self-and-identity

What I lack above all things is character, will, individuality. My outward life the reverse of my true and deepest aspiration.
JOURN-RC-139
Analysis is dangerous if it overrules the synthetic faculty; reflection is to be feared if it destroys our power of intuition.
JOURN-RC-104

faith-and-doubt

Religion cannot be replaced by philosophy. The redemption of the intelligence is not the redemption of the heart.
JOURN-RC-042
A church lives by what is positive; people confound the right of the individual to be free with the duty of the institution to be something.
JOURN-RC-225

mortality

Is death the passage from the successive to the simultaneous—from time to eternity? Shall we then understand the unity of our mysterious existence?
JOURN-RC-287
This premature decay! The central consciousness bears every successive mutilation. Death reduces us to the mathematical point.
