“Monks, we who look at the whole and not just the part, know that we too are systems of interdependence, of feelings, perceptions, thoughts, and consciousness all interconnected.

“Autism isn't something a person has, or a shell that a person is trapped inside. There's no normal child hidden behind the autism. Autism is a way of being. It is pervasive; it colors every experience, every sensation, perception, thought, emotion and encounter - every aspect of existence. It is not possible to separate the autism from the person – and if it were possible, the person you'd have left would not be the same person you started with.” IfsWayChildrenPersonsLeftEmotionBehindsExistenceColorNormalPerceptionAspectEncountersSensationsTrappedShellsAutism Author:Jim Sinclair
“Birth Matters... It matters because it is the way we all begin our lives outside of our source, our mother's bodies. It's the means from which we enter and feel our first impression of the wider world. For each mother, it is an event that shakes and shapes her to her innermost core. Women's perceptions about their bodies and their babies' capabilities will be deeply influenced by the care they receive around the time of birth.” WorldWayFeelsFirstsMeanMatterBodyCareMotherOur LivesEventsSourceBabyBirthShapesPerceptionCoreImpressionShakesCapabilityFirst Impression Book:Birth Matters: How What We Don't Know About Nature, Bodies, and Surgery Can Hurt Us Source: Birth Matters: How What We Don't Know About Nature, Bodies, and Surgery Can Hurt Us
