power out of a magnet by something other than the standard induction process. What Sweet wanted to do was to keep the magnet still and just shake its magnetic field. This shaking, in turn, would create an electric current. One new-energy researcher compares self-oscillation to a leaf on a tree waving in a gentle breeze. While the breeze itself isn't moving back and forth, it sets the leaf into that kind of motion. Sweet thought that if cosmic energy could be captured to serve as the breeze, then the magnetic field would serve as the leaf. Sweet would just have to supply a small amount of energy to set the magnetic field in motion, and space energy would keep it moving.”
