“What I am proposing here is an experiment in practical Spinozism. Try it for yourself and see if it works. No matter what happens, say to yourself, “This could not be otherwise,” and see what happens to your mood. See if you are less or more affected by causes opposed to your nature. See if your thoughts become more your own or are continually sidetracked by external thoughts that intrude on you. In short, see if this makes you more or less free.”
Brent Adkins, True Freedom: Spinoza's Practical Philosophy

“A plateau is a temporary coagulation of intensive processes into a stable state.”
Brent Adkins, Deleuze and Guattari's A Thousand Plateaus: A Critical Introduction and Guide

“What is crucial about both of these concepts for our purposes here is that Bergson is explicit that neither movement nor duration can be thought as a succession of discrete points. On this point Deleuze quotes Bergson approvingly, “‘The real whole might well be, we conceive, an indivisible continuity.”
