Pascal's Wager (2006)
“There are poet-scientists and philosopher-scientists and even a few mystics.
—SIR PETER BRIAN MEDAWAR (1915–1987) Did you know that secret? The awful thing is that beauty is mysterious as well as terrible. God and devil are fighting there, and the battlefield is the heart of man.
—FYODOR MIKHAYLOVICH DOSTOYEVSKY The mystic too full of God to speak intelligibly to the world.
—ARTHUR SYMONS (1865–1945) Mystical experiences are what they are. Everyone has them, but most people turn them aside as m...oments of beauty, or as strange upwellings of happiness that comes from nowhere. Commonplace mystical experiences are too lukewarm to change lives. All too often, we turn them into psychology, into explosions of neurons in the brain, or into the working out of unfinished childhood conflicts—a lump of undigested meat, a bit of underdone potato. But mystical experiences are what they are, and they cannot be so easily parsed away. A few people have mystical experiences powerful enough to change lives.MoreLess
