“We are, in fact, hyper-dimentional objects of some sort which cast a shadow into matter, and the shadow in matter is the body. And at death, what happens basically, is that the shadow withdraws, or the thing which cast the shadow withdraws, and metabolism ceases, and matter which had been organized into a dissipative structure in a very localized area, sustaining itself against entropy by cycling material in and degrading it and expelling it, that whole phenomenon ceases, but the thing which ordered it is not affected by that.” MatterWholeFactsBodyHappensObjectsMaterialsShadowAreasStructureCastsCeaseOrganizedAffectedPhenomenonCyclingSustainingHyperDegradingEntropyMetabolism Author:Terence McKenna
“Taking photographs is generally an act of 'looking at the object, whereas 'being seen' or 'showing' is what is most interest to one who does a self-portrait...self-portraits deny not only photography itself but the 20th century as an era as well...an inevitable phenomenon at the end of the 20th century.” WellsDoeEndsSelfInterestCenturyObjectsPhotographyPhotographDenyErasInevitablePhenomenonPortraits20th CenturySelf PortraitSelf Portrait Photography Author:Yasumasa Morimura
“In astrophysics, we care about how matter, motion and energy manifest in objects and phenomenon in the universe. Stars are born. They live out their lives. They die. Some of the ones that die explode. Our sun will not be one of those, but it will die. And it'll take Earth with us. So we make sure we have other destinations in mind when that happens. And I've got it on my calendar.” MindMatterHappensCareEarthDiesUniverseEnergyStarsBornSunObjectsDestinationPhenomenonManifestCalendarsAstrophysics Author:Neil deGrasse Tyson

“It came to my mind that in the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, in Indian spiritual literature, and in the Bhagavad Gita, and when I started reading about outstanding yogis and people of exceeding spiritual power such as Ramana Maharshi, or Yogananda, they all had the ability to do what we would call - I don't know what you would even call it - psychic phenomenon, magic, transform objects, be able to perceive the future, the past and the present simultaneously.” PeopleKnowsMindAblePastSpiritualReadingLiteratureAbilityMagicObjectsYogaIndianPerceivePhenomenonPsychicsOutstandingGitaYogiSpiritual PowerYoga Sutra Author:Fred Alan Wolf
