Advancing Psychological Education for All
It was near sunset on a rainy Winter afternoon in Christmas week. The clouds had vanished, dispersed by a sudden wind, and as we entered my mansion the fiery panes of the high windows shone out like lamps through the dusk. The World revealed the powerful hold Satan and demonic powers have on the human … Continue reading
Perfection for Aristotle (as well as for Plato) is realized in degrees, natural, personal, and social; and courage as the affirmation of one’s essential being is more conspicuous in some of these degrees than in others. Since the greatest test of courage is the readiness to make the greatest sacrifice, the sacrifice of one’s life, … Continue reading
Man is torn away from the primary union with nature, which characterizes terrestrial existence. Having at the same time reason and imagination, one is aware of one’s aloneness and separateness; of his powerlessness and lack of enlightenment; of the accidentalness of his birth. If he could not face this state of being for a second, … Continue reading
Most houses declare the activities they shelter; they are the clear expressive cuticle of a life flowing close to the surface; but the haunted Winchester Mansion, know as Llanada Vila, is a mystery that is as impenetrable as death. The tall windows are like blinking eyes, the great door is a shut mouth. Inside there … Continue reading
War, it will be seen, not only accomplishes the necessary destruction, but it accomplishes it in a psychologically acceptable way. In principle it would be quite simple to waste the surplus labour of the World by building temples and pyramids, by digging holes and filling them up again, or even by producing vast quantities of … Continue reading

The phenomena was established as a pattern after the September 11, 2001 attacks on US soil, which spawned many home renovations and renovation television programs. This was in response to … Continue reading
Before consciousness can come, a certain degree of activity in the movement must be reached. This requisite degree is called the “threshold;” but the height of the threshold varies under different circumstances: it may rise of fall. As Sarah L. Winchester was working on her sprawling complex, sighting of an old man, dressed in a … Continue reading
Everyone wants a place where they can be alone occasionally, and when they have such a place, it is only common courtesy in anyone else who knows of it to keep one’s knowledge to oneself. Yielding and mastery are two sides of the same command over life. While we are still able-bodied, we tend to … Continue reading
There is no middle ground in the stark appraisal of suffering. We hope only for recovery and for a return to self-sufficiency. Anything less invokes bitterness. Everyone eats but few kill. Technicians fell the lamb. Eating becomes a ceremony of innocence, tinkle of crystal, rustle of taffeta. Teeth are for beauty: straighten them, make them … Continue reading
In every being that is real there is something external to, and sacred from, the grasp of every other. God’s being is sacred from ours. In 1884, Mrs. Winchester left New Haven, Connecticut, and the graves of her husband and only child, moved to San Jose, California, and began the obsession that was to last … Continue reading
At the center of marriage stands the union of body and mind between the spouses. Because this union’s significance extends beyond the couple themselves, the…
Here is the thing. The Democrats’ real agenda is the one they will not talk about. It is the one they cannot talk about. It…
Some wonder whether humanity can ever recover the original innocence attributed to Adam and Eve — a state of unbroken trust, unmediated experience, and harmony…
