To enter heaven, travel hell,
Be piteous or terrible.
One positively needs to ease
Of plenary indulgences.
Beden seni cehenneme de götürebilir, cennete de. O sadece bir araç. Kendisi tarafsız: sen ne zaman gitmek istersen o hazır.
The body can take you to hell or to heaven. It's just a tool. He is neutral: whenever you want to go, it is ready.
Our mind wondering about itself has at times indulged the thought that it is not earthly. It has judged itself to be of "heavenly" origin. It has so judged sometimes apart from any special revelation of faith. There- fore it is that such a view comes before us here.
The soul, when Omar Khayyám had sent it on its great excursion, returned with answer "I myself am Heaven and Hell"

“Literary or scientific, liberal or specialist, all our education is predominantly verbal and therefore fails to accomplish what it is supposed to do. Instead of transforming children into fully developed adults, it turns out students of the natural sciences who are completely unaware of Nature as the primary fact of experience, it inflicts upon the world students of the humanities who know nothing of humanity, their own or anyone else’s.”
Life felt like hell, because we expected it to feel like heaven.
"It was on Van Gogh, and the picture at which the book opened was “The Chair”— that astounding portrait of a Ding an Sich, which the mad painter saw, with a kind of adoring terror, and tried to render on his canvas. But it was a task to which the power even of genius proved wholly inadequate. The chair Van Gogh had seen was obviously the same in essence as the chair I had seen. But, though incomparably more real than the chairs of ordinary perception, the chair in his picture remained no more than an unusually expressive symbol of the fact."
"Mescalin raises all colors to a higher power and makes the percipient aware of innumerable fine shades of difference, to which, at ordinary times, he is completely blind. It would seem that, for Mind at Large, the so-called secondary characters of things are primary. Unlike Locke, it evidently feels that colors are more important, better worth attending to, than masses, positions and dimensions."
"(2) Visual impressions are greatly intensified and the eye recovers some of the perceptual innocence of childhood, when the sensum was not immediately and automatically subordinated to the concept. Interest in space is diminished and interest in time falls almost to zero."
