Quote by Olga Tokarczuk

“For some reason people have developed a liking for only one sort of transformation. They are fond of increase and development, but not decrease and disintegration. They prefer ripening to decay. They like things to be younger and younger, more and more juicy, fresh and unripe; they like things that are not yet fully moulded, still a bit angular; driven by a powerful spring of potential, what might still happen, always the moment before, never after.”

“[Pertaining to The Law of Free Will and Karma]: Disputing traditional cause and effect karmic doctrine, Kuan Yin maintains that it is the accumulated beliefs from parallel realities creating “made-up stories” about oneself and, thus, reality. Because of this quantum factor, we have absolute Free Will to attract optimum realities from infinite, simultaneous Evolutionary Potentials. Thus, according to Kuan Yin, where and how skillfully one focuses their intention and attention can determine an outcome.”

“Хасиды рассказывают историю о грядущем мире, который гласит, что все там будет таким же, как здесь. Такая же комната, как у нас теперь; где спит сейчас наш ребенок, он будет спать и в грядущем мире. Одежду, которую мы носим здесь, мы будем носить и там. Все будет как сейчас, только чуть-чуть по-другому.”
