“Attribute all to the gods.  They pick a man up, stretched on the black loam and set him on his two feet firm.  Then again, they shake solid men until they fall backward into the worst of luck, wandering hungry, wild of mind.”  

—  Archilochus of Paros ( c. 648 BC )  Greek poet of Paros, notable for using his own experience as subject matter.

— From the Introduction to Chapter 1 of the book PAN – GOD OF THE WOODS

THE MAGICIAN

“Before the formation of the physical universe there was a vast period during which universes were not solid, but wholly illusionary.  You might say that the universe was a universe of magical illusions which were made to appear and vanish at the will of the magician.  In every case, the “magician” was one or more Immortal Spiritual Beings.”

ROOT OF ALL EVIL

ROOT OF EVIL

“Since boredom advances and boredom is the root of all evil, no wonder, then, that the world goes backwards;  that evil spreads.
This can be traced back to the very beginning of the world. The gods were bored; therefore they created human beings.”

~ Soren Kierkegaard ~

Søren Aabye Kierkegaard (5 May 1813 – 11 November 1855) was a Danish philosopher, theologian, poet, social critic and religious author who is widely considered to be the first existentialist philosopher. He wrote critical texts on organized religion, Christendom, morality, ethics, psychology and the philosophy of religion, displaying a fondness for metaphor, irony and parables. Much of his philosophical work deals with the issues of how one lives as a “single individual”, giving priority to concrete human reality over abstract thinking and highlighting the importance of personal choice and commitment.
