“If you happen to hold that human consciousness is no more than the epiphenomenon, or secretion, of our individual brains then you are more or less trapped in your own skull. But if consciousness is open, if it can partake in a more global form of being, if it can merge with the natural world and with other beings, then, indeed, it may be possible to drop, for a time, the constraints of one's personal worldview and see reality through the eyes of others.” ConsciousnessEmpathyInterpersonal Relationships Author:F.

“One thought follows on the other, they are not distinct objects with clear boundaries; rather, one thought anticipates the next and thereby contains it. The thought that comes afterward contains the memory or trace of the former. Thus, the movement of thought within the mind requires a mathematics of implicate forms.” ThoughtProgression Author:F.

“One of the most curious of these stories about Pauli concerns the number 137. One of the great unsolved mysteries of modern physics is the value of the fine structure constant, for while the other fundamental constants of nature are all immensely small or enormously large, this fine structure constant 1/137 turns out to be a human-sized number. This number 137 and its place in the scale of the universe particularly puzzled Pauli and continues to challenge physicists today. I was a mystery that Pauli was to take to his death, for on being admitted into the hospital, the physicist was told that he was being put into room 137. According to one version of this story on learning of his room number, Pauli said, "I will never get out of here." The physicist died shortly after.” PsychologyPhilosophy Of LifeSynchronicityHistory Of ScienceFine Structure ConstantHistory Of Physics Book:Synchronicity: The Bridge Between Matter and Mind Source: Synchronicity: The Bridge Between Matter and Mind
“It is as if the formation of patterns within the unconscious mind is accompanied by physical patterns in the outer world. In particular, as psychic patterns are on the point of reaching consciousness, the synchronicities reach their peak; moreover, they generally disappear as the individual becomes consciously aware of a new alignment of forces within his or her own personality...It is as if the internal restructuring produces external resonance, or as if a burst of 'mental energy' is propagated outward onto the world.” IfsWorldMindIndividualEnergyForceConsciousnessProduceParticularPersonalityUnityPatternsDisappearUnconsciousReachingInternalsPsychicsFormationAlignmentResonanceSynchronicityUnconscious MindOuter WorldsRestructuring Author:F.

“Synchronicities, epiphanies, peak, and mystical experiences are all cases in which creativity breaks through the barriers of the self and allows awareness to flood through the whole domain of consciousness. It is the human mind operating, for a moment, in its true order and moving through orders of increasing subtlety, reaching past the source of mind and matter into creativity itself.” MindHumansSelfMatterWholeMomentsPastMovingOrderGrowthConsciousnessBreakCreativityCasesAwarenessSourceDisciplineReachingBarriersHuman MindFloodSelf DisciplineMysticalDomainSubtletyEpiphanyBreak ThroughSynchronicityMystical ExperiencesMind And Matter Author:F.

“Creativity permeates the cosmos. It is the driving force that sustains the particles, the stars and galaxiesit surges through the body with each beat of the heart. We all have access to creativity. At times, we summon it to use in our work and daily livesit can arrive in a dreamor it may result from a long struggleit can appear as a sudden, dramatic insightOne thing is certain — Creativity is ever present. It is a force to be enjoyed or endured but above all celebrated. Creativity is free, alive and spontaneous.” HeartMayLongUseBodyCertainForceStarsResultsCreativityAliveBeatsAccessDrivingEnjoyedDramaticCosmosDaily LifeSpontaneousParticlesDriving Force Author:F.
