"The further the spiritual evolution of mankind advances, the more certain it seems to me that the path to genuine religiosity does not lie through the fear of life, and the fear of death, and blind faith, but through striving after rational knowledge."

approach by the nature of the object with which it is pre-occupied.
But the mode of approach to the object to be known is dependent upon
the nature of the knower." -- Karl Mannheim -

“You cannot do inquiry and have the attitude, “I am going to inquire in order to accomplish this state,” even if it happens to be what actually arises when you inquire. The more you inquire from the perspective of a particular end state, the more you make the inquiry into a mental process instead of a real, living one.”

“A book is a part of life, a manifestation of life, just as much as a tree or a horse or a star. It obeys its own rhythms, its own laws, whether it be a novel, a play, or a diary. The deep, hidden rhythm of life is always there––that of the pulse, the heart beat.”
–Henry Miller
“Until it is kindled by a spirit as flamingly alive as the one which gave it birth a book is dead to us. Words divested of their magic are but dead hieroglyphs.”

Thu, March 1, 2007 - 4:00 AMAt this moment I am looking at a portait (photo) of Friedrich Nietzsche, he was a remarkable philosopher who lived ( to me at least) a very odd life.He was also an odd looking man who made himself look even stranger by the cultivation of a huge walrus style mousache.He says this answer to a query re appearance.
'We should not be frightened by appearance...then further on says "In the eyes of people who are seeing us for the first time..usually we are nothing more than a single trait which leaps to the eye snd determines the whole impression we make.Thus the gentlest and most reasonable of men can,if he wears alarge moustache..usually be seen as no more than the appurtance of alarge moustache, that is to say a military type, easily angered and occaisionally violent- aand as such, he will be treated."
Now wasn't that clever of him, in one fell swoop he is saying, look at me, i'm odd( and could be angry, which he was) but underneath I'm a real sweetheart.
