THE FATHER THE SON & THE HOLY SMOKE AMEN
(The Archetype of The Inner Apocalypse)
"...It is a frightening thought that man also has a Shadow side to him, consisting not just of little weaknesses and foibles, but of a positively demonic dynamism. The individual seldom knows anything of this; to him, as an individual, it is incredible that he should ever in any circumstances go beyond himself. But let these harmless creatures form a mass, and there emerges a raging monster; and each individual is only one tiny cell in the monster's body, so that for better or worse he must accompany it on its bloody rampages and even assist it to the utmost...Everyone carries a Shadow, and the less it is embodied in the individual's conscious life, the blacker and denser it is." - Jung
"Your visions will become clear only when you can look into your own heart. Who looks outside, dreams; who looks inside, awakes." - Jung
Apocalypse: a revelation, an unveiling. A disclosure of something hidden from the majority of mankind in an era dominated by falsehood and misconception i.e. the veil to be lifted
"It came like a black cloud rolling through the sky...that first day of summer I unveiled the secrets of doom" - Reverend Bizarre, Funeral Summer
"Love never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away. For we know in part, and we prophesy in part. But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away." - 1 Corinthians 13:8
"The basic tool for the manipulation of reality is the manipulation of words. If you can control the meaning of words, you can control the people who must use them." - Philip K. Dick
"If those in charge of our society - politicians, corporate executives, and owners of press and television - can dominate our ideas, they will be secure in their power. They will not need soldiers patrolling the streets. We will control ourselves." - Howard Zinn
"They could be made to accept the most flagrant violations of reality...and were not sufficiently interested in public events to notice what was happening." - George Orwell, 1984
"The central defect of evil is not the sin, but the refusal to acknowledge it." - M. Scott Peck, Christian philosopher
"Evil is maintained by mundane means, by people who see themselves as normal and who live ordinary lives." - Anon
"Language always gives you away." - George Carlin
"It is no measure of health to be well adjusted to a profoundly sick society." - Krishnamurti
"The power of accurate observation is commonly called cynicism by those who have not got it." - George Bernard Shaw
"Modern democracies are in thrall to a system of control so complete that it surpasses anything achieved by totalitarianism." - Chomsky
"I'm a pessimist because of intelligence, but an optimist because of will." - Antonio Gramsci
"Fear not your enemies, for they can only kill you. Fear not your friends, for they can only betray you. Fear only the indifferent, who permit the killers and betrayers to walk safely on the Earth." - Edward Yashinsky

"The tolerance which is the life element, the token of a free society, will never be the gift of the Powers That Be; it can, under the prevailing conditions of tyranny by the majority, only be won in the sustained effort of radical minorities, willing to break this tyranny and to work for the emergence of a free and sovereign majority - minorities intolerant, militantly intolerant and disobedient to the rules of behavior which tolerate destruction and suppression." - Herbert Marcuse
"A paranoid is someone who knows a little of what's going on." - William Burroughs
"The goal of a good society is to structure social relations and institutions so that cooperative and generous impulses are rewarded, while antisocial ones are discouraged. The problem with capitalism is that it best rewards the worst part of us: ruthless, competitive, conniving, opportunistic, acquisitive drives, giving little reward and often much punishment to honesty, compassion, fair play, many forms of hard work, love of justice, and a concern for those in need...The enormous gap between what US leaders do in the world and what Americans think their leaders are doing is one of the great propaganda accomplishments of the dominant political mythology." - Michael Parenti
"What a man takes in by contemplation, that he pours out in love." - Meister Eckhart
"Had I left those images hidden in the emotions, I might have been torn to pieces by them." - C.G. Jung
