“The life of any one can by no means be changed after death; an evil life can in no wise be converted into a good life, or an infernal into an angelic life: because every spirit, from head to foot, is of the character of his love, and therefore, of his life; and to convert this life into its opposite, would be to destroy the spirit utterly.” MeanCharacterWould BeSpiritEvilChangeWiseFeetChangedOppositesThis LifeGood LifeHis LoveAfter DeathAngelic Book:A Compendium of the Theological Writings of Emanuel Swedenborg Source: A Compendium of the Theological Writings of Emanuel Swedenborg
“Nothing is ever solved, or created, by standing still. Movement is the process of the Universe. So move. Do something. Anything. But do not stand still. Do not fence sit. Put your foot down on one side or the other, swing the opposite leg over and start walking. You'll know before you take ten steps if you're going in the right direction.” IfsKnowsStillsMovingUniverseProcessSidesInspiringStepsFeetMovementWalkingTenStandingOppositesLegsSwingsFenceRight DirectionStanding Still Author:Neale Donald Walsch
“Liberty is the first condition of growth. Your ancestors gave every liberty to the soul, and religion grew. They put the body under every bondage, and society did not grow. The opposite is the case in the West - every liberty to society, none to religion. Now are falling off the shackles from the feet of Eastern society as from those of Western religion.” FirstsSoulBodyFallGrowsGrowthLibertyCasesFeetConditionsGrewOppositesWestWesternAncestorEasternBondageShacklesFalling Off Book:The Complete Works of Swami Vivekananda Source: The Complete Works of Swami Vivekananda
“And that we cannot go to space with our feet in the mud. Nor can we in fact turn ourselves into an eco-sensitive hallucinogenic-based culture on Earth unless we fuse these dichotomous opposites. It is only in a coincidencia oppositorum, a union of opposites, that does not strive for closure, that we are going to find cultural sanity. And this is the thing that the entheogens, the hallucinogens, deliver with such clarity and regularity. They raise paradox to a level of intensity that no one can evade.” DoeFactsEarthTurnsCultureSpaceLevelsFeetOppositesRaisesUnionsStriveClaritySensitiveParadoxIntensitySanityMudClosureEcoRegularityFuseHallucinogens Author:Terence McKenna
