As Is The Feeling,
So Is The Result.
Does relevance mean desirability on the right gigs and cocktail circuits?
A culture needs only a handful of intellectuals, culture leaders, and at any given time has only a handful.
This murmuration of individuals self-identifying as intellectuals, culture leaders, cannot be intellectuals, culture leaders, because they are a murmuration. Intellectuals operate alone, often as recluses. And they pay their own way. They need neither gigs nor cocktail circuits to be relevant.
Lawrence W. Reed: Paul Johnson on Why We Should “Beware Intellectuals”Paul Johnson on Why We Should “Beware Intellectuals”
If you repeat ‘God, God’ but receive anger and lust, hate and envy into your heart, you cannot rise into Divinity, you will only slide into diabolism. When you are eager to place offerings before the Lord, instead of transitory materials, let your offering be Love. Love is the only comprehensive code of conduct. Love is no merchandise; do not bargain about its cost. Let it flow clear from the heart, as a stream of Truth, a river of wisdom. Let it not emanate from the head, nor from the tongue. Let it emerge, full and free, from the heart. This is the highest duty of each one of you, the noblest Godliness. Start the day with Love. Live the day with Love. Fill the day with Love. Spend the day with Love. End the day with Love. This is the way to God.
