“was revolution much more than one fast kick forward in the long process called evolution?

“The patriarchal, the Jewish, and the Christian dispensations, are evidently but the unfolding of one general plan. In the first we see the folded bud; in the second the expanded leaf; in the third the blossom and the fruit. And now, how sublime the idea of a religion thus commencing in the earliest dawn of time; holding on its way through all the revolutions of kingdoms and the vicissitudes of the race; receiving new forms, but always identical in spirit; and, finally, expanding and embracing in one great brotherhood the whole family of man! Who can doubt that such a religion was from God?” MenWayFirstsIdeasWholeChristianFormSpiritRaceChristianityDoubtPlansRevolutionThirdsFruitKingdomsDawnBrotherhoodReceivingSublimeLeafsExpandingHolding OnIdenticalBudUnfoldingWhole FamilyVicissitudes Book:Lectures on the Evidences of Christianity Source: Lectures on the Evidences of Christianity
“A love revolution is forming far out to sea like a series of waves that build on one another until the whole earth is consumed. The first set of waves releases a quickening anointing. The second set of waves, a love revolution. The third set of waves will sweep across the world and release a worldwide revival. I believe that we can position ourselves to catch this incoming set of waves that will release to you a "quickening spirit" or "quickening anointing." It is being released - now.

“When I was trying to figure out why lives have improved so much in the last 300 years, where we've gone from a third of kids dying before 5 to - by 1990 it was down to 10% - now it's down to 5%. And saying why, over all history, there were smart people, but that number didn't change. Average life span didn't change. What's magical about what's been deemed the Industrial Revolution?

“Western intellectuals, and also Third World intellectuals, were attracted to the Bolshevik counter-revolution because Leninism is, after all, a doctrine which says that the radical intelligentsia have a right to take state power and to run their countries by force, and that is an idea which is rather appealing to intellectuals.” WorldIdeasCountryStatesRunningForceRevolutionThirdsWesternDoctrineRadicalThird WorldBolsheviks Author:Noam Chomsky
“Use the head, use the heart, and if you can use both a tremendous revolution will happen. If you can use both you will become aware that you are the third force - neither; you are neither head nor heart; because if you can move so easily from one to another you cannot be either; you must be separate from both - then the witnessing arises; then the identification is broken. And that witnessing is what meditation is all about.” IfsHeartUseHappensMovingForceMeditationBrokenRevolutionThirdsAriseIdentification Author:Rajneesh
