    This little exchange from the film Murder My Sweet from 1944:

    Philip Marlowe : What were you saying?

    Dr. Sonderborg : I made no remark.

    Philip Marlowe : Remarks want you to make them. They got their tongues hanging out waiting to be said.
    “If a man does not keep pace with [fall into line with] his companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer. Let him step to the music which he hears, however measured or far away.” - Thoreau

    Some people lose their faith because Heaven shows them too little. But how many people lose their faith because Heaven shows them too much ?!

    Taken from a movie that I disagree with it's story, but has this great quote. The prophecy.


    To add my words: People can be corrupted in many ways. Be careful in this life when things are going too bad, but also when it's going too good. (I would worry mostly in the second part)

    Is every mind connected to form a peer to peer network that creates the illusion of a shared reality, making the appearance of material reality a simulation created through shared beliefs?

    "The greatest of all the reformers of the depraved religion of his own country, was Jesus of Nazareth. Abstracting what is really his from the rubbish in which it is buried, easily distinguished by it's luster from the dross of his biographers, and as separable . . . as the diamond from the dung hill."

    Alistair Cook was a very long running BBC voice famous for his regular weekly "Letter from America". I came to think of him as the ultimate soft power of establishment dogma, but this quote came as a surprise to me.

    "Culture is the origination and development of the psyche that establishes mental function through archetypal arcane systems of codification.
    Multi sensory ritual entrainment that sets preordained suggestions into repetition, becoming hardened into belief, ritualised into tradition, crystallised into culture and organised into religion.
    This Human psychogenesis has from the beginning of this mutant paradigm been braiding a global pattern of conflicting cultural determinism.
    Ultimately Culture ensures actions are taken external to the cognitive processes of free will.
    As the gift of transcendent insight realised in the portal created by each breath is overridden by traditional belief systems.
    The countless cogs and wheels of synchronised global circumstances that have been maliciously orchestrated are now blatantly manifesting a trajectory of collusion and collision; connecting all Human events together in one all-encompassing agenda of oppression.
    The weave of this web of total control is being revealed.
    We chose this time line.
    In the face of this the way out is in ... self referencing."
