“Your life is a reflection of your past thoughts. That includes all the great things, and all the things you consider not so great... Think thoughts of abundance and wealth, and do not allow any contradictory thoughts to take root.” ThinkingPastLife IsWealthReflectionRootsGreat ThingsAbundanceOur PastContradictoryYour Past Author:Rhonda Byrne
“When I look over my past, I see that the stages in my life are like the phases of the moon. I've had periods where I was the waxing gibbous: fat with wealth and success. There have been other seasons when my happiness was like the waning crescent and I watched my joy fade away slowly, merging with the atmosphere around me as if it never existed. Then I felt as if I was left with nothing more than an illusion, but happiness returns in time and glows once more in corpulent fullness. It's time that makes the difference.” IfsLooksHas BeensPastJoyLeftFeltDifferencesWealthStageReturnPeriodsMoonIllusionSeasonsFatsAtmosphereFadesPhasesFullnessMy PastFade AwayMergingCrescentWaxingWealth And SuccessPhases Of The Moon Author:Amy Neftzger
“There is, however, no advantage in reflections on the past further than may be of service to the present. For the future we must provide by maintaining what the present gives us and redoubling our efforts; it is hereditary to us to win virtue as the fruit of labour, and you must not change the habit, even though you should have a slight advantage in wealth and resources; for it is not right that what was won in want should be lost in plenty.” WantGivingShouldMayPastWinningLostWealthEffortVirtueHabitReflectionResourcesAdvantageShould HaveFruitPlentyLabourMaintainingHereditary Book:The Peloponnesian War Source: The Peloponnesian War
“If we have learned anything in the past ten years, it is that these lovely things about America were never lovely. We have been expansionist and aggressive and mean to other people from the beginning. And we've been aggressive and mean to people in this country, and we've allocated the wealth of this country in a very unjust way. We've never had justice in our courts for the poor people, for black people, for radicals. Now how can we boast that America is a very special place? It's not that special. It really isn't.” PeopleIfsWayYearsMeanHas BeensCountryAmericaPastBlackWealthJusticePoorSpecialTenCourtLovelyRadicalAggressiveBlack PeopleUnjustPoor PeopleBoastSpecial PlacesLovely Things Author:Howard Zinn
“There is the past and its continuing horrors: violence, war, prejudices against those who are different, outrageous monopolization of the good earth's wealth by a few, political power in the hands of liars and murderers, the building of prisons instead of schools, the poisoning of the press and the entire culture by money. It is easy to become discouraged observing this, especially since this is what the press and television insist that we look at, and nothing more.” LooksDifferentWarHandsSchoolEarthPastPoliticalCultureEasyWealthViolenceTelevisionBuildingHorrorPrejudicePressesPrisonLiarsContinuingMurdererDiscouragedObservingOutrageousPolitical PowerPoisoningGood Earth Book:A People's History of the United States: 1492-Present Source: A People's History of the United States: 1492-Present
“To experience thinking outside the brain is to enter a world of instantaneous connections that make ordinary thinking (i.e those aspects limited by the physical brain and the speed of light_ seem like some hopelessly sleepy and plodding event. Our truest, deepest self is completely free. It is not crippled or compromised by past actions or concerned with identity or status. It comprehends that it has no need to fear the earthly world, and therefore, it has no need to build itself up through fame or wealth or conquest.” ThinkingWorldNeedsSelfSeemsActionPastWealthBrainEventsIdentityFameOrdinaryConcernedAspectConnectionsSpeedConquestTruestSleepyCrippledInstantaneousSpeed Of Light Author:Eben Alexander

“I also believe - and hope - that politics and economics will cease to be as important in the future as they have been in the past; the time will come when most of our present controversies on these matters will seem as trivial, or as meaningless, as the theological debates in which the keenest minds of the Middle Ages dissipated their energies. Politics and economics are concerned with power and wealth, neither of which should be the primary, still less the exclusive, concern of full-grown men.” MenShouldMindBelieveHas BeensStillsImportantMatterSeemsAgePastEnergyWealthMiddleConcernConcernedEconomicsDebateCeasePrimariesMeaninglessControversyExclusiveMiddle AgesTheologicalGrown ManPolitics And Economics Author:Arthur C.
