More From Shirley Jackson

There are only patterns, patterns on top of patterns, patterns that affect other patterns. patterns hidden by patterns. patterns within patterns. if you watch close, history does nothing but repeat itself. what we call chaos is just patterns we haven't recognized. what we call random is just patterns we can't decipher. what we can't understand we call nonsense. what we can't read we call gibberish. there is no free will. there are no variables.

Patterns
Mental patterns do not originate out of inorganic nature. they originate out of society, which originates out of inorganic nature. and, as anthropologists know so well, what a mind thinks is as dominated by biological patterns as social patterns are dominated by biological patterns and as biological patterns are dominated by inorganic patterns. there is no direct scientific connection between mind and matter. as the atomic scientist, niels bohr, said, "we are suspended in language." our intellectual description of nature is always culturally derived.

We fear the past, present and future. we fear the unknown, we fear not having enough, losing what we have, not having what we want. we fear what will become of us and those that we care for. we fear what others think of us and what they don't think of us. we fear, fear, fear and therefore we are controllable through the manipulation of all that we fear. the present war on terror is the war of fear. no fear, no control.
