“Surely, it is only when the mind is creatively empty that it is capable of finding out whether there is an ultimate reality or not. But, the mind is never creatively empty; it is always acquiring, always gathering, living on the past or in the future, or trying to be focused in the immediate present: it is never in that state of creativeness in which a new thing can take place. As the mind is a result of time, it cannot possibly understand that which is timeless, eternal.” TryingMindStatesRealityPastResultsFindingsEternalCapableEmptyUltimateFocusedNew ThingsTimelessGatheringLiving OnCreativenessUltimate Reality Author:Jiddu Krishnamurti
“Research at the subatomic quantum level reveals an invisible connection between all particles and all members of a given species. This oneness is being demonstrated in remarkable scientific discoveries. The findings show that physical distance, what we think of as empty space, does not preclude a connection by invisible forces. Obviously there exist invisible connections between our thoughts and our actions. We do not deny this, even though the connection is impervious to our senses.” ThinkingDoeShowsActionGivenForceSpaceLevelsMembersFindingsResearchDiscoveryEmptyConnectionsDistanceSpeciesDenySensesInvisibleOnenessRemarkableQuantumOur ThoughtsOur ActionsParticlesEmpty SpaceScientific DiscoveryImpervious Author:Wayne Dyer

“Our conversations are never easy, but as I-we-get older, we are finding that our conversations must bespoken. A need burns inside us to share with others what we are feeling Beyond a certain age, sincerity ceases to feel pornographic. It is as though the coolness that marked out youth is itself a type of retrovirus that can only leave you feeling empty.

“Traveling, I am finding, teaches you a lot of things about yourself.

“I had a weird, empty feeling inside me. Not a bad sort of empty. It was a sort of lack of sensation, like being in pain for a long time and then suddenly realizing that you're not anymore. It was the feeling of having risked everything to be here with a boy and then realizing that he was exactly what I wanted. Being a picture and then finding I was really a puzzle piece, once I found the piece that was supposed to fit beside me.” LongFeelingsWantedPainFoundRealizingBoysPiecesFitFindingsLong TimeEmptySensationsPuzzlesPuzzle Piece Author:Maggie Stiefvater
