Paul Brunton Philosophic Foundation homepage > Notebooks of Paul Brunton



An understanding based on logic alone, on the faculty of the intellect alone, may produce seemingly solid and sound ideas, but with time it may also produce counter-ideas which effectively oppose the earlier ones. For as it itself changes with the years and with the body, the ego may shift its standpoint, may accept what it previously rejected and reject what it previously accepted. If stability is to be found, it must be found at a deeper level and that is the changeless Overself.
