“A purpose derived from a false premise - that a deity has ordained submission to his will - cannot merit respect. The pursuit of Enlightenment-era goals - solving our world's problems through rational discourse, rather than through religion and tradition - provides ample grounds for a purposive existence. It is not for nothing that the Enlightenment, when atheism truly began to take hold, was also known as the Age of Reason.” WorldReasonProblemAgePurposeGoalExistenceKnownAtheismEnlightenmentTraditionPursuitRationalErasMeritOur WorldDiscourseSubmissionDeitiesPremisesAge Of Reason Author:Jeffrey Tayler

“"Moksha" is really a satire of myself. I've always been interested in Eastern spirituality. I'm particularly interested in enlightenment and the spiritual pursuit to liberate ourselves (I'm a Buddhist at heart). During my teenage years, I imagined I'd end up going to India to become a yogi; study with the last living saints in a cave; give up all my worldly possessions; learn to levitate. And there's still part of me that can see myself "disappearing" for some years at an ashram somewhere.” GivingYearsHeartStillsEndsLastsSpiritualSpiritualityStudyGiving UpEnlightenmentIndiaSaintPossessionDisappearPursuitBuddhistSatireTeenageWorldlyCavesEasternMokshaYogiTeenage YearsWorldly Possessions Author:Alexander Weinstein
“The study of infinity is much more than a dry academic game. The intellectual pursuit of the absolute infinity is, as Georg Cantor realized, a form of the soul's quest for God.

“Ask yourself these two questions: Do I remember at every moment that I am dying, and that everyone and everything else is, and so treat all beings at all times with compassion? Has my understanding of death and impermanence become so keen and so urgent that I am devoting every second to the pursuit of enlightenment? If you can answer "yes" to both of these, then you really understand impermanence.” IfsTwoMomentsRememberDeathAsksUnderstandingAnswersCompassionDyingEnlightenmentTreatsPursuitAll TimeUrgentImpermanenceEvery Second Author:Sogyal Rinpoche
