“My being consists of matter and form, that is, of soul and body; annihilation will reach neither of them, for they were never produced out of nothing. The consequence is, that every part of me will serve to make something in the world; and this again will change into another part through an infinite succession of change. This constant method of alteration gave me my being, and my father before me, and so on to eternity backward: for I think I may speak thus, even though the world be confined within certain determinate periods.” ThinkingWorldMaySoulMatterBodyFormCertainFatherSpeakPeriodsConsequenceEternityInfiniteMethodConstantConfinedSuccessionAnnihilationAlterationsSoul And Body Book:The Meditations: Translated from the Greek Source: The Meditations: Translated from the Greek

“We need to remain alert to what happens to the body when it is mediatised. Too often, the mediatised body is an anaesthetised body. I would be the last person to argue that the body signifies at some basic level that precedes or transcends its cultural inscriptions. Nevertheless, there is an ethical imperative not to conflate the body with its representations and mediations, but to remember that there is an actual body there somewhere, experiencing the consequences of what is being done to it.” NeedsPersonsDoneBodyHappensWould BeLastsRememberLevelsConsequenceArguingEthicalNeverthelessRepresentationImperativesBeing DoneMediationInscriptions Author:Philip Auslander
“We have allowed brain thinking to develop and dominate our lives. As a consequence, we are at war within ourselves. The brain desiring things which the body does not want, and the body desiring things which the brain does not allow; the brain giving directions which the body will not follow, and the body giving impulses which the brain cannot” ThinkingWantGivingDoeWarBodyBrainOur LivesConsequenceImpulseGiving Directions Book:The Wisdom of Insecurity Source: The Wisdom of Insecurity
