Walter Russell Quotes

"Mediocrity is self-inflicted and genius is self-bestowed."

"When our knowing exceeds our sensing, we will no longer be deceived by the illusions of our senses."

- Walter Russell

When does knowing exceed our sensing...

“Mediocrity is self-inflicted and genius is self-bestowed.”

“When our knowing exceeds our sensing, we will no longer be deceived by the illusions of our senses.” - Walter Russell

When we 'believe' nothing, we will no longer be 'deceived' by anything. 'Knowing' and 'sensing' are so interrelated and nebulously tied to emotion, thought, feeling, egoic identification, 'belief', psychological processes, etc... as to be meaningless in this context.

Remember this - never for a moment forget it - that Mind controls motion and desire of Mind furnishes the power to motivate motion. The troubles of man arise from the fact that matter and motion control him. His inability to recognize the fact that the sensations caused by the motion of matter will dominate him and lead him toward a selfish, greedy life of seeking unreal possessions whereas a mental existence will dominate those sensations to his everlasting glory.

That is the way it always comes - suddenly - for all inspired conceptions are timeless. Knowledge is a quality of the undivided Mind universe in which there is not time. Thoughts of Mind, however, take time for thoughts are divided waves and waves are synchronized with the Universal heartbeat which creates the idea of time.

Science Has Little Knowledge of Cause

While learning the HOW, we have never learned the WHY or WHAT. That is why science today has so little knowledge of CAUSE. It produces effects but cannot tell the WHY of those effects.
The greatest living scientists do not know what electricity is; nor can they define gravitation, magnetism, light, life, energy, nor the construction of matter. Their theories in these respects are but wild guesses which are so often changed that scientific textbooks become obsolete in a few years. For that reason the world of today is well informed with observed effects and skills in the use of materials, but has practically no knowledge.
Effects of motion cannot be known because they are transient, changing, evanescent things. They can but be comprehended. Knowledge lies in CAUSE, and until we know cause in the why of things, we have no knowledge.
