“Man must learn to believe in that which he does not, at the moment, see in order to grant himself that which he desires to have. Man's prayers are always answered, for he always receives that which he believes. The law that governs prayer is impersonal. Belief is the condition necessary to realize the desire. No amount of pleas or ritual will bring about the fulfillment of your desires other than the belief that you are or have that which you want.” MenWantBelieveDoeMomentsLawDesireOrderBeliefRealizingPrayerConditionsAmountFulfillmentGrantsRitual Author:Neville Goddard

But my whole economy of writing is in fact based on an obsessional ritual to avoid the actual act of writing.” NeedsWritingIdeasEndsWholeMomentsFactsWantedHateEconomySucceedProjectsI HateAbsolutesNightmareRitualNew Projects Author:Slavoj Žižek
“It's not easy to live every moment wholly aware of death. It's like trying to stare the sun in the face: you can stand only so much of it.
