“People who believe their unquestioned thoughts cannot see what is obvious and directly in front of their faces at all times, because they are invested in what they believe to be true. As long as they live out of an unquestioned mind, they must continue to argue with what they believe is happening rather than the reality of what is really happening.” PeopleMindBelieveLongRealityFacesFrontsHappeningsObviousArguingBeing TrueAll Time Author:Byron Katie
“And a more foolish notion can scarcely be imagined, it being obvious that the reader is only informed of what the writer wishes him to know, and is thus seduced into believing almost anything.” KnowsBelieveWishReaderNotionObviousFoolish Book:An Instance of the Fingerpost Source: An Instance of the Fingerpost
“To reach only for that which pleasantly enchants you is the least of imagination, if even imagination at all, by the obvious reality of remaining within your means. The greater of imagination is parallel to risk. It extends beyond your comfort zone or haven, or sense of beauty, or what you personally believe suits you in exploration of what may not.” IfsBelieveMayMeanRealityImaginationGreaterRiskHavensComfortObviousSuitsZoneExplorationComfort ZoneParallelsRisk ItSuits You Book:Killosophy Source: Killosophy
“The truly apocalyptic view of the world is that things do not repeat themselves. It isn't absurd, e.g., to believe that the age of science and technology is the beginning of the end for humanity; that the idea of great progress is delusion, along with the idea that the truth will ultimately be known; that there is nothing good or desirable about scientific knowledge and that mankind, in seeking it, is falling into a trap. It is by no means obvious that this is not how things are.” WorldBelieveMeanIdeasEndsAgeHumanityFallViewsKnownTechnologyProgressMankindObviousSeekingAbsurdRepeatsDelusionTrapsDesirableScience And TechnologyApocalypticScientific KnowledgeGreat Progress Author:Ludwig Wittgenstein
