"Matter is not only "frozen" energy but also the "frozen" consciousness of God."   --Paramahansa Yogananda

www.yogananda.com

"To grasp the reality and order of being in its Science, you must begin by reckoning God as the divine Principle of all that really is. Spirit, Life, Truth, Love, combine as one,--and are the Scriptural names for God. All substance, intelligence, wisdom, being, immortality, cause, and effect belong to God. These are His attributes, the eternal manifestations of the infinite divine Principle, Love. No wisdom is wise but His wisdom; no truth is true, no love is lovely, no life is Life but the divine; no good is, but the good God bestows."         

-Mary Baker Eddy 

"Sanity implies having no illusion, no image at all about oneself or about another...when you call yourself a Dutchman, forgive me for saying so, you are not quite balanced. You separate yourself, isolate yourself--as others do when they call themselves Hindus. These Nationalistic, religious divisions, with their armies, with their Priests, indicate a state of mental insanity." -- Jiddu Krishnamurte

"Those who know do not talk. Those who talk do not know."    --Lao Tsu

"A human being is a part of the 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

"I have discovered that everyone has a deep commitment and burning desire to give to others, to assist others, and to make this world be the heaven that it can be.  For some the vision is clear and they are living it step by step.  They have a purpose and a commitment that is greater than themselves."    "We don't have to manipulate to be loved, we just have to be.  Love is effortless."  -- Rev Terry Cole-Whittaker

"Meditation is not effortless; it is very active.  You need will and concentration to do it."  --RG

"How can consciousness explain itself."  --Carl Gustav Jung 

The Soul is Consciousness itself. We are not the body, emotions or mind. Those are our temporary vehicles. We are soul ever connected to Spirit.     --My interpretation of Nature of the Soul

"We all need a new ethic, new laws based on those ethics which punish human beings for encroachment on the lifestyles and the territory of other species with brains comparable to and larger than ours. We need modifications of our laws with respect to individual Whales, Dolphins and Porpoises."    --John Lily

"Be Still and know that I am God." --God from Bible (What Meditation is).

 The moment one definitely commits oneself, then providence moves too. All sorts of things occur to help one that would never otherwise have occurred... unforeseen incidents, meetings, and material assistance which no one could have dreamed would have come their way.   --Goethe 

"Intelligence without honesty produces exploitation; honesty without intelligence lacks perspective and vision; but united, they produce that integrity indispensable to the survival of an empire."

  "Patriotism is idealism--the urge to build beauty, virtue, and integrity into the fabric of our common wealth."

  "The POOR WANT TO BE RICH WITHOUT WORKING, THE RICH WANT TO STAY RICH WITHOUT WORKING, AND THE FEW WHO ARE WORKING WANT TO QUIT."

  "We want someone who can restore prosperity without in any way interfering with our own private methods of exploitation."

  "The first step towards the re-establishment of national integrity is individual honesty."

  "Do not expect to live without working. Do not desire to, but rejoice in the dignity of labor. Do not dream of consuming and not producing. Do not take this from that, until that has no place to lay its head. Put America right with itself by putting yourself right with your neighbor. Do not look for the next political administration to improve the situation." -- Manly P. Hall

"There are no heroes of action only heroes of renunciation & suffering."
--Albert Sweitzer.


"If we could read the secret history of our enemies we would find in each man's life a sorrow and a suffering enough to disarm all hostility. Acceptance is brother hood."  --Longfellow

 "In the past I felt that the Scientific viewpoints of total objectivity, of the noninvolved Scientific observer was the be all and end all for ones life. I am no longer convinced that such a dispassionate noninvolved view of ecology will ever work. A Scientist who fails to assume social responsibility, the feedback from all other members of his species, is not taking the responsibility of being a human beyond a limited self serving role in society. Involvement and participation are absolutely essential for understanding and for survival of Self and of ones own species."  --John Lilly

Energy follows thought; we move toward, but not beyond, what we can imagine. What we assume, expect, or believe, creates and colors our experience. By expanding our deepest beliefs about what is possible, we change our experience of life.  --Dan Millman 

We can find spiritual solutions to problems by living at higher levels -and calling upon faster energies. In my mind, intention is now something much greater than a determined ego, or individual will. It¹s something almost totally opposite... imagine that intention is not something you do, but rather a force that exists in the universe as an invisible field of energy --Dr. Wayne Dyer. 

A substructure underpins the universe that is essentially a recording medium of everything, providing a means for everything to communicate with everything else. People are indivisible from their environment.

Dormant forces, faculties, and talents come alive and you discover yourself to be a greater person by far than you ever dreamed yourself to be. - -Patanjali

SONGS AND MORE QUOTES:

Lord Make Me An Instrument of Thy Peace

...Where there is hatred let me sow Love.

Where there Is Injury, Pardon:

where there is doubt, faith;

where there is despair, hope;

where there is darkness, Light;

where there is sadness, Joy

O Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console;

to be understood, as to understand;

to be loved, as to Love

For it is in the pardoning that we are pardoned;

and it is in the dying that we are born to Eternal Life.

--Saint Francis of Assisi

DESIDERATA

Go Placidly Amid The Noise & Haste & Remember What Peace There May Be In Silence.  As Far As Possible Without surrender be on good terms with all persons.  Speak your truth quietly & clearly; and listen to others, even the dull and ignorant; they too have their story.  

  Avoid loud and aggressive persons, they are vexations to the Spirit.  If you compare yourself to others, you may become vain & bitter; for always there will be greater & lesser persons than yourself.  Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans. 

  Keep interested in your own career, however humble; it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time.  Exercise caution in your business affairs; for the world is full of trickery.  But let this not blind you to what virtue there is; many persons strive for high ideals; and everywhere life is full of heroism.  

  Be yourself, Especially do not feign affection.  Neither be cynical about Love; for it is perennial as the grass.  

  Take kindly the counsel of the years, gracefully surrendering the things of youth.  Nurture strength of Spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune.  But do not distress yourself with imaginings.  Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness.  Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself.  

  You are a child of the Universe, no less than the trees & the Stars; you have a right to be here.  And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the Universe is unfolding as it should.  

  Therefore be at peace with God, whatever you conceive Him to be, and whatever your labors & aspirations, in the noisy confusion of life keep peace with your soul.  *  With all its sham, and drudgery & broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world.  Be careful.  Strive to be happy.                                      ***
