17 The Four Noble Truths- "The key to understanding what the Buddha is getting at is seeing how the four truths hang together. All experience has a beginning; all experience has an end.
18 All experience arises and ceases (the second and third truths).This arising and ceasing is structural; it is irrelevant which kind of experience we are talking about, be it pleasant
19 or painful, physical or mental, Eastern or Western. Further, experiences arise and cease because of causes.They do not arise and cease randomly, but because of specific causes which
20 can be discovered in the course of vipassana meditation. The fact that all experience arises and ceases makes experience itself fundamentally unsatisfactory (the first truth).
21 It follows from the fact that all experience ceases because of specific causes, that if we discover those causes and allow them to manifest, we can discover the way to bring painful
22 experience to an end (the fourth truth). The Four Noble Truths hang together. Hence the Buddha said: The one who sees dukkha sees also the arising of dukkha, sees also the cessation
23 of dukkha, and sees also the way leading to the cessation of dukkha.(S5.437)"

273 "It would have been impossible for us to develop our plan for the world if we had been subjected to the lights of publicity during those years. But, the world is more
274 sophisticated and prepared to march towards a world government. The supranational sovereignty of an intellectual elite and world bankers is surely preferable to the
275 national autodetermination practiced in past centuries."
276 --David Rockefeller
277
278 "Today we need a nation of minute men; citizens who are not only prepared to take up arms, but citizens who regard the preservation of freedom as a basic purpose of their daily

288 "The argument that the two parties should represent opposed ideals and policies, one, perhaps, of the Right and the other of the Left, is a foolish idea acceptable only

290 leading to any profound or extensive shifts in policy."
291 --Professor Carroll Quigley's magnus opus Tragedy & Hope, 1966:
292
293 “Six mistakes mankind keeps making century after century:
294 Believing that personal gain is made by crushing others;
295 Worrying about things that cannot be changed or corrected;
296 Insisting that a thing is impossible because we cannot accomplish it;

321
322 "When you become entitled to exercise the right of voting for public officers, let it be impressed on your mind that God commands you to choose for rulers just men who will

353 "Every dollar spent to punish a drug user or seller is a dollar that cannot be spent collecting restitution from a robber. Every hour spent investigating a drug user or seller

355 case that might otherwise have been plea bargained."

371{*} "I am interested in politics so that one day I will not have to be interested in politics."
372 --Ayn Rand
373
374 "Regulation - which is based on force and fear - undermines the moral base of business dealings. It becomes cheaper to bribe a building inspector than to meet his standards of
375 construction. A fly-by-night securities operator can quickly meet all the S.E.C. requirements, gain the inference of respectability, and proceed to fleece the public. In an
376 unregulated economy, the operator would have had to spend a number of years in reputable dealings before he could earn a position of trust sufficient to induce a number of
377 investors to place funds with him. Protection of the consumer by regulation is thus illusory."

387 --Michel de Montaigne
388
389 “Let the tutor not merely require a verbal account of what the boy has been taught but the meaning and the substance of it: let him judge how the child has profited from it not from
390 the evidence of his memory but from that of his life. Let him take what the boy has just learned and make him show him dozens of different aspects of it and then apply it to just as
391 many different subjects, in order to find out whether he has really grasped it and make it part of himself, judging the boy's progress by what Plato taught about education. Spewing
392 up food exactly as you have swallowed it is evidence of a failure to digest and assimilate it; the stomach has not done its job if, during concoction, it fails to change the
393 substance and the form of what it is given.â€
394 --Michel de Montaigne
395
396 “It is a disaster that wisdom forbids you to be satisfied with yourself and always sends you away dissatisfied and fearful, whereas stubbornness and foolhardiness fill their hosts

425(*) "The most basic principle to being a free American is the notion that we as individuals are responsible for our own lives and decisions. We do not have the right to rob our neighbors
426 to make up for our mistakes, neither does our neighbor have any right to tell us how to live, so long as we aren’t infringing on their rights. Freedom to make bad decisions is
427 inherent in the freedom to make good ones. If we are only free to make good decisions, we are not really free.â€

444 “When the Federal Reserve Act was passed, the people of these United States did not perceive that a world banking system was being set up here. A super-state controlled by International
445 Bankers and international industrialists acting together to enslave the world for their own pleasure. Every effort has been made by the Fed to conceal its powers, but the truth is –
446 the Fed has usurpe the Government. It controls everything here, and it controls all our foreign relations. It makes and breaks governments at will.†Concerning the Great Depression
447 and the country's acceptance of FDR's New Deal, he asserts: “It was no accident. It was a carefully contrived occurrence. The International Bankers sought to bring about a condition
448 of despair here so they might emerge as the rulers of us all.â€

568 nepotism, or to soothe the rebellious masses. Corruption, Misinformation, and organized discontent are rewarded. The distribution or redistribution of wealth by any means other than merit, without a truly
569 enlightened flawless infrastructure;which we have not evolved to yet on a large scale, will only lead to corruption, inefficiency, lower total wealth creation, and therefor lower overall quality of life.Quit looking for
570 a handout and follow the well documented easy steps to become productive. If you feel guilty because you have more wealth than the unproductive, then help them or donate to causes that have merit."

Now the great Western drama of pretence and evasion draws finally to a close. Man is trapped in his own lies, betrayed by his own gods. And the hand of science has torn the veil from the face of the god that men worship, and behold, it is death. For man needs above all things love, and for him now there is not love, but only the face of death, that he has worshipped. Demons in the shape of monstrous machines rule his nightmares. Incubi bestride his marriage bed and give poisoned suck to his children. His virtue is a lie, his honor is a lie, his marriage is a lie, his works are a lie, and in these lies he is caught like a silly and pitiful spider in the web of his own weaving."

713 The Seven Hermetic Principles from The Kyballion
714
715 I. THE PRINCIPLE OF MENTALISM.
716 “THE ALL is MIND; The Universe is Mental.†– The Kybalion.
717
718 II. THE PRINCIPLE OF CORRESPONDENCE.
719 “As above, so below; as below, so above.†– The Kybalion
720
721 III. THE PRINCIPLE OF VIBRATION.
722 “Nothing rests; everything moves; everything vibrates.†– The Kybalion.
723
724 IV. THE PRINCIPLE OF POLARITY.
725 “Everything is Dual; everything has poles; everything has its pair of opposites; like and unlike are the same; opposites are identical in nature, but different in degree; extremes meet; all truths are but half-truths; all paradoxes may be reconciled.†– The Kybalion.
726
727 V. THE PRINCIPLE OF RHYTHM.
728 “Everything flows, out and in; everything has its tides; all things rise and fall; the pendulum-swing manifests in
729 everything; the measure of the swing to the right is the measure of the swing to the left; rhythm compensates.†– The Kybalion.
730
731 VI. THE PRINCIPLE OF CAUSE AND EFFECT.
732 “Every Cause has its Effect; every Effect has its Cause; everything happens according to Law; Chance is but
733 a name for Law not recognized; there are many planes of causation, but nothing escapes the Law.†– The Kybalion.
734
735 VII. THE PRINCIPLE OF GENDER.
736 “Gender is in everything; everything has its Masculine and Feminine Principles; Gender manifests on all planes.†– The Kybalion.
737
738 "Many teachers will tell you to believe; then they put out your eyes of reason and instruct you to follow only their logic. But I want you to keep your eyes of reason open; in addition, I will open in you another eye, the eye of wisdom.â€
739 --Sri Yukteswar
740
741 “Unless you make yourself equal to God, you cannot understand God: for the like is not intelligible save to the like. Make yourself grow to a greatness beyond measure, by a bound free yourself from the body; raise yourself above all time, become Eternity; then you will understand God. Believe that nothing is impossible for you, think yourself immortal and capable of understanding all, all arts, all sciences, the nature of every living being. Mount higher than the highest height; descend lower than the lowest depth. Draw into yourself all sensations of everything created, fire and water, dry and moist, imagining that you are everywhere, on earth, in the sea, in the sky, that you are not yet born, in the maternal womb, adolescent, old, dead, beyond death. If you embrace in your thought all things at once, times, places, substances, qualities, quantities, you may understand God.â€
742 --Giordano Brunoâ€

747 There's really no such thing as an anarchist society, for no sooner do you get that chaos, that those with the most muscle emerge and make a government anew. Forcing all to follow. Governments are instituted among men and this cannot be abolished - It therefore falls to us to restrict such governments. To bind them fast with the laws of freedom, with godly moral codes and true liberty.
748 --Gavin Seim

But people have to interpret that journey in a way that is authentic for them… whatever helps you. We call it “finding your own true northâ€, like on a compass. In production-drive societies, we are tricked into believing that our true north is outside of us. So we are constantly looking outside ourselves to figure out if this is the right job, the right house, the right relationship, the right subject to be studying. But our true north is invariably inside us… if we do what we love to do, what we are inspired to do, what we believe in, it creates an entirely different response."

There is a tendency to regard esoteric teaching as necessarily abstruse and indirect, requiring always the use of the “esoteric sense†(whatever is meant by that) in order to arrive at understanding. Yet the more advanced the teaching, very frequently the more simply is it expressed. Abstruseness is related to the ignorance of the student — not to the mode of presentation of the teacher."

816 "Kundalini means the ‘coiled one’. Which the Yogic texts describes it as being coiled three and a half times around the base of the spine. In physics, three and a half is the equation between space and light. In Oriental texts the term for this is ‘Mahashakti’. ‘Shakti’ is one of the names of Kundalini, it is the same as the Hebrew, Shekinah. While ‘maha’ means ‘great’. This is the universal Life-force. She is the ‘world dreamer’. She brings existence into appearance - into being. This is what gives rise to the dualistic idea that there are separate beings. But, she is also called the ‘world destroyer’, meaning that when she awakens, and rises up through the middle pillar of the spine, the illusion of separateness is destroyed. They say the same thing of Shiva. If Shiva were to open his third eye everything would be destroyed by fire. But it really means that, when the third eye opens, phenomena is perceived to be made out of dazzling Universal Energy that is everywhere, and is everything."
817 --From ‘Tarot’s Occult Powers Course by David Goddard

819* "The power of ritual lies in the compounded impact it has upon the deeper levels of consciousness; which is why all spiritual Traditions use ritual in someform or another.

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue, or walk with Kings—nor lose the common touch, If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you, If all men count with you, but none too much; If you can fill the unforgiving minute with sixty seconds' worth of distance run, yours is the Earth and everything that's in it, And—which is more—you'll be a Man, my son!"

888 "The concept of a harmonious universe ordered according to "the Great Chain of Being" — a chain that connects the continuum of matter, body, mind, soul and spirit — stands as one of the most fundamental ideas of western thought. ... It continues to be a profound influence upon the deepest strata of our thought. And yet a major rift has appeared in the consciousness of our time because the theme of harmonia has not been translated into the realm of human conduct. The challenge of our time may be to revive it, and make divine harmony "the great theme" of the next millennium. Any success we have in accomplishing this will be based, in large part, on the achievements of Pythagoras."

We now believe that the universe is vibrating and that there are vibrations of other universes right in this room. There are the universes of dinosaurs because the comet didn’t hit 65 million years ago; the wave function of aliens from outer space looking at the rubble of an earth that already was destroyed — all in your living room, except we have decohered from them.

1183 “That government is best which governs leastâ€; and I should like to see it acted up to more rapidly and systematically. Carried out, it finally amounts to this, which also I believe, — “That government is best which governs not at allâ€; and when men are prepared for it, that will be the kind of government which they will have. Government is at best but an expedient; but most governments are usually, and all governments are sometimes, inexpedient. The objections which have been brought against a standing army, and they are many and weighty, and deserve to prevail, may also at last be brought against a standing government. The standing army is only an arm of the standing government. The government itself, which is only the mode which the people have chosen to execute their will, is equally liable to be abused and perverted before the people can act through it.

1312and can consciously control their behavior to not be belligerent.
1313The Clown does the opposite of what a person is supposed to do.
1314In this way, societal norms or values can be taught by an act or theater,
1315without the message being told directly.

1317Us Clowns and comedians have an essential role to play in society.
1318We can touch upon and highlight aspects of culture that cannot be
1319easily discussed or handled, and to smash through barriers of the taboo
1320and throw that pie in someone's face (metaphorically).
1321Comedians can talk/joke about race, sexuality, violence,
1322and cultural norms that is awkward to bring to the table,
1323and break the ice by making everyone laugh about it.
1324In this way, society can progress through those sticky topics
1325with the guiding ease of humor and laughter.
1326
1327Clowns are the unsung heroes of progress and making people's
1328lives easier by making people overcome their seriousness and righteousness.
1329Life is too crazy to take so literally..."

1332 "Thus, O Son, the whole Nature and Composition of those living things called Men, is very prone to Maliciousness, and is very familiar, and as it were nourished with it, and therefore is delighted with it. Now this wight if it shall come to learn or know, that the world was once made, and all things are done according to Providence and Necessity, Destiny, or Fate, bearing Rule over all: Will he not be much worse than himself, despising the whole because it was made. And if he may lay the cause of evil upon Fate or Destiny, he will never abstain from any evil work.
1333
1334Wherefore we must look warily to such kind of people, that being in ignorance, they may be less evil for fear of that which is hidden and kept secret. "
