NON-DUALITY: THE PARTICIPATORY UNIVERSE Quotes

“Inside the united and indivisible universal Wholeness, every thought and action we make concerning the part, creates the reaction of the whole towards us. In short, whatever we are doing and in whichever way we are doing it, has a multiple effect on us, from every “corner” of the universal unity. The meaning of universal, indivisible unity creates a new social and ecological awareness, since the social and the nature are structural parts of the whole and every action we take against it, results in a reaction of the whole cosmic creation against us.”

“The living world is not the harsh domain of classical Darwinism, where each struggle against all, with every species, every organism and every gene competing for advantage against every other. Organisms are not skin-enclosed selfish entities, and competition is never unfettered. Life evolves, as does the universe itself, in a 'sacred dance' with an underlying field. This makes living beings into elements in a vast network of intimate relations that embraces the entire biosphere itself an interconnected element within the wider connections that reach into the cosmos.”

“In the cosmic dance of swirling lights, Where stars are born and darkness fights, The universe whispers secrets old, In silver threads and dust of gold. Galaxies twirl in elegant grace, Each a part of the endless space, Planets orbit in silent tunes, Around their suns, like drifting balloons. Mysteries hide in the blackest night, Beyond the reach of human sight, Yet we gaze up with hopeful eyes, Dreaming of truths beyond the skies. Infinite worlds, both big and small, The universe holds them, one and all, A canvas vast for us to explore, Its beauty, a siren call to implore. So let us journey through the stars, Past the confines of our earthly bars, For in the universe, we find our place, A tiny speck, in its grand embrace.”

“The Multiplicity and the Unity are one and the same thing, a thing that is both many and one at the same time. The waves, and the currents underwater, make up the ocean. The ocean is the underlying basis for every wave. Neither the ocean, nor the waves, can be understood in isolation from each other.”

“He told me a tale of woefulness, one upon a time the heaven woke up and the silence spoke, then came the separation, the agony began, the fear and questions came, and I wept, tears I had never known before. since then the days are falling and abandoned, we walk facing the sun but the shadow is behind us and follow us.”
