Famous quotes by Henri Bergson:

"In short, intelligence, considered in what seems to be its original feature, is the faculty of manufacturing artificial objects, especially tools to make tools, and of indefinitely urging the manufacture."

"The only cure for vanity is laughter, and the only fault that is laughable is vanity."

"To perceive means to immobilize. We seize, in the act of perception, something which outruns perception itself."

"The present contains nothing more than the past, and what is found in the effect was already in the cause."

"Life does not proceed by the association and addition of elements, but by dissociation and division."

"Homo sapiens, the only creature endowed with reason, is also the only creature to pin its existence on things unreasonable"

"Religion is to mysticism what popularization is to science"

"The eye sees only what the mind is prepared to comprehend."

"To exist is to change, to change is to mature, to mature is to go on creating oneself endlessly."

"Think like a man of action, act like a man of thought."

"Some other faculty than the intellect is necessary for the apprehension of reality."

"I see plainly how external images influence the image that I call my body: they transmit movement to it."

"Wherever anything lives, there is, open somewhere, a register in which time is being inscribed."

"When we make the cerebral state the beginning of an action, and in no sense the condition of a perception, we place the perceived images of things outside the image of our body, and thus replace perception within the things themselves."

"In reality, the past is preserved by itself automatically."

"It seems that laughter needs an echo."

"The major task of the twentieth century will be to explore the unconscious, to investigate the subsoil of the mind."

"You will obtain a vision of matter that is perhaps fatiguing for your imagination, but pure and stripped of what the requirements of life make you add to it in external perception."

"In laughter we always find an unavowed intention to humiliate and consequently to correct our neighbour."

"We regard intelligence as man's main characteristic and we know that there is no superiority which intelligence cannot confer on us, no inferiority for which it cannot compensate."

The Noosphere & new knowledge coming in via the sun - Stephanie South

Duration: 18:19
Updated: 21 Sep 2014

The Noosphere - literally, “mind-sphere” or Earth’s mental sheathe - is a word and concept jointly coined by Édouard Le Roy, French philosopher and student of Henri Bergson, Jesuit paleontologist Pierre Teilhard de Chardin, and Russian geochemist, Vladimir Vernadsky, in Paris, 1926. At the root of the primary definition of noosphere is a dual perception: that life on Earth is a unity constituting a whole system known as the biosphere; and that the mind or consciousness of life - the Earth’s thinking layer - constitutes a unity that is discontinuous but coextensive with the entire system of life on Earth, inclusive of its inorganic support systems. A third critical premise arising from the first two is that the noosphere defines the inevitable next stage of terrestrial evolution, which will subsume and transform the biosphere. How this evolutionary shift might occur is at the crux of the experiment, Noosphere II. Though little else is known concerning Édouard Le Roy, our ideas about the noosphere and the transition from the biosphere to the noosphere are largely derived from the perceptions of Teilhard de Chardin and Vernadsky, along with the work of American Physicist, Oliver Reiser. We will summarize these viewpoints below. There will come a time when the birds will fall from the trees, the rivers will be poisoned and the wolves will die in the forests. But then the warriors of the rainbow will appear and save the world. - Prophecy of the Cree Indians More information on Stephanie South http://www.lawoftime.org/ To watch more of my video interviews, visit http://www.JuicyLivingTour.com and http://www.LilouMace.com Lilou's Juicy Living Tour and webTV is an independent media.

So even if you do not fall into the trap of writing history as if that which actually happened somehow had to happen – what Henri Bergson called “the illusions of retrospective determinism” – it is almost impossible to recreate the emotional intensity of the moment of liberation ... ....

Our Policy in Preventing Suicide Should Be "If In Doubt, Check It Out"

Huffington Post

13 Aug 2014

And it scares us ... But it doesn't have to be that way ... But as philosopher Henri Bergson said, "The eye only sees what the mind is prepared to comprehend," which poetically points to the fact that we do not see what we are not looking for, what we are not prepared to deal with or what we don't want to know. And that lack of seeing interferes in our ability to acknowledge what is going on right in front of us, and get involved ... ....

THE PLOTINUS PRINCIPLE?

Huffington Post

29 Jul 2014

It's just possible that I have found a source of insight comparable to that from Vilfredo Pareto, the nineteenth-century economist who inspired the 80/20 principle ... He eventually founded a highly regarded school of philosophy in Rome, attracted a number of highly intelligent followers ...

Bergson, Henri Filmography

Famous quotes by Henri Bergson:

"In short, intelligence, considered in what seems to be its original feature, is the faculty of manufacturing artificial objects, especially tools to make tools, and of indefinitely urging the manufacture."

"The only cure for vanity is laughter, and the only fault that is laughable is vanity."

"To perceive means to immobilize. We seize, in the act of perception, something which outruns perception itself."

"The present contains nothing more than the past, and what is found in the effect was already in the cause."

"Life does not proceed by the association and addition of elements, but by dissociation and division."

"Homo sapiens, the only creature endowed with reason, is also the only creature to pin its existence on things unreasonable"

"Religion is to mysticism what popularization is to science"

"The eye sees only what the mind is prepared to comprehend."

"To exist is to change, to change is to mature, to mature is to go on creating oneself endlessly."

"Think like a man of action, act like a man of thought."

"Some other faculty than the intellect is necessary for the apprehension of reality."

"I see plainly how external images influence the image that I call my body: they transmit movement to it."

"Wherever anything lives, there is, open somewhere, a register in which time is being inscribed."

"When we make the cerebral state the beginning of an action, and in no sense the condition of a perception, we place the perceived images of things outside the image of our body, and thus replace perception within the things themselves."

"In reality, the past is preserved by itself automatically."

"It seems that laughter needs an echo."

"The major task of the twentieth century will be to explore the unconscious, to investigate the subsoil of the mind."

"You will obtain a vision of matter that is perhaps fatiguing for your imagination, but pure and stripped of what the requirements of life make you add to it in external perception."

"In laughter we always find an unavowed intention to humiliate and consequently to correct our neighbour."

"We regard intelligence as man's main characteristic and we know that there is no superiority which intelligence cannot confer on us, no inferiority for which it cannot compensate."
