BEING ALONE

Republished by Blog Post Promoter

“If you discover that you’re all alone in space and that you’re actually enjoying your newly discovered peace, calm, quiet and serenity, there are a few thousand other things you can do to amuse yourself.  Most likely, your greatest problem will be boredom: the #1 enemy for a spirit. If you lived on Earth very long you will already know that people are obsessed with NOT being bored.  However, this may not be a natural condition for spirits.”

UNIVERSAL TRUTHS

In the history of this universe powerful spiritual truths – in the hands of priests – are perverted into religions confined inside the walls of stone temples constructed with enforced compliance to mortal men who teach empty rituals and superstitions intended to control and enslave souls.

ART FOR ART’S SAKE

“Works of art, in my opinion, are the only objects in the material universe to possess internal order, and that is why, though I don’t believe that only art matters, I do believe in Art for Art’s sake.”

—  E. M. Forster,  British novelist (1879 – 1970)

English novelist, short story writer, essayist and librettist. He is known best for his ironic and well-plotted novels examining class difference and hypocrisy in early 20th-century British society. Forster’s humanistic impulse toward understanding and sympathy may be aptly summed up in the epigraph to his 1910 novel Howards End: “Only connect … “. His 1908 novel,  A Room with a View, is his most optimistic work, while A Passage to India (1924) brought him his greatest success.
