“Could we forbear dispute, and practice love, We should agree as angels do above. Where love presides, not vice alone does find, No entrance there, hut virtues stay behind: Both faith, and hope, and all the meaner train, Of mortal virtues, at the door remain. Love only enters as a native there, For born in heav'n, it does but sojourn here.” ShouldDoeBornBehindsPracticeVirtueDoorsAngelAgreeVicesMortalsNativeDisputesEntrancesHope And FaithHuts Author:Edmund Waller
“Philosophy that satisfies its own intention, and does not childishly skip behind its own history and the real one, has its lifeblood in the resistance against the common practices of today and what they serve, against the justification of what happens to be the case.” DoeRealPhilosophyHappensTodayCommonBehindsPracticeCasesIntentionResistanceJustificationSkipReal Ones Book:Critical Models: Interventions and Catchwords Source: Critical Models: Interventions and Catchwords
“Zen is really extraordinarily simple as long as one doesn't try to be cute about it or beat around the bush! Zen is simply the sensation and the clear understanding ... that there is behind the multiplicity of events and creatures in this universe simply one energy -- and it appears as you, and everything is it. The practice of Zen is to understand that one energy so as to "feel it in your bones.” FeelsTryingLongUniverseEnergyUnderstandingSimpleBehindsPracticeClearEventsCreaturesBeatsBonesCuteSensationsMultiplicity Author:Alan Watts
“Dialectical logic undoes the abstractions of formal logic and of transcendental philosophy, but it also denies the concreteness of immediate experience. To the extent to which this experience comes to rest with the things as they appear and happen to be, it is a limited and even false experience. It attains its truth if it has freed itself from the deceptive objectivity which conceals the factors behind the facts - that is, if it understands its world as a historical universe, in which the established facts are the work of the historical practice of man.” IfsMenWorldPhilosophyFactsHappensUniverseBehindsPracticeLogicHistoricalDenyFactorsFormalAbstractionObjectivityTranscendentalDeceptive Author:Herbert Marcuse
“Joy is a part of my process. In fact, I'd go so far as to say that poetry, as a practice, necessitates a sense of joy. It's exhilarating to come into contact with the things we write into being. And a real sense of play and abandon even when we are relying on hard-won technique, and even when the aim is deadly serious. How often do we get the excuse to stop, think, and then stop thinking altogether and try to listen to what sits behind our outside of our thoughts?

“I spent a month in India and where I learnt an important word for me, for everything that had come before and after, and the was the word 'seva' - the work you do without wanting reward, simply for the work itself, for the spiritual, for the practice and the experience it gives you by doing that work. I began to realise it was something I was searching for all my life, that I was doing theatre not for myself but for something for a search, for a seeking for something that is behind that, to find a truth somewhere about us.” GivingImportantSpiritualBehindsPracticeMonthsIndiaRewardsSeekingTheatreRealisingBefore And AfterImportant Words Author:George Ogilvie
