“As I have already said, the belief that one's own view of reality is the only reality is the most dangerous or all delusions. It becomes still more dangerous if it is coupled with the missionary zeal to enlighten the rest of the world, whether the rest of the world wishes to be enlightened or not. To refuse to embrace wholeheartedly a particular definition of reality, to dare to see the world differently can become a "think crime" in a truly Orwellian sense as we get steadily closer to 1984.” IfsThinkingWorldSaidStillsRealityBeliefWishViewsAtheismDangerousCrimeParticularEmbraceDefinitionsDareRefuseEnlightenedDelusionMissionaryEnlighteningZealWholeheartedlyOrwellianMissionary Zeal Book:How real is real?: Confusion, disinformation, communication Source: How real is real?: Confusion, disinformation, communication

“It is not for man to seek, or even to believe in, God. He only has to refuse his ultimate love to everything that is not God. This refusal does not presuppose any belief. It is enough to recognize what is obvious to any mind: that all the goods of this world, past, present, and future, real or imaginary, are finite and limited and radically incapable of satisfying the desire that perpetually burns within us for an infinite and perfect good.” MenWorldMindBelieveDoeRealEnoughPastDesireBeliefPerfectThis WorldUltimateInfiniteObviousRefuseGoodsBelieve In GodSatisfyingImaginaryIncapableFiniteRefusalPast PresentPast Present And FutureUltimate Love Author:Simone Weil
“Atheism ... in its philosophic aspect refuses allegiance not merely to a definite concept of God, but it refuses all servitude to the God idea, and opposes the theistic principle as such. Gods in their individual function are not half as pernicious as the principle of theism which represents the belief in a supernatural, or even omnipotent, power to rule the earth and man upon it. It is the absolutism of theism, its pernicious influence upon humanity, its paralyzing effect upon thought and action, which Atheism is fighting with all its power.” MenIdeasActionEarthHumanityFightingIndividualBeliefHalfPrinciplesAtheismInfluenceEffectsConceptsAspectFunctionRefusePositive AtheismDefiniteAllegianceServitudePerniciousTheismOmnipotentThoughts And ActionsPhilosophicAbsolutism Book:Mother Earth Bulletin Source: Mother Earth Bulletin
“Throughout history, humankind has been resistant to change and to the acceptance of new ideas... When Galileo discovered the moons of Jupiter, the astronomers of that time refused to accept or even to look at these satellites because the existence of these moons conflicted with their accepted beliefs. So it is now with psychiatrists and other therapists, who refuse to examine and evaluate the considerable evidence being gathered about survival after bodily death and about past life memories. Their eyes are tightly shut.” LooksHas BeensIdeasEyePastBeliefMemoriesHealingExistenceAcceptingAcceptanceMoonSurvivalEvidenceRefuseAcceptedHumankindNew IdeasPsychiatristEvaluateTherapistsPast LifeSatellitesAstronomersJupiter Author:Brian Weiss
