“You're looking for purity, something that just isn't all garbled, someplace where you can feel the earth again, where you can feel what the wind feels like, where you can see the stars at night, and actually, not just look at little dots in the sky, but feel an energy from them.” FeelsLooksLittlesEarthNightHumanityEnergyStarsSkyWindBuddhismPurityDots Author:Frederick Lenz
“Home Star is a common sense idea that would create jobs and provide a boost to local economies, while helping families afford their energy bills. By encouraging homeowners to invest in energy efficiency retrofits, Home Star would create 170,000 manufacturing and construction jobs that could not be outsourced to China.” IdeasHelpingHomeJobsEnergyStarsCommonEconomyBillsChinaLocalsCommon SenseConstructionEfficiencyManufacturingBoostEnergy EfficiencyHomeownersOutsourced Author:Peter Welch

“Our planet consists largely of lumps of fall-out from a star-sized hydrogen bomb. Within our bodies, no less than three million atoms rendered unstable in that event still erupt every minute, releasing a tiny fraction of the energy stored from that fierce fire of long ago.” LongStillsBodyFallThreeEnergyStarsMillionsFireMinutesEventsPlanetsTinyBombsAtomsFierceLong AgoOur PlanetFractionsUnstableLumpsHydrogenHydrogen Bomb Author:James Lovelock
“Currents of energy shimmer through our bodies. Like shooting stars, we rocket through spacious stillness.

“The fact that astrology nevertheless yields valid results proves that it is not the apparent positions of the stars which work, but rather the times which are measured or determined by arbitrarily named stellar positions. Time thus proves to be a stream of energy filled with qualities and not, as our philosophy would have it, an abstract concept or precondition of knowledge.” PhilosophyFactsEnergyStarsResultsQualityPositionProveConceptsFilledDeterminedAbstractStreamsYieldNeverthelessAstrologyStellar Book:Jung on Synchronicity and the Paranormal Source: Jung on Synchronicity and the Paranormal
“It is all very well and good for Linda Lovelace, the star of the movie, to advocate sexual freedom; but the energy she brings to her role is less awesome than discouraging.

“Rumors and reports of man's relation with animals are the world's oldest news stories, headlined in the stars of the zodiac, posted on the walls of prehistoric caves, inscribed in the languages of Egyptian myth, Greek philosophy, Hindu religion, Christian art, our own DNA.

“So powerfully does fortune appear to sway the destinies of men, putting a silver spoon into one man's mouth, and a wooden one into another's, that some of the most sagacious of men, as Cardinal Mazarin and Rothschild, seem to have been inclined to regard luck as the first element of worldly success; experience, sagacity, energy, and enterprise as nothing, if linked to an unlucky star.” IfsMenFirstsDoeHas BeensSeemsEnergyStarsDestinyElementsMouthsRegardLuckFortuneEnterpriseSilverOne ManWorldlyLinkedSpoonsCardinalsUnluckySagacityRothschildSilver SpoonsLucky Star Book:Getting on in the World: Or, Hints on Success in Life Source: Getting on in the World: Or, Hints on Success in Life
“We're headed for what is called Type 1 Civilization, planetary civilization. Type 2 would be stellar civilization, like Star Trek. Type 3 Civilization would be galactic, like Star Wars. We are Type 0. We get our energy from dead plants, oil and coal. But the question is: Will we make it? Will we make the transition from Type 0 to Type 1?

“To know that you are God is another way of saying that you feel completely with this universe. You feel profoundly rooted in it and connected with it. You feel, in other words, that the whole energy, which expresses itself in the galaxies, is intimate. It is not something to which you are a stranger, but it is that with which you, whatever it is, are intimately bound up. That in your seeing, your hearing, your talking, your thinking, your moving, you express that which it is that moves the sun and other stars.” ThinkingKnowsWayFeelsWholeMovingUniverseEnergyStarsTalkingSunSeeingBoundsStrangerConnectedHearingIntimateRootedGalaxyAnother Way Author:Alan Watts

“In astrophysics, we care about how matter, motion and energy manifest in objects and phenomenon in the universe. Stars are born. They live out their lives. They die. Some of the ones that die explode. Our sun will not be one of those, but it will die. And it'll take Earth with us. So we make sure we have other destinations in mind when that happens.

“It's like a pulsar inside me. There is this great burst of energy, forcing me to write, and then the star goes quiet for a time, and I think it's gone, but it's gathering energy for another burst.
