““The lower, and purely intellectual, is nearest to the principle of Desire, and is thus distinguished from its other side which has affinity for the spiritual principles above. If the Thinker becomes wholly intellectual, the entire nature begins to tend downward—for intellect alone is cold, heartless, selfish.” – W. Q. Judge: “The Ocean of Theosophy”
We were discussing things like love and compassion along with consciousness in another thread. Here is a view from one extreme point on the spectrum…that of Ayn Rand. Since she has been mentioned now and then here, for those of you who have little exposure to her, her books and/or philosophy, here is a short video interview that may provide a fairly rapid and direct access to what is called objectivism. While the video is on a Theosophy site, read the other stuff only if you are attracted, if not, that is fine too…scroll down to the 4th picture and click on it for the video to start. “Objectivism vs Altruism” http://theosophywatch.com/2009/09/07/the-caring-spirit/ --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups ""Minds Eye"" group.
