“First we must see that we cannot will ourselves to be open because openness is our very nature. Any tiny residue of willing, of wanting to be open takes us away from what we are. Willing never goes beyond willing. So the only way to be free from this circle is to glimpse the truth that openness is the egoless state, that it is here and now” WayFirstsStatesWillingTinyCirclesOpennessGlimpseHere And Now Book:I Am Source: I Am
“It is through our technology that we have been able to fly far away from earth to learn, in truth, how precious it is. It is no coincidence that our awakening to the special nature of our world and to its uniquely balanced environment and its limitations coincided with our first glimpse of earth from outer space, through the eyes of astronauts, television cameras and photographic equipment.” WorldFirstsHas BeensEyeAbleEarthSpaceTechnologyEnvironmentSpecialTelevisionCamerasEnvironmentalAwakeningLimitationOur WorldFar AwayBalancedCoincidenceEquipmentGlimpseAstronautOuter SpaceThrough The Eyes Author:Dixie Lee Ray
“Christianity seems at first to be all about morality, all about duties and rules and guilt and virtue, yet it leads you on, out of all that, into something beyond. One has a glimpse of a country where they do not talk of those things, except perhaps as a joke. Every one there is filled full with what we should call goodness as a mirror is filled with light. But they do not call it goodness. They do not call it anything. They are not thinking of it. They are too busy looking at the source from which it comes.” ThinkingShouldFirstsCountryLightSeemsChristianityVirtueDutySourceMoralityGoodnessJokesMirrorsFilledGuiltBusyGlimpseToo Busy Book:A Year with C.
