Quote by Henry Joseph-Grant

“Highly conscious people illuminate paths many never thought to explore Their profound depth of understanding and insight cuts through the illusions, lies, noise of everyday life And clarity of thought and breadth of knowledge enables them to see solutions where others see none It's a distillation of wisdom honed through trials, tribulations, failures and triumphs This is what makes them formidable Not their ability to dominate a conversation, but to transform it To elevate the discourse to realms of thought previously esoteric, obscured or uncharted”

“This does not mean (as is so often thought) that primitive man, in order to explain natural phenomena, imparts human characteristics to an inanimate world. Primitive man simply does not know an inanimate world. For this very reason he does not 'personify' inanimate phenomena nor does he fill an empty world with the ghosts of the dead, as 'animism' would have us believe. The world appears to primitive man neither inanimate nor empty but redundant with life; and life has individuality, in man and beast and plant, and in every phenomenon which confronts man — the thunderclap, the sudden shadow, the eerie and unknown clearing in the wood, the stone which suddenly hurts him when he stumbles while on a hunting trip. Any phenomenon may at any time face him, not as 'It', but as 'Thou'. In this confrontation, 'Thou' reveals its individuality, its qualities, its will. 'Thou' is not contemplated with intellectual detachment; it is experienced as life confronting life, involving every faculty of man in a reciprocal relationship. Thoughts, no less than acts and feelings, are subordinated to this experience.”

“There is no ‘your truth’ or ‘my truth,’ for both assume truth as a convenience created in order to lend permission to the mood of the moment. However, mankind cannot possibly create truth for its scope and character lay unfathomable leagues beyond our own. Truth is not convenient for it would be weak beyond any ability to save us from the horror of our fabricated truths. And it is not permissive for that would cause it to be a willing partner in the destruction that our truths are crafting for us. Therefore, the truth is that real truth would rather be rejected for its commitment to us than contribute to the destruction of us.”

“A reflection of something cannot exist without the real thing to support it. Said another way, a reflection of something is dependent on what’s true and real.”
