“At the core of One Spirit Medicine is the idea that how we perceive the world 'out there' is a projection of internal maps that shape our beliefs and guide how we think, feel and behave. These maps are the unconscious programs that drive our experience of life and the state of our health. The key to optimum health is to upgrade these unconscious maps and limiting beliefs that have been driving us to a toxic lifestyle and relationships.” ThinkingWorldFeelsHas BeensIdeasStatesSpiritBeliefKeysShapesProgramMedicineGuidesDrivingCoreLifestylePerceiveBehaveUnconsciousInternalsMapsToxicProjectionLimiting BeliefsOptimum Author:Alberto Villoldo
“In a nuclear age, and in an age of serious environmental degradation, apocalyptic belief creates a serious second order danger.

“Few things have done more harm than the belief on the part of individuals or groups (or tribes or states or nations or churches) that he or she or they are in sole possession of the truth: especially about how to live, what to be and do - and that those who differ from them are not merely mistaken, but wicked or mad: and need restraining or suppressing.” NeedsStatesDoneIndividualBeliefNationsChurchGroupsMadPossessionHarmWickedSoleMistakenTribesSuppressingRestraining Author:Isaiah Berlin
“It may be observed in general that the future is purchased by the present. It is not possible to secure distant or permanent happiness but by the forbearance of some immediate gratification. This is so evidently true with regard to the whole of our existence that all precepts of theology have no other tendency than to enforce a life of faith; a life regulated not by our senses but by our belief; a life in which pleasures are to be refused for fear of invisible punishments, and calamities sometimes to be sought, and always endured, in hope of rewards that shall be obtained in another state.” MaySometimesStatesWholeBeliefPleasureExistenceRegardRewardsSensesPunishmentInvisibleTheologyTendenciesSecurePermanentGratificationCalamityForbearanceImmediate Gratification Book:Works: ¬The Rambler Source: Works: ¬The Rambler
