'all things pass' by Loui Jover
* * * *
“I like the idea of these rituals, anger and resentment, like other patterns of emotional response, are not merely personal; they have a generic, habitual quality. For example, if you get into a resentful state of mind, simply by being in that state of mind you tune in by morphic resonance with countless people who have been resentful in the past, including yourself. So you are influenced by your own past resentments and the resentments many other people have felt. You tune in to a generalized sense of resentment. These things are transpersonal in the sense that they possess us. Good habits can also possess us. We’re not usually very original. Most of the feelings, habits, states of mind we get into, many other people have had in the past. When we get into them we’re linking ourselves to all the people who have been in similar states before us.
If we’re in a state of Grace, then we’re part of what, in a christian context, we call the communion of saints.”
