“To be a religions man and to pray are really one and the same thing. To join in the thought of God with every thought of any importance that occurs to us ; in all our admiration of external nature, to regard it as the work of His wisdom ; to take counsel with God about all our plans, that we may be able to carry them out in His name ; and even in our most mirthful hours to remember His all-seeing eye ; this is the prayer without ceasing to which we are called, and which is really the essence of true religion.” MenMayEyeAbleRememberNamesHoursPrayerPlansSeeingPrayingEssenceImportanceRegardAdmirationTrue Religion Author:Friedrich Schleiermacher

“The essence of any plan for financing old age is saving-to put aside some part of today's earnings for the future. Anything that saps the value of savings-and inflation is the worst single threat-is the enemy of the aged and of those who expect to grow old.” AgeTodayValuesGrowsEnemyPlansWorstEssenceAgingThreatOld AgeSavingEarningInflationSavingsSapFinancing Author:Bernard Baruch
“The naive which is simultaneously beautiful, poetic, and idealistic, must be both intention and instinct. The essence of intention, in this sense, is freedom. Consciousness is far from intention. There is a certain enamoured contemplation of one's own naturalness or silliness which itself is unspeakably silly. Intention does not necessarily require a profound calculation or plan.” DoeBeautifulCertainConsciousnessPlansEssenceIntentionInstinctProfoundSillyContemplationPoeticNaiveCalculationsIdealisticSilliness Author:Karl Wilhelm Friedrich Schlegel
“All of us have worries. We worry because we are intelligent beings. Intelligence predicts, that is its essence; the same intelligence that allows us to plan, hope, imagine, and hypothesize also allows us to worry and anticipate negative outcomes.” WorryImaginePlansNegativeEssenceIntelligentOutcomesAnticipate Author:Norman Doidge
“The characteristic property of hallucinogens, to suspend the boundaries between the experiencing self and the outer world in an ecstatic, emotional experience, makes it posible with their help, and after suitable internal and external perparation, to evoke a mystical experience according to plan, so to speak. I see the true importance of LSD in the possibility of providing material aid to meditation aimed at the mystical experience of a deeper, comprehensive reality. Such a use accords entirely with the essence and working character of LSD as a sacred drug.” WorldSelfCharacterHelpingUseRealitySpeakLibertyMeditationPlansPossibilityEmotionalMaterialsDrugEssenceImportanceSacredPropertyDeeperAidsBoundariesCharacteristicsInternalsProvidingMysticalAccordComprehensiveSuitableEvokeEcstaticLsdOuter WorldsMystical ExperiencesHallucinogensAccording To Plan Author:Albert Hofmann

“Individuality in universality is the plan of creation. Each cell has its part in bringing about consciousness. Man is individual and at the same time universal. It is while realising our individual nature that we realise even our national and universal nature. Each is an infinite circle whose centre is everywhere and circumference nowhere. By practice one can feel universal Selfhood which is the essence of Hinduism. He who sees in every being his own Self is a Pandita (sage).” MenFeelsSelfIndividualConsciousnessPracticePlansCreationEssenceUniversalInfiniteIndividualityCirclesCellsRealisingHinduismCentreSageUniversality Author:Swami Vivekananda
