Marianne Williamson Quote: Unleash Your True Power and Shine Your Light!

0 Comments/in

“It is our light not our darkness that most frightens us. Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented and fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There’s nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It’s not just in some of us; it’s in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, Our presence automatically liberates others.”

Salviati Quote: Courage of Reason Over Sense – The Truth About Earth’s Movement

0 Comments/in

“You wonder that there are so few followers of the Pythagorean opinion [that the earth moves] while I am astonished that there have been any up to this day who have embraced and followed it.

Nor can I ever sufficiently admire the outstanding acumen of those who have taken hold of this opinion and accepted it as true:

they have, through sheer force of intellect, done such violence to their own senses as to prefer what reason told them over that which sensible experience plainly showed them to be the contrary.

For the arguments against the whirling [the rotation] of the earth we have already examined are very plausible, as we have seen; and the fact that the Ptolemaics and the Aristotelians and all their disciples took them to be conclusive is indeed a strong argument of their effectiveness.

But the experiences which overtly contradict the annual movement [the movement of the earth around the sun] are indeed so much greater in their apparent force that, I repeat, there is no limit to my astonishment when I reflect that Aristarchus and Copernicus were able to make reason so conquer sense that in defiance of the latter, the former became mistress of their belief.”

Yuri Bezmenow Quote on Demoralization – The Shocking Truth You Need to Know!

0 Comments/in

“It no longer matters whether one is exposed to true information.

A person who is demoralized is unable to evaluate true information.
The facts mean nothing to him.

Even if I overwhelm him with information, with authentic evidence, with documents, with pictures.
Even if I take him by force to the Soviet Union and show him a concentration camp, he will refuse to believe it until he gets a kick in his fat ass.

When the military boot crushes his balls, then he will understand, but not before.
That is the tragic aspect of the situation of demoralization.”

Yuval Noah Harari on Truth, Power, and Society – Revealing Insights!

0 Comments/in

“Truth was never the highest priority of human society. It was the highest priority of some individuals, but never of society as a whole — because society as a whole does not function on the basis of truth. If you take two of the most powerful institutions of humankind — science and the scientific community, and religion and churches — neither of them has truth as their chief value. For individuals, yes. But as institutions, no. The chief value of science is power. The chief value of religion is order — organization. Religion is all about maintaining order in society, and science is mainly about gaining power.”
