“[The Theosophical Society] are ideologues in terms of the way they present the material. That's one of the reasons why, when they teach their courses, you only get a smidgen of stuff and you have to keep coming back every week. They won't do an overview. Because they're trying to bypass your conscious critical faculties by leaking the information slowly.” WayTryingReasonCoursesStuffTermTeachWeekInformationMaterialsConsciousCriticalReason WhyFacultyComing BackBypassIdeologuesOverview Author:Paul Laffoley
“Speed is the form of ecstasy the technical revolution has bestowed on man. As opposed to a motorcyclist, the runner is always present in his body, forever required to think about his blisters, his exhaustion; when he runs he feels his weight, his age, more conscious than ever of himself and of his time of life. This all changes when man delegates the faculty of speed to a machine: from then on, his own body is outside the process, and he gives over to a speed that is noncorporeal, nonmaterial, pure speed, speed itself, ecstasy speed.” ThinkingMenGivingFeelsBodyRunningAgeFormProcessForeverRevolutionPureConsciousMachinesWeightSpeedFacultyEcstasyRunnersExhaustionDelegatesBlisters Author:Milan Kundera
“Teach him to live rather than to avoid death: life is not breath, but action, the use of our senses, our mind, our faculties, every part of ourselves which makes us conscious of our being. Life consists less in length of days than in the keen sense of living. A man maybe buried at a hundred and may never have lived at all. He would have fared better had he died young.” MenMindMayUseActionYoungLife IsTeachConsciousHundredDiedBreathsSensesLengthFacultyBuriedLife Death Author:Jean-Jacques Rousseau
