“In America, religious dissent is as vital as it is elusive. Like the secretions of the pituitary, the juices of dissent are essential to ongoing life even if we do not always know precisely how, when or where they perform their tasks, and the not knowing - the flimsy, filmy elusiveness - is supremely characteristic of America's expressions of religious dissent. For in the United States no stalwart orthodoxy stands ever ready to parry the sharp thrust or clever feints of dissent.” IfsKnowsStatesAmericaReligiousUnitedUnited StatesKnowingAtheismReadyExpressionEssentialsTasksCleverCharacteristicsNot KnowingJuiceOngoingDissentThrustOrthodoxyElusiveStalwartElusiveness Author:Edwin Gaustad
“The body has a wisdom of its own. However, slowly and circuitously that wisdom manifests, once it is experienced it is a foundation, a basis of knowing that gives confidence to the ego. To reach its wisdom requires absolute concentration: dropping the mind into the body, breathing into whatever is ready to be released, and allowing the process of expression until the negative dammed up energy is out, making room for the positive energy, genuine Light, to flood in.” GivingMindBodyLightEnergyProcessRoomsKnowingReadyExpressionEgoNegativeBasesAbsolutesFoundationGenuineBreathingConcentrationAllowingFloodDroppingPositive Energy Author:Marion Woodman
“There's a great difference between knowing that a thing is so, and knowing how to use that knowledge for the good of mankind. Thetrouble with a scientist is we quickly tire of our discoveries. We hand them over to people who are not ready for them, while we go off again into the darkness of ignorance, searching for other discoveries, which will be mishandled in just the same way when the time comes.” PeopleWayUseHandsScienceDifferencesDarknessKnowingMankindIgnoranceReadyDiscoveryScientistTireNot Ready Author:Jimmy Sangster

“To find the point where hypothesis and fact meet; the delicate equilibrium between dream and reality; the place where fantasy and earthly things are metamorphosed into a work of art; the hour when faith in the future becomes knowledge of the past; to lay down one's power for others in need; to shake off the old ordeal and get ready for the new; to question, knowing that never can the full answer be found; to accept uncertainties quietly, even our incomplete knowledge of God; this is what man's journey is about, I think.” ThinkingMenLifeNeedsArtFactsDreamRealityPastFoundHoursAnswersAcceptingFantasyKnowingJourneyReadyLaysUncertaintyShakesWorks Of ArtDelicateHypothesisIncompleteEquilibriumDreams And RealityKnowledge Of GodOrdealsEarthly ThingsKnowledge Of The PastIncomplete Knowledge Author:Lillian Smith
“A man in trouble laments that he did not listen to his teachers, and thus he finds himself in a sad state, utter ruin. A candid admission of a blunder is refreshing and not often heard in human affairs. It is the saint alone who is large-minded enough to think and speak in this way. This is part of his authenticity.The person who is swift to hear and slow to respond is a stranger to an all-knowing illuminism. He believes that others, too, have some truth, and he is willing to be instructed by them. He is ready for the mind of God.” ThinkingMenWayMindBelieveHumansPersonsStatesEnoughSpeakKnowingTeacherTroubleHeardWillingReadyAffairSaintStrangerAuthenticityRuinsRefreshingBlundersAdmissionLamentCandid Author:Thomas Dubay
“When I started acting, I had a really strong discipline of knowing that you had to be on time, knowing that you had to work 12 to 16 hours a day, knowing you had to be prepared, knowing you had to be ready, and it's very interesting because if you're an artist and you're creating, you can work very, very long hours but as you're putting out that love of creation, it's almost like you're charged by it, you're charged by the process of it.” IfsLongArtistStrongProcessHoursInterestingActingKnowingCreationReadyLike YouDisciplineCreatingPreparedBe PreparedVery InterestingLong Hours Author:Jaime King
