"God is Nearer to me than I Am to myself." Meister Eckhart “The Force is what gives a Jedi his power. It’s an energy field created by all living things, it surrounds us and penetrates us. It binds the galaxy together." -Obi Wan Kenobi "I must create a system or be enslaved by another mans; I will not reason and compare: my business is to create." -William Blake "You never change things by fighting the existing reality. To change something, build a new model that makes the existing model obsolete." -- R. Buckminster Fuller “To the mind that is still, the whole universe surrenders.” -Lao Tzu "This is love- to fly toward a secret sky, to cause a hundred veils to fall each moment. First to let go of life. Finally, to take a step without feet." --Jelaluddin Rumi "When I let go of What I Am, I Become What I Might Be. - Lao Tzu "What Lies behind us and what lies before us are small matters compared to what lies within us." -Ralph Waldo Emerson "Each today, well-lived, makes yesterday a dream of happiness and each tomorrow a vision of hope. Look, therefore, to this one day, for it and it alone is life." - Sanskrit poem "As far as we can discern, the sole purpose of human existence is to kindle a light in the darkness of mere being." - Carl Jung "The balanced energy is the birthing energy. I used to say that the birthing energy was all feminine -- it’s not. You have to push and you have to be. It’s such a potent example of the dance of the feminine and masculine together, the dance that is the creative energy of life!" -- Joyce Irvine “You got to look at things with the eye in your heart, not with the eye in your head.” -- Lame Deer, Medicine Man of the Oglala people "The dream is the small hidden door in the deepest and most intimate sanctum of the soul, which opens to that primeval cosmic night that was soul long before there was conscious ego and will be soul far beyond what a conscious ego could ever reach. Carl Jung "As long as I am this or that, I am not all things." -- Meister Eckhart "If there is a sin against life, it consists perhaps not so much in despairing of life, as in hoping for another life, and in eluding the implacable grandeur of this life." -- Albert Camus "Consciousness is the basis of all life and the field of all possibilities. Its nature is to expand and unfold its full potential. The impulse to evolve is thus inherent in the very nature of life." -- Maharishi Mahesh Yogi "The greatest discovery of my generation is that a human being can alter his life by altering his attitudes." -- William James “There's no reality except the one contained within us. That's why so many people live an unreal life. They take images outside them for reality and never allow the world within them to assert itself.” - Hesse "It is our basic right to be a happy person, happy family, and eventually a happy world. That should be our goal." -- Dalai Lama "Curiouser and curiouser!" -- Lewis Carroll "Sometimes I've believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast." -- Lewis Carroll "Your theory is crazy, but it's not crazy enough to be true." -- Niels Bohr "It is a bit embarrassing to have been concerned with the human problem all one's life and find at the end that one has no more to offer by way of advice than 'Try to be a little kinder'." - ALDOUS HUXLEY "The future is not some place we are going, but one we are creating. The paths are not to be found, but made. And the activity of making them changes both the maker and their destination." -- John Schaar "People who consider themselves victims of their circumstances will always remain victims unless they develop a greater vision for their lives." -- Stedman Graham myspace graphics - GENERATE YOUR OWN WORLDMAP NOW! "What is here is also there; what is there, is also here. Who sees multiplicity but not the one indivisible Self must wander on and on from death to death." -- Katha Upanishad "As far as we can discern, the sole purpose of human existence is to kindle a light in the darkness of mere being." - Carl Jung "The man who, being really on the Way, falls upon hard times in the world will not, as a consequence, turn to that friend who offers him refuge and comfort and encourages his old self to survive. Rather, he will seek out someone who will faithfully and inexorably help him to risk himself, so that he may endure the suffering and pass courageously through it, thus making of it a ‘raft that leads to the far shore’. Only to the extent that man exposes himself over and over again to annihilation, can that which is indestructible arise within him. In this lies the dignity of daring. Thus, the aim of practice is not to develop an attitude which allows a man to acquire a state of harmony and peace wherein nothing can ever trouble him. On the contrary, practice should teach him to let himself be assaulted, perturbed, moved, insulted, broken and battered— that is to say it should enable him to dare to let go his futile hankering after harmony, surcease from pain, and a comfortable life in order that he may discover, in doing battle with the forces that oppose him, that which awaits him beyond the world of opposites. The first necessity is that we should have the courage to face life, and to encounter all that is most perilous in the world. When this is possible, meditation itself becomes the means by which we accept and welcome the demons which arise from the unconscious —a process very different from the practice of concentration on some object as a protection against such forces." Karlfried Graf Durckheim - From 'The Way of Transformation' |

.. Get Your Own Player! CURRENT MOON moon phases "Everything you see has its roots in the unseen world. The forms may change, yet the essence remains the same. Every wonderful sight will vanish; every sweet word will fade, But do not be disheartened, The source they come from is eternal, growing, Branching out, giving new life and new joy. Why do you weep? The source is within you And this whole world is springing up from it." -- Jelaluddin Rumi "We are what we think. All that we are arises with our thoughts. With our thoughts we make the world. Speak or act with an impure mind And trouble will follow you. As the wheel follows the ox that draws the cart. We are what we think. All that we are arises with our thoughts. With our thoughts we make the world. Speak or act with a pure mind. And happiness will follow you. As your shadow, unshakeable. How can a troubled mind understand the Way? Your worst enemy cannot harm you as much as your own thoughts unguarded. But once mastered, No one can help you as much, Not even your father or your mother... " Buddha "What you think and what you believe is what will come true for you. Your thoughts create your life. It's that simple. And when we can get that, we can make enormous changes." -- Louise Hay “And those who were seen dancing were thought to be insane by those who could not hear the music.” -- Angela Monet "Om Mani Padme Hum". . . . "I have one small drop of knowing in my soul. Let it dissolve in your ocean." - Rumi "We lie in the lap of immense intelligence." -- Ralph Waldo Emerson "Unity Consciousness is a state of enlightenment where we pierce the mask of illusion which creates separation and fragmentation. Behind the appearance of separation is one unified field of wholeness. Here the seer and the scenery are one." - Deepak Chopra "The world is not to be put in order; the world is order, incarnate. It is for us to harmonize with this order." - Henry Miller "Peace is not won by those who fiercely guard their differences, but by those who with open minds and hearts seek out connections." -- Katherine Paterson "More than any other part of the body, our hands reveal our inner state." -- Omraam Mikhavanhov A police spokesman said the strategy of "de-escalation" with anti-globalization groups had come to an end. NYTIMES 6/7/7 "There is no more reason now than there has ever been to believe that we are constrained by mysterious and unknown social laws, not simply decisions made within institutions that are subject to human will - human institutions, which have to face the test of legitimacy, and if they do not meet it, can be replaced by others that are more free and more just, as often in the past." Noam Chomsky-1997 "Humankind has not woven the web of life. We are but one thread within it. Whatever we do to the web, we do to ourselves." -Chief Seattle "Truth is the offspring of silence and unbroken meditation." Isaac Newton "The breeze at dawn has secrets to tell you; Don't go back to sleep. You must ask for what you really want; Don't go back to sleep. People are going back and forth across the doorsill where the two worlds touch. The door is round and open. Don't go back to sleep. -Rumi "Enlightenment is not about imagining figures of light but of making the darkness conscious." -- C.G. Jung "Any real change implies the breakup of the world as one has always known it, the loss of all that gave one identity. – James Baldwin “A human being is part of a whole, called by us the 'Universe', a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings, as something separated from the rest- a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affectionfor a few persons nearest us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circles of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty.” ~Albert Einstein "The middle path is the way to wisdom.” -Rumi "We are what our thoughts have made us; so take care about what you think. Words are secondary. Thoughts live; they travel far." -- Swami Vivekananda .. "It is vitally important that we gain the right understanding of things here, for when we die and cross into the after- life in the shadowy bodies, the things we have believed here become almost fixations, and may haunt us there."

I'd like to meet:And so onward- with a hearty tread, a hearty confidence. However you be, be your own source of experience. Throw off your discontent about your nature. Forgive your self your own Self. You have it in your power to merge everything you've lived through- false-starts, errors, delusions, passions, your love and your hopes into your goal with nothing left over. Nietzsche "The central event of the twentieth century is the overthrow of matter. The powers of the mind are everywhere ascendant over the brute force of things." -- George Gilder "It's not what you look at that matters, its what you see." Henry David Thoreau "The eye sees only what the mind is prepared to comprehend." -- Henri Bergson "The universe is full of magical things patiently waiting for our wits to grow sharper." -- Eden Phillpott "Who looks outside dreams, who looks inside wakes."- Carl Jung “Just as the tumultuous chaos of a thunderstorm brings a nurturing rain that allows life to flourish, so too in human affairs times of advancement are preceded by times of disorder. Success comes to those who can weather the storm.” -- I Ching No. 3 “We're so engaged in doing things to achieve purposes of outer value that we forget that the inner value, the rapture that is associated with being alive, is what it's all about.” -- Joseph Campbell |

Movies:"Words are, of course, the most powerful drug used by mankind." Rudyard Kipling PEACE If there is to be peace in the world, There must be peace in the nations. If there is to be peace in the nations, There must be peace in the cities. If there is to be peace in the cities, There must be peace between neighbors. If there is to be peace between neighbors, There must be peace in the home. If there is to be peace in the home, There must be peace in the heart. -Lao Tzu (570-490 B.C.) "It began in mystery, and it will end in mystery, but what a savage and beautiful country lies in between." -- Diane Ackerman "The spirit down here in man and the spirit up there in the sun, in reality are only one spirit, and there is no other one." -- The Upanishads "To be shaken out of the ruts of ordinary perception, to be shown for a few timeless hours the outer and inner world, not as they appear to an animal obsessed with survival or to a human being obsessed with words and notions, but as they are apprehended, directly and unconditionally, by Mind at Large - this is an experience of inestimable value to everyone and especially to the intellectual." - Aldous Huxley .. .. "Our greatest enemies, the ones we must fight most often, are within." -Thomas Paine- Patriot "There is no reality in the absence of observation." -- The Copenhagen Interpretation of Quantum Mechanics "We don’t laugh because we’re happy, we’re happy because we laugh." -- William James "Rebellion to tyrants is obedience to God." —Thomas Jefferson |

Television:***Free Your Mind. Unplug from Your TV. *** "Any self-actualizing human being is one, who to some extent, breaks-out of his culture." Aldous Huxley ..

What role does silence have in all this noise?" - Federico Fellini "Your only limitations are those you set up in your mind, or permit others to set up for you." -- Og Mandino |

"The value of compassion cannot be overemphasized. Anyone can criticize. It takes a true believer to be compassionate. No greater burden can be borne by an individual than to know no one cares or understands." Arthur Steinback- Clergyman "The idea that men are created free and equal is both true and misleading: men are created different; they lose their social freedom and their individual autonomy in seeking to become like each other." -- David Riesman "Tell it like it is till there's no misunderstanding. When you strip it right back Man feed machine Machine feed man." The Tower that Ate People, Peter Gabriel "Persons and societies do not submit passively to surroundings and events. They make choices as to the places where they live and the activities in which they engage -- choices based on what they want to be, to do and to become. Furthermore, persons and societies often change their goals and ways; they can even retrace their steps and start in a new direction if they believe they are on a wrong course. Thus, whereas animal life is prisoner of biological evolution which is essentially irreversible, human life has the wonderful freedom of social evolution which is rapidly reversible and creative. Wherever human beings are concerned, trend is not destiny." -- Rene Dubos "No matter how frustrated you may feel, there is Always a way out. In every situation that arises, we choose to be powerful or powerless. It may not always feel like it, but it is a choice. And there are consequences for these choices in terms of the results we get, and the subsequent increase or decrease in our power and influence. If we choose powerlessness, it is often because we doubt there is any other option." -- Blaine Lee “Besides learning to see, there is another art to be learned -- not to see what is not.” -- Maria Mitchell "A people that value its privileges above its principles soon lose both." -Dwight D. Eisenhower, 34th President "Turning and turning in the widening gyre The falcon cannot hear the falconer; Things fall apart; the center cannot hold: mere anarchy is loosed upon the world, The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere The ceremony of innocence is drowned; The best lack all conviction, while the worst Are full of passionate intensity." -William Butler Yeats "As we are liberated from our fear, our presence automatically liberates others." -Nelson Mandela "Courage is not the absence of fear, but rather the judgement that something else is more important than fear." Ambrose Redmoon "Difficulty is the excuse history never accepts." -Edward R. Murrow "This race and this country and this life produced me, he said. I shall express myself as I am." -- James Joyce, Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man |

Heroes:"The only way to deal with an unfree world is to become so absolutely free that your very existence is an act of rebellion." Albert Camus "Never use violence of any kind. Never threaten violence in any way. Never even think violent thoughts. Never argue because it attacks another’s opinion. Never criticize because it attacks another’s ego. And your success is guaranteed." -- Mohandas Gandhi "You never need an argument against the use of violence, you need an argument for it." -Noam Chomsky "Peace comes not from the absence of conflict, but from the ability to cope with it." -- Unknown Source All those who know how to be silent and know when to speak-out, All those who aren't afraid to laugh and cry at what they see, All those who ever dare to awaken, Carl Jung, Ibn al Arabi, Rumi, Christ, Buddha, Muhammad, Krishna, Noam Chomsky, Peter Gabriel, Terrance McKenna, Siddhartha, urban shamans, Monty Python, Gandhi, .."2" "In this possibly terminal phase of human existence, democracy and freedom are more than just ideals to be valued - they may be essential to survival." -Noam Chomsky "Never Give up, Never Give Up, Never. Never. Never." Sir Winston Churchill |
