More quotes from him here.
His birthday today. January 11, 1842 (His ghost must have prompted to indulge in blog seance.)
His days at Harvard
“God has two families of children on this earth, the once born and the twice born (today born again).” The former are born happy and view God as the animating spirit of a beautiful harmonious world. Examples for James were Ralph Waldo Emerson and Walt Whitman. The twice born James views as sick souls. These sick souls may find community, solace, and comfort in religion but they remain sick and should never be entrusted with power.
