Despite their immense difference in mass, an electron’s negative charge exactly cancels out the positive charge on the proton…

Science seems to gloss over an extraordinary fact - that ‘positive’ and ‘negative’ exist at all. What a mystery it is that like charges repel, and unlike attract…

Aristotle said that two mysterious forces run through the universe - attraction and repulsion…Attraction and repulsion have something to do with the intelligence, with the ‘soul’ of the universe itself - they are the manifestation at the level of matter/energy of the participatory nature of electrons and protons, perhaps no different in principle to the attractions and repulsions that we humans feel towards each other.

Identity is not an object; it is a process with addresses for all the different directions and dimensions in which it moves…

Each person sees nature differently, according to his own personal attunement…What we experience in the world depends on the perspective from which we see it.

There is no pure myth except the idea of a science that is pure of all myth.

“I would venture to say we cannot prove anything by one experiment or even several experiments together, that nothing is more dangerous than the desire to prove some thesis directly through experiments…. Every piece of empirical evidence we find, every experiment in which this evidence is repeated, really represents just one part of what we know…. Every piece of empirical evidence, every experiment, must be viewed as isolated, yet the human faculty of thought forcibly strives to unite all external objects known to it….

We often find that the more limited the data, the more artful a gifted thinker will become. As though to assert his sovereignty he chooses a few agreeable favorites from the limited number of facts and skillfully marshals the rest so they never contradict him directly. Finally he is able to confuse, entangle, or push aside the opposing facts and reduce the whole to something more like the court of a despot than a freely constituted republic.”

If you want to have any idea about the connection between astronomy, that is the heavenly bodies themselves, and astrology, that is the influences of these structures on the human being, then you must understand that, in reality, the Earth is still and flat, and the Sun and the heavens circle around the Earth…

If the organism is a whole and each section of it functions normally within that whole, then in the analytic experiment, which isolates the sections as it studies them, the properties and functions of any part must be modified by their isolation from the whole of the organism.

Thus, they cannot reveal the function of these parts in normal life.

There are innumerable facts which demonstrate how the functioning of a field is changed by its isolation. If we want to use the results of such experiments for understanding the activity of the organism in normal life (that is, as a whole), we must know in what way the condition of isolation modifies the functioning, and we must take these modifications into account.

We have every reason to occupy ourselves very carefully with this condition of isolation.”
