Spirit Belief Belief In God

More From Fernando Pessoa

Religion becomes a matter of belief, and belief acts as a limitation on the mind; and the mind then is never free. but it is only in freedom that you can find out what is true, what is god, not through any belief; because your belief projects what you think god ought to be, what you think ought to be true. if you believe god is love, god is good, god is this or that, your very belief prevents you from understanding what is god, what is true.
Powerful Believe Thinking
What is sin? it is the glory of god not honored. the holiness of god not reverenced. the greatness of god not admired. the power of god not praised. the truth of god not sought. the wisdom of god not esteemed. the beauty of god not treasured. the goodness of god not savored. the faithfulness of god not trusted. the commandments of god not obeyed. the justice of god not respected. the wrath of god not feared. the grace of god not cherished. the presence of god not prized. the person of god not loved. that is sin.

When we have an experience -- hearing a particular sonata, making love with a particular person, watching the sun set from a particular window of a particular room -- on successive occasions, we quickly begin to adapt to it, and the experience yields less pleasure each time. psychologists call this habituation, economists call it declining marginal utility, and the rest of us call it marriage

It's no wonder we don't defend the land where we live. we don't live here. we live in television programs and movies and books and with celebrities and in heaven and by rules and laws and abstractions created by people far away and we live anywhere and everywhere except in our particular bodies on this particular land at this particular moment in these particular circumstances.

I try to write every day. i don't beat myself up about word counts, or how many hours are ticking by on the clock before i'm allowed to go and do something else. i just try to keep a hand in and work every single day, even if there are other demands or i'm on a book tour or have the flu or something, because then i keep my unconscious engaged with the book. then i'm always a little bit writing, no matter what else i'm doing.

Authors have a greater right than any copyright, though it is generally unacknowledged or disregarded. they have a right to the reader's civility. there are favorable hours for reading a book, as for writing it, and to these the author has a claim. yet many people think that when they buy a book they buy with it the right to abuse the author.
