Quote by Donna Goddard

“We live in the world, but we are not of it. Our consciousness cannot have an indecisive foot in both worlds. It must know where we reside. Make no mistake. One of those worlds will carry our home address. Whichever one it is will determine our life. It is best to choose the higher world and visit the other one with as much dignity, compassion, and love as we are capable of.”

“Your mind is this way, open and still. Along comes a thought into the horizon. We rarely stand still long enough to see our thoughts and watch it arise and disappear. We are often so lost in the cloud of thoughts that we don’t have the separation to see them. We think we are them. Yet, it is possible to sit and watch a thought in the same way.”

“The “quintessence of dust” is zero-finity-infinity. It can be expressed as the local plus the non-local, matter and mind, nature and supernature, physics and metaphysics, body and soul, Creation and the Creator, the dream and the dreamer, spacetime and singularity. Ontological mathematics alone can elucidate all of these relationships. It’s all in the math! It’s not as if it could be anywhere else. 1 + 1 = 2.”

“What is a dream? It’s an externalized thought, a projected thought. The mind makes a world that seems separate from the mind, but is in fact wholly contained by the mind and vanishes when the mind ceases to think about it. The universe itself is just the same. It’s a projected thought. It is born in mind, and mind can end it, and eventually does. Then starts it up again. A new dream is launched.”
