“There is no such thing as happiness. Life bends joy and pain, beauty and ugliness, in such a way that no one may isolate them. No one should want to.

“According to the true Indian view, our consciousness of the world, merely as the sum total of things that exist, and as governed by laws, is imperfect. But it is perfect when our consciousness realizes all things as spiritually one with it, and therefore capable of giving us joy. For us the highest purpose of this world is not merely living in it, knowing it and making use of it, but realizing our own selves in it through expansion of sympathy; not alienating ourselves from it and dominating it, but comprehending and uniting it with ourselves in perfect union.” WorldGivingSelfUseLawJoyPurposeRealizingPerfectViewsConsciousnessKnowingThis WorldHighestCapableAll ThingsUnionsIndianImperfectExpansionDominatingUnitingComprehending Author:Rabindranath Tagore

Otherwise what might be strength in a writer is only crudeness, and what might be insight is only observation; sentimemnt falls to sentimentality - you can write about life, but never write life itself.” IfsWritingYearsHumansHeartMightHumanityFallForcePerfectConsciousnessFiveQuietYears AgoInsightObservationFive YearsMatureHuman HeartBetter Than YouSentimentality Author:Sarah Orne Jewett
“The popular prophets have underestimated how strange the truth can be. The human brain, that 'perfect instrument,' that 'fabulous electronic dance,' can be our open sesame to an infinitely richer life than we have believed possible.

We are just beginning to realize that we can truly open the doors of perception and creep out of the cavern.” HumansStatesRealizingPerfectHealingBrainConsciousnessCreativeDoorsStrangePerceptionInstrumentsProphetAttributesFabulousLiberatingCreepsAlteredHuman BrainUnderestimatedFluentCavernsDoors Of PerceptionAltered States Author:Marilyn Ferguson

“So when we sing, 'Draw me nearer, nearer, blessed Lord,' we are not thinking of the nearness of place, but of the nearness of relationship. It is for increasing degrees of awareness that we pray, for a more perfect consciousness of the divine Presence. We need never shout across the spaces to an absent God.
