Good action and thoughts produce consequences which tend to neutralize, or put a stop to, the result of evil thoughts and actions. For as we give up the life of self (and note that, like forgiveness, repentance and humility are also special cases of giving), as we abandon what the German mystics called "the I, me, mine," we make ourselves progressively capable of receiving grace. By grace we are enabled to know reality more completely, and this knowledge of reality helps us to give up more of the life of selfhood - and so on, in a mounting spiral of illumination and regeneration.
Aldous HuxleyThe worst enemy of life, freedom and the common decencies is total anarchy; their second worst enemy is total efficiency.
Aldous HuxleyYou all remember, I suppose, that beautiful and inspired saying of Our Ford's: History is bunk.
