Quote Left What I want to fix your attention on is the vast overall movement towards the discrediting, and finally the elimination, of every kind of human excellence -- moral, cultural, social or intellectual. And is it not pretty to notice how 'democracy' (in the incantatory sense) is now doing for us the work that was once done by the most ancient dictatorships, and by the same methods The basic proposal of the new education is to be that dunces and idlers must not be made to feel inferior to intelligent and industrious pupils. That would be 'undemocratic.' Children who are fit to proceed may be artificially kept back, because the others would get a trauma by being left behind. The bright pupil thus remains democratically fettered to his own age group throughout his school career, and a boy who would be capable of tackling Aeschylus or Dante sits listening to his coeval's attempts to spell out A CAT SAT ON A MAT. We may reasonably hope for the virtual abolition of education when 'I'm as good as you' has fully had its way. All incentives to learn and all penalties for not learning will vanish. The few who might want to learn will be prevented who are they to overtop their fellows And anyway, the teachers -- or should I say nurses -- will be far too busy reassuring the dunces and patting them on the back to waste any time on real teaching. We shall no longer have to plan and toil to spread imperturbable conceit and incurable ignorance among men. Quote Right
Quote Left We’ll drink the wine till the cup is dry, and kiss the girls so they’ll not cry, and toss the dice until we fly to dance with Jak o’ the Shadows. We’ll dance all night while the moon runs free, and dandle the lasses upon our knee, and then you’ll ride along with me, to dance with Jak o’ the Shadows. We’ll sing all night, and drink all day, and on the girls we’ll spend our pay, and when it’s gone, then we’ll away, to dance with Jak o’ the Shadows. There’re some delight in ale and wine, and some in girls with ankles fine but my delight, yes, always mine, is to dance with Jak o’ the Shadows. We’ll toss the dice however they fall, and snuggle the girls be they short or tall, then follow young Mat whenever he calls, to dance with Jak o’ the Shadows. Quote Right

Quote Left As to my own taste, the less makeup the better. I really prefer natural; mature faces can be quite beautiful, with only a lightly applied heart base. Quote Right

Quote Left Emotions are substance -- Love, hate, they are substance. Angels, they are substance. Maybe not what we commonly understand as physical matter, but spirit is substance. Spirit is real. For me, after everything has been cleaned and polished, there radiates love. Love is the source and ever evolving embodiment of manifest reality. Nothing exists outside of love...all else is illusion. Quote Right
Quote Left Is God testing you or me; is it all relevant; Behavior matters. Quote Right
Quote Left Each of us a Rough -- needing only the bench of experience combined with Faith. Faith is the cutting before polishing, every gemologist will tell you. No matter the training and precautions, each jewel starts as a gamble. Polishing can be the fun part, the realization of one's own inherent preciousness and beauty. Quote Right
Quote Left How much of seeming one is truly individual? Programed in a sense by physical/mental maybe spiritual constituents. Is there really an individual? And yet no two are the same conglomerate. No matter how many in the mix. The many/individual. And when we consider the all, maybe back to the God -- nothing existing outside of the limitless inside/outside of God. DNA, are there really any exclusions or limitations? We transverse living membranes of self-illusion. Quote Right
Quote Left I am really resenting AI in the Arts. It is not the death of art, because artists will do art no matter what. Always there will be small gatherings of innovative creative individuals. But none will make a buck at it. Commercial mediocrity will rule...young people will never develop the skills needed to produce unique, personal products. It will hurt soul and spirit development -- the devil must be overjoyed. Another appealing way to keep humanity on the surface layer of creation. Quote Right
Quote Left Never let the past consume the present. Let the present absorb the past. And no future left to matter. Quote Right
Quote Left The ultimate mystery all of us must penetrate is the human heart and its fathomless capacity to love friend and enemy alike with the same undisturbed compassion. Quote Right

Quote Left All Human evolution is only a matter of Remembering our contracts with Spirit. Quote Right

Quote Left "The heart has a frequency that words can only approximate, but a minor chord can translate." Quote Right
Quote Left Boys are like men, men are like boys, but neither is fully matured or grown. Quote Right
Quote Left The Iliad may be the most complex poem ever created, but its ultimate meaning, is, I think, fairly plain: if there is such a thing as justice, it is not for us, but for the gods, and if the gods should offer us a glimpse of it, it will turn out not to be what we thought it would be. Quote Right
Quote Left A poem which ultimately says, one way or another, "Where's mine?" will always be a bad poem. A good poem will always ultimately say, one way or another, "Here's yours." Quote Right
Quote Left It's a good idea for a poet to read a lot of poetry, preferably in more than one language, making no effort either to concentrate on or to avoid the poetry of any particular country or century, including your own: just read what you like. Then when you write a poem, assume your reader has read, understood, and liked all the same poetry that you have read, understood, and liked. That this isn’t true doesn’t matter. Quote Right
Quote Left Do not underestimate a man if you don't not know the knowledge he holds Quote Right
Quote Left “The amount of academic degrees you hold or your occupational title is of no consequence to your Awakening. The amount of Courage you have, is. And Courage cannot be faked. It speaks through your actions & alignment with unmasked & unmatrixed Truth. ©GhairoDanielsQuotes Quote Right
Quote Left The last bastion of matrixed life is family. We must remember that family exists for support & learning. It is impossible for family to offer unconditional love because unconditional love does not aid family stability, it usurps it for human evolution sake. In simple terms, family is defined by blood. Family is not defined by soul energy. Soul energy can only be held by Pure Consciousness ie. Godforce. Quote Right
Quote Left Sovereignty & Individuation of Soul requires non-membership of 3D matrix organisations whether they are “progressive” or not. ALL 3D organisations have protocols. Protocols exist only in the 3D. More often than not these protocols restrict freedom of expression in one way or another. The more advanced the consciousness of a matrixed organisation the more subtle & insidious the protocols become. Quote Right
Quote Left New technologies tend to be over-estimated in the short term, and under-estimated in the long term. Quote Right
