a hairy caterpillar quotes

does thought give security? thought has its place, but
when thought assumes it can bring about psychological security
then it is living in illusion. thought wanting ultimate security
has created a thing called god, and humanity clings to that idea.
thought can create every kind of romantic illusion.  
and when the mind, psychologically, seeks security 
in the dogma of the church, or some other dogmatic assertion,
or whatever it is, it is seeking security in the structure of thought.
thought is the response of experience and knowledge, stored up
in the brain as memory; that response is therefore always
moving from the past.  
now, is there
security in the past?
