“It's easy to tell the evolutionary level of a group of beings, or an individual being, simply by examining their behavior, their art, their psychology, their thought forms, their lingual structures, their history, their present moment, their future ideas, and the quality of their emotions.” ArtIdeasMomentsFormHumanityIndividualEasyLevelsEmotionQualityPsychologyGroupsBuddhismBehaviorStructurePresent MomentExamining Author:Frederick Lenz
“Acceptance is approval, a word with a bad name in some psychologies. Yet it is perfectly normal to seek approval in childhood and throughout life. We require approval from those we respect. The kinship it creates lifts us to their level, a process referred to in self-psychology as transmuting internalization. Approval is a necessary component of self-esteem. It becomes a problem only when we give up our true self to find it. Then approval-seeking works against us.” GivingSelfProblemNamesProcessLevelsPsychologyChildhoodSelf EsteemAcceptanceGiving UpNormalSeekingEsteemLiftsApprovalTrue SelfComponentsKinshipPerfectly Normal Author:David Richo
“A religious phenomenon will only be recognized as such if it is grasped at its own level, that is to say, if it is studied as something religious. To try to grasp the essence of such phenomenon by means of physiology, psychology, sociology, economics, linguistics, art or any other study is false; it misses the one unique and irreducible element in it - the element of the sacred.” IfsTryingMeanArtReligiousLevelsStudyPsychologyMissingElementsUniqueEconomicsEssenceSacredPhenomenonSociologyLinguisticsPhysiology Author:Mircea Eliade

“Some people have set up sort of "gotcha" algorithms that apparently crawl through psychology articles and look for fraudulent p-values [a measure of the likelihood that experimental results weren't a fluke].

“Indisputably we live in a shaped reality, an artificialism. Most people who grasp this are thinking only at a consumer-level, of the "things" they like and need and feel impelled to acquire. But our societal and political arrangements are just as much manipulations of game-pieces and rules as is any Atari or Sega product.
