"Guard with jealous attention the public liberty. Suspect everyone who approaches that jewel. Unfortunately, nothing will preserve it but downright force. Whenever you give up that force, you are inevitably ruined."
~Patrick Henry
"If liberty means anything at all, it means the right to tell people what they do not want to hear." - George Orwell
"That is why the Athenian law maker Solon decreed it a crime for any citizen to shrink from controversy, and that is why our press was protected by the First Amendment. The only business in America specifically protected by the constitution, not primarily to amuse and entertain, not to emphasize the trivial and the sentimental, not to simply give the public what it wants, but to inform, to arouse, to reflect, to state our dangers and our opportunities, to indicate our crises, and our choices, to lead, mold, educate, and sometimes even anger, public opinion." -- JFK
I am an inventor, author, blogger, Dream interpreter, researcher, teacher and most of all student of all things. I am a proud introvert, and often too edgy. I've been accused of being stupid, but never being closed minded; I always try to learn something new every day and like a true explorer I always share the most fascinating things I discover, everything I post will likely make you do a double-take if it doesn't just blow your mind, I focus my research on the subconscious mind to explore the deeper components to life.... click subscribe and let's go on an adventure together. I focus my posts on the most interesting and fascinating facts and misconceptions we have in society. My goal is to learn and share something new and interesting every day.
A living being with a consciousness. A fractal aspect of a greater whole.

“What mathematics are to matter and force, occult science is to life and consciousness…” – Dion Fortune (born Violet Mary Firth), Sane Occultism
“Much has been said of the loneliness of wisdom, and how much the Truth seeker becomes a pilgrim wandering from star to star. To the ignorant, the wise man is lonely because he abides in distant heights of the mind. But the wise man himself does not feel lonely. Wisdom brings him nearer to life; closer to the heart of the world than the foolish man can ever be. Bookishness may lead to loneliness, and scholarship may end in a battle of beliefs, but the wise man gazing off into space sees not an emptiness, but a space full of life, truth, and law.” – Manly P. Hall, Sacred Magic of the Qabbalah
"Being alone makes you realize that all you got is yourself." – XXXTentacion (born Jahseh Dwayne Ricardo Onfroy)

"The tongue like a sharp knife, kills without drawing blood" – Buddha (Siddhartha Gautama)

"Divine sound is the cause of all manifestation. The knower of the mystery of sound knows the mystery of the whole universe." – Hazrat Inayat Khan
"The best Way to keep a Prisoner from Escaping is to make sure he Never knows he’s in Prison." – Fyodor Dostoyevsky
"The Ego is the Veil between Human and God." - Rumi

„Von allen großartigen Gefühlen, die die menschliche Brust in dem heißen Drange des Kampfes erfüllen, ist, wir wollen es nur gestehen, keines so mächtig und konstant wie der Seelendurst nach Ruhm und Ehre, den die deutsche Sprache so ungerecht behandelt, indem sie ihn in Ehrgeiz und Ruhmsucht, durch zwei unwürdige Nebenvorstellungen, herabzusetzen strebt. Freilich hat der Mißbrauch dieser stolzen Sehnsucht gerade im Kriege die empörendsten Ungerechtigkeiten gegen das menschliche Geschlecht hervorbringen müssen; aber ihrem Ursprunge nach sind diese Empfindungen gewiß zu den edelsten der menschlichen Natur zu zählen, und im Kriege sind sie der eigentliche Lebenshauch, der dem ungeheuren Körper eine Seele gibt. Alle anderen Gefühle, wieviel allgemeiner sie auch werden können, oder wieviel höher manche auch zu stehen scheinen, Vaterlandsliebe, Ideenfanatismus, Rache, Begeisterung jeder Art, sie machen den Ehrgeiz und die Ruhmbegierde nicht entbehrlich. Jene Gefühle können den ganzen Haufen im allgemeinen erregen und höherstimmen, aber geben dem Führer nicht das Verlangen, mehr zu wollen als die Gefährten, welches ein wesentliches Bedürfnis seiner Stelle ist, wenn er Vorzügliches darin leisten soll; sie machen nicht, wie der Ehrgeiz tut, den einzelnen kriegerischen Akt zum Eigentum des Anführers, welches er dann auf die beste Weise zu nutzen strebt, wo er mit Anstrengung pflügt, mit Sorgfalt sät, um reichlich zu ernten. Diese Bestrebungen aller Anführer aber, von dem höchsten bis zum geringsten, diese Art von Industrie, dieser Wetteifer, dieser Sporn sind es vorzüglich, welche die Wirksamkeit eines Heeres beleben und erfolgreich machen. Und was nun ganz besonders den höchsten betrifft, so fragen wir: hat es je einen großen Feldherrn ohne Ehrgeiz gegeben, oder ist eine solche Erscheinung auch nur denkbar?“
(Carl von Clausewitz, „Vom Kriege“)
