Aldous Huxley, society, sympathy for the Devil, agnosticism, Gurdjieff, and life as a lesbian

*

Aldous Huxley emphasizes the fact that modern culture causes chronic over stimulation.

There is an arrogance in the question 'why?'.

Society collapses as inevitably and inexorably as does a plane.

Have 'sympathy for the Devil' for he did not choose himself.

Nebulism is agnosticism: the 'why?' is not knowable.

From Sartre's La Nausea, the mind demands reason and meaning. Therefore the man serves the mind, and not vice versa.

Absolute reason is impossible: we are all courting a closet lesbian.

The past is not over yet, it is still affecting the present.

Gurdjieff's reason why God hides himself is simply this: People do not value what is easily come by.'
