George Eliot Quote

.....If we had a keen vision of all ordinary life, it would be like hearing the grass grow or the squirrel's heart beat, and we should die of the roar which lies on the other side of silence. As it is the quickest of us walk about well-wadded with stupidity. ~~ George Eliot

George Eliot, is indeed quite interesting. You can read some about her here in this Wikipedia entry.

A list of her novels is here.


The Soul and How I am seeing it.
~~George Eliot

It seems strange that man has been so slow to
accept the soul as the very essence of man.
The body is as a remote controlled car which
the soul directs with cameras and other sensors
mounted on it, allowing the controller to perceive
from the cars perspective. The problem becomes
that the controller has forgotten that he has
another body and that body needs to be cared for.
The car has some programmed functions but is totally
dependent on the soul.

When the car crashes or the batteries die, the soul
just keeps working the controls with no results.
He needs a tap on the shoulder to remind him of
his other body. When the car rests (charges) he goes
about in what he thinks are dreams, then returns
forgetting all. The soul has much greater abilities
than the car and that eternal life.
