Fundamental ideas are not a consequence of experience but a result of the particular constitution and activity of the mind which is independent of all experience in its origin though constantly combined with experience in its exercise.
Our science fails to recognize those special properties of life that make it fundamental to material reality. This view of the world - biocentrism - revolves around the way a subjective experience which we call consciousness relates to a physical process. It is a vast mystery and one that I have pursued my entire life.
I developed a mechanism so that whatever mistakes I made I would bounce straight back. Whatever was happening off the pitch I could put it to one side and maintain my form. Call it mental resilience or a strong mind but that is what we mean when we talk about experience in a football team.
A little reflection will show us that every belief even the simplest and most fundamental goes beyond experience when regarded as a guide to our actions.
I had some experience in dealing with people who have mental illness and depression but I didn't see the signs in myself. I couldn't ask for help because I didn't know I needed help.
Myth is an attempt to narrate a whole human experience of which the purpose is too deep going too deep in the blood and soul for mental explanation or description.
It is possible to experience an awakening in this life through realising just how precious each moment each mental process and each breath truly is.
Bitter experience has taught us how fundamental our values are and how great the mission they represent.
How are men to be secured in any rights without instruction how to be secured in the equal exercise of those rights without equality of instruction? By instruction understand me to mean knowledge - just knowledge not talent not genius not inventive mental powers.
The liberal ideal is that everyone should have fair access and fair opportunity. This is not equality of result. It's equality of opportunity. There's a fundamental difference.
A fundamentalist can't bring himself or herself to negotiate with people who disagree with them because the negotiating process itself is an indication of implied equality.
Just as there's garbage that pollutes the Potomac river there is garbage polluting our culture. We need an Environmental Protection Agency to clean it up.
There should be more attention paid to scientific research in the ecology area and I think that such attention to proper environmental concerns would make the public feel much better about it.
It is the greatest scam in history. I am amazed appalled and highly offended by it. Global Warming It is a scam. Some dastardly scientists with environmental and political motives manipulated long term scientific data to create an illusion of rapid global warming.
This Bush administration has a growing credibility gap maybe even a credibility chasm on environmental policy. The President has lost the trust of the American people when it comes to the environment.
Since the day he came into office President Bush has worked to gut more than 34 years of hard work by weakening many of our Nation's standing environmental laws some of which were signed into law by his father.
Public discourse has been polluted now for decades by corporate-funded disinformation - not just with climate change but with a host of health environmental and societal threats. The implications for the planet are grim.
