“Christ himself came down and took possession of me. . . I had never foreseen the possibility of that, of a real contact, person to person, here below, between a human being and God. . . in this sudden possession of me by Christ, neither my sense nor my imagination had any part: I only felt in the midst of my suffering the presence of a love.” HumansPersonsRealSufferingFeltChristImaginationHuman BeingsChristianityPossibilityDown AndPossessionContactMidstMy ImaginationChristian LoveForeseen Book:The Simone Weil Reader Source: The Simone Weil Reader
“Therapy isn't curing somebody of something; it is a means of helping a person explore himself, his life, his consciousness. My purpose as a therapist is to find out what it means to be human. Every human being must have a point at which he stands against the culture, where he says, "This is me and the world be damned!" Leaders have always been the ones to stand against the society - Socrates, Christ, Freud, all the way down the line.” WorldWayHumansMeanPersonsHelpingPurposeCultureChristLinesHuman BeingsConsciousnessLeaderTherapyTherapistsWhat It Means To Be HumanThis Is Me Author:Rollo May

“There is a fundamental difference between Jesus and Muhammad and their teachings. When the Jews brought a prostitute to Christ and asked him what to do with her because the law says stone her, Jesus said, let the one who has not committed any sin throw the first stone. This is a great teaching. To be happy as human beings, we don't need lots of laws. All we need are few good teachings and this is one of them.” NeedsFirstsHumansSaidLawJesusChristDifferencesHuman BeingsSinTeachingStonesFundamentalsCommittedJewMuhammadGreat TeachingGood Teaching Author:Ali Sina
“I use the word "god" a lot, and I'm not sure if I know what I believe god is. I don't believe that when we die, that's it. It's almost like a logical faith. I logically don't believe that all this stuff [surrounding us] is generated from dust. But I'm also not like "Jesus Christ came down to save us." It's almost selfish to think that human beings, on this plane of reality, are the end of it.” IfsThinkingKnowsBelieveHumansEndsUseRealityDiesJesusI BelieveStuffChristHuman BeingsJesus ChristDon't BelieveSelfishDustPlanesNot SureLogicalBelieve In God Author:Blake Butler
