Quote by Maria Karvouni

“They shock victims… permanently installing electricity inside the body… They drain the thoughts from the eyes… They send radio waves to the ears… Silent criminals appearing as good & innocent… Secretly they abuse & frame.”

“Through us, the Spirit moves through the Earth, and an important part of the journey of individual spiritual development is learning to create a sacred place with our faith and reverence.”

Keeping it simple leads to things being missed and so not getting things completely right, which, in the world of over-simplification, means getting them wrong.”

“...[T]here is no art in being intelligible if one renounces all thoroughness of insight; but also it produces a disgusting medley of compiled observations and half-reasoned principles. Shallow pates enjoy this because it can be used for everyday chat, but the sagacious find in it only confusion, and being unsatisfied and unable to help themselves, they turn away their eyes, while philosophers, who see quite well through this delusion, are little listened to when they call men off for a time from this pretended popularity in order that they might be rightfully popular after they have attained a definite insight.”

“Of course, our natural impulse in these [intractable conflict] situations is to fight or flee. To lash out, blame, attack, or challenge someone, or otherwise try to get out and avoid the situation altogether. These responses make perfect sense in the short term, but likely will have little effect on the 5 percent [of conflicts that are intractable]. In fact, they may make matters worse in the long term. So if escaping or resolving this conflict is your goal (and we do not assume this is always the case), we suggest a different approach. And it begins with complicating your life.”
