"I have come to the frightening conclusion that I am the decisive element. It is my personal approach that creates the climate. It is my daily mood that makes the weather. I possess tremendous power to make life miserable or joyous. I can be a tool of torture or an instrument of inspiration, I can humiliate or humor, hurt or heal. In all situations, it is my response that decides whether a crisis is escalated or de-escalated, and a person is humanized or de-humanized. If we treat people as they are, we make them worse. If we treat people as they ought to be, we help them become what they are capable of becoming."

~Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe

"Through his evolving awareness, and his awareness of that awareness, he can merge with the miraculous - to which we can attach what better name than "God"? And in this merging, as long sensed by intuition but still only vaguely perceived by rationality, experience may travel without need for accompanying life. Will we then find life to be only a stage, though an essential one, in a cosmic evolution of which our evolving awareness is beginning to become aware? Will we discover that only without spaceships can we reach the galaxies; that only without cyclotrons can we know the interior of atoms? To venture beyond the fantastic accomplishments of this physically fantastic age, sensory perception must combine with the extrasensory, and I suspect the two will prove to be different faces of each other. I believe it is through sensing and thinking about such concepts that great adventures of the future will be found."

A more base, accessible introduction

“The higher we soar in contemplation, the more limited become our expressions of that which is purely intelligible; even as now, when plunging into the Darkness which is above the intellect, we pass not merely into brevity of speech, but even into absolute silence, of thoughts as well as of words... and, according to the degree of transcendence, so our speech is restrained until, the entire ascent being accomplished, we become wholly voiceless, inasmuch as we are absorbed in Him who is totally ineffable.”

~Dionysius the Areopagite

"By habitually thinking of the presence of God, we succeed in praying twenty-four hours a day. The continual remembrance of the presence of God engenders in the soul a divine state."

+St. Paul of the Cross

“Anyone wishing to conquer a people could do it by using this system: breaking its ties with heaven and land, introducing fratricidal quarrels and fights, promoting immorality and licentiousness, by material ruin, physical poisoning, drunkenness. All these destroy a nation more than being blasted by thousands of cannon or bombed by thousands of airplanes.”

~Corneliu Zelea Codreanu

"There is a metaphysical difference between natural kinds and artifacts. A natural kind has existence for-itself; that is, it has a central organization, i.e., a suppositum, and exists in the Divine Intellect. An artifact does not exist for-itself, since its unifying principle is created by a human mind. It has no divine essence,

The conclusion is that robots, barring some machine-human hybrid, will never have an interiority. Nevertheless, people can become attached to the appearance, not the reality, of a robot, for reasons given above. Proof of this are movies like AI or ET, in which viewers get emotionally involved with images on a screen. These movies are tests to determine the extent to which people can be emotionally manipulated."
