Philosophy Quote by Felix Alba-Juez — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“It is curious that the human mind could blindly accept an infinite speed but had reservations to accept a finite one, simply because it was too large!”

“Truth is not as pompous and romantic as myth ... but it has the immeasurable value of being the Truth.”

“Teaching the layperson (divulgare) is not distorting (tergiversare) the subject, but educating the public; and it is our duty as scientists to educate without distorting the essence of the scientific knowledge attained by humanity. The future of our society depends upon this premise.”

“Subjectivity is strange to Science, while Relativity is an objective part of it.”

“Without causality in the world, there is no point in educating people, or making any moral or political appeal.”

“If Relativity Theory kills our deepest convictions, why not start by finding out why we believed in them for millennia?”

“Once upon a time there was a young prince who believed in all things but three. He did not believe in princesses, he did not believe in islands, he did not believe in God. His father, the king, told him that such things did not exist. As there were no princesses or islands in his father's domains, and no sign of God, the young prince believed his father.”

“I never found beauty in longing for the impossible and never found the possible to be beyond my reach.”

“Should philosophy guide experiments, or should experiments guide philosophy?”

“People do not know how what is at variance agrees with itself. It is an attunement of opposite tensions, like that of the bow and the lyre.”

“On the Samael Qlipha, the magician makes a pact with the dark forces and realizes the invitation of Friedrich Neitzsche to re-evaluate old values. Insanity becomes wisdom; death becomes life. Samael is the 'Poison of God.' Here is where illusions are poisoned, and all categories and conceptions are deconstructed until nothing is left. The dark side of the astral plane could be compared to a chalice filled with poison or an intoxicating fluid. While Gamaliel is the chalice, Samael is the elixir and the following lower Qlipha, A'arab Zaraq, is where the magician experiences the effect.”
