“Debate doesn’t really change things. It gets you bogged in deeper. If you can address or reopen the subject with something new, something from a different angle, then there is some hope. ... People are suddenly gazing at something else and pausing for a moment. And for the duration of that gaze and pause, they are like reflectors of the totality of their own knowledge and/or ignorance. That’s something poetry can do for you, it can entrance you for a moment above the pool of your own consciousness and your own possibilities.” PeopleIfsDifferentMomentsCan DoConsciousnessSubjectsPossibilityIgnoranceDeeperDebateAddressesSomething NewPoolPausesAngleEntrancesTotalityDurationGazingDifferent AnglesPausing Author:Seamus Heaney

“They say the full potential of the human being is called enlightenment, which is infinite consciousness, infinite happiness, zero negativity, zero dying, complete freedom, total fulfillment, and being at one with everything. You can say it's God realization, or you can say you sit at the feet of the Lord as master of all you survey. You could say it's totality, total knowledge, and that you are that totality. This is every human being's birthright: to one day enjoy supreme enlightenment, unity. It's like the big graduation.” HumansBigsEnjoyHuman BeingsConsciousnessLordFeetDyingMastersOne DayEnlightenmentInfiniteUnitySupremeRealizationFulfillmentZeroNegativitySurveysTotalityBirthrightFull PotentialComplete FreedomInfinite Consciousness Author:David Lynch
