“Memories seem to surface in no particular order, with no time attached. Yesterday can seem as distant as last year. My life now consists of fragments where some are so blinding in their intensity that they make everything else indistinguishable. It feels as if my existence was extinguished in a flash, and afterwards my universe became incomprehensible. I want to remember everything. But perhaps I need to give it more time. Allow myself some rest. Distance myself a little, to see if I can make out a pattern. And face the truth about what is really there.” IfsWantNeedsGivingFeelsYearsLittlesI CanSeemsLastsRememberFacesOrderUniverseMemoriesExistenceParticularDistancePatternsSurfaceYesterdayMore TimeIntensityFlashLast YearFragmentsMake OutRemembers EverythingFacing The TruthDistance Myself Author:Linda Olsson
“Each person is entitled to some version of God that seems real, yet many versions contradict one another. The God of any religion is only a fragment of God. This has to be true, because a being who is unbounded has no image, no role to play, no location either inside or outside the cosmos, whereas religions offer many images--father, mother, lawgiver, judge, ruler of the universe.” PersonsRealPlaySeemsMotherUniverseFatherRolesJudgingOffersVersionsBeing TrueCosmosRulersEntitledLocationFragmentsFather Mother Author:Deepak Chopra
“His [Turgot's] first important literary and scholastic effort was a treatise On the Existence of God. Few fragments of it remain, but we are helped to understand him when we learn that he asserted, and to the end of his life maintained, his belief in an Almighty Creator and Upholder of the Universe. It did, indeed, at a later period suit the purposes of his enemies, exasperated by his tolerant spirit and his reforming plans, to proclaim him an atheist; but that sort of charge has been the commonest of missiles against troublesome thinkers in all times.” FirstsHas BeensImportantEndsSpiritPurposeUniverseBeliefEffortExistenceEnemyPlansPeriodsAtheistCreatorSuitsAll TimeThinkerAlmightyFragmentsMissilesTroublesomeExistence Of GodScholastics Author:Andrew Dickson White
“The Western world generally has lost the concept of man as a creature made to the image and likeness of God, and reduced him either to a component part of the universe, to an economic animal or to a "physiological bag filled with psychological libido." Once man became materialized and atomized in Western thinking, it was only natural for a totalitarianism to arise to gather up the fragments into a new totality and substitute the collective man for the individual man who was isolated from all social responsibilities.” ThinkingMenWorldMadeWisdomUniversePoliticsIndividualLostSocialNaturalAnimalResponsibilityEconomyEconomicCreaturesConceptsFilledWesternArisePsychologicalLiberalismBagsCollectivesSubstitutesIsolatedSocial ResponsibilityComponentsFragmentsTotalitarianismTotalityWestern WorldPhysiologicalLibido Author:Fulton J.
