More From James Joyce

Without collective awakening the catastrophe will come. i think people in the mass media, journalists, film makers and others, you can contribute to the collective awakening if you are awake and then your life will embody that awakening.

To see human beings in agony, to see them covered in blood and to hear their death groans, makes people humble. it makes their spirits delicate, bright, peaceful. it's never at such times that we become cruel or bloodthirsty. no, it's on a beautiful spring afternoon like this that people suddenly become cruel. it's at a moment like this, don't you think, while one's vaguely watching the sun as it peeps through the leaves of the trees above a well-mown lawn? every possible nightmare in the world, every possible nightmare in history, has come into being like this.
Beautiful Spring Humble
Chauvet cave is rather like the awakening of the modern human soul or i would say the awakening of modern human culture. because neanderthal men who still rode the landscape parallel to the people who did these paintings didn't have culture. there's no evidence of culture, no symbolic depiction, no evidence of music, no evidence of sculptures, no evidence of religious beliefs.
Religious Men People
In spiritual life there is no room for compromise. awakening is not negotiable; we cannot bargain to hold on to things that please us while relinquishing things that do not matter to us. a lukewarm yearning for awakening is not enough to sustain us through the difficulties involved in letting go. it is important to understand that anything that can be lost was never truly ours, anything that we deeply cling to only imprisons us.
Letting Go Spiritual Important
The nightmare of materialism, which has turned the life of the universe into an evil, useless game, is not yet past; it holds the awakening soul still in its grip.
Past Games Evil
History is a living horse laughing at a wooden horse. history is a wind blowing where it listeth. history is no sure thing to bet on. history is a box of tricks with a lost key. history is a labyrinth of doors with sliding panels, a book of ciphers with the code in a cave of the saragossa sea. history says, if it pleases, excuse me, i beg your pardon, it will never happen again if i can help it.

Time, of course, topples everyone in its path equally- the way that driver beats his old horse until it dies. but the thrashing we receive is one of frightful gentleness. few of us even realize that we are being beaten.
Horse Way Path
. . . the deer, the horse, the great eagle, these are our brothers. the rocky crests, the juices in the meadows, the body heat of the pony and man - all belong to the same family. . . . the white man must treat the beasts of this land as his brothers.
Brother Horse Equality
If one hasn't a horse, one is one's own horse.
