MY PASSIONS Spiritual Atheism (astro-psychotheology/ astro-psychotheosophy) Politics (Liberal Socialism) "Educated men are as much superior to uneducated men as the living are to the dead. The fate of empires depend on the education of youth." Aristotle, 384–322 BCE "The plague of mankind is the fear and rejection of diversity: monotheism, monarchy, monogamy and, in our age, mono-medicine. The belief that there is only one right way to live, only one right way to regulate religious, political, sexual, medical affairs is the root cause of the greatest threat to man: members of his own species, bent on ensuring his salvation, security, and sanity." Thomas Szasz “Do not believe in anything simply because you have heard it. Do not believe in anything simply because it is spoken and rumored by many. Do not believe in anything simply because it is found written in your religious books. Do not believe in anything merely on the authority of your teachers and elders. Do not believe in traditions because they have been handed down for many generations. But after observation and analysis, when you find that anything agrees with reason and is conducive to the good and benefit of one and all, then accept it and live up to it." The Buddha, 563-483 BCE "We must question the story logic of having an all-knowing all-powerful God, who creates faulty Humans, and then blames them for his own mistakes." Quintus Aurelius Symmachus, 345 - 405 CE "The moment the slave resolves that he will no longer be a slave, his fetters fall. He frees himself and shows the way to others. Freedom and slavery are mental states." Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi "We gaze up at the same stars, the sky covers us all, the same universe encompasses us. What does is matter what practical system we adopt in our search for the truth? Not by one avenue only can we arrive at so tremendous a secret." Quintus Aurelius Symmachus, 345 - 405 CE "When we are born, we cry, but the whole world is overjoyed. When we die, the world cries and we can become overjoyed when we find the great liberation."
