“Some tribes [of monkeys] have taken to washing potatoes in the river before eating them, others have not. Sometimes migrating groups of potato-washers meet non-washers, and the two groups watch each other's strange behavior with apparent bewilderment. But unlike the inhabitants of Lilliput, who fought holy crusades over the question at which end to break the egg, the potato-washing monkeys do not go to war with the non-washers, because the poor creatures have no language which would enable them to declare washing a diving commandment and eating unwashed potatoes a deadly heresy.” TwoWarEndsSometimesLanguagePoorWatchesBreakTakenGroupsSocietyStrangeHolyCreaturesBehaviorEatingRiversEggsCommandmentsTribesMonkeysPotatoesHeresyWashingCrusadesDivingBewilderment Author:Arthur Koestler

“We must be careful not to choose, but to let God's Holy Spirit manage our lives; not to smooth down and explain away, but to stir up the gift and allow God's Spirit to disturb us and disturb us and disturb us until we yield and yield and yield and the possibility in God's mind for us becomes an established fact in our lives, with the rivers in evidence meeting the need of a dying world.” WorldNeedsMindFactsSpiritOur LivesDyingPossibilityHolyLetting GoEvidenceRiversDown AndMeetingsCarefulManageHoly SpiritYieldBe CarefulSmooth Book:Smith Wigglesworth on Manifesting the Power of God: Walking in God's Anointing Every Day of the Year Source: Smith Wigglesworth on Manifesting the Power of God: Walking in God's Anointing Every Day of the Year
“Ancient traditions have long associated holy wells and springs as very special places of the Goddess or anima mundi: symbolic of the Great Mother and associated with birth, the feminine principle, the universal womb, the prima materia, the waters of fertility and refreshment and the fountain of life. The dreaming sites, as they are called, have also been associated with visions, healing, and other paranormal experiences. In ancient Greece, for example, there were more than three-hundred medical centers placed at water sources, where patients experienced healing.” LifeWellsLongDreamMotherThreeWaterHealingVisionPrinciplesSpecialExampleSourceBirthHolySpringHundredRainTraditionRiversUniversalPatientAncientMedicalParanormalFeminineGoddessSiteFountainWombGreeceSymbolicSpecial PlacesFertilityAncient GreeceRefreshmentsGreat Mother Author:Christopher McDowell
“I ask that this one thing, your church would gaze on the, the beauty of the Lord, I ask that you would awaken the hardened lost. I ask you to fascinate your church with the revelation of the beauty of Jesus. Come and release lovesickness for Jesus. Come and unlock the fountains of the hearts, now, Lord, by the river of fire, by the Holy Spirit, by the spirit of revelation. Let us see what the Seraphim see. Let us be awestruck by the beauty of the God-man. In the name of Jesus we ask that.” MenHeartSpiritAsksJesusNamesLostChurchLordFireOne ThingHolyRiversReleaseHoly SpiritRevelationsFountainHardenedLovesicknessAwestruck Author:Mike Bickle

“Why did the old Persians hold the sea holy? Why did the Greeks give it a separate deity, and own brother Jove? Surely all this is not without meaning. And still deeper the meaning of that story of Narcissus, who because he could not grasp the tormenting mild image he saw in the fountain, plunged into it and was drowned. But that same image, we ourselves see in all rivers and oceans. It is the image of the ungraspable phantom of life; and this is the key to it all.” GivingStillsStoriesSawsSeaBrotherKeysHolyOceanRiversDeeperGreekFountainDeitiesPhantomsNarcissus Book:Moby Dick Source: Moby Dick
