Music for your mind.
About Me:
Plato (427 to 347 BC)
The real destroyer of the liberties of the people is he who spreads among them bounties, donations and benefits.
Plutarch (AD 46 to 120)
Where Liberty dwells, there is my country.
Benjamin Franklin (1706 to 1790)
Those that give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.
Benjamin Franklin (1706 to 1790)
We may look up to Armies for our Defense, but Virtue is our best Security. It is not possible that any State should long remain free, where Virtue is not supremely honored.
Samuel Adams (1722 to 1803)
Liberty, when it begins to take root, is a plant of rapid growth.
George Washington (1732 to 1799)
It will be found an unjust and unwise jealousy to deprive a man of his natural liberty upon the supposition he may abuse it.
George Washington (1732 to 1799)
If the freedom of speech is taken away then dumb and silent we may be led, like sheep to the slaughter.
George Washington (1732 to 1799)
The price of liberty is eternal vigilance.
Thomas Jefferson (1743 to 1826)
When the government fears the people, there is liberty. When the people fear the government, there is tyranny.
Thomas Jefferson (1743 to 1826)
The natural progress of things is for liberty to yield and government to gain ground.
Thomas Jefferson (1743 to 1826)
I believe there are more instances of the abridgement of the freedom of the people by gradual and silent encroachments of those in power than by violent and sudden usurpations.
James Madison (1751 to 1836)
It is a universal truth that the loss of liberty at home is to be charged to the provisions against danger, real or pretended, from abroad.
James Madison (1751 to 1836)
Necessity is the plea for every infringement of human freedom. It is the argument of tyrants; it is the creed of slaves.
William Pitt the Younger (1759 to 1806)
Those who deny freedom to others deserve it not for themselves; and, under the rule of a just God, cannot long retain it.
Abraham Lincoln (1809 to 1865)
The shepherd drives the wolf from the sheep's throat, for which the sheep thanks the shepherd as his liberator, while the wolf denounces him for the same act as the destroyer of liberty.
Abraham Lincoln (1809 to 1865)
People demand freedom of speech to make up for the freedom of thought which they avoid.
Soren Kierkegaard (1813 to 1855)
Liberty never came from government. The history of liberty is a history of resistance. The history of liberty is a history of limitations of governmental power, not the increase of it.
Woodrow Wilson (1856 to 1924)
Speech in New York, September 9, 1912
If a nation values anything more than freedom, it will lose its freedom; and the irony of it is that if it is comfort or money that it values more, it will lose that, too.
Somerset Maugham (1874 to 1965)
The trouble with fighting for human freedom is that one spends most of one's time defending scoundrels. For it is against scoundrels that oppressive laws are first aimed, and oppression must be stopped at the beginning if it is to be stopped at all.
Henry Mencken (1880 to 1956)
March 23, 1775
Give Me Liberty Or Give Me Death
Patrick Henry (1736 to 1799)
The very word "secrecy" is repugnant in a free and open society; and we are as a people inherently and historically opposed to secret societies, to secret oaths and to secret proceedings.
John F. Kennedy (1917 to 1963)
Freedom for the individual to believe in and do whatever they want, without impeding the liberty of others, is liberty.
Regardless of the ideals a majority believes in, they do not have the right to force them on others.
Liberty is the right to do it wrong. Liberty is the freedom to make mistakes.
The breath of Liberty inhales tolerance and exhales forgiveness.

The problem about describing those moments is... it requires a level of ignorance to exist in the material reality ... Which makes it fundamentally paradoxical to even describe what enlightenment is.
If you understand enlightenment you know the irony of the surreal. The truth is... enlightenment has been, is, and will always be seeking you.
Isn't it fractally ironic how at the cellular level, coming together as one we get how to exist symbiotically, yet at the macro level we are, for the most part, still acting like single cells?
Paradoxically there is no escaping the former without ignorance. As long as we have the ability to deny and lie we can enjoy the illusion of pleasure countered by the inevitable suffering.
There is nothing new to look forward to after death... Death is a return to an infinity of what you were before birth.
Once you come face to face with "it" .... once you look it in the mirror... your instinct tells you to deny it... to struggle against it... to hide it and run away crying like a little girl... and curl up in the fetal position weeping pathetically...
One single omniscient cascading recursive metaphorical fractal awareness experiencing an infinite number of possibilities is all there ever was, is and ever shall be.
You and I are illusions... we are masks of amnesia being worn by this one single infinite omniscient awareness...
Think about it... You know it is true... In order for an infinite omniscience to truly be omniscient... this fucked up reality... as well an infinite number of other beautiful realities must exist too.
Thinking is what I am... Thinking is all there was, is, and ever shall be...
All other ideas, such as materialism, are just complex illusory concepts composed purely of thought.
