Carl Gustav Jung | confrontation with the world of darkness

“Filling the conscious mind with ideal conceptions is a characteristic of Western theosophy, but not the confrontation with the shadow and the world of darkness. One does not become enlightened by imagining figures of light, but by making the darkness conscious. The later procedure, however, is disagreeable and therefore not popular.” Carl Gustav Jung “Das Füllen des Bewusstseins mit idealen Vorstellungen ist ein Merkmal der westlichen Theosophie, nicht aber die Konfrontation mit dem Schatten und der Welt der Finsternis. Man wird nicht erleuchtet, indem man sich Lichtgestalten vorstellt, sondern indem…

Dr. Daniel und Bernadette Skubik | A driving drum rhythm in excess

“A driving drum rhythm in excess of three to four beats per second will put the brain into a state of stress, regardless if the listener likes or dislikes the music. And when the brain is in this stressful state, it will release opioids—a group of natural hormones that function like morphine—to help return itself to normal equilibrium and sense of well-being. These natural opioids, if experienced often enough, can be addicting, creating in the listener the continual desire for that ‘high’ somewhat like the high runners experience.” Dr. Daniel…

Bertolt Brecht | And they were sawing off the branches

“And they were sawing off the branches on which they were sitting. While shouting across their experiences to one another on how to saw more efficiently. And they went crashing down into the deep. And those who watched them shook their heads and continued sawing vigorously” Bertolt Brecht “Und sie sägten an den Ästen, auf denen sie saßen, und schrien sich ihre Erfahrungen zu, wie man besser sägen könne. Und fuhren mit Krachen in die Tiefe. Und die ihnen zusahen beim Sägen, schüttelten die Köpfe und sägten kräftig weiter.” Nützliche…

John Adams | Fear is the foundation of most governments

“Fear is the foundation of most governments; but it is so sordid and brutal a passion, and renders men in whose breasts it predominates so stupid and miserable, that Americans will not be likely to approve of any political institution which is founded on it.” John Adams “Angst ist die Grundlage der meisten Regierungen; aber sie ist eine so schmutzige und brutale Leidenschaft und macht die Menschen, in deren Brust sie vorherrscht, so dumm und unglücklich, dass die Amerikaner wahrscheinlich keine politische Institution gutheißen werden, die auf ihr beruht.” Nützliche…

Hans-Hermann Hoppe | What is true, just, and beautiful

“What is true, just, and beautiful is not determined by popular vote. The masses everywhere are ignorant, short-sighted, motivated by envy, and easy to fool. Democratic politicians must appeal to these masses in order to be elected. Whoever is the best demagogue will win. Almost by necessity, then, democracy will lead to the perversion of truth, justice and beauty.” Hans-Hermann Hoppe “Was wahr, gerecht und schön ist, wird nicht durch Volksabstimmungen bestimmt. Die Massen sind überall unwissend, kurzsichtig, von Neid getrieben und leicht zu täuschen. Demokratische Politiker müssen an diese…

Wolfgang Reinhard | But it is the central ritual of the democratic theater state

“Politicians who want to stay in power have to keep the voters happy, even though the election itself is only symbolic. But it is the central ritual of the democratic theater state. After all, it is no longer about substantive decisions, but only about the confirmation or replacement of political figureheads, who are legitimized by the fact that citizens are allowed to perform this ritual. This symbolically reinforces the fiction of popular sovereignty on which modern constitutional states are founded. In this way, and not through substantive decisions, elections contribute…
