Consciousness would flow into some other life form and express itself through that, whatever that would be.” HumansWould BeAbleFormConsciousnessProducePlanetsFlowHuman Life Author:Eckhart Tolle
“Parents ought, through their own behavior and the values by which they live, to provide direction for their children. But they need to rid themselves of the idea that there are surefire methods which, when well applied, will produce certain predictable results. Whatever we do with and for our children ought to flow from our understanding of and our feelings for the particular situation and the relation we wish to exist between us and our child.” NeedsWellsChildrenIdeasFeelingsCertainValuesWishParentUnderstandingResultsSituationProduceParticularOughtBehaviorFlowRelationOur ChildrenMethodPredictable Author:Bruno Bettelheim
“The flow of action continually produces consequences which are unintended by actors, and these unintended consequences also may form unacknowledged conditions of actions in a feedback fashion. Human history is created by intentional activities but is not an intended project; it persistently eludes efforts to bring it under conscious direction.” HumansMayActionFormActorsEffortConditionsFashionProduceActivityProjectsConsciousConsequenceFlowFeedbackHuman HistoryEludeUnintended Consequences Author:Anthony Giddens
“Of these five vital principles, Love is the foremost. It is Love that flows as the under-current for the other four values. How does it flow this way? When Love is associated with our thoughts, it manifests itself as Truth. When Love is associated with feelings, it produces Peace. When Love animates actions, it results in Right Action. When Love is combined with understanding it becomes Non-violence. Therefore whenever you feel angry, think of love, develop thoughts of love in your heart. You will have peace.” ThinkingWayFeelsHeartDoeFeelingsActionValuesUnderstandingLove IsResultsPrinciplesFiveFourViolenceProduceFlowAngryCurrentsOur ThoughtsNon ViolenceRight Action Author:Sathya Sai Baba
