“Death is the gate of life. Ingratitude is the soul's enemy... Ingratitude is a burning wind that dries up the source of love, the dew of mercy, the streams of grace. You will find something far greater in the woods than you will find in books. Stones and trees will teach you that which you will never learn from masters.” BookSoulEnemyTeachGreaterGraceTreeWindMastersSourceStonesMercyWoodsBurningStreamsGatesDewIngratitude Author:Bernard of Clairvaux
“Everything - a bird, a tree, even a simple stone, and certainly a human being - is ultimately unknowable. This is because it has unfathomable depth. All we can perceive, experience, think about, is the surface layer of reality, less than the tip of an iceberg. Underneath the surface appearance, everything is not only connected with everything else, but also with the Source of all life out of which it came. Even a stone, and more easily a flower or a bird, could show you the way back to God, to the Source, to yourself.” ThinkingWayHumansShowsRealityHuman BeingsSimpleTreeFlowerSourceBirdStonesDepthAppearanceConnectedSurfacePerceiveLayersUnfathomableIceberg Book:A New Earth (Oprah #61): Awakening to Your Life's Purpose Source: A New Earth (Oprah #61): Awakening to Your Life's Purpose
“Every living thing, animal or human, or tree experiences that which is called death, with no exception. You've all accepted that one a long time ago. Spirit, which is who we really are, or Source, is eternal. So what death must be is a changing of the perspective of that Eternal Spirit. If I am standing in my physical body and am consciously connected to that Eternal Spirit, then I'm Eternal in nature and I need not ever again fear any endedness, because, from that perspective I understand that there is not any of that.” IfsNeedsHumansLongBodySpiritChangeAnimalTreeSourcePerspectiveEternalLong TimeStandingConnectedAcceptedExceptionLiving ThingsLong Time AgoPhysical Body Author:Esther Hicks
“The sooner we switch away from carbon-based fuel and start relying on renewable energy sources available in the United States, the sooner we will grow our economy by creating the millions of new jobs that will come from retrofitting homes and businesses, building smart grids, renewable energy systems and planting trees and all the rest. We need to create a lot of jobs that can't be outsourced.” NeedsStatesHomeJobsEnergyGrowsUnitedMillionsUnited StatesEconomyTreeBuildingSourceCreatingSmartAvailableFuelCarbonRenewable EnergyNew JobGridsEnergy SourcesRenewable Energy SourcesOutsourced Author:Al Gore
“With time environmental issues got much more complicated. It is pretty easy, if you know what you are doing, to stop a company from pouring poison into a lake where kids swim. It is much harder to address all the myriad greenhouse gases emitted by different sources - from petrochemical refineries to hundreds of millions of peasants cutting down trees for their incredibly inefficient cook stoves.” IfsKnowsDifferentKidsEasyCompanyMillionsIssuesCuttingTreeSourceHarderEnvironmentalComplicatedCooksPoisonAddressesLakesSwimPeasantsPouringGreenhousesGreenhouse GasesStovesEnvironmental IssuesCutting DownRefinery Author:Denis Hayes
