“We witness a strange inversion: on the one hand, the endeavor to turn the social contract into a less calculating and more feeling connection among its members; on the other hand, the endeavor to turn the erotic relationship into a contractual one.” FeelingsHandsTurnsSocialStrangeMembersConnectionsWitnessEndeavorContractsEroticCalculatingSocial ContractInversions Book:Love and Friendship Source: Love and Friendship
“The intuitive connection children feel with animals can be a tremendous source of joy.

“I can only be as good as [the audience members] at acknowledging and owning the information that's coming through ... and sometimes, nobody comes through....

“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.

We do not deny this, even though the connection is impervious to our senses.” ThinkingDoeShowsActionGivenForceSpaceLevelsMembersFindingsResearchDiscoveryEmptyConnectionsDistanceSpeciesDenySensesInvisibleOnenessRemarkableQuantumOur ThoughtsOur ActionsParticlesEmpty SpaceScientific DiscoveryImpervious Author:Wayne Dyer
“Family values represent the core values and guidelines that parents and family members hold in high regard for the well-being of the family. Sincere family feelings are core heart feelings. They are the basis for true family values. While we have differences, we remain family by virtue of our heart connection. Family provides necessary security and support, and acts as a buffer against external problems. A family made up of secure people generates a magnetic power that can get things done. They are the hope for real security in a stressful world.” PeopleWorldWellsHeartMadeRealDoneFeelingsProblemValuesParentDifferencesSupportVirtueSecurityMembersConnectionsBasesRegardCoreSecureWell BeingSincereThings DoneStressfulFamily MembersMagneticFamily ValuesCore ValuesGuidelinesTrue Family Author:Doc Childre

“There was sort of a negative association with the military. Maybe growing up in the South or being in a family with members of the military, I didn't have that negative connotation, but I did have this 'separate' connotation.
