"Man is more than ninety-nine percent automated, and he is only a very small fraction conscious. Whereas he tends to suggest that he is really highly responsible for what goes on... he is very successful despite his ignorance and vanity."

"We should do away with the absolutely specious notion that everybody has to earn a living. It is a fact today that one in ten thousand of us can make a technological breakthrough capable of supporting all the rest. The youth of today are absolutely right in recognizing this nonsense of earning a living. We keep inventing jobs because of this false idea that everybody has to be employed at some kind of drudgery because, according to Malthusian Darwinian theory he must justify his right to exist. So we have inspectors of inspectors and people making instruments for inspectors to inspect inspectors. The true business of people should be to go back to school and think about whatever it was they were thinking about before somebody came along and told them they had to earn a living." 


                                                                                                                --R. Buckminster Fuller

“He refers to the Imagination as an organ of perception. Without it, all the phenomena of religious experience are impossible. It is the means by which we perceive symbols. The Active Imagination guides, anticipates, molds sensory perception; that is why it transmutes sensory data into symbols. The Burning Bush is only a brushwood fire if it is merely perceived by the sensory organs. In order that Moses may perceive the Burning Bush and hear the Voice calling him “from the right side of the valley”—in short, in order that there may be a theophany—an organ of trans-sensory perception is needed.22”
― Tom Cheetham, All the World an Icon: Henry Corbin and the Angelic Function of Beings


"According to Henry Corbin, the human soul is individuated not through the union with a physical body (as in Aristotle) but by becoming a perfectly polished mirror of its angel in a strictly one-to-one relationship. We realize our virtual angelicity through a progressive illumination attained on earth; we are called, by right of our origin and if we consent, to an angelomorphosis (Robert Avens, The Subtle Realm: Corbin, Sufism, Swedenborg)

Deus caritas est. God is love.

You were not made for comfort, you were made for greatness.

A man with one watch knows what time it is, but a man with two watches is never quite sure.

A wise man sees more from the bottom of a well than a fool on top of a mountain.

Silence is the door-keeper of the interior life.

God became man so that men might become like God.


--------------------
Though your heart lays restless, Love itself will still your soul.

"A new scientific truth does not triumph by convincing its opponents and making them see the light, but rather because its opponents eventually die and a new generation grows up that is familiar with it. . . . An important scientific innovation rarely makes its way by gradually winning over and converting its opponents: it rarely happens that Saul becomes Paul. What does happen is that its opponents gradually die out, and that the growing generation is familiarized with the ideas from the beginning: another instance of the fact that the future lies with the youth."

-Max Planck

There's a common paraphrase of this: "Science progresses one funeral at a time"

I'd kind of like to think psychedelics offer some chance of letting our weak, limited selves die and a better self emerge.

What's interesting about this quote is I don't think it necessarily applies to just science in my opinion.  I feel like major changes in society and the sort of "zeitgeist" as it applies to topical issues also may be spurred on by older generations dying out and newer ones coming into their own.  Granted I do think in a general sense these sort of "culture wars" have been going on for decades and some of the issues are similar, but I feel like they're at least changing a bit - slow as it may be.

Change in any capacity always seems to take time (often a lot).  To your point about psychedelics I'd agree they can be a catalyst for change in a more rapid way, but it's obviously not guaranteed and requires work outside of just tripping :smile:  They may help guide you along and show you "a" way, or at least where you're headed in the wrong direction, but it's up to the individual to follow the path in their revelation.  The trip is a ride but once the ride stops you gotta hoof it to make the real changes.

Also I'm just gonna post the most cliché adage of all time because it feels relevant here and while it's said all the time I think the meaning is even more profound than people realize: "Rome wasn't built in a day."  Revolutionary, I know :lol:  But really, as I embark on my own life changes and my desire to become a writer and buy a house and as the daily stresses start to mount or I don't believe I can do it, I think remembering that ALL great things had humble beginnings is very important on both a personal and societal level.

i was thinking the same when i read that quote.
it reminds me of how aerials used to be considered intrusive when they were seen on buildings and they caught peoples attention, but now there are aerials and dishes all over every building and they are a normal part of peoples lives, people do not even notice them.

Thank you both for chiming in. Your thoughts mirror mine in that I can't help but seeing attachment to bad ideas being pervasive across all human endeavor. Bringing up science is helpful because to me it's the least-worst, the least-fraught and the most modest method of understanding and it *STILL* falls into these pitfalls.

To me the harsh reality of pitfalls and our attachment to them is the real heart of Planck's insight. We'd love to think we didn't struggle with them, but honesty means assuming we do.

And I'm also on board with psychedelics offering only, at best, glancing blows against those pitfalls. I never want to fall into the trap of thinking that psychedelics eliminate all my errors. Instead they help me see my errors, but in most cases those are minor things that while constituting legitimate progress, are incommensurate with the fundamental flaws in my thinking. But addressing even minor things is heartening, hence my continued psychedelic usage.

thank you
i was not aware this was the original quote. i was under the impression the quote was "Those who fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it".
i always hated that quote because it convinces people to put all their trust into somebody else that they do not know and have full faith that they are being completely honest.
this true quote is actually the original and has a very different message, it has just been twisted by winston churchill and used to his own benefit.
the true quote actually advises against following the rule of the churchill version and is something i can completely agree with.

thank you for helping me correct that misinformation :heart:
