This guy said alot of interesting things

A state of war only serves as an excuse for domestic tyranny.

For a country to have a great writer is like having a second government. That is why no regime has ever loved great writers, only minor ones.

If one is forever cautious, can one remain a human being?

It is not because the truth is too difficult to see that we make mistakes... we make mistakes because the easiest and most comfortable course for us is to seek insight where it accords with our emotions - especially selfish ones.

Religion always remains higher than everyday life. In order to make the elevation towards religion easier for people, religion must be able to alter its forms in relation to the consciousness of modern man.

You can have power over people as long as you don't take everything away from them. But when you've robbed a man of everything, he's no longer in you power- he's free again.
Brevity is wit, the perfect excuse to my short posts

Yes....exactly :D :D

Now....Suppression of the ego and living from the true self will result in lack of interest in materialistic things...resulting in the second half of above. :lol:

We are controlled by the manipulation of the ego. If one is able to free themselves of that illusion then a man walks free.

Now how is that done again?

Trust in what exactly?
