Bright Light Bright Light (Rod Thomas) Quotes

I don’t think that I am the most informed or that I’ve earned my place to be a political spokes-voice. So I try to keep that type of politic out of my songwriting and I do it more in my personal life. I do a lot of fundraising, I do a lot of awareness raising through charity fundraising and lots of stuff that I do via eBay or my website, and I try to donate to causes that are fighting Trump’s racist system or the awful effects that Brexit is going to have.

• But let there be no misunderstanding: it is not that a real man, the object of knowledge, philosophical reflection or technological intervention, has been substituted for the soul, the illusion of theologians. The man described for us, whom we are invited to free, is already in himself the effect of a subjection more profound than himself. A 'soul' inhabits him and brings him to existence, which is itself a factor in the mastery that power exercises over the body. The soul is the effect and instrument of a political anatomy; the soul is the prison of the body.
