Quote by John Milton

He that has light within his own cleer brestMay sit ith center, and enjoy bright day,But he that hides a dark soul, and foul thoughtsBenighted walks under the mid-day Sun;Himself is his own dungeon.

He that has light within his own cleer brestMay sit ith cent

Summary

This quote emphasizes the importance of having inner enlightenment and purity of thoughts. It suggests that an individual who possesses a clear and enlightened consciousness can experience happiness and contentment wherever they are. On the other hand, one who conceals dark thoughts and carries impure intentions will always be in a state of darkness, even amidst the brightest circumstances. Such an individual becomes a prisoner of their own self, confined by their own negativity and moral turpitude. Ultimately, the quote encourages cultivating inner goodness to truly live a joyful and fulfilling life.

Thought is generally considered to be a sober and weighty business. But here it is being suggested that creative play is an essential element in forming new hypotheses and ideas. Indeed, thought which tries to avoid play is in fact playing false with itself. Play, it appears, is the very essence of thought.This notion of falseness that can creep into play of thought is shown in the etymology of the words illusion, delusion, and collusion, all of which have as their Latin root ludere, to play. So illusion implies playing false with perception; delusion, playing false with thought; collusion, playing false together in order to support each other's illusions and delusions. When thought plays false, the thinker may occasionally recognize this fact, and express it in the above words.co-authored with F. David Peat
