One of the great fallacies of our time is that the nazis rose to power because they imposed order on chaos. precisely the opposite is true - they were successful because they imposed chaos on order. they tore up the commandments, they denied the super-ego, what you will. they said, "you may persecute the minority, you may kill, you may torture, you may couple and breed without love." they offered humanity all its great temptations. nothing is true, everything is permitted.

The rose is a rose, and was always a rose. but the theory now goes that the apple's a rose, and the pear is, and so's the plum, i suppose. the dear only knows what will next prove a rose. you, of course, are a rose - but were always a rose.

Have faith to keep all the commandments of god, knowing that they are given to bless his children and bring them joy. [you] will encounter people who pick which commandments they will keep and ignore others that they choose to break. i call this the cafeteria approach to obedience. this practice of picking and choosing will not work. it will lead to misery. to prepare to meet god, one keeps all of his commandments. it takes faith to obey them, and keeping his commandments will strengthen that faith.
Children Practice Knowing
The term "self" seems a suitable one for the unconscious substrate whose actual exponent in consciousness is the ego. the ego stands to the self as the moved to the mover, or as object to subject, because the determining factors that radiate outward from the self surround the ego on all sides and are therefore supraordinate to it. the self, like the unconscious, as an a priori existent out of which the ego evolves. it is, so to speak, an unconscious prefiguration of the ego. it is not i who create myself; rather, i happen to myself.

Nature is typified by strength; humanity by weakness. nature adheres to an immutable order; humanity to an ever-increasing chaos. nature recognizes no equality at any level of it's order; humanity preaches an all-prevasive equality and freely hands-out unearned "rights" in an attempt to make its doctrine a living reality. in short: humanity is democratic, nature is fascist.

To be totally honest, if i could be thinner without it causing a lot of pain and anxiety in my life, i would be. but today the reality is my life is more important to me than my weight - and thank god for that.

The threat to men of great dignity, privilege and pretense is not from the radicals they revile; it is from accepting their own myth. exposure to reality remains the nemesis of the great -- a little understood thing.
