In existing criminology there are concepts: a criminal man, a criminal profession, a criminal society, a criminal sect, and a criminal tribe, but there is no concept of a criminal state, or a criminal government, or criminal legislation. Consequently what is often regarded as "political" activity is in fact a criminal activity.
P.D. OuspenskyIdeas by themselves cannot produce change of being; your effort must go in the right direction, and one must correspond to the other.
P.D. OuspenskyI mean that you always know what results will come from one or another of your actions; but in a strange way you want to do one thing and get the result that could only come from another
P.D. OuspenskyIf you want to remember yourself, the best thing is not to think about yourself. As long as you think about yourself, you will not remember yourself.

P.D. OuspenskyWe often think we express negative emotions, not because we cannot help it, but because we should express them.
P.D. OuspenskyYou can understand other people only as much as you understand yourself and only on the level of your own being. This means you can judge other people's knowledge but you cannot judge their being. You can see in them only as much as you have in yourself. But people always make the mistake of thinking they can judge other people's being. In reality, if they wish to meet and understand people of a higher development than themselves they must work with the aim of changing their being.
P.D. Ouspensky
