“I feel as though I am trying to describe a three-dimensional experience while living in a two-dimension world. The appropriate words, descriptions, and concepts don't even exist in our current language. I have subsequently read the accounts of other people's near-death experiences and their portrayals of heaven and I am able to see the same limitations in their descriptions and vocabulary that I see in my own.” PeopleWorldFeelsTryingTwoGodAbleChristianThreeLanguageHeavenReligiousMy OwnConceptsAccountsCurrentsLimitationDimensionsAppropriateDescriptionVocabularyNear DeathPortrayalNear Death Experience Author:Mary C.

“The usual method of creation for most human beings is a three-step process involving thought, word, and deed or action. First comes thought; the formative idea; the initial concept. Then comes the word. Most thoughts ultimately form themselves into words, which are often then written or spoken. This gives added energy to the thought, pushing it out into the world, where it can be noticed by others. Finally, in some cases words are put into action, and you have what you call a result; a physical world manifestation of what all started with a thought.” WorldInspirationalGivingFirstsHumansIdeasActionFormThreeEnergyProcessReligiousHuman BeingsResultsStepsCasesWrittenCreationConceptsMethodDeedsManifestationPushingUsualInitialsInvolvingPushing It Book:Conversations with God: An Uncommon Dialogue Source: Conversations with God: An Uncommon Dialogue

The second question was, "Why are individuals throughout the world increasingly in conflict with and alienated from the organizations of which they're a part?" And the third was, "Why are society and the biosphere increasingly in disarray?"” WorldYearsWellsThreeAsksIndividualSocialReligiousSimpleBusinessConflictYears AgoOrganizationThirdsAffairManageBiosphereYear OneDisarray Author:Dee Hock
