As we grow older and see the ends of stories as well as their beginnings, we realize that to the people who take part in them it is almost of greater importance that they should be stories, that they should form a recognizable pattern, than that they should be happy or tragic. The men and women who are withered by their fates, who go down to death reluctantly but without noticeable regret for life, are not those who have lost their mates prematurely or by perfidy, or who have lost battles or fallen from early promise in circumstances of public shame, but those who have been jilted or were the victims of impotent lovers, who have never been summoned to command or been given any opportunity for success or failure.

"Art is not a plaything, but a necessity, and its essence, form, is not a decorative adjustment, but a cup into which life can be poured, lifted to the lips and tasted. If one's own existence has no form, if its events do not come handily to mind and disclose their significance, we feel about ourselves as if we were reading a bad book. We can all of us judge the truth of this, for hardly any of us manage to avoid some periods where the main theme of our lives is obscured by details, when we involve ourselves with persons who are insufficiently characterized; and it is possibly true not only of individuals, but of nations."

What people who contend for things and who are principally concerned with power, status and commerce lose is access to the source of unlimited resources, mind.

Marketing, manufacturing high speed trading design exploit existing resources, they acquire value, or distribute it.

Only mind can create new value.

You have to trust mind - it can't be driven or required to conform to schedules or desires - it may or not. Mind is a collaboration of unconscious and conscious that is, as it is, ever becoming.

Mind is the self, and unselfish.

"If you want to regulate your life or judge history, you should at least know how God spends his day s. He has set aside a place, four cubits by four, and there he studies Talmud for the first three hours. From the fourth to the sevventh hour, God sits and judges the world, but since he sees the world is guilty, he rises from the seat of Judgement and goes to sit on the throne of Mercy. During the third part of the day he sits there and feeds all the creatures of the world from the rhinoceros to the flea. During the fourth part of the day God plays with the Leviathan."

There were no patronyms in Europe until around 1300 AD. Before that time you'd have one name, like a supermodel or an appliance, and you wouldn't have it for long. Human life expectancy was so short you'd do well if you managed to learn your own single barreled name before lights out.

This favored the pedovore cultist who controlled knowledge, used symbolic languages etc.

Hope's not a lottery. It's not paralysis.

It is the hospitality that luck, good luck exacts. Aladdin got his luck. Because measured up. Or for no apparent reason. He did receive it.

I think it was a princess - via lamp - the luck was fungible.

Nowadays we need to welcome luck. We need to cultivate it for ourselves, our country and our kind.
