More From Huston Smith

Power properly understood is nothing but the ability to achieve purpose... one of the great problems of history is that the concepts of love and power have usually been contrasted as opposites --- polar opposites --- so that love is identified with a resignation of power, and power with a denial of love... what is needed is a realization that power without love is reckless and abusive, and love without power is sentimental and anemic. power at its best is love implementing the demands of justice, and justice at its best is power correcting everything that stands against love.
Love Is Opposites Justice
If i lived in china or even russia, or any totalitarian country, maybe i could understand some of these illegal injunctions. ... but somewhere i read of the freedom of assembly. somewhere i read of the freedom of speech. somewhere i read of the freedom of the press. somewhere i read that the greatness of america is the right to protest for right.

I see,... and with the deepest affliction, the rapid strides with which the federal branch of our government is advancing towards the usurpation of all the rights reserved to the states, and the consolidation in itself of all powers, foreign and domestic; and that, too, by constructions which, if legitimate, leave no limits to their power... it is but too evident that the three ruling branches of [the federal government] are in combination to strip their colleagues, the state authorities, of the powers reserved by them, and to exercise themselves all functions foreign and domestic.

The physical universe that you see is all in your mind. when you turn your mind off, or become unconscious, the physical universe, for you, disappears. then, when you awaken your consciousness, the universe reappears magically. quite simple really - no thoughts on your part, no physical world. as walt whitman succinctly stated: "the whole theory of the universe is directed unerringly to one single individual - namely to you." without your mind to process it, the universe simply disappears into nothingness.
Simple Mind World
If your message to the universe is gimme, gimme, gimme, the universe's response back to that kind of mentality is exactly the same. the universe will say right back to you over and over again, gimme, gimme, gimme. if you shift that and you say to the universe, to the world, how may i serve? how may i serve? the universe's response back to you is how may i serve you? how may i serve you?

Atheism is so senseless & odious to mankind that it never had many professors. can it be by accident that all birds beasts & men have their right side & left side alike shaped (except in their bowels) & just two eyes & no more on either side the face & just two ears on either side the head & a nose with two holes & no more between the eyes & one mouth under the nose & either two fore legs or two wings or two arms on the shoulders & two legs on the hips one on either side & no more?

Through compassion it is possible to recognize that the craving for love that people feel resides also in our own hearts, that the cruelty the world knows all too well is also rooted in our own impulses. through compassion we also sense our hope for forgiveness in our friends' eyes and our hatred in their bitter mouths. when they kill, we know that we could have done it; when they give life, we know that we can do the same. for a compassionate person nothing human is alien: no joy and no sorrow, no way of living and no way of dying.
