It is not so much our friends’ help that helps us as the confident knowledge that they will help us. - Epicurus
Spinoza famously said, “I have made a ceaseless effort not to
ridicule, not to bewail, not to scorn human actions, but to understand
them.” If I truly want to live by Spinoza’s example
— and I do, though I freely admit to massive imperfection —
I must, must remember that. I may disagree, I may worry about the
negative consequences, but I do not have to scorn the human impulse.[atheist a go-go]
"A good world needs knowledge, kindliness, and courage; it does not need
a regretful hankering after the past or a fettering of the free
intelligence by the words uttered long ago by ignorant men. It needs a
fearless outlook and a free intelligence. It needs hope for the future,
not looking back all the time toward a past that is dead, which we
trust will be far surpassed by the future that our intelligence can
create."[Bertrand Russell]

Interesting find = Total Politics - sadly Spain doesn't seem to have got on this bandwagon as yet, but plenty to read whatever your persuasion :)

Jason Randhawa is a student, currently living in Canada. He is attending McGill University. His site - what is metaphysics and a great article Being the Change - click on his name to download the pdf - a good and inspiring story :)

Another interesting read - yep I certainly have been having a catch up on my reading LOL - I like this one in so far as Mellen concurs that what he had thought had become his reality, I see no reason to doubt his story, he's not trying to sell anything on the back of it - I hesitate at his use of God, I would rather it be named Universe - as I begin to realise that "man" turned universal Principles into Gods - and as science progresses this is what will ultimately be revealed - there is no above nor below, no heaven nor hell, life in all it's varying forms is but circles within circles - cyclic - [one man's up is another man's down :)]
