More From David Duchovny

The generally accepted theory is that financial markets tend towards equilibrium, and...discount the future correctly. i operate using a different theory, according to which financial markets cannot possibly discount the future correctly because the do not merely discount the future; they help to shape it.
Shapes Different Helping
Religion becomes a matter of belief, and belief acts as a limitation on the mind; and the mind then is never free. but it is only in freedom that you can find out what is true, what is god, not through any belief; because your belief projects what you think god ought to be, what you think ought to be true. if you believe god is love, god is good, god is this or that, your very belief prevents you from understanding what is god, what is true.
Powerful Believe Thinking
"don't believe me, don't believe yourself, and don't believe anybody else." don't believe me, because what i say is only truth for me. don't believe yourself, because most of the time what you tell yourself is only truth for you - especially when you tell yourself that you're not good enough, you're not intelligent enough, you're not beautiful enough - when you reject yourself before anybody else can reject you. and don't believe anybody else, because what they say is only truth for them.
Beautiful Believe Intelligent
By the age of fifteen, i had convinced myself that nobody could give a reasonable explanation of what he meant by the word 'god' and that it was therefore as meaningless to assert a belief as to assert a disbelief in god. though this, in a general way, has remained my position ever since, i have always avoided unnecessarily to offend other people holding religious belief by displaying my lack of such belief, or even stating my lack of belief, if i was not challenged.
Religious People Giving
Sometimes people hold a core belief that is very strong. when they are presented with evidence that works against that belief, the new evidence cannot be accepted. it would create a feeling that is extremely uncomfortable, called cognitive dissonance. and because it is so important to protect the core belief, they will rationalize, ignore and even deny anything that doesn't fit in with the core belief.
Faith Atheist Strong
We must have a spiritual rebirth. we must be born out of the belief in externalities into the belief of inner realities, out of the belief that we are separated from god, into the belief that we are part of a unitary wholeness.

I have no use for cranks who despise music, because it is a gift of god. music drives away the devil and makes people joyful; they forget thereby all wrath, unchastity, arrogance, and the like. next after theology, i give to music the highest place and the greatest honor.

Most of us know about god, but that is quite different from knowing god.
Knowing Different Knowing God
When i think of god, when i think of him as existent, and when i believe him to be existent, my idea of him neither increases nordiminishes. but as it is certain there is a great difference betwixt the simple conception of the existence of an object, and the belief of it, and as this difference lies not in the parts or composition of the idea which we conceive; it follows, that it must lie in the manner in which we conceive it.
