Apparitions

Random quote of the day:

“Apparitions…compel us to ask ourselves what we mean by reality, a very old and knotty philosophical problem. In particular, they ask us to decide whether our encounters with apparitions are subjective or objective—that is, whether a UFO, for example, is somehow a product of our minds or whether it actually exists out there in the world. If it is objectively real, then we have to decide further whether it is physically real or only apparently so; whether, that is, it is material or immaterial (though visible).”

—Patrick Harpur, Daimonic Reality

Random quote of the day:

“I have neither the desire nor the capacity to stand outside myself and observe my fate in a truly objective way. I would commit the familiar autobiographical mistake either of weaving an illusion about how it ought to have been, or of writing an apologia pro vita sua. In the end, man is an event which cannot judge itself, but, for better or worse, is left to the judgment of others.”

—Carl Jung, Memories, Dreams, Reflections, tr. Clara and Richard Winston

Random quote of the day:

“The artist is the only one who knows that the world is a subjective creation, that there is a choice to be made, a selection of elements.”
