More From T. S. Eliot

The western approach to reality is mostly through theory, and theory begins by denying reality - to talk about reality, to go around reality, to catch anything that attracts our sense-intellect and abstract it away from reality itself. thus philosophy begins by saying that the outside world is not a basic fact, that its existence can be doubted and that every proposition in which the reality of the outside world is affirmed is not an evident proposition but one that needs to be divided, dissected and analyzed. it is to stand consciously aside and try to square a circle.
Philosophy Reality Squares
The gods have fled, i know. my sense is the gods have always been essentially absent. i do not believe human beings have played games or sports from the beginning merely to summon or to please or to appease the gods. if anthropologists and historians believe that, it is because they believe whatever they have been able to recover about what humankind told the gods humankind was doing. i believe we have played games, and watched games, to imitate the gods, to become godlike in our worship of eachother and, through those moments of transmutation, to know for an instant what the gods know.

No matter how exotic human civilization becomes, no matter the developments of life and society nor the complexity of the machine/human interface, there always come interludes of lonely power when the course of humankind, the very future of humankind, depends upon the relatively simple actions of single individual.
Lonely Simple Civilization
The profound unity of subjective existence and objective environment leads naturally to the idea that the life-force of one human being can affect other living beings and even the fundamental being of humankind as a whole. furthermore, the minds of humankind fuse into one and exert a continuous influence, both physical and spiritual, on other living beings and on the whole of nature.

By helping yourself, you are helping humankind. by helping humankind, you are helping yourself. that's the law of all spiritual progress.

Similar Quotes
The driving force of a nation lies in its spiritual purpose, made effective by free, tolerant but unremitting national will.
Spiritual Lying Purpose
People should not worry as much about what they do but rather about what they are. if they and their ways are good, then their deeds are radiant. if you are righteous, then what you do will also be righteous. we should not think that holiness is based on what we do but rather on what we are, for it is not our works which sanctify us but we who sanctify our works.

Start a huge, foolish project, like noah…it makes absolutely no difference what people think of you.

It’s one of my loose theories that catholicism and art have gone well together because both believe in the physical manifestation of the spiritual world.
