Spiritual Greatness Men

More From Alphonse De Lamartine

If greatness of purpose, smallness of means, and astonishing results are the three criteria of a human genius, who could dare compare any great man in history with muhammad? the most famous men created arms, laws, and empires only. they founded, if anything at all, no more than material powers which often crumbled away before their eyes. this man moved not only armies, legislations, empires, peoples, dynasties, but millions of men in one-third of the then inhabited world; and more than that, he moved the altars, the gods, the religions, the ideas, the beliefs and the souls.

Only the mediocre are always at their best. if your standards are low, it is easy to meet those standards every single day, every single year. but if your standard is to be the best, there will be days when you fall short of that goal. it is okay to not win every game. the only problem would be if you allow a loss or a failure to change your standards. keep your standards intact, keep the bar set high, and continue to try your very best every day to meet those standards. if you do that, you can always be proud of the work that you do.

American empire- it is an empire that lacks the drive to export its capital, its people and its culture to those backward regions which need them most urgently and which, if they are neglected, will breed the greatest threats to its security. it is an empire, in short, that dare not speak its name. it is an empire in denial.

I really believe that an awakening, a greater perspective on our lives and existence is happening. it's really the firing of archetypes that are already built into our brains, we just are able to awaken to a point where we can see a greater beauty in the world, a greater connection and sense of well being. this is what the mystics speak about. the insights fire us up into a greater consciousness on the planet. so it is a greater consciousness at the same time and a greater awareness of our spiritual nature. that is what the 'aha' is.

We used to have adults who set standards, moral standards, cultural standards, legal standards. they were better than we were. they gave us something to aspire to. they were people that we described as having dignity and character. that's all gone now, particularly the upper levels of the democrat party. there isn't any of that kind of decency, dignity, character, morality.

In trading with each other cities can't be in too different stages of development, and they can't copy one another. backward cities, or younger cities, or newly forming cities in supply regions, have to develop to a great extent on one another's shoulders. this is one of the terrible things about empires. empires want them only to trade with the empire, which doesn't help them at all. it's just a way of exploiting them.

Yet high over the city our line of yellow windows must have contributed their share of human secrecy to the casual watcher in the darkening streets, and i was him too, looking up and wondering. i was within and without, simultaneously enchanted and repelled by the inexhaustible variety of life.
