*---- Quotes For The Week ----*
Change the focus of the eye. When you have done that, then the end of the world as you formerly knew it will have occurred, and you will experience the radiance of the divine presence everywhere, here and now.
--Joseph Campbell

Popper agreed with Marx that the task of philosophy is to change the world and not merely to describe it. But he did not think that there are laws of history or laws of economics that govern change, or that philosophy will have completed its task by articulating them. Life continually presents us with new problems. We try to solve them by proposing new scientific theories and social institutions. But the theories that we propose may or may not serve our ends. So we continually test them, and criticize them, in an effort to improve them. We try, in this way, to kill our false theories and our ineffective institutions before they kill us. But we do so, in an open society, with the conscious recognition that we are largely responsible for our own decisions.
--Mark Amadeus Notturno, 'On Popper'.

Open your eyes, for this world is only a dream.
--Rumi
