". Мы — машины. Мы полностью управляемы внешними обстоятельствами. Все наши действия следуют в направлении меньшего сопротивления давлению внешних обстоятельств.
Проведите опыт: сможете ли вы управлять своими эмоциями? Нет. Вы можете пытаться уничтожить эмоцию или одну эмоцию заменить другой. Но вы не в состоянии их контролировать. Именно они контролируют вас.
. Я не говорю: никто не может контролировать свои действия. Я говорю: вы не можете, потому что вы разделены. В вас существуют две части: одна — сильная, другая — слабая. Если ваша сила возрастает, то ваша слабость также будет возрастать и станет негативной силой, если вы только не научились её останавливать.
Если бы мы научились контролировать свои действия — все было бы совершенно иначе. Когда будет достигнут некий уровень существа, мы реально сможем контролировать каждую часть самих себя. Но сегодня мы таковы, что даже не можем сделать того, что решили".
„An unexpected vision appeared to me. A circle not unlike a wreath woven from rainbow and lightnings, whirled from heaven to earth with a stupendous, velocity, blinding me by its brilliance.“
„I Saw the Man.
His figure reached from earth to heaven and was clad in a purple mantle.“
„Пытайтесь находить правильное отношение, правильную точку зрения и сделать её постоянной. Если вы создаёте правильное мышление, это отнимает всю силу у отрицательных эмоций.“
„To hope to find in the world of causes anything logical from our standpoint is just as useless as to think that the world of things can exist in accordance with the laws of a world of shadows or stereometry according to the laws of planimetry.“
— P. D. Ouspensky, книга Tertium Organum
Источник: Tertium Organum (1912; 1922), Ch. XXI
Контексте: The logical formula: A is both A and Not-A, corresponds to the mathematical formula: A magnitude can be greater or less than itself.
The absurdity of both these propositions shows that they cannot refer to our world. Of course absurdity, as such, is indeed not an index of the attributes of noumena, but the attributes of noumena will certainly be expressed in what are absurdities to us. To hope to find in the world of causes anything logical from our standpoint is just as useless as to think that the world of things can exist in accordance with the laws of a world of shadows or stereometry according to the laws of planimetry.
To master the fundamental principles of higher logic means to master the fundamentals of the understanding of a space of higher dimensions, or of the world of the wondrous.
In order to approach to a clear understanding of the relations of the multi-dimensional world, we must free ourselves from all the "idols" of our world, as Bacon calls them, i. e., from all obstacles to correct receptivity and reasoning. Then we shall have taken the most important step toward an inner affinity with the world of the wondrous.
„The axioms which Tertium Organum embraces cannot be formulated in our language. If we attempt to formulate them in spite of this, they will produce the impression of absurdities. Taking the axioms of Aristotle as a model, we may express the principal axiom of the new logic in our poor earthly language in the following manner:
A is both A and Not-A.
or
Everything is both A and Not-A.
or,
Everything is All.
But these axioms are in effect absolutely impossible. They are not the axioms of higher logic, they are merely attempts to express the axioms of this logic in concepts. In reality the ideas of higher logic are inexpressible in concepts. When we encounter such an inexpressibility it means that we have touched the world of causes.“

„The fool always carries them, although he has long since forgotten what they mean. Nevertheless they belong to him, even though he does not know their use.“
Card 0 : The Fool
The Symbolism of the Tarot (1913)
Контексте: "What has he in the bag?" I inquired, not knowing why I asked. And after a long silence the voice replied: "The four magic symbols, the sceptre, the cup, the sword and the pentacle. The fool always carries them, although he has long since forgotten what they mean. Nevertheless they belong to him, even though he does not know their use. The symbols have not lost their power, they retain it in themselves.
„There exist moments in life, separated by long intervals of time, but linked together by their inner content and by a certain singular sensation peculiar to them.“
A New Model of the Universe (1932)
Контексте: There exist moments in life, separated by long intervals of time, but linked together by their inner content and by a certain singular sensation peculiar to them. Several such moments always recur to my mind together, and I feel then that it is these that have determined the chief trend of my life.
„When I possessed the keys, read the book and understood the symbols, I was permitted to lift the curtain of the Temple and enter.“
„Philosophy is based on speculation, on logic, on thought, on the synthesis of what we know and on the analysis of what we do not know. Philosophy must include within its confines the whole content of science, religion and art.“
Источник: A New Model of the Universe (1932), p. 33
Контексте: Philosophy is based on speculation, on logic, on thought, on the synthesis of what we know and on the analysis of what we do not know. Philosophy must include within its confines the whole content of science, religion and art. But where can such a philosophy be found? All that we know in our times by the name of philosophy is not philosophy, but merely "critical literature" or the expression of personal opinions, mainly with the aim of overthrowing and destroying other personal opinions. Or, which is still worse, philosophy is nothing but self-satisfied dialectic surrounding itself with an impenetrable barrier of terminology unintelligible to the uninitiated and solving for itself all the problems of the universe without any possibility of proving these explanations or making them intelligible to ordinary mortals.
„He knows that it is he who stands before an altar with magic symbols, and reaches from earth to heaven; that he also walks on a dusty road under a scorching sun to a precipice where a crocodile awaits him“

Цитаты Пётр Демьянович Успенский
„The most difficult thing is to know what we do know, and what we do not know.“
— P. D. Ouspensky, книга Tertium Organum
Источник: Tertium Organum (1912; 1922), Ch. I
Контексте: The most difficult thing is to know what we do know, and what we do not know.
Therefore, desiring to know anything, we shall before all else determine WHAT we accept as given, and WHAT as demanding definition and proof; that is, determine WHAT we know already, and WHAT we wish to know.
In relation to the knowledge of the world and of ourselves, the conditions would be ideal could we venture to accept nothing as given, and count all as demanding definition and proof. In other words, it would be best to assume that we know nothing, and make this our point of departure.
But unfortunately such conditions are impossible to create. Knowledge must start from some foundation, something must be recognized as known; otherwise we shall be obliged always to define one unknown by means of another.

„Existing criminology is insufficient to isolate barbarism.“
„And then I saw a man in terrible suffering, hung by one leg, head downward, to a high tree.“
„People who think they can control their negative emotions and manifest them when they want to, simply deceive themselves.“
„I saw myself reflected in him as in a mirror and in his eyes I seemed to look upon myself.
And I heard a voice saying:
—"Look, this is the Great Magician!“
„This limitation of the field of vision of criminology together with the absence of an exact and permanent definition of the concept of crime is one of the chief characteristics of our culture.“
