“The buildup of negative auric vibrations initially impairs our ability to perceive psychically. They can eventually cause us to become ill.

“It is commonly said that if rational argument is so seldom the cause of conviction, philosophical apologists must largely be wasting their shot. The premise is true, but the conclusion does not follow. For though argument does not create conviction, the lack of it destroys belief. What seems to be proved may not be embraced; but what no one shows the ability to defend is quickly abandoned. Rational argument does not create belief, but it maintains a climate in which belief may flourish.” IfsMayDoeSaidShowsSeemsBeliefCausesAbilityShotsArgumentPhilosophicalClimateConvictionRationalConclusionAbandonedPremises Author:Austin Farrer
“Poverty when coupled with creativeness is usually free of frustration. This is true of the poor artisan skilled in his trade and of the poor writer, artist, and scientist in the full possession of creative powers. Nothing so bolsters our self-confidence and reconciles us with ourselves as the continuous ability to create; to see things grow and develop under our hand, day in, day out. The decline of handicrafts in modern times is perhaps one of the causes for the rise of frustration and the increased susceptibility of the individual to mass movements.” SelfHandsArtistIndividualGrowsCausesAbilityPoorPovertyCreativeModernMovementMassScientistTradePossessionSelf ConfidenceFrustrationDeclineReconcileModern TimesCreative PowerCreativenessArtisansSusceptibilityHandicrafts Book:THE TRUE BELIEVER Source: THE TRUE BELIEVER
“The ability of nonintelligent people to understand the most complicated mechanisms and to use them has always been to me a cause of astonishment: their inability to understand simple questions is even more astonishing.

“Hearing, seeing and understanding each other, humanity from one end of the earth to the other now lives simultaneously, omnipresent like a god thanks to its own creative ability. And, thanks to its victory over space and time, it would now be splendidly united for all time, if it were not confused again and again by that fatal delusion which causes humankind to keep on destroying this grandiose unity and to destroy itself with the same resources which gave it power over the elements.” IfsEndsEarthHumanityCausesUnderstandingAbilitySpaceUnitedCreativeSeeingVictoryElementsResourcesDestructionUnityHearingAll TimeThanksConfusedDelusionDestroyingHumankindAgain And AgainTime And SpaceGrandioseUnderstanding Each Other Author:Stefan Zweig
“As blacks, we need not be afraid that encouraging moral development, a conscience and guilt will prevent social action. Black children without the ability to feel a normal amount of guilt will victimize their parents, relatives and community first. They are unlikely to be involved in social action to improve the black community. Their self-centered personalities will cause them to look out for themselves without concern for others, black or white.” NeedsFeelsFirstsLooksChildrenSelfActionSocialCausesParentBlackCommunityAbilityWhiteMoralIdentityPersonalityDevelopmentAmountInvolvedNormalConscienceConcernGuiltUnlikelySelf CenteredBlack Or WhiteBlack CommunityConcern For OthersCultural IdentitySocial ActionMoral Development Author:James P.
