“I like to summarize what I regard as the pedestal-smashing messages of Darwin's revolution in the following statement, which might be chanted several times a day, like a Hare Krishna mantra, to encourage penetration into the soul: Humans are not the end result of predictable evolutionary progress, but rather a fortuitous cosmic afterthought, a tiny little twig on the enormously arborescent bush of life, which, if replanted from seed, would almost surely not grow this twig again, or perhaps any twig with any property that we would care to call consciousness.” IfsHumansLittlesSoulEndsMightCareGrowsResultsConsciousnessProgressRevolutionMessagesRegardPropertyFollowingSeedsTinyStatementsCosmicPredictableKrishnaMantrasPedestalEnd ResultsHaresSmashingTwigsPenetrationAfterthoughtFortuitousHare Krishna Author:Stephen Jay Gould
“My understanding of God is an experience. God is. That's all I know. In the Biblical tradition, it would be expressed as, "Be still and know that I am God." God is the "I am" energy. Something huge is at play here - cosmic creativity, consciousness, God, whatever you want to call it. I do believe that it's a guided ride. We're on a guided tour of the universe.” KnowsWantBelieveStillsPlayWould BeUniverseEnergyUnderstandingConsciousnessCreativityHugeTraditionCosmicBiblical Author:Elizabeth Lesser
“It is the profoundest of cosmic ironies. The divine power, our true spiritual essence, does not achieve perfection until it hits the 'rock' bottom of the cosmos - the dense and crude earth. It remains imperfect until the moment of entombment for the simple reason that until that dark nadir is reached the experiential adventure of existence remains incomplete, and Self is not yet endowed with the entire spectrum of the light of consciousness - from spirit to matter - from the highest high to the lowest low.” DoeSelfMatterReasonMomentsLightEarthSpiritualSpiritDarkSimpleExistenceConsciousnessAchieveRocksDivineAdventureHighestLowsPerfectionEssenceRemainsBottomIronyCosmosCosmicImperfectLowestSpectrumIncompleteCrudeDenseDivine PowerNadir Book:The New Hermetics: 21st Century Magick for Illumination and Power Source: The New Hermetics: 21st Century Magick for Illumination and Power

“I experienced direct telepathy with other people, and during one such incident, I I received a channelling of cosmic information from some being in another realm. It came directly through a friend who was tripping on acid, and as he began speaking stream-of-consciousness to me and my girlfriend - and both of us were very stoned on grass - his words conveyed cosmic instructions and information we all three knew to be profoundly important and meaningful.” PeopleImportantThreeConsciousnessInformationDirectMeaningfulGrassRealmsGirlfriendStreamsCosmicInstructionIncidentsAcidMy GirlfriendTelepathyTrippingStream Of Consciousness Author:Susan Schneider
“The consciousness of the supreme Purusha remains above, but in the mind there may be a Purusha consciousness which they call the cosmic consciousness - it is wide, all-pervading, one.
