“Blade Runner is a rare science fiction movie so full of material that pages can be written about it without scratching the surface. A review like this can provide little more than an overview. A detailed exploration of the movie, its style, and its mysteries requires dedication that only someone immersed in Blade Runner lore can provide.” LittlesFictionWrittenMysteryStyleMaterialsPagesScience FictionSurfaceExplorationReviewsDedicationRunnersBladesBlade RunnerScience Fiction MovieOverviewScratching The Surface Author:James Berardinelli
“Worship demands the far distances of God; it protests against the little, the near, the material. It must love but it must look up. It cannot live without the note of spirituality and universality, if not mystery. The ascension, the passing of Christ within the veil, answers this need. So does a full-robed Christianity add to definiteness of knowledge the outreach of imagination and home.” IfsNeedsLooksLittlesDoeHomeSpiritualityChristImaginationAnswersChristianityMysteryMaterialsDemandWorshipDistanceAddNotesPassingPassingsLook UpProtestVeilsAscensionUniversalityOutreachFar Distance Book:Thoughts for Every-day Living from the Spoken and Written Words of Maltbie Davenport Babcock Source: Thoughts for Every-day Living from the Spoken and Written Words of Maltbie Davenport Babcock
“The personality of the artist, at first a cry or a cadence or a mood and then a fluid, and lambent narrative, finally refines itself out of existence, impersonalises itself, so to speak. The aesthetic image in the dramatic form is life purified in and reprojected from the human imagination. The mystery of aesthetic like that of material creation is accomplished. The artist, like the God of the creation, remains within or behind or beyond or above his handiwork, invisible, refined out of existence, indifferent, paring his fingernails.” FirstsHumansArtGodFormArtistSpeakImaginationBehindsExistenceMysteryCryCreationMaterialsPersonalityRemainsMoodInvisibleNarrativeDramaticAccomplishedAestheticIndifferentAestheticsFluidRefinedFingernailsCadenceHuman ImaginationHandiwork Author:James Joyce

“We can study material processes and various processes at the energetic level, that is what we can do as natural scientists.

“Our science fails to recognize those special properties of life that make it fundamental to material reality. This view of the world - biocentrism - revolves around the way a subjective experience, which we call consciousness, relates to a physical process. It is a vast mystery and one that I have pursued my entire life.” WorldWayRealityProcessViewsConsciousnessFailingMysterySpecialMaterialsFundamentalsPropertyRelateSubjectivePursued Author:Robert Lanza
