More From Asa Gray

And people who believe in god think god has put human beings on earth because they think human beings are the best animal, but human beings are just an animal and they will evolve into another animal, and that animal will be cleverer and it will put human beings into a zoo, like we put chimpanzees and gorillas into a zoo. or human beings will all catch a disease and die out or they will make too much pollution and kill themselves, and then there will only be insects in the world and they will be the best animal.
Zoos Believe Animal
The best opinion now is, that there are multitudinous forms which are not sufficiently differentiated to be distinctively either plant or animal, while, as respects ordinary plants and animals, the difficulty of laying down a definition has become far greater than ever before.

I don't think that you can dispose of the constructive and inventive things that america is doing - and say, "oh we aren't doing anything anymore and we are living off of what the poor chinese do." it is more complicated than that. there is the example of detroit which was once a very prosperous and diverse city. and look what happened when it just specialized on automobiles. look at manchester when it specialized in those dark satanic mills, when it specialized in textiles. it was supposed to be the city of the future.

It was implicitly supposed that every living thing was distinctively plant or animal; that there were real and profound differences between the two, if only they could be seized.

I believe that the best way to create good living conditions for any animal, whether it's a captive animal living in a zoo, a farm animal or a pet, is to base animal welfare programs on the core emotion systems in the brain. my theory is that the environment animals live in should activate their positive emotions as much as possible, and not activate their negative emotions any more than necessary. if we get the animal's emotions rights, we will have fewer problem behaviors... all animals and people have the same core emotion systems in the brain.

Human beings are not like sheep; and even sheep are not undistinguishably alike. a man cannot get a coat or a pair oboots to fit him, unless they are either made to his measure, or he has a whole warehouseful to choose from: and is it easier to fit him with a life than with a coat, or are human beings more like one another in their whole physical and spiritual conformation than in the shape of their feet? if it were only that people have diversities of taste, that is reason enough for not attempting to shape them all after one model.

It is through solving problems correctly that we grow spiritually. we are never given a burden unless we have the capacity to overcome it. if a great problem is set before you, this merely indicates that you have the great inner strength to solve a great problem. there is never really anything to be discouraged about, because difficulties are opportunities for inner growth, and the greater the difficulty the greater the opportunity for growth.

The discussion which was made by luther, melancthon, and the other persons who preceded the reformation, opened the eyes or the public; and they got rid of the delusions which had been spread by the pope of rome, and emancipated mankind from the spiritual tyranny they were under, and brought about the establishment of that religion which we now enjoy in this country.

The idea of fixing of healing is an important part of any genuine spiritual approach. kabbalah is very much about this idea of fixing of things that have been damaged. from a buddhist point of view, things have been damaged because ignorance has intoxicated the mind.

The greatest day in your life and mine is when we take total responsibility for our attitudes. that's the day we truly grow up.
