Twain. Milne. Rousseau. Haudenosaunee.
In religion and politics people’s beliefs and convictions are in almost every case gotten at second-hand, and without examination, from authorities who have not themselves examined the questions at issue but have taken them at second-hand from other non-examiners, whose opinions about them were not worth a brass farthing. Mark Twain.
Destroying the joint means building a new system in which it is not OK to allow people to be marginalised, exploited and discriminated against, it’s not OK to ignore the needs of future generations, it’s not OK to wreck this extraordinary, beautiful, fragile planetary environment that sustains us – our Mother Earth. Christine Milne.
It is unnatural for a majority to rule, for a majority can seldom be organized and united for specific action, and a minority can. Jean-Jacques Rousseau.
THE CHANT OF DARKNESS: Wait here in the darkness! Come, all you who listen, Go the magic journey: Now the sky is empty, Of all sun-and-star-shine; Come, we lose our footing. Night no friend of ours is; She has shut her eyelids. Moon who has forgotten, Let us wait in Darkness! The First Chant following the opening of HAUDENOSAUNEE (Iroquois) RITUAL OF FIRE AND DARKNESS. Undated.
