“Ultimately, man finds in things nothing but what he himself has imported into them.”
—F. Nietzsche, The Will to Power, §606 (excerpt).

Though we see the same world, we see it through different eyes.
Virginia Woolf, Three Guineas (via philosophybits)
Once you begin to take yourself seriously as a leader or as a follower, as a modern or as a conservative, then you become a self-conscious, biting, and scratching little animal whose work is not of the slightest value or importance to anybody.

Walter Russell - Law of Crystallization, “The Universal One”, 1926.
Russell’s cosmology describes a Universe where nine amorphous inert gases project concept into form, climaxing in carbon, which has the highest melting point of any element, which dissolves back into space where its memory is preserved in the inert gases. When compared the Rodin Fibonacci numbers around the circle the correspondence is clear. The 1 and 8 which lie along the perpendicular line from the two 9s suggests the Law of Octaves, and perfect cubic Crystallization (Diamond) which occurs at the peak of the wave. Note also that the cube of any whole number added up to a single digit will always be 1,8, or 9.
Every revolution was first a thought in one man’s mind and when the same thought occurs in another man, it is the key to that era.
