“Some of the beliefs and legends bequethed to us by Antquity are so universally and firmly established that we have become accustomed to consider them as being almost as ancient as humanity itself. Nevertheless we are tempted to inquire how far the fact that some of these beliefs and legends have so many features in common is due to chance, and wether the similarity between them may not point to the exestience of an ancient, totally unknown and unsuspected civilization of which all other traces have disappeared.” MayFactsAmericaHumanityBeliefChanceCommonMissingTerribleCivilizationAncientDuesFormerFeaturesLegendsNeverthelessSiteAccustomedTemptedSimilarityStanleyMiss America Author:Frederick Soddy
“Every single human civilization has failed over time, and my belief is that it's due to a lack of rational empathy, of understanding that if you don't have equality in your society, the conflicts you breed (whether internally or externally) will eventually cause its collapse.” IfsHumansBeliefCausesUnderstandingCivilizationConflictEmpathyDuesRationalCollapseHuman Civilization Author:Chris Kluwe
“You always give credit where credit is due - to high school coaches, college coaches - but my dad, the foundation that he built with me, is where all of this came from.

“The belief, not only of the socialist but of those so-called liberals who are diligently preparing the way for them is that by due skill an ill working humanity may be framed into well-working initiations. It is delusion. The defective natures of citizens will show themselves in bad acting of whatever social structure they are arranged into.

“I started by saying that one of the most fateful errors of our age is the belief that the problem of production has been solved. This illusion, I suggested, is mainly due to our inability to recognize that the modern industrial system, with all its intellectual sophistication, consumes the very basis on which is has been erected. To use the language of the economist, it lives on irreplaceable capital which it cheerfully treats as income.” Has BeensUseProblemAgeBeliefLanguageModernIntellectualIllusionTreatsBasesErrorsEnvironmentalProductionsDuesIncomeEconomistInabilityStewardshipSophisticationIrreplaceableSmall Is Beautiful Book:SMALL IS BEAUTIFUL Source: SMALL IS BEAUTIFUL

“Awakening is waking up from the daytime dream and realizing that who you thought you were is not limited to thought, emotion or form. Beyond the imaginary seeker, beyond concepts and beliefs, there is a field of innocence and purity. We are this deep peace and sacredness, which is absolute and beyond all intellectual understanding. I invite you to recognize this Essence of Being and to directly realize the illusion of all psychological suffering due to misidentification, misperception of separation and attachment to conditioned thought.” DreamFormSufferingBeliefUnderstandingRealizingEmotionFieldsIntellectualIllusionConceptsEssenceWake UpAbsolutesDuesAwakeningSeparationPsychologicalInnocencePurityAttachmentWakingInvitesImaginarySeekersDaytimeSacrednessMisperception Author:Katie Davis
“Christians are beginning to lose the spirit of intolerance which animated them: experience has shown the error of the expulsion of the Jews from Spain, and of the persecution of those Christians in France whose belief differed a little from that of the king. They have realized that zeal for the advancement of religion is different from a due attachment to it; and that in order to love it and fulfil its behests, it is not necessary to hate and persecute those who are opposed to it.” LittlesDifferentChristianSpiritHateOrderBeliefLosesKingsErrorsJewDuesFranceAttachmentIntolerancePersecutionSpainAdvancementZealAnimatedExpulsion Author:Baron de Montesquieu
“The darkness that we see in our world today is due to the disintegration of things out of harmony with God's laws. The basic conflict is not between nations, it is between two opposing beliefs. The first is that evil can be overcome by more evil, that the end justifies the means. This belief is very prevalent in our world today. It is the war way. It is the official position of every major nation.” WorldWayFirstsMeanTwoWarEndsTodayLawEvilBeliefNationsDarknessPositionConflictMajorsOvercomingHarmonyDuesOfficialsJustifyOur WorldWorld TodayOpposingDisintegrationEnds Justify The Means Author:Peace Pilgrim
