The debt we owe 
to the play of imagination 
is incalculable.

Meaning is what essence becomes 
when it is divorced from the object of reference 
and wedded to the word.

Skeptical scrutiny is the means, 
in both science and religion, 
by which deep thoughts can be winnowed from deep nonsense.

Psychologically experienced consciousness is therefore no longer pure consciousness; 
construed objectively in this way, 
consciousness itself becomes something transcendent, 
becomes an event in that spatial world which appears, 
by virtue of consciousness, 
to be transcendent.

Every word or concept,

has only a limited range of applicability.

The social, as opposed to the mystical function of a mythology, 
is not to open the mind, but to enclose it: 
to bind a local people together in mutual support 
by offering images that awaken the heart 
to recognitions of commonality, 
without allowing these to escape the monadic compound.

The life of a mythology derives from 
the vitality of is symbols as metaphors 
delivering, not simply the idea, 
but a sense of actual participation 
in such a realisation of transcendence, infinity and abundance.

The best lack all conviction, 
while the worst
are full of passionate intensity

Individuation is but an appearance in a field of space and time,
these being the conditioning forms
through which my cognitive faculties
apprehend their objects.
They exist, that is to say,
only in my mental representation.
My own true inner being 
actually exists
in every living creature
as truly and immediately
as known to my consciousness
only in myself.

The progress of science is strewn, 
like an ancient desert trail, 
with the bleached skeleton of discarded theories 
which once seemed to possess eternal life.
