”When you find human society disagreeable and feel yourself justified in flying to solitude, you can be so constituted as to be unable to bear the depression of it for any length of time, which will probably be the case if you are young. Let me advise you, then, to form the habit of taking some of your solitude with you into society, to learn to be to some extent alone even though you are in company; not to say at once what you think, and, on the other hand, not to attach too precise a meaning to what others say; rather, not to expect much of them, either morally or intellectually, and to strengthen yourself in the feeling of indifference to their opinion, which is the surest way of always practicing a praiseworthy toleration. If you do that, you will not live so much with other people, though you may appear to move amongst them: your relation to them will be of a purely objective character. This precaution will keep you from too close contact with society, and therefore secure you against being contaminated or even outraged by it. Society is in this respect like a fire—the wise man warming himselt at a proper distance from it; not coming too close, like the fool, who, on getting scorched, runs away and shivers in solitude, loud his complaint that the fire burns.”

“The path of an honest fighter is a difficult one. And when the fighter grows cool in the evening of his life this is still no excuse to retire into games and amusement. Whoever remains faithful to his decision will realize that his whole life is a struggle. Such a person does not fall into the temptation of proudly telling others of what he has done with his life. Nor will he talk about the 'great decisions' he has made. He knows full well that at decisive moments you have to renew your resolve again and again and that this alone makes good the decision and the decision good.”

~ Søren Kierkegaard

13. But now, Oh my son, I will by heads run through the things that are. Understand what I say, and remember what you hear.

“I desire nothing, seek nothing but peace, the slumber of the soul. I have tasted all the hollowness and wretchedness of life and I despise it heartily. Whoever has lived and thought cannot but, in his soul, despise humanity. Activity, cares, worries, distractions - I am sick of them all. I wish for nothing, I seek nothing. I have no aim, for one gains that which one is eager for - and sees that it is all illusion. My joyous days have passed. I have cooled to them. In the educated world, amidst human beings, I feel the disadvantages of life too strongly, but alone, far from the crowd, I turn to stone. In this trance anything can happen, I see neither others nor myself. I do nothing and do not notice the actions either of others or myself - and I am at peace, 1 am indifferent. There can be no happiness for me, and I will not succumb to unhappiness.”

“Humankind has not woven the web of life. We are but one thread within it. Whatever we do to the web, we do to ourselves.”

God is man awakened.

You are the temple of the living God
Yet the Bible says "the Most High does not dwell in houses made by hands"

You are a part of an infinite consciousness seeking to know itself through infinite vantage points.

The constructors of these ancient buildings knew we are bioelectrical creatures.

With our head acting as an antenna for the mental plane.

And our heart as a frequency resonator and tuner.

They built structures not only to honour the beauty of the human temple.

But to replicate the technology of the human body within the architecture itself

The buildings were energy harvesting tools And possessed energetic healing abilities.
