“Religious teachings and teachers have conditioned us to think of faith as a magic catalyst that makes God work for us. In no way does faith make God work nor does it release some kind of miracle power. Faith simply tunes into and turns on the divine flow that has always been present” ThinkingWayKindDoeTurnsReligiousTeacherMagicTeachingDivineFlowMiracleReleaseTunesCatalystTeachers And Teaching Author:Eric Butterworth
“Terence, this is stupid stuff: You eat your victuals fast enough; There can't be much amiss, 'tis clear, To see the rate you drink your beer. But oh, good Lord, the verse you make, It gives a chap the belly-ache. The cow, the old cow, she is dead; It sleeps well the horned head: We poor lads, 'tis our turn now To hear such tunes as killed the cow. Pretty friendship 'tis to rhyme Your friends to death before their time. Moping, melancholy mad: Come, pipe a tune to dance to, lad.” GivingWellsEnoughTurnsStuffSleepPoorLordClearStupidDrinkHumorousMadRateBeerTunesMelancholyCowsVersesRhymeBellyAchePipeLadChapsSleep Well Author:A.

“Individual societies begin in harmonious adaptation to the environment and, like individuals, quickly get trapped into nonadaptive, artificial, repetitive sequences. When the individual's behavior and consciousness get hooked to a routine sequence of external actions, he is a dead robot, and it is time for him to die and be reborn. Time to "drop out," "turn on," and "tune in.” ActionDiesTurnsIndividualConsciousnessEnvironmentBehaviorTunesRoutineArtificialTrappedRobotsAdaptationSequenceTurn-onHarmoniousHookedRebornRepetitive Book:Turn On, Tune In, Drop Out Source: Turn On, Tune In, Drop Out
“Drop Out--detach yourself from the external social drama which is as dehydrated and ersatz as TV. Turn On--find a sacrament which returns you to the temple of God, your own body. Go out of your mind. Get high. Tune In--be reborn. Drop back in to express it. Start a new sequence of behavior that reflects your vision.” MindBodyTurnsSocialVisionTvsReturnDramaBehaviorTunesTemplesSacramentsSequenceTurn-onRebornGetting High Book:Turn On, Tune In, Drop Out Source: Turn On, Tune In, Drop Out
“Actions which are conscious expressions of the turn-on, tune-in, drop-out rhythm are religious.The wise person devotes his life exclusively to the religious search - for therein is found the only ecstasy, the only meaning. Anything else is a competitive quarrel over (or Hollywood-love sharing of) studio props.” PersonsActionTurnsFoundReligiousWiseExpressionConsciousHollywoodStudiosRhythmTunesEcstasyQuarrelsTurn-onPropsWise Person Author:Timothy Leary
