First written in 1757, this treatise on aesthetics provides a distinct transition from Neoclassicism to Romanticism. This is apparent in Burke's ultimate preference for the Sublime over the Beautiful, for he defined the latter as that which is well-formed and aesthetically pleasing and the former as that which has the power to compel or destroy mankind. Within this text, Burke also posits that the origin of these ideas comes by way of their causal...

In dark days, men need a clear faith and a well-grounded hope; and as the outcome of these, the calm courage which takes no account of hardships by the way. The times through which we are passing have afforded to many of us a confirmation of our faith. We see that the things we had thought evil are really evil, and we know more definitely than we ever did before the directions in which men must move if a better world is to arise on the ruins of the...

Most people think of "the mind" as something that "the brain does"... as merely a term basically, for describing the brain's cognitive-activity. However, the mind is really a thing in and of itself. It is literally an energy. In fact, it is a body of energy. A body of energy that is literally, "inhabiting" the organism. The mind is actually composed of three separate and unique "fields of energy." Two of these are our mind's "mortal energies," known...

Excerpt: "On my Fiftieth Birthday (Sunday, September 22, 1918), after a good day's work, I start, in the afternoon, to spend the few hours before our evening meal in writing down some ideas that may help others (besides myself, who need them as much as anyone, since I am beginning my second half-century), to indulge less in that habit of fear, worry, resentment, and hurry, which must be regarded as a form of suicide, slow indeed, but working in a...
