Man has no Body distinct from his Soul for that called Body is a portion of Soul discerned by the five Senses, the chief inlets of Soul in this age.

Man has no Body distinct from his Soul for that called Body

Summary

This quote by William Blake suggests that there is no clear separation between the physical body and the soul. The body is seen as merely a manifestation or expression of the soul, which is the true essence of a human being. Blake argues that our perception of the body is reliant on the five senses, which are considered as the main channels through which the soul interacts with the world in the present era. In essence, this quote emphasizes the interconnectedness and inseparability of the body and soul.

If therefore my work is negative, irreligious, atheistic, let it be remembered that atheism -- at least in the sense of this work -- is the secret of religion itself; that religion itself, not indeed on the surface, but fundamentally, not in intention or according to its own supposition, but in its heart, in its essence, believes in nothing else than the truth and divinity of human nature.

If we're destroying our trees and destroying our environment

If we're destroying our trees and destroying our environment and hurting animals and hurting one another and all that stuff, there's got to be a very powerful energy to fight that. I think we need more love in the world. We need more kindness, more compassion, more joy, more laughter. I definitely want to contribute to that.
