Imagination is more important than knowledge. Knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution." \n-Albert Einstein\n\n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n\n"Our earth is but a small star in a great universe. Yet of it we can make, if we choose, a planet unvexxed by war, untroubled by hunger or fear, undivided by senseless distinctions of race, color or theory." \n-Stephen Vincent Benet\n\n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n\n"Understand that a self-centered attitude is the source of all suffering, and concern for others is the source of all happiness and goodness." \n-The Dalai Lama, The Way to Freedom\n\n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n\n"The wind can blow one way but actually move you in another, and like sailing, you can use the wind in the wrong direction and still get somewhere you want to go." \n-Pete Seeger quoted in Whole Earth Review, spring 2001. \nVisit the All Species Project \n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n\n"I have just three things to teach:\nsimplicity, patience, compassion.\nThese three are your greatest treasures.\nSimple in actions and in thoughts,\nyou return to the source of being.\nPatient with both friends and enemies,\nyou accord with the way things are.\nCompassionate toward yourself,\nyou reconcile all beings in the world." \n\n- Lao-Tzu\n\n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n\n"In art and dream\nmay you proceed with abandon.\n\nIn life may you proceed with\nbalance and stealth."\n\n- Patti Smith\n\n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n\n"God is the shortest distance from zero to infinity."\n- Alfred Jarry\n\n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n\nIt is in the stillness, in the silence, that the word of God is to be heard. There is no better avenue of approach to this Word than through stillness, through silence. It is to be heard there as it is - in that unself-consciousness, for when one is aware of nothing, that word is imparted to him and clearly revealed. \n\n- Meister Eckhart, from "The Sermons" in Meister Eckhart.\n\n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n\n"Life's most persistent question is: What are you doing for others?" \n-Martin Luther King, Jr.\n\n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n\n"Show me a sane man and I will cure him." \n\n-Carl Jung\n\n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n\n"Whatever you can do, or dream you can do, begin it. Boldness has genius, power and magic in it. Begin it now. \n\n-Goethe\n\n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n\n"Buddha did not suffer from fear of success. He was one of those rare characters, like Joan of Arc or Lawrence of Arabia or Pablo Picasso, who know beyond a shadow of a doubt that their lives hold a particular destiny. For people like this, life is just a matter of waiting, patiently, for the appropriate moment to come before stepping, in sandals or boxer shorts, into the mythos." \n-Jeff Greenwald, Shopping for Buddhas\n\n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n\n"DNA is a master of transformation, just like mythical serpents. The cell-based life DNA informs made the air we breathe, the landscape we see, and the mind-boggling diversity of living beings of which we are part. In 4 billion years, it has multiplied itself into an incalculable number of species, while remaining exactly the same."\n\n-Jeremy Narby, The Cosmic Serpent.\n\n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n\n"Five mysteries hold the keys to the unseen: the act of love, and the birth of a baby, and the contemplation of great art, and being in the presence of death or disaster, and hearing the human voice lifted in song. These are the occasions when the bolts of the universe fly open and we are given a glimpse of what is hidden; an eff of the ineffable. Glory bursts upon us in such hours: the dark glory of earthquakes, the slippery wonder of new life, the radiance of...singing."\n\n-Salmon Rushdie in The Ground Beneath Her Feet.\n\n \n\n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\nThe Crossroads of Culture \n"It is probably true quite generally that in the history of human thinking the most fruitful developments frequently take place at those points where two different lines of thought meet. These lines may have their roots in quite different parts of human culture, in different times or different cultural environments or different religious traditions: hence if they actually meet, that is, if they are at least so much related to each other that a real interaction can take place, then one may hope that new and interesting developments may follow."\n \nWerner Heisenberg \n\n\n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n\n\n"We are going to discover the plasticity, the mutability, the eternal nature of the mind and, I believe, release it from the monkey. My vision of the final human future is an effort to exteriorize the soul and internalize the body, so that the exterior soul will exist as a superconducting lens of translinguistic matter generated out of the body of each of us at a critical juncture of our psychedelic bar mitzvah."\n\n \nTerrence MacKenna \n\n\n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n\n\n"Honesty is the best policy in life, but it is essential in art."\n\n \nSalmon Rushdie \n\n\n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n\n\n"There is no situation that is not transfigurable, \nthere is no situation that has no hope."\n\n \nDesmond Tutu \n\n\n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n\n\n"The final mystery is oneself. When one has weighed the sun in a balance, and measured the steps of the moon, and mapped out the seven heavens star by star, there still remains oneself. Who can calculate the orbit of his own soul?"\n\n \nOscar Wilde, De Profundis \n\n\n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n\n\n"All outer events in life are in a way only similes; they are only parables of an inner process, synchronistic symbolisations. You have to look at them from that angle to understand and integrated them, and that would be spiritualizing the physical. "\n\n \nMarie Louise von Franz, Alchemy \n\n\n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n\n\nFish don't hold the sacred liquid in cups! They swim the huge fluid freedom.\n\n \n-Rumi \n\n\n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n\n"Except during the nine months before he draws his first breath, no man manages his affairs as well as a tree does." \n\n-George Bernard Shaw\n \n\n\n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n\n\n"Knowing others is wisdom, Knowing the self is enlightenment." \n\n-Lao Tzu\n \n\n\n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n\n"Money may be the husk of many things but not the kernel. It brings you food but not appetite; medicine, but not health; acquaintances, but not friends; servants, but not loyalty; days of joy, but not peace and happiness." \n\n-Henrik Ibsen\n \n\n\n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n\n"The difference between scientific theory and reality is like the difference between reading the menu and eating dinner." \n\n-Gregory Bateson\n \n\n\n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n\nPantai Rai \n\n-Heraclitus\n \n\n\n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n\nThe Sacred Book of Nature\n\nTo the eye of the seer every leaf of the tree is a page of the holy book\nthat contains divine revelation, and he is inspired every moment of his\nlife by constantly reading and understanding the holy script of nature.\n\n-Hazrat Inayat Khan, The Sufi Message \n\n\n \n\n\n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n\n\nInitiation is simply a set of challenges presented to an individual so that he or she may grow. Consequently, the troubles we encounter in our paths in the modern world are, in essence, initiatory to the extent that each of them is life changing. \n- Malidoma Patrice Some, The Healing Wisdom of Africa\n\n \n\n\n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n\
