“This is the message of your life and my life - it’s that nothing lasts. Heraclitus said it: Panta Rhei. All flows, nothing lasts. Not your enemies, not your fortune, not who you sleep with at night, not the books, not the house in Saint-Tropez, not even the children - nothing lasts. To the degree that you avert your gaze from this truth, you build the potential for pain into your life. Everything is this act of embracing the present moment, the felt presence of experience, and then moving on to the next felt moment of experience. It’s literally psychological nomadism is what it is.” ChildrenSaidBookMomentsPainLastsMovingNightNextHouseFeltSleepEnemyDegreesMessagesFlowFortuneSaintPsychologicalPresent MomentAvert Author:Terence McKenna
“My message is to forget about dichotomies. The Brain Opera is an opera, even if it does not tell a story in the usual way. It is a psychological journey with voices - so I do consider it an opera.” IfsWayDoeStoriesVoiceForgetBrainJourneyMessagesPsychologicalUsualOperaDichotomy Author:Tod Machover
“I think I'm built like a painter. I have friends who are painters and they reflect a similar psychological attitude towards their work. They don't know what's coming next, they just wait for the message, for orders to come and then off they go on their next project.” ThinkingKnowsOrderNextWaitingAttitudeGoes OnProjectsMessagesBuiltPsychologicalPainter Author:John McLaughlin
“Many seducers clutter the simple message of the gospel with legalistic additions, with convoluted attempts to legitimize moral compromise, and with psychological theories that turn churches into relational support groups instead of houses of worship.” TurnsHouseChurchSimpleMoralSupportGroupsTheoryWorshipMessagesPsychologicalCompromiseClutterConvolutedSupport GroupsHouses Of Worship Book:So, You Want To Be Like Christ?: Eight Essentials to Get You There Source: So, You Want To Be Like Christ?: Eight Essentials to Get You There
“The rope connecting two men on a mountain is more than nylon protection; it is an organic thing that transmits subtle messages of intent and disposition from man to man; it is an extension of the tactile senses, a psychological bond, a wire along which currents of communication flow.” MenTwoCommunicationMountainMessagesFlowCurrentsProtectionSensesPsychologicalSubtleDispositionExtensionsConnectingRopeWireTransmitTactileNylon Book:The Eiger Sanction: A Novel Source: The Eiger Sanction: A Novel
“Even the best of us have certain psychological mechanisms that can suddenly kick in and turn us into monsters. That to me is the basic message of events like the rise of Nazism, the Salem witch trials, and so on: not that bad people do bad things, but that good people do bad things. It's distressingly easy for those mechanisms to be triggered, either consciously by demagogues, or naively by people who think they're trying to do the right thing. Which is why I think it's more akin to tic-tac-toe.” PeopleThinkingTryingCertainTurnsEasyEventsMessagesMonstersTrialsPsychologicalRight ThingKicksBad ThingsWitchGood PeopleMechanismToesBad PeopleNazismTicsSalemWitch TrialsSalem Witch TrialsTic Tacs Author:Neal Stephenson
