“Mysterious spaces cause us to turn inward. Amid a rich upwelling of association, we encounter many aspects of ourselves. As we grow still, we come in contact with a unified, empty, yet full ground of our being. As our consciousness grows more spacious, we find connections between us and the wider world, a shared greater reality.” WorldStillsRealityTurnsGrowsCausesSpaceConsciousnessRichGreaterAspectEmptyConnectionsContactMysteriousEncountersAssociationInwardUnified Author:John Paul Caponigro
“We as a culture are forgetting that we are actually natural organisms and that we have this very, very deep connection and contact with nature.

“We have to learn how to contact one another over an enormous land space, across five-and-a-half time zones, in what as once a wilderness of scattered settlements, in what is now a sprawl of suburban edge cities and satellite towns.

“Very simply, a platform is the thing you stand on to get heard. It's your stage. But unlike a stage in a theatre, today's platform is not built of wood or concrete or perched on a grassy hill. Today's platform is built of people. Contacts. Connections. Followers.” PeopleTodayHeardStageBuiltConnectionsWoodsTheatreContactHillsFollowersConcretePlatforms Author:Michael Hyatt
“In the early days of the military Arpanet, my daughter was studying in Nicaragua. Because the U.S. was essentially at war with them, contact was difficult.

“I used the Internet to keep really close contact with my fans. I think that one thing I brought over the ocean with me was the connection with my fans. They went through the process with me.

“We need to consider ancestral cleansing. If we're willing to clear our energy fields of the ancestral energies we don't want, then we are ready to do something really interesting and beautiful which is to claim a connection with the wisdom of the kinds of ancestors we do want to be in contact with.

“It's very enigmatic because of course, the population [of North Korea] has no contact with the world outside or it's very, very limited. They don't have any telephone connections, no radio, no TV, no movies, no newspapers - nothing from the outside world. This is very strange and there's the very strict, unifying government that forces you to be in step. You see it in the stadium where the spectators create, by flipping cards, an image of the dear leader, or of the volcano, and it's made of a 100,000 human pictures.” WorldHumansMadeGovernmentCoursesForceLeaderStepsStrangeTvsConnectionsDearPopulationRadioNewspapersContactCardsStrictTelephonesSpectatorsKoreaNorth KoreaStadiumsOutside WorldVolcanoesUnifyingEnigmatic Author:Werner Herzog
“But what Dakota most enjoyed about the beginning of winter was the crispness of the air (that practically demanded the wearing of knits) and the way that tough New Yorkers - on the street, in elevators, in subways - were suddenly willing to risk a smile.

“An orgasm is not what I want and I know it. What I want, need, is so much more than that. It's the connection.The exhilarating contact with this human being, a being that compels me like no other.

“And it occurred to me that in this new millennial life of instant and ubiquitous connection, you don't in fact communicate so much as leave messages for one another, these odd improvisational performances, often sorry bits and samplings of ourselves that can't help but seem out of context. And then when you do finally reach someone, everyone's so out of practice or too hopeful or else embittered that you wonder if it would be better not to attempt contact at all.” IfsFactsHelpingSeemsWould BeBitsWonderPracticeMessagesConnectionsPerformancesSorryCommunicateContactOddInstantHopefulLeaving MeMillennialsOf ContextSampling Author:Chang-Rae Lee
“Thunder is no longer the voice of an angry god... No river contains a spirit... no snake the embodiment of wisdom, no mountain cave the home of a great demon.

“I think there's no question that, even though we may not have the evidence as Richard (Perle) says, that there have been such contacts (between Iraq and al Qaeda). It' s normal. It's natural. These are a lot of bad actors in the same region together. They are going to bump into each other. They are going to exchange information. They're going to feel each other out and see whether there are opportunities to cooperate. That's inevitable in this region, and I think it's clear that regardless of whether or not such evidence is produced of these connections that Saddam Hussein is a threat.” ThinkingFeelsMayHas BeensTogetherActorsOpportunityNaturalClearInformationNormalEvidenceConnectionsThreatIraqContactInevitableRegionsAlsSaddamHusseinBumpsAl Qaeda Author:Wesley Clark
