“A good writer cannot avoid having social consciousness. I don't mean this about small pieces of writing, but about a big book. If it's a big book, there has to be more than one undertow.” IfsWritingMeanBookBigsSocialConsciousnessPiecesGood WritersSmall PiecesBig BookSocial ConsciousnessUndertow Author:Marguerite Young
“I think we ripple on into others, just like a stone puts its ripples into a brook. That, for me, too, is a source of comfort. It kind of, in a sense, negates the sense of total oblivion. Some piece of ourselves, not necessarily our consciousness, but some piece of ourselves gets passed on and on and on.” ThinkingKindConsciousnessPiecesSourceComfortStonesOblivionBrooksRipple Author:Irvin D.

“What is at the higher levels of meaning consciousness is like a hyperspace in which each point is equidistant from the other and where 'the center is everywhere and the circumference is nowhere'?

“I often reflect on what an extraordinary time (pun intended) it is to be alive here in the beginning of the twenty-first century. It took life billions of years to get to this point. It took humans thousands of years to piece together a meaningful understanding of our cosmos, our planet and ourselves. Think how fortunate we are to know this much. But think also of all that's yet to be discovered. Here's hoping the deep answers to the deep questions-from the nature of consciousness to the origin of life-will be found in not too much more time.” ThinkingKnowsYearsFirstsHumansTogetherFoundUnderstandingAnswersConsciousnessToo MuchPiecesAliveCenturyPlanetsTwentiesExtraordinaryBillionsMeaningfulFortunateCosmosMore TimeOur PlanetPunOrigin Of Life Book:Undeniable: Evolution and the Science of Creation Source: Undeniable: Evolution and the Science of Creation
“Within hours, tweetted piece of information you've just doled out has become a monsoon, a hurricane of tangible energy that is literally circulating the world.
