Of Consciousness, her awful Mate. The Soul cannot be rid -- as easy the secreting her behind the Eyes of God.

Of Consciousness, her awful Mate. The Soul cannot be rid --

Summary

This quote implies that consciousness, with all its complexities and burdens, is an inseparable companion to the human soul. It suggests that one cannot simply escape or hide from consciousness, just as it is impossible to conceal or bury the soul itself. The phrase "the secreting her behind the Eyes of God" highlights the futility of trying to mask or suppress one's consciousness, as it is an innate and unshakeable aspect of our existence that remains forever exposed.

It was funny how the old practices always came around again. It was the rhythm of human enterprise to invent and worship some new approach, to fully reject it a generation later, to realize the need for it again a generation or two after that and then hastily reinvent it as new, usually without its original elegance. Scientists hated to look backward for anything.

It's never been an issue for me - I don't want to go on a diet, I don't want to eat a Caesar salad with no dressing, why would I do that? I ain't got time for this, just be happy and don't be stupid. If I've got a boyfriend and he loves my body then I'm not worried.
