 The
following pages contain editorial material that was written by me which
appeared in my monthly newsletters. This material consists of personal
commentaries and opinions of mine on a variety of subjects related to
the NDE. Within these pages, I can communicate ideas which might
not be entirely appropriate for a website consisting mostly of material
from researchers, scientists, doctors, and NDE experiencers. I am a very
opinionated person, yet very tolerant, with strong views on matters of
life and death for which I think may benefit people. With this in mind,
here are some words of wisdom from some very opinionated people:
Friedrich Nietzsche:
"We should never let ourselves be burnt for our opinions; we are not
that sure of them. But perhaps for this -- that we may have and change
our opinions." Bertrand Russell: "I think
we ought always to entertain our opinions with some measure of doubt. I
shouldn't wish people dogmatically to believe any philosophy, not even
mine." John K. Hart: "Nothing can prevent
you from learning the truth so much as the belief that you already know
it."
Michel de Montaigne: "Nothing is so firmly
believed as that which we least know." Alan Alda
of MASH fame: "Your assumptions are your windows on the world. Scrub
them off every once in a while, or the light won't come in."
Arnold H. Glasgow: "The fewer the facts,
the stronger the opinion."
Lester Markel: "What you see is news, what
you know is background, what you feel is opinion."
Laurence J. Peter
(one a lighter note): "When I want your opinion I'll give it to you."
Madonna: "Everyone is entitled to my opinion.
Timothy Leary: "Man's best friend is his
dogma." Mark Twain: "It is the difference
of opinion that makes horse races." |
