“The thought of both East and West (philosophies) can indeed be integrated into a higher truth. They show us that the West is correct in maintaining that life is about progress about evolving toward something higher. Yet the East is also correct in emphasizing that we must let go of control with the ego. We can't progress by using logic alone. We have to attain a fuller consciousness, an inner connection with God, because only then can our evolution toward something better be guided by a higher part of ourselves.” PhilosophyShowsLife IsConsciousnessProgressEvolutionHigherLetting GoEgoConnectionsLogicWestEastEvolveMaintainingSomething BetterIntegratedSelf ConsciousnessEast And WestCelestine Prophecy Author:James Redfield
“You can't will something into being. If you follow that philosophy all the way, to will something into being, that's animal style. That's what man does.

You have to separate yourself.” IfsThinkingMenWayDoeSometimesPhilosophyAnimalStyleEgo Author:Zack Snyder

“My philosophy is that if you're playing a moment truthfully, that it's a funny moment, then hopefully it will be funny. I like to just go for a truth in the work as much as I can. There's a lack of ego when you're working with comedy that I really love. It's hard to come up with something funny. It's become a fun game in a way. Everyone is going for the gold, for that humor.” PhilosophyMomentsFunComedyEgoGoldHopefully Author:Peter Vack

“What passes for education, culture or maturity in most minds is merely how individuals want to think of themselves, a contrived egocentric self-concept, not actual and effective principles and values.
