From the very beginning, in a sense, the universe was poised to bring forth life. Our existence here cannot be seen as something alien – and furthermore, our own deep experiences: the realm of the psyche – the soul, the feelings of the inner – this too, is as much a part of the universe as the stars are, or as the gravitational attraction. It is a primary illustration of the underlying order of the universe.    .......          People like us, who believe in physics, know that the distinction between past, present, and future is only a stubbornly persistent illusion.    – Albert Einstein .......          Ideas are the root of creation.    – Ernest Dennett .......          A human being is a part of a whole, called by us "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 affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty.   – Albert Einstein .......          Between living and dreaming there is a third thing. Guess it.    – Antonio Machado .......          The universe is but one of God's thoughts.    – Johann Von Schiller .......          Formation, transformation, the eternal mind's eternal recreation.    – Johann Goethe .......          The innermost self of every man and animal, of plants and crystals, is God.      – C.G. Jung .......          Doubt is the beginning, not the end, of wisdom.    – George Iles .......            The universe is but one vast symbol of God.    – Thomas Carlyle .......         There is no knowledge that is not power.    – Ralph Waldo Emerson .......        If someone brought up in a Christian culture says, "I am God," we conclude at once that he is insane. But in India, when someone declares, "I am God," they say, Congratulations, at last you found out!    – Alan Watts .......        Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, "Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?" Actually, who are we not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small doesn't serve the world. There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It is not just in some of us. It's in everyone, and, as we let our light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.   – Nelson Mandela .......       A young man asked Buddha –"What are you? Are you a god?" "No," replied Buddha. "Well, are you a prophet?" he further queries. "No," Buddha says. " Well, what are you?" he pleads. " I am awake." Buddha replies.    .......      Place is just another state of being, and all states can, if the means are found, speak with the other states. Man with space, man with other minds, it has nothing to do with technologies. It is about the invisibility of the world. Where science becomes magic, or logic nonsense, moving between realities like a dreaming fog. It is all very close, as are all spaces at all times, parts of the same landscape of the mind. Meaning, prophecy, and fantasy – the past, the future, and the dreaming moment between – are all one country, living one immortal moment. To know that is wisdom. To use it is the Art.    –The Great and Secret Show .......       I believe that we are at the most critical place and time in human history. Indeed, these are the times and we are the people who must act. If not now, then when? If not you, who? What we do makes a profound difference.   – Jean Houston .......       The course of nature is the art of God.    – Thomas Young
