A few more signs of the apocalypse:

There seem to be several people here that promote the truth of Natural Law. It is a cool story that doesn't need draggins (or dragons). It is easy to be angry at all the `True Lies' that we Humans have created. It is hard to be at war, and while there may be no such thing as a `civil' war, this...

Sometimes, I wish this world we live in would stand up and remind the Humans that every law, every religion, every country with a border, all the creations of Man that are not aligned with the immutable natural laws take us farther away from the Truth. That Truth has always been and will always...

Identity is a concept of our age that should be used very carefully. All types of identities, ethnic, national, religious, sexual or whatever else, can become your prison after a while. The identity that you stand up for can enslave you and close you to the rest of the world. - Murathan Mungan

A human being is a part of the whole, called by us, "Universe," a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings as something separated from the rest -- a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to...

“Tall, aren't you?" she said. "I didn't mean to be." Her eyes rounded. She was puzzled. She was thinking. I could see, even on that short acquaintance, that thinking was always going to be a bother to her.” - Raymond Chandler

People demand freedom of speech as a compensation for the freedom of thought which they seldom use. ~Søren Kierkegaard A sect or party is an elegant incognito devised to save a man from the vexation of thinking. ~Ralph Waldo Emerson

You guys are saying the same thing. The only reason you're arguing is because you're using different words. - S. I. Hayakawa

If we are defending the rights of individuals here, I have more faith that @chansen will better be able to determine when the information is appropriate for his daughter than any group of experts. Why do people feel that this needs to be a curriculum? Perhaps it is to stand away from parenting...

If you are passionate about not giving up control of your destiny, your future, your children's futures - what should you do if you live where laws and rules are already in place that say `No, you have no choice - you elected us - do it our way - do as you are told'. It is not surprizing that...

We're in a giant car heading towards a brick wall and everyone's arguing over where they're going to sit. - David Suzuki

You cannot master the past, George, only be part of the memory of it. There are still unanswered questions, and sadly, many unquestioned answers. The past is here with you now just as today (tonight?) was with you then. I know from your posts that you spend as much time as possible in the "now"...

Well said. You can’t change the past, and you can ruin a perfectly good present, by worrying about the future. I think many people spend far too much time just thinking of things to deal with rather than just letting them go. When we quiet our mind that's true freedom. But, thought without...

Someday I'll understand more of these things. At the moment I just have to think them through. Not everything you want to know is explained properly on Wikipedia.”

“Seeking wholeness is a contradiction in terms; wholeness is an implicit possession of our being. As guardians of our wellbeing, we must rise above human constructs of being that are incompatible with our intended design. Acceptance of this redeemed thinking—as a regulating factor in life—is...
