How can i call security a woman's primary fantasy if i am saying it is also her primary need? because while her primary need is the security of a home and a family circle, her primary fantasy is that someone else will earn enough to pay for them. hence the focus of 2 billion women on the latest royal wedding.

On the philosophical level, both buddhism and modern science share a deep suspicion of any notion of absolutes, whether conceptualize as a transcendent being, as an eternal, unchanging principle such as soul, or as a fundamental substratum of reality. ... in the buddhist investigation of reality, at least in principle, empirical evidence should triumph over scriptural authority, no matter how deeply venerated a scripture may be.

There's a kind of edge to what you're doing, the kind of leading edge of what you're doing. inside that edge [are elements you] are familiar with, and are probably becoming slightly bored with, as well, over a period of time. "i've pulled that one out before. oh, no, i can't i'm just fed up with that. let's do something else."and you always think "oh my god i've never done anything at all like that before." but, of course, in retrospect, and to an outsider, they'll say, "oh, yeah that's typical eno.
Thinking Bored Retrospect
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.

I believe in only one thing and that thing is human liberty. if ever a man is to achieve anything like dignity, it can happen only if superior men are given absolute freedom to think what they want to think and say what they want to say. i am against any man and any organization which seeks to limit or deny that freedom... [and] the superior man can be sure of freedom only if it is given to all men.
Freedom Believe Men
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.
