Quotes 151-175

Existence Equals Consciousness

I regard consciousness as fundamental.
I regard matter as derivative from consciousness.
We cannot get behind consciousness.
Everything we regard as existing, postulates consciousness.

Max Planck, “Father of Quantum Physics”

What Is Real

Everything we call real is made of things that cannot be regarded as real.

Neils Bohr

The Engine of the World

Every life is a wonderful story worthy of being told.
Every life is a work of art,
And if it does not seem so, perhaps it is only necessary to illuminate the room that contains it.
The secret is never to lose faith,
To have confidence in God’s plan for us,
Revealed in the signs with which He shows us the way.
If you learn to listen, you will find that each life speaks to us of love.
Because love is the key to everything,
The engine of the world.
Love is the secret energy behind every note I sing.
And never forget there is no such thing as happenstance.
That’s an illusion lawless and arrogant men invented
So that they could sacrifice the truth of our world to the laws of reason.

Andrea Bocelli

Living the Impossible

Sometimes that is all it takes: One person doing the seemingly impossible in the presence of others. In witnessing the limits broken, they can then hold the new possibility in their minds, because they’ve personally experienced it.

Gregg Braden

Love Is

Life is love and love is life
The me and the mine may be small,
Or may explode and embrace the universe,
But love remains.

Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj

The Painter's Perspective

The aura given out by a person or object is as much as part of them as their flesh. The effect that they make in space is as bound up with them as might be their color or smell...Therefore the painter must be as concerned with the air surrounding his subject as with the subject itself.

Lucian Freud

The Dance of Atoms

Every time we wrap ourselves around each other, our spiritual atoms intermingle in a dance of effervescent joy!

Sri Gawn Tu Fahr

The Look of Tragedy

If we climb high enough, we will reach a height from which tragedy ceases to look tragic.

Irvin D. Yalom

God Consciousness In Physical Reality

God sleeps in the minerals, awakens in plants, walks in animals, and thinks in man.

Arthur Young

Through Your Awakening

Through your awakening, you awaken others.

Solara An-Ra

During Our Short Visit

Strange is our situation here upon Earth. Each of us comes for a short visit, not knowing why, yet sometimes seeming to a divine purpose. From the standpoint of daily life, however, there is one thing we do know: That we are here for the sake of others...for the countless unknown souls with whose fate we are connected by a bond of sympathy. Many times a day, I realize how much my outer and inner life is built upon the labors of people, both living and dead, and how earnestly I must exert myself in order to give in return as much as I have received.

Albert Einstein

Your Message, Your Sign, Your Omen

What is happening in your world is your message, your sign, your omen...Learn to read what is in front of you. All you seek to “know” (the answers) are in the way you live, love, and respond to life.

Release the Struggle

What if we stopped believing that Life was hard, that we have to struggle to achieve anything worthwhile? What if instead, we embraced that Life flows when we allow, when we drop all resistance, when we cease judgment? What if it were that easy?

Sue Krebs

To Make A Path

As a single footstep will not make a path on the earth, so a single thought will not make a pathway in the mind. To make a deep physical path, we must think over and over the kind of thoughts we wish to dominate our lives.

Henry David Thoreau

You Empower

What you love, you empower.
And what you fear, you empower.
And what you empower, you attract.

We Can No Longer Live For Ourselves Alone

Man can no longer live his life for himself alone. We realize that all life is valuable and that we are united to all this life. From this knowledge comes our spiritual relationship with the universe.

Albert Schweitzer
