“For the whole consequence of evolution from blind impulse through conscious will to self conscious knowledge, seems still somehow to correspond to a continued result of births, rebirths and new births, which reach from the birth of the child from the mother, beyond the birth of the individual from the mass, to the birth of the creative work from the individual and finally to the birth of knowledge from the work.” ChildrenStillsSelfWholeSeemsMotherIndividualResultsCreativeEvolutionBirthMassConsciousConsequenceBlindImpulseRebirthSelf ConsciousCreative Work Book:journal Source: journal
“While brother Joseph was referring to the provinces of God, I was led to reflect that there is no act, no principle, no power belonging to the Deity that is purely philosophical. The birth of the Saviour was as natural as are the births of our children; it was the result of natural action. He partook of flesh and blood - was begotten of his Father, as we were of our fathers.” ChildrenActionFatherJesusChristNaturalResultsPrinciplesBloodBrotherBirthJesus ChristPhilosophicalOur ChildrenFleshBelongingDeitiesOur FatherSaviourProvincesReferringFlesh And Blood Author:Brigham Young
“In certain cases, a man blind from birth may have an operation performed which gives him his sight. The result: frequently misery, confusion, disorientation. The light that illumines the madman is an unearthly light, but I do not believe it is a projection, an emanation from his mundane ego. He is irradiated by a light that is more than he. It may burn him out.” MenGivingBelieveMayLightCertainResultsCasesBirthEgoSightBlindMiseryConfusionOperationsProjectionMundaneMadmenDisorientation Author:R. D. Laing
“We are inescapably the result of a long heritage of learning, adaptation, mutation and evolution, the product of a history which predates our birth as a biological species and stretches back over many thousand millennia... Going further back, we share a common ancestry with our fellow primates; and going still further back, we share a common ancestry with all other living creatures and plants down to the simplest microbe. The further back we go, the greater the difference from external appearances and behavior patterns which we observe today.” LongStillsTodayDifferencesResultsCommonGreaterShareProductsEvolutionBirthThousandCreaturesBehaviorFellowsPlantSpeciesPatternsAppearanceHeritageSimplestAdaptationAncestryLiving CreaturesPrimatesMutationMicrobesBehavior PatternsExternal Appearance Author:Fred Hoyle
“Surely if living creatures saw the results of all their evil deeds, they would turn away from them in disgust. But selfhood blinds them, and they cling to their obnoxious desires. They crave pleasure for themselves and they cause pain to others; when death destroys their individuality, they find no peace; their thirst for existence abides and their selfhood reappears in new births. Thus they continue to move in the coil and can find no escape from the hell of their own making.” IfsPainMovingDesireTurnsEvilCausesPleasureResultsExistenceHellSawsBirthCreaturesIndividualityDeedsKarmaDisgustingThirstCraveLiving CreaturesObnoxious Author:Gautama Buddha
“Every idea is an incitement. It offers itself for belief, and if believed it is acted on unless some other belief outweighs it or some failure of energy stifles the movement at its birth.

“Human life is precious, sublime and meaningful. But by involvement in purely worldly pursuits, the greatness of human birth is forgotten. Without human values, life is meaningless. When there is purity in thought, word and deed, human values are practised. The unity of the three H's is essential. 'Heart, Head and Hand.

“Humans became easy prey when they moved from the forest to the savanna, which deprived them of the option of climbing trees to flee predators. This shift made it necessary for the men to actively protect the women and their babies. Only as a result of this protection were women able to give birth in shorter intervals, perhaps once every two or three years. This meant that they could produce offspring about twice as frequently as apes. I would be willing to bet that this rapid reproduction is one of the reasons why we dominate the world today, and not the apes.” MenWorldGivingYearsHumansMadeTwoReasonWould BeTodayAbleThreeEasyResultsTreeProduceWillingHe ManBabyBirthProtectMovedProtectionForestsMade ItReason WhyClimbingThree YearsPreyRapidsDeprivedApesWorld TodayOffspringReproductionPredatorIntervalsClimbing TreesSavanna Author:Frans de Waal

“When a man acts in ways that annoy us we wish to think him wicked, and we refuse to face the fact that his annoying behavior is the result of antecedent causes which, if you follow them long enough, will take you beyond the moment of his birth, and therefore to events for which he cannot be held responsible by any stretch of imagination...
