Carl Gustav Jung | confrontation with the world of darkness

in

“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…

John Adams | Fear is the foundation of most governments

in

“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

in

“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…

Carl Gustav Jung | People will do anything, no matter how absurd

in

“People will do anything, no matter how absurd, in order to avoid facing their own souls” Carl Gustav Jung (Psychology and Alchemy (952) Kontext: People will do anything, no matter how absurd, in order to avoid facing their own souls. They will practice Indian yoga and all its exercises, observe a strict regimen of diet, learn the literature of the whole world – all because they cannot get on with themselves and have not the slightest faith that anything useful could ever come out of their own souls. Thus the…

George Bernard Shaw | In the Middle Ages people believed that the earth was flat

in

“In the Middle Ages people believed that the earth was flat, for which they had at least the evidence of their senses: we believe it to be round, not because as many as one per cent of us could give the physical reasons for so quaint a belief, but because modern science has convinced us that nothing that is obvious is true, and that everything that is magical, improbable, extraordinary, gigantic, microscopic, heartless, or outrageous is scientific.” George Bernard Shaw “Im Mittelalter glaubten die Leute die Erde sein flach, wofür…

George Bernard Shaw | We are more gullible and superstitious today

in

“We are more gullible and superstitious today than we were in the Middle Ages, and an example of modern credulity is the widespread belief that the Earth is round. The average man can advance not a single reason for thinking that the Earth is round. He merely swallows this theory because there is something about it that appeals to the twentieth century mentality.” George Bernard Shaw “Heutzutage sind wir viel leichtgläubiger und abergläubischer, als wir es im Mittelalter waren und ein Beispiel für unsere Leichtgläubigkeit ist der weitverbreitete Glaube, dass…

Jordan Maxwell | Nothing in this world operates the way you think it does

in

“Nothing in this world operates the way you think it does. Banks do not loan money, governments are not empowered to protect you, the police department is not there to serve you, institutions of higher learning, colleges and educational institutes, are not there to educate you. The entire superstructure of civilization in the Western world is a combination of brilliantly put together and planned, well-planned, schemes to direct the minds of the people in such a way as to serve their masters.” Jordan Maxwell “Nichts in dieser Welt funktioniert so,…

Karl Jaspers | To be scientific, that is to know what one knows and what one does not know

in

“To be scientific, that is to know what one knows and what one does not know; unscientific is dogmatic knowledge. To be scientific is to know with reasons; to accept ready-made opinions is unscientific. Scientific is the knowledge with the consciousness of the respectively determined limits of the knowledge; unscientific is all total knowledge, as if one knew in the whole. Scientific is boundless criticism and self-criticism, the advancing questioning; unscientific is the concern that doubt could paralyze. Scientific is the methodical course, which step by step on the ground…

MOYO-Film | because it strives to break out of this cognitive cage

in

“Activating collective consciousness is probably one of the most difficult tasks to attempt because people are largely unaware of the extent to which their thinking is governed by tacit rules and predetermined as given, assumed notions that, because they appear as self-evident truth, render ideology invisible. Truly unrestricted intellectual debate feels threatening because it strives to break out of this cognitive cage. Worse, this cage is so insidious that it influences even those who are already outside the mainstream. People are rarely, if ever, persuaded by argument. Those who adopt…

Daniel Neun | One need only translate the terms “conspiracy theorists” as “heretics”

in

“One need only translate the terms “conspiracy theorists” as “heretics” to know the tradition in which these terms stand and those who use them. Ultimately, it is about the accusation of apostasy from the ruling faith, which is determined by the ruling authorities and majorities. (Faith in this respect can also be translated as ruling doctrine, ideology, etc.). Thus, contrary to the subjective view of many of its users, the terms are themselves expressions of clerical and authoritarian thought structures based on subjugation as a basic psychological pattern. It is…

Heres Tom with the Weather.” Bill Hicks „Heute realisiert ein junger Mann auf LSD, dass alle Materie lediglich langsame Schwingende verdichtete Energie ist, dass wir alle ein Bewusstsein sind, dass sich subjektiv selbst erlebt, dass es keine solche Dinge wie den Tod gibt und…

Marianne Williamson | Our Greatest Fear

in

“It is our light not our darkness that most frightens us. Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented and fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There’s nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you. We…

Salviati | there is no limit to my astonishment when I reflect that

in

“You wonder that there are so few followers of the Pythagorean opinion [that the earth moves] while I am astonished that there have been any up to this day who have embraced and followed it. Nor can I ever sufficiently admire the outstanding acumen of those who have taken hold of this opinion and accepted it as true: they have, through sheer force of intellect, done such violence to their own senses as to prefer what reason told them over that which sensible experience plainly showed them to be the…
