Needham quotes a good story about the diffence between mystical and scientific approaches to knowledge. II:510 Needham

To me [the Roman Catholic Church] embodies the greatest and most ignored evil on the face of the planet. I arrive at this conclusion by extrapolating its effect on me.

Unrecognized evil is a danger to survival.

The altrnative to the rule of law is the private judgement of the indiviual with the power to decide. The rule of law created dependencies (= consistencies) between the judges.

[page 120]

We should avoid all positive (arbitrry) law as a human fiction and most likely to contradict the law of nature, leading to avoidable conflict. The Roman Catholic Church is a major source of avoidable conflict, death and disease.

Sacks, Oliver, Migraine: Understanding a Common Disorder, University of California Press 1985 Amazon book description: 'The many manifestations of migraine can vary dramatically from one patient to another, even within the same patient at different times. Among the most compelling and perplexing of these symptoms are the strange visual hallucinations and distortions of space, time, and body image which migraineurs sometimes experience. Portrayals of these uncanny states have found their way into many works of art, from the heavenly visions of Hildegard von Bingen to Alice in Wonderland. Dr. Oliver Sacks argues that migraine cannot be understood simply as an illness, but must be viewed as a complex condition with a unique role to play in each individual's life.'
