Guest guest Posted February 23, 2011 Report Share Posted February 23, 2011 Good Morning!! "You attend a talk given by a great scientist: he makes use ofdiagrams, charts and mathematical formulas so that you can followhis reasoning step by step. Unfortunately, diagrams, charts andmathematical formulas will not prevent this learned man, with allhis well-ordered, clear arguments, from losing his head in othercircumstances. For intellectuals may prove themselves to behighly methodical, disciplined and objective when it comes totheir work, but outside of it they see nothing strange in livingsubjectively, in the disorder and turmoil of their passions. Infact, if you look at the statistics, you will see that it isamong intellectuals that you will find the greatest number of theunbalanced and mentally ill. For the mind does not protect anyonefrom being unbalanced; quite the opposite even - it oftenindulges in all kinds of acrobatics that threaten its sanity.Life is not just made up of observations, measurements andcalculations. Humans are not machines. There is only one way offacing life's difficulties and unexpected shocks, of not allowingoneself to get swept away and destroyed by one's passions, ofdiscovering the true reality of things, and that is to developthe spiritual faculties."Omraam Mikhaël Aïvanhov Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
