The great secret of the world -- sorrow is not unhappiness. From Ethel's Book by Frederick William Faber, 1858.
|
* The most profound secrets lie not wholly in knowledge, said the poet. They lurk invisible in that vitalizing spark, intangible, yet as evident as the lightning—the seeker's soul. Solitary digging for facts can reward one with great discoveries, but true secrets are not discovered—they are shared, passed on in confidence from one to another. The genuine seeker listens attentively. No secret can be transcribed, save in code, lest it—by definition—cease to be. This Book of Whispers collects and encodes more than one hundred of humankind's most cherished secrets. To be privy to the topics alone is a supreme achievement, as each contains and nurtures the seed of its hidden truth. As possessor and thereby guardian of this knowledge, may you summon the courage to honor its secrets and to bequeath it to one worthy. |

| [Inexplicable images from generations ago invite us to restore the lost
sense of immediacy. We follow the founder of the Theater of
Spontaneity, Jacob Moreno, who proposed stringing together "now and then
flashes" to unfetter illusion and let imagination run free. The images
we have collected for this series came at a tremendous price, which we explained previously.] |

"Where does discontent come from?" (Nation's Business, 1946)
The longest answer we found said: "Discontent comes from desire for reward for the works done, from selfish ambition, from covetousness, from love of men's praise, from dependence upon earthly prosperity, from absence of religious ideals, from failure of the good of charity in the heart" (New-Church Messenger, 1909)
The shorest answer we found said: "Discontent comes from the imagination" (Thought, from the Learned Societies of Canada, 1961)

Another cheery message from an old yearbook:
"For many the agony is now over and they couldn't be happier; but for others it leaves a certain sense of pain, depression, and fear."
From Elon's 1978 yearbook.
