Quote:

6. The Principle of Cause and Effect

"Every Cause has its Effect; every Effect has its Cause; everything happens according to Law; Chance is but a name for Law not recognized; there are many planes of causation, but nothing escapes the Law."—The Kybalion.
This Principle embodies the fact that there is a Cause for every Effect; an Effect from every Cause. It explains that: "Everything Happens according to Law"; that
nothing ever "merely happens"; that there is no such thing as Chance; that while there are various planes of Cause and Effect, the higher dominating the lower planes, still nothing ever entirely escapes the Law. The Hermetists understand the art and methods of rising above the ordinary plane of Cause and Effect, to a certain degree, and by mentally rising to a higher plane they
become Causers instead of Effects. The masses of people are carried along, obedient to environment; the wills and desires of others stronger than themselves; heredity; suggestion; and other outward causes moving them about like pawns on the Chessboard of Life. But the Masters, rising to the plane above, dominate their moods, characters, qualities, and powers, as well as the environment surrounding them, and become Movers
instead of pawns. They help to PLAY THE GAME OF LIFE, instead of being played and moved about by other wills and environment. They USE the Principle instead of being its tools. The Masters obey the Causation of the higher planes, but they help to RULE on their own plane. In this statement there is condensed a wealth of Hermetic knowledge—let him read who can.





The Kybalion

"Listen, Morty, I hate to break it to you but what people call ‘love’ is just a chemical reaction that compels animals to breed. It hits hard, Morty, then it slowly fades, leaving you stranded in a failing marriage. I did it. Your parents are gonna do it. Break the cycle, Morty. Rise above. Focus on science."

May you be filled with loving kindness.
May you be well.
May you be peaceful and at ease.

What is this quote from?


--------------------
Let it be seen that you are nothing. And in knowing that you are nothing... there is nothing to lose, there is nothing to gain. What can happen to you? Something can happen to the body, but it will either heal or it won't. What's the big deal? Let life knock you to bits. Let life take you apart. Let life destroy you. It will only destroy what you are not.

Might not be the most original, but it makes sense in so many ways:

"Turn on, tune in, drop out" - Timothy Leary (1966)


--------------------
In Hebrew, the words "wine" and "secret" hold the same numerologic value. When wine comes in, secrets spill out. Do you think the person who said that knew mushrooms? When mushrooms come in... Is there anything beyond a secret?

Here's a Tim Leary quote:

"Evolution is not the survival of the fittest; it is the Increase in Intelligence.  Matter is the freezing, i.e., the storing of bits of information.  Energy is the movement of quanta of information.  We have, accordingly, defined the universe as an enormous, totally-efficient information-processing network.  A brain."

"Before our white brothers came to civilize us we had no jails. Therefore we had no criminals. You can't have criminals without a jail. We had no locks or keys, and so we had no thieves. If a man was so poor that he had no horse, tipi or blanket, someone gave him these things. We were too uncivilized to set much value on personal belongings. We wanted to have things only in order to give them away. We had no money, and therefore a man's worth couldn't be measured by it. We had no written law, no attorneys or politicians, therefore we couldn't cheat. We really were in a bad way before the white men came, and I don't know how we managed to get along without the basic things which, we are told, are absolutely necessary to make a civilized society."

"There is only one way to achieve happiness on this terrestrial ball, and that is to have either a clear conscience or none at all." 


"The truth I do not stretch or shove
When I state that the dog is full of love.
I've also found, by actual test, 
A wet dog is the lovingest."


"He drinks because she scolds, he thinks;
She thinks she scolds because he drinks;
And nether will admit what's true,
That he's a sot and she's a shrew."


--Ogden Nash

Then why did they have so many grotesque punishments, skinning people, burning them alive, making them run the gauntlet, once they got them, dragging them behind horses?

Apologies if this is out of line, but I feel like the comedian Bill Burr here touches both on inflationary sensitivities of dialogue, and the kind tempered, self responsibility which perhaps philosopher can appreciate.

Because they are human.  I feel that, despite your point -- which is not inaccurate for most tribes -- the spirit of the quote is accurate.  How could one possibly argue that we didn't fuck them over?
