"Jerusalem, with all your glory and crimes, Farewell."

The soul is drawn to perfect light by four white steeds, and these are Will, and Faith, and Helpfulness and Love.
That which one wills to do, he has the power to do. A knowledge of that power is faith; and when faith moves, the soul begins its flight.
A selfish faith leads not to light.
There is no lonely pilgrim on the way to light. Men only gain the heights by helping others gain the heights.

Fear is the chariot in which man rides to death; And when he finds himself within the chamber of the dead, he learns that he has been deceived; his chariot was a myth, and death a fancy child.

But someday, all man's lessons will be learned, and from the den of unclean, beasts and birds, and creeping things, he will arise to walk in light.

"If you would ask me what to study, I would say, yourself , and when you well had studied them, and then would ask me what to study next, I would reply, yourself." Elihu to his pupils

I love how the author builded up the argument .

“Reality-adjusted” thinking is cultural thinking. Our accepted concepts
define our common-sense reality, and common sense means sensory responses held
in common. And the only way we know in which responses are so held is through
our language structure

Culture’s word-built world acts as a stimulus substitute that replaces, changes, curtails, or mutates stimuli from a real world.
What we experience as acculturated people is never the free interaction with our life flow, that for
which we are designed by our “primary programming".
Rather, we experience a life flow filtered through an ideation scheme sharply altering our real world.

In reading the hymns, one has the impression that, to him, the order of nature and the mystery of life were quite marvellous enough in themselves, without man’s needing to seek, beyond them, in happenings that stagger him as unnatural (whether they really be so or not) an occasion to praise the power and wisdom of the Creator.

he based his religion upon the three ideas that summarise them, namely: (1) The essential equivalence of all forms of energy, including that yet today unanalysed (and perhaps unanalysable) form which is life; (2) The essential identity of matter and energy, each of the two being but the subtler or the coarser aspect of the other;
(3) The indestructible existence, without beginning, without end, of that One unknown

It was difficult to see the two sides of life flourish simultaneously.
but there was no reason why they should not do so.
indeed, something told him that they should do so; that, as long as man has a visible body and lives on the material plane, there is no perfection unless they do thrive harmoniously.

" He who through the error of attachmemt loves his body, abides wandering in darkness, sensible ans suffering the things of death, but who realize that the body is but the tomb of his soul, rises to immortality"

I'M IN LOVE WITH THIS BOOK

It is suggest that the phenomena now called mental illnesses be locked at afresh and more simply, that they be removed from the category of illnesses, and that they be regarded as the expressions of man's struggle with the problem of how he should live.

Death is not and end..but a goal

Reading the book ---> getting felling/thoughts explosion ------> crying for no reason ------> sleep ------> repeat

Nature is playful and terrible. Some see the playful side and dally with it and let it sparkle. Others see the horror and cover their heads and are more dead than alive. The way does not lead between both, but embraces both. It is both cheerful play and cold horror.

He who enters into his own must grope through what lies at hand,He must embrace the worthless and the worthy with the same love. A mountain is nothing, and a grain of sand holds kingdoms, or also nothing. Judgment must fall from you, even taste, but above all pride, even when it is based on merit.

The mystery play is soft like air and thin smoke, and you are raw matter that is disturbingly heavy.

"The clever person mocks wisdom,since mockery is his weapon. He uses it because he struck with wisdom. If he is not struck,he would not need a weapon"

I think these line a resemblance for what happened to Jesus perfectly. The fact that the people at the Jesus time hates Jesus cuz his wisdom.

It's an act that needs to think about it more deeply , why we mocks wisdom that much. In any form not just religious form

Sören Kierkegaard key word is "spirit". Nietzsche emphasis was on life, power, and instinct,all threatened by intellect and spirit , perverted by a misfit culture, and to be defended by an undefinable vitalism.

Man's dishonesty with himself is his greatest enemy. When he makes a mistake, his memory admits, "I have done this", but his pride opposes by saying, "I cannot have done this", and pride wins over memory.
