“Man is distinguished from the brute animals in proportion as thought prevails over sense: but in the healthy processes of the mind, a balance is constantly maintained between the impressions from outward objects and the inward operations of the intellect:--for if there be an overbalance in the contemplative faculty, man thereby becomes the creature of mere meditation, and loses his natural power of action.” IfsThinkingMenMindActionProcessLosesNaturalAnimalMeditationObjectsBalanceHealthyCreaturesMereIntellectImpressionOperationsProportionFacultyInwardDistinguishedBrutesContemplative Book:Lectures Upon Shakspeare Source: Lectures Upon Shakspeare

Give every truth time to send down deep root into the heart.” GivingHeartSimpleViewsMeditationReflectionRootsCuriosityIntellectSpeculationRefinedRestlessnessMultiplicityDeep Roots Author:Francois Fenelon

“Catholicism is the big house of Christianity. It's got many, many rooms in it. And I've always been attracted to the rooms which are to do with prayer. The mystical strain is the strain whereby the whole day can be given over to prayer through what we call lectio divina, prayerful reading of Scripture, through practice of meditation of when one uses the imagination and the intellect with respect to images, and then finally, and most difficult of all, contemplation, where one empties the mind of all images and all ideas, all concepts, in order to be completely attentive to God.” MindIdeasWholeUseBigsOrderReadingHouseGivenDifficultImaginationPrayerRoomsChristianityPracticeMeditationConceptsIntellectScriptureContemplationCatholicismMysticalStrainPrayerfulBig Houses Author:Kevin Hart

“Transcendental meditation is like a car, a vehicle that allows you to go within. It's a mental technique. You're given a mantra - the mantra that Maharishi gives is very specific, and you start to dive into subtler levels of mind, subtler levels of intellect. You transcend the whole show, into pure bliss consciousness. From your first meditation, you say, "Whoa!" It's a unique experience, but a familiar experience.” GivingMindConsciousnessMeditationCarUniqueIntellectFamiliarBlissVehicleTranscendental Author:David Lynch

“I bow to all the seekers of truth. At the very outset, I have to say that truth is what it is. We cannot change it, we cannot transform it. We cannot compromise with it. It is what it is, it has been what it has been, and it will be what it has been. So it doesn't change. What is needed is that we have to change. So, what is the truth? Truth is that you are not this body, this mind; you are not these emotions, intellect or conditionings. Nor you are ego. So what are you ?
