Quote by Dipa Sanatani

“In the Universe,” Dag says, “every crossroads is predetermined. The choice is not. I know the tale that will come to pass with each choice, but I do not know which choice will be made.”

“In yet another manipulation-of-matter dream, I saw several, perhaps ten, vortices (like spinning arms) protruding from my body. Rotating in a unison, counter-clockwise fashion, they would all, in simultaneous rhythm with my Prāṇa pulse, change direction. Immediately, I understood that these projections from my combined thought and energy processes would reverse themselves accordingly, thereby redirecting the effulgence/vibration field surrounding and radiating out from me. Another dream showed the Creative Energy of the universe surging into and through my crown area and then following down through my entire body until emerging as some form of matter. It too, seemed to involve the Prāṇa: that harnessing one’s divine heart energy is the ultimate manipulator of matter.”

“You opened your own eyes when you infected the terraforming team, didn't you? When you became Lante, and you realized that the great big world that was her neocortex was just a window onto something bigger, that must have really whipped the ground out from under you. You're tiny, but Lante knew she was tiny, and compared to the universe one of your cells and Lante's whole body aren't so different. And it's big, that universe. Lante knew she'd never see more than a few grains of sand out of that whole beach. Did it eat at her? At you? It ate at me. And I grasped more of it than any human being before or since. I was the queen of the human space colonization programme, and I knew it was just drops of spit into an infinite hurricane.”

“No matter what the universe has in store, it cannot take away from the fact that you were born. You’ll have some joy and some pain, and all the other experiences that make up what it’s like to be a tiny part of a grand cosmos. No matter what happens next, you were here. And even when any record of our individual lives is lost to the ages, that won’t detract from the fact that we were. We lived. We were part of the enormity. All the great and terrible parts of being alive, the shocking sublime beauty and heartbreak, the monotony, the interior thoughts, the shared pain and pleasure. It really happened. All of it. On this little world that orbits a yellow star out in the great vastness. And that alone is cause for celebration.”
