Quotes by Benjamin Paul Blood (?)

“I think most persons who shall have tested it will accept this as the central point of the illumination: That sanity is not the basic quality of intelligence, but is a mere condition which is variable, and like the humming of a wheel, goes up or down the musical gamut according to a physical activity; and that only in sanity is formal or contrasting thought, while the naked life is realized only outside of sanity altogether; and it is the instant contrast of this ‘tasteless water of souls’ with formal thought as we ‘come to that leaves in the patient an astonishment that the awful mystery of Life is at last but a homely and a common thing, and that aside from mere formality the majestic and the absurd are of equal dignity.”

“Ordinary philosophy is like a hound hunting his own tail. The more he hunts the farther he has to go, and his nose never catches up with his heels, because it is forever ahead of them. So the present is already a foregone conclusion, and I am ever too late to understand it...The truth is that we travel on a journey that was accomplished before we set out; and the real end of philosophy is accomplished, not when we arrive at, but when we remain in, our destination (being already there)—which may occur vicariously in this life when we cease our intellectual questioning”

“When sensibly sec the image or picture of our room in the mirror, and rationally conclude that no room is there as there appears, reason assumes a deception of sense. Hut there is, then, somewhat worthy of her remark, no matter whether characterized as an act, a fact, or a falsity; she confesses the thus nest, even in denying the of the illusion; and although affirming that the illusion is not outward in matter, but is an error in one side of the mind— affirming that it is not there whether seen or not, but only as seen, and that there is no unseen color, nor unfit pain, and that these seeming realities are mistakes which but for sense were not,”
― Benjamin Paul Blood, The Anaesthetic Revelation and the Gist of Philosophy
