Sacred Space: State Vs Individual

Governments want efficient technicians, not human beings, because human beings become dangerous to governments – and to organised religions as well. That is why governments and religious organisations seek to control education.

J Krishnamurti

Every true man is a cause, a country, and an age; requires infinite spaces and numbers and time fully to accomplish his design…Let a man then know his worth, and keep things under his feet.

Ralph W Emerson 


Government exists to protect us from each other. Where government has gone beyond its limits is in deciding to protect us from ourselves.


Ronald Reagan


The cult of the individual is killing us. I think Twitter signals the death of western civilisation, but people have been saying that since Demosthenes.

Kate Atkinson


Flowers don't open to the clock

but to the sunshine spontaneous;

for modern humans that manner

of instinct is now extraneous.

Terri Guillemets
