God: "I am not usually recognized or if I am recognized, it is with such overpowering love or fear that it smothers the recognition.

Nothing should be powerful, it should just be, as it was meant to be.

The strength of Mortals is their Soul, and the strength of the Soul is LOVE.

ALL is LOVE nothing more."

(LOVE is LEARNING.)

"Today a young man on acid realized that all matter is really energy condensed into a slow vibration, that we are all one consciousness experiencing itself subjectively. There's no such thing as death, life is just a dream and we're an imagination of ourselves. Here's tom with the weather" - Tool - Third Eye

The guy speaking in that song was Bill Hicks.

Bill Hicks is kinda special to me since it was that very quote that eventually resulted in me truly believing in God. A time I'll never forget.

V.Good quote.

No probs.

You can download lots of his stuff from Kazaa. He is good but he tends to use his material many times over. He doesn't talk about spirituality a great deal but you can tell from what he says that he has good understanding.

Epictetus-"It is not the things themselves that disturb men, but their judgments about these things."f

Epicurus-"We recognize pleasure as the first and natural good; starting from pleasure we accept or reject; and we return to this as we judge every good thing, trusting this feeling of pleasure as our guide."

Baruch Spinoza-"Nothing in nature is contingent, but all things are from the necessity of the divine nature determined to exist and to act in a definite way."

Gottfried Leibniz-"The soul follows its own laws, and the body likewise follows its own laws; and they agree with each other in virtue of the pre-established harmony between all substances, since they are all representations of one and the same universe."

Nietzsche-"For the present, the comedy of existence has not yet 'become conscious' of itself. For the present, we still live in the age of tragedy, the age of maralities and religions."

Nietzsche-"The popular mind separates the lightning from its flash and takes the latter for an action, for the operation of a subject called lightning...But ther is no such substratum; there is no 'being' behind doing, effecting, becoming; 'the doer' is merely a fiction added to the deed-the deed is everything. The popular mind in fact doubles the deed; when it sees the lightning flash, it is the deed of a deed: it posits the same event first as cause and then a second time as its effect."

Albert Einstein-"I want to know God's thoughts, all the rest are details."

"Death is fortunate for the child, bitter to the youth, too late for the old."

"The world is a comedy to those that think, a tragedy to those that feel."

"Silence is deep as eternity; speech as shallow as time"
