"Spartan law demanded that the young men stand naked in public for inspection every ten days.
They were commended if their bodies were solid, strong, and well honed by exercise. But if any were soft or had gained fat through sluggishness, they were beaten."

Unless one rises above fear and suffering one cannot attain what is called the 'higher self' and live the life one was meant to live.
Suffering is a human condition experienced by those lost in worldly duality. Opening one's spiritual eye means breaking the shackles of fear-based conditioning.

This is untrue, the men who founded the Congress for Cultural Freedom were not 'groups who funded the Nazis'; they were primarily Jewish Psychological Warfare Officers who ran DeNazification programs in post-war Germany, their names were Michael Josselson…
