Bill Hicks | The problem isn’t a lack of money food water or land

in

“The problem isn’t a lack of money food water or land. The problem is that you’ve given control of these things to a group of greedy psychopaths who care more about maintaining their own power than helping mankind” Bill Hicks “Das Problem ist nicht, dass es an Geld, Nahrung, Wasser oder Land mangelt. Das Problem ist, dass ihr die Kontrolle über diese Dinge einer Gruppe von gierigen Psychopathen überlassen habt, die sich mehr um den Erhalt ihrer eigenen Macht kümmern, als der Menschheit zu helfen” Nützliche und hilfreiche Links…

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…

John Herschel | In entering upon any scientific pursuit, one of the student’s first endeavours

in

“In entering upon any scientific pursuit, one of the student’s first endeavours ought to be, to prepare his mind for the reception of truth, by dismissing, or at least loosening his hold on, all such crude and hastily adopted notions respecting the objects and relations he is about to examine as may tend to embarrass or mislead him.; and to strengthen himself, by something of an effort and a resolve, for the unprejudiced admission of any conclusion which shall appear to be supported by careful observation and logical argument, even…

Marcus Aurelius | The object in life is not to be on the side of the majority

in ,

“The object in life is not to be on the side of the majority, but to escape finding oneself in the ranks of the insane.” Marcus Aurelius (Zitat ist möglicherweise falsch zugeordnet!) „Das Ziel im Leben ist nicht auf der Seite der Mehrheit zu sein, sondern darin, sich selbst nicht in den Rängen der Wahnsinnigen wiederzufinden.“ Misattributed Quelle: The first citation appears in a translation of Leo Tolstoy’s Bethink Yourselves! The claim made that it is from Marcus Aurelius. Nothing closely resembling it appears in Meditations, nor does it appear…

Dr. Tim O’Shea | The shackles of mental control

in

“The shackles of mental control, perceptual filtering and cultural conditioning are harder to throw off today than ever before. We are the most conditioned, programmed beings the world has ever seen. Not only are our thoughts and attitudes continually being shaped and molded; our entire consciousness seems to be subtly and relentlessly erased. The doors of our perception are carefully and precisely controlled. It is an exhaustive and endless task to constantly explain to people how most things of their everyday wisdom are scientifically planted in the public consciousness via…

Albert Schweitzer | I am a free man

in

“Under no circumstances do I want to be merely a ′common′ man. I have the right to be exceptional – if I can. I want opportunities, not security. I do not want to be a citizen who is humiliated and dulled by government support. I want to encounter risk, have desires and fulfill them, suffer disaster and enjoy success. I refuse to sell my own determination for a pittance. I would prefer to face life’s difficulties rather than lead a secure existence. I prefer the exciting tension of my own…

Ayn Rand | you may know that your society is doomed

in

“Money is the barometer of a society’s virtue. When you see that trading is done, not by consent, but by compulsion- When you see that in order to produce, you need to obtain permission from men who produce nothing- when you see that money is flowing to those who deal, not in goods, but in favors- when you see that men get richer by graft and by pull than by work, and your laws don’t protect you against them, but protect them against you- when you see corruption being rewarded…

Edward Bernays | The conscious and intelligent manipulation of the organized habits and opinions

in

“The conscious and intelligent manipulation of the organized habits and opinions of the masses is an important element in democratic society. Those who manipulate this unseen mechanism of society constitute an invisible government which is the true ruling power of our country. …We are governed, our minds are molded, our tastes formed, our ideas suggested, largely by men we have never heard of. This is a logical result of the way in which our democratic society is organized. Vast numbers of human beings must cooperate in this manner if they…
