Description
Listen to episode 1144 of the Inspirational Living podcast: The Philosophy of Long Life. Edited and adapted from The Philosophy of Long Life by Jean Finot.
Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: The world is led, not only by ideas, but above all by words. It is sometimes only necessary to give a thing a pleasant or a repulsive name, and our mind will be at once penetrated with the significance thus lent to it. The word becomes idea, thought, and conviction — the covering of the object thus identifying itself with the object itself.
If the vanishing of our body (instead of being called death or disappearance) had been conceived as a resurrection, a sort of return to the immortality of nature, it would rather evoke a delicious shiver at the mystery of the afterlife, instead of the horrors of nothingness.
