More From William James

In every relationship, sooner or later, there is a court scene. accusations, counter-accusations, a trial, a verdict.
Trials Scene Accusation
There is no contradiction between technology and spirit. there is no contradiction between the search for intellectual integration and understanding and the psychedelic experience. there is no contradiction between ultra-advanced hyperspacial cyber culture and paleolithic archaic culture. we have come to the end of our sojourn in matter. we have come to the end of our separateness.
Technology Understanding Intellectual
Nothing is demonstrable, unless the contrary implies a contradiction. nothing, that is distinctly conceivable, implies a contradiction. whatever we conceive as existent, we can also conceive as non-existent. there is no being, therefore, whose non-existence implies a contradiction. consequently there is no being, whose existence is demonstrable.

What exists in truth is the self alone. the world, the individual soul and god are appearances in it. like silver in mother-of-pearl, these three appear at the same time and disappear at the same time. the self is that where there is absolutely no 'i thought'. that is called 'stillness'. the self itself is the world; the self itself is 'i'; the self itself is god; all is siva, the self.
Mother Spiritual Self

How impossible it is for strong healthy people to understand the way in which bodily malaise and suffering eats at the root of one's life! the philosophy that is true - the religion that is strength to the healthy - is constantly emptiness to one when the head is distracted and every sensation is oppressive.

The wind of god's grace is incessantly blowing. lazy sailors on the sea of life do not take advantage of it. but the active and strong always keep the sails of their minds unfurled to catch the favorable winds and thus reach their destination very soon.
