“Within and around the earth, within and around the hills, within and around the mountains your authority returns to you.” - Joan Halifax, The Fruitful Darkness
"Reason is not measured in size but sense. So why not care for that side of you, where you and the gods are equals?" - Epictetus
"I believe in our culture we need certain socially accepted places where we don't answer the telephone, we don't have to answer questions or agree with anyone on anything." (John C. Lilly)
"When I grow tired or disinterested in anything, I experience a disgust." (Jack London)
“Evil often comes from those who want to impose good on others.” – Tzvetan Todorov
The face of evil is always the face of total need. [W.B.]
"It is woman and gold that binds man and robs him of his freedom. It is woman that creates the need for gold. For woman one man becomes the slave of another, and so loses his freedom. Then he cannot act as he likes." [Sri Ramakrishna]
"A woman is the mistress of the art of completely embittering the life of the person on whom she depends." -JOHANN WOLFGANG von GOETHE (German writer and scientist 1749-1832)
"Someone who can't control her emotions naturally tries to control her targets actions."
"What they need is darkness and gullibility. A little girl who had been trained as a co-conspirator in a famous ninteenth century flimflam - spirit rapping, in which ghosts answer questions by loud thumping, grew up and confessed it was an imposture." (Carl Sagan, Demon Haunted World, pg. 242)
"He abused me, he beat me, he defeated me, he robbed me,"— in those who harbour such thoughts hatred will never cease. "He abused me, he beat me, he defeated me, he robbed me," — in those who do not harbour such thoughts hatred will cease. For hatred does not cease by hatred at any time: hatred ceases by love, this is an old rule.” [The Dhammapada]
“If you really want to escape the things that harass you, what you’re needing is not to be in a different place but to be a different person.” - Seneca, Letters from a Stoic
Krishnamurti had told Deeksha: "The man [Osho] is a criminal. You have to understand this very clearly. What he is doing to people in the name of spirituality is criminal. One must never give to another human being – and he is simply a human being – your ultimate manifestation of consciousness, which is your ability to make decisions for yourself. You have made a great mistake in giving him that power for twelve years, but understand this: no man has power except the power his followers give him. That is why he needs people around him all the time, and the more the better.”
"Do not impose, on any situation, a kind of interference that is not really in accordance with the situation." [Alan Watts]
"No man has received from nature the right to give orders to others. Freedom is a gift from heaven, and every individual of the same species has the right to enjoy it as soon as he is in enjoyment of his reason." Denis Diderot (5 October 1713 – 31 July 1784)
"Distrust those in whom the desire to punish is strong."
"Duties masquerading as rights. Fred does not have the right impose a duty on Tom in order to further a perception of Fred's rights." (uk)
"The desire to hurt is very strong in us. We want to hurt people. There is a pleasure in hurting people, in telling, in saying cruel things about people, ugly things, inferior things." [Krishnamurti]
"The psychotic drowns in the same waters in which the mystic swims with delight." (Joseph Campbell, Psychology of the Future: Lessons from Modern Consciousness Research)
"Adults who call children stupid are criminals and I don't care if you say it with affection. Have some respect. Everybody else now has to deal with your crappy kid who has no common sense or respect."
"The offspring resembles the parent." (Aristotle)
"It’s not always, or even usually, the case that we do wrong because we lack respect for others. Often it’s because we lack respect for ourselves." (Christopher Freiman, The desire to fit in is the root of almost all wrongdoing)
"When your sparring partner scratches or head-butts you, you don't then make a show of it, or protest, or view him with suspicion or as plotting against you. And yet you keep an eye on him not as an enemy or with suspicion, but with a healthy avoidance. You should act this way with all things in life. We should give a pass to many things with our fellow trainees. For, as I've said, it's possible to avoid without suspicion or hate." - Marcus Aurelius, Meditations, 6.20
"If good can come of evil self-interest, then the two sides of human nature have cooperated. But when in a fit of enthusiasm we begin with the good, our deep-rooted selfishness remains in the background, unsatisfied and resentful, only waiting for an opportunity to take its revenge in the most atrocious way." (Carl Jung, Return to the Simple Life)
"No, the demons are not banished; that is a difficult task that still lies ahead. Now that the angel of history has abandoned the Germans, the demons will seek a new victim. And that won’t be difficult. Every man who loses his shadow, every nation that falls into self-righteousness, is their prey…. We should not forget that exactly the same fatal tendency to collectivization is present in the victorious nations as in the Germans, that they can just as suddenly become a victim of the demonic powers." - C.G. Jung “The Postwar Psychic Problems of the Germans” (1945)
"A weak person's duty is to try to shove his responsibilities onto you, and your duty is to refuse them." (VH)
"Fraud is the daughter of greed." (Jonathan Gash)
“For politics is not like the nursery; in politics obedience and support are the same.” (Hannah Arendt, Eichmann in Jerusalem: A Report on the Banality of Evil)
"Not to see many things, not to hear them, not let them approach one - first piece of ingenuity, first proof that one is no accident but a necessity. The customary word for this self defensive instinct is taste." (Nietzsche)
"Not seeing desirable things prevents confusion of the heart." (Tao Te Ching, Three)
"The sophisticated form of abuse is the continual undermining of the child’s courage across, perhaps, their entire life. There’s a terribly monstrous aspect to that. If you’re not respected by the child, you will absolutely take revenge on them." (Jordan Peterson)
"I am always surprised to see some people demanding the time of others and meeting a most obliging response, as if nothing there is being asked for and nothing given. They are trifling with life's most precious commodity, and being deceived because it an intangible thing, not open to inspection and therefore reckoned very cheap, in fact, almost without any value, nobody works out the value of time, men use it lavishly as if it cost nothing, they can bear the loss of what they do not know has gone." (Seneca, shortness of life, 12-13)
"For unproductive idleness nurtures malice, and because they themselves could not prosper they want everyone else to be ruined." (Seneca)
"Better keep yourself clean and bright; you are the window through which you must see the world." (George Bernard Shaw)
“There is a Greek saying, ‘It is beautiful to die in youth, but the most beautiful of all things is not to be born.’” (C.G. Jung, on the trauma of birth, of “falling out of heaven”)
"Fear follows crime and is its punishment." (S)
“Lie down: morning is cleverer than evening.”
"Victims don't ask a lot of questions, they answer a lot of questions. Victims don't look for reasons why the offer is a scam, they look for reasons why it's legitimate. Victims aren't readers and readers aren't victims. Victims don't read the paperwork. Victims want the aggressor to tell them what the paperwork says. To avoid these scams, be a reader so that you don't end up a victim." [Doug Shadel on malicious persuasion attempts / fraud]
“The final relationship that cannot be ignored is with disrupters: They are individuals who cause trouble for sport - inciting opposition to management for a variety of reasons, most of them petty. Usually these people have good performance - that's their cover - and so they are endured or appeased. A company that manages people well takes disrupters head-on. First they give them very tough evaluations, naming their bad behaviour and demanding it change. Usually it won't. Disrupters are a personality type. If that's the case, get them out of the way of people trying to do their jobs.They're poison.” (Jack Welch)
"He has erected a multitude of new offices, and sent hither swarms of officers to harass our people, and eat out their substance." - The Declaration of Independence
“The ache for home lives in all of us. The safe place where we can go as we are and not be questioned.” (Maya Angelou, All God's Children Need Traveling Shoes)
People want to blame the micro and if the thing to blame is micro then the solution is micro. Particle solutions for particle minds...
"Poison is in everything, and no thing is without poison. The dosage makes it either a poison or a remedy." ~ Paracelsus
Diogenes was asked, “What is the difference between life and death? “No difference.” “Well then, why do you remain in this life?” “Because there is no difference.”
‘Acceptance is simply seeing something the way it is and saying; "That’s the way it is." You can’t afford the luxury of negative thought.' (Rogers, McWillaims 1990)
"So pull back from empty things. When you want to know what it is your are pursuing, whether it involves a natural desire or a blind one, consider whether there is any place where your desire can come to rest. If it goes far and yet always has further to go, you may be sure it is not natural. Farewell." (Seneca, Letters to a Stoic, 16.9)
"I don’t call it suicide if a person leaves his body after having the vision of God. There is no harm in giving up one’s body that way. After attaining Knowledge some people give up their bodies. After the gold image has been cast in the clay mould, you may either preserve the mould or break it." - The Gospel of Sri Ramakrishna, The Master and Vijay Goswami
"Life is the immortality of love, in love there is neither you nor I". ( Jiddu Krishnamurti)
“You should not take old people who are already dead seriously. It does them injustice. We immortals do not like things to be taken seriously. We like joking. Seriousness, young man, is an accident of time. It consists, I don't mind telling you in confidence, in putting too high a value on time. I, too, once put too high a value on time. For that reason I wished to be a hundred years old. In eternity, however, there is no time, you see. Eternity is a mere moment, just long enough for a joke.” (Hermann Hesse)
“Even in the mud and scum of things, something always, always sings.” (Ralph Waldo Emerson)
"To live is to borrow. And if we borrow to live, then life must be a pile of trash." Chuang Tzu
"Brave new world was written in the old world, a long time before the summer of love. Yet rereading it now, I was impressed by the importance in it of soma, the wonder drug on which everybody in the World State, and the World State itself, is dependent. If you had unlimited access to a drug that would give you a perfect high for hours or days at a time, at any time, without doing you any bodily harm, and with the enthusiastic approval of your entire society, would you be likely to abstain from it? You're not allowed to. You must consume your daily dose of soma because it's what holds everything together in happy inertia. Consumption is the basis of the World Sate, the state of delusion. Huxley's science fiction was undeniably and radically visionary, leaping decades beyond the society of his day into the post millennial world of obligatory consumerism and instant gratification. The declarations of one's right to be unhappy are the high point of the novel; but a high point that can only be followed by a fall. The poor Savage will indeed find his unhappiness." [Ursula K. LeGuin, Huxley's Bad trip, pg. 129-131]
We too can become dissociated and lose our identity. We can become possessed and altered by moods, or become unreasonable and unable to recall important facts about ourselves or others, so that people ask: "What the devil has got into you?" We talk about being able to "control ourselves" but self-control is a rare and remarkable virtue. We may think we have ourselves under control; yet a friend can easily tell us things about ourselves of which we have no knowledge. [C. G. Jung, Man and His Symbols]
"We don't owe anybody a nickle, we don't borrow any money, we don't pay any interest, we prefer to pay as we go, and we wish the bankers would find useful occupations for themselves and leave the economy alone." [Scott Nearing, living the good life]
Bankers are people that help you with problems you would not have had without them.
“When it comes down to it, government is simply an abandonment of responsibility on the assumption that there are people, other than ourselves, who really know how to manage things. But the government, run ostensibly for the good of the people, becomes a self-serving corporation. To keep things under control, it proliferates law of ever-increasing complexity and unintelligibility, and hinders productive work by demanding so much accounting on paper that the record of what has been done becomes more important than what has actually been done. [...] The Taoist moral is that people who mistrust themselves and one another are doomed.” [Alan W. Watts]
"Uninvited guests are often most welcome when they leave." [Aesop]
-------------------- C.G. Jung: "Please remember, it is what you are that heals, not what you know." "I shall not commit the fashionable stupidity of regarding everything I cannot explain as a fraud." - Carl Jung Krishna, as his friends called him, freely admitted his compulsive lying.

Any answer anybody gives should put an end to your questions. But it does not." [UG-K]

“But he (Nietzsche) never would be able to realize that he is like ordinary people and he should realize that too. For instance, if he were really a sage, he would say to himself "Go out into the street, go to the little people, be one of them and see how you like it, how much you enjoy being such a small thing. That is yourself." And so he would learn that he was not his own greatness.”
― C.G. Jung, Nietzsche's Zarathustra: Notes of the Seminar Given in 1934-1939.

"I have followed up a case of a man who was practically invulnerable even to rapier thrusts through kidney and liver. His remarkable achievement lasted over several years. It was accompanied by a pious and devoted attitude. He was unselfish and idealistic. Two bad friends succeeded in persuading him that there was money in it. The next experiment killed him. In this case it was quite obvious that he owed his invulnerability to an intensely religious attitude which is an archetypal constellation." [Carl Jung]

"'I'm okay and you're okay.' Now that's obviously the healthiest relationship you can have as long as you can maintain it, of course, you can't maintain it with everybody because some people aren't okay, they are sons of bitches. However, as long as you can maintain the "I'm okay-you're okay" you're living in a happy world." (Robert Anton Wilson)

"Isolation of the individual or isolation of the group: here we have two different forms of the same tactics, each seemingly able to produce a plausible justification by pointing to the methods pursued by life for its development right down to us. We shall be seeing later wherein lies the attraction (or perversity) of these cynical and brutal theories in which, however, a noble passion may also stir. We shall also see why, faced with one or other of these calls to violence, we cannot help sometimes being deeply responsive. They involve a subtle deformation of a great truth." ~Pierre Teilhard de Chardin; The Phenomenon of Man; Pages 237-239.

“Nasty political correctness as a tactic then makes perfect sense. Having rejected reason, we will not expect ourselves or others to behave reasonably. Having put our passions to the fore, we will act and react more crudely and range-of-the-moment. Having lost our sense of ourselves as individuals, we will seek our identities in our groups. Having little in common with different groups, we will see them as competitive enemies. Having abandoned recourse to rational and neutral standards, violent competition will seem practical. And having abandoned peaceful conflict resolution, prudence will dictate that only the most ruthless will survive. ” ― Stephen R.C. Hicks, Explaining Postmodernism: Skepticism and Socialism from Rousseau to Foucault

Any attempt to determine the nature of the unconscious state runs up against the same difficulties as atomic physics: the very act of observation alters the object observed.
Consequently, there is at present no way of objectively determining the real nature of the unconscious. ~ Carl Jung, CW 14, Page 88.

“To accuse another of having weak kidneys, lungs, or heart, is not a crime; on the contrary, saying he has a weak brain is a crime. To be considered stupid and to be told so is more painful than being called gluttonous, mendacious, violent, lascivious, lazy, cowardly: every weakness, every vice, has found its defenders, its rhetoric, its ennoblement and exaltation, but stupidity hasn't." (Primo Levi)

If you present reality in a certain way, then this is going to influence what you're going to do. The FBI used to say, "we merely present information, and it's the responsibility of the person to use it." But merely presenting information in a certain format has a powerful effect.
So if we say that people are all independent and in a different form, than we are going to behave accordingly. You see, information is not just sitting there. It is very powerful, and thought in general is very powerful. It has produced everything - farmland, industry, governments, religions, schools, technology and science, it has produced everything you see. It's almost impossible to find a part of the world that has not been influenced by thought.
The whole process of thought doesn't want to acknowledge this. Thought says, "we've got to grow." and thought says, "we've got to get rid of the consequences of growth.", which means, "we've got to grow without consequences."
[David Bohm: results you don't want]

“I was never more hated than when I tried to be honest. Or when, even as just now I've tried to articulate exactly what I felt to be the truth. No one was satisfied -- not even I. On the other hand, I've never been more loved and appreciated than when I tried to "justify" and affirm someone's mistaken beliefs; or when I've tried to give my friends the incorrect, absurd answers they wished to hear. In my presence they could talk and agree with themselves, the world was nailed down, and they loved it. They received a feeling of security. But here was the rub: Too often, in order to justify them, I had to take myself by the throat and choke myself until my eyes bulged and my tongue hung out and wagged like the door of an empty house in a high wind. Oh, yes, it made them happy and it made me sick. So I became ill of affirmation, of saying "yes" against the nay-saying of my stomach -- not to mention my brain.” ― Ralph Ellison, Invisible Man

“I thought of another moral, more down to earth and concrete, and I believe that every militant chemist can confirm it: that one must distrust the almost-the-same (…) the practically identical, the approximate, the or-even, all surrogates and all patchwork. The differences can be small, but they can lead to radically different consequences, like a railroad’s switch points; the chemist’s trade consists in good part in being aware of these differences, knowing them close up, and foreseeing their effects. And not only the chemist’s trade” —Primo Levi, “Potassium,” The Periodic Table

We can even justify our brutality as progress if what we are doing somehow subdues a person, makes them more amenable to society, or brings us satisfaction. If we can turn a person into a ‘them’ by ascribing a label, then ‘we’ can feel justified to treat them as we wish.
Dr. Dan L. Edmunds MEETING OF TWO PERSONS.

"I know too many autobiographies, with their self-deceptions and downright lies, and I know too much about the impossibility of self-portrayal, to want to venture on any such attempt." (Carl Jung, on Why he would not write an autobiography)
U.G. agrees with this someone. He says, 'All autobiographies are lies. And biographies are double lies.'
