“My external sensations are no less private to my self than are my thoughts or my feelings. In either case my experience falls within my own circle, a circle closed on the outside... the whole world for each is peculiar and private to that soul.” WorldSoulSelfWholeFeelingsFallMy OwnExistenceCasesElementsCirclesWhole WorldSensationsSurroundPeculiarSpheresMy ThoughtsOpaque Author:F.

“I was standing on the highest mountain of them all, and round about beneath me was the whole hoop of the world. And while I stood there I saw more than I can tell and I understood more than I saw; for I was seeing in a sacred manner the shapes of all things in the spirit, and the shape of all shapes as they must live together like one being. And I saw that the sacred hoop of my people was one of many hoops that made one circle, wide as daylight and as starlight, and in the center grew one mighty flowering tree to shelter all children of one mother and one father. And I saw that it was holy.” PeopleWorldChildrenMadeI CanWholeTogetherSpiritMotherFatherSawsSeeingTreeGrewHolyShapesMountainHighestUnderstoodStandingAll ThingsSacredRoundsWideCirclesNativeNative AmericanShelterMother EarthDaylightFloweringNative AmericaNative American IndianStarlightNative American EarthNative American Indian InspirationalSacred ThingsFlowering Trees Author:Black Elk

“Every question "runs in a vicious circle" because political life as a whole is an endless chain consisting of an infinite number of links. The whole art of politics lies in finding and taking as firm a grip as we can of the link that is least likely to be struck from our hands, the one that is most important at the given moment, the one that most of all guarantees its possessor the possession of the whole chain.” ArtImportantWholeMomentsHandsRunningPoliticalLyingGivenNumbersFindingsInfinitePossessionCirclesEndlessChainsFirmGuaranteesLinksViciousPolitical LifeVicious Circles Book:What Is to Be Done?

“Each of the parts of philosophy is a philosophical whole, a circle rounded and complete in itself. In each of these parts, however, the philosophical Idea is found in a particular specificality or medium. The single circle, because it is a real totality, bursts through the limits imposed by its special medium, and gives rise to a wider circle. The whole of philosophy in this way resembles a circle of circles. The Idea appears in each single circle, but, at the same time, the whole Idea is constituted by the system of these peculiar phases, and each is a necessary member of the organisation.” WayGivingIdeasRealPhilosophyWholeFoundSpecialParticularLimitsMembersPhilosophicalCirclesMediumsPeculiarPhasesOrganisationTotality Author:Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
“Hence I feel no shame in asserting that this whole region engirdled by the moon, and the center of the earth, traverse this grand circle amid the rest of the planets in an annual revolution around the sun. Near the sun is the center of the universe. Moreover, since the sun remains stationary, whatever appears as a motion of the sun is really due rather to the motion of the earth.” FeelsWholeEarthUniverseSunPlanetsRevolutionMoonShameRemainsDuesCirclesRegionsAnnualsCenter Of The UniverseStationaryTraverse Book:Nicholas Copernicus on the revolutions Source: Nicholas Copernicus on the revolutions
“Wherefore a monk's whole attention should thus be fixed on one point, and the rise and circle of all his thoughts be vigorously restricted to it; viz., to the recollection of God, as when a man, who is anxious to raise on high a vault of a round arch, must constantly draw a line round from its exact centre, and in accordance with the sure standard it gives discover by the laws of building all the evenness and roundness required.” MenGivingShouldWholeLawLinesAttentionBuildingDrawsStandardsRaisesRoundsCirclesFixedAnxiousCentreMonkRecollectionArchesVaults Book:John Cassian Collection [4 Books] Source: John Cassian Collection [4 Books]
“I think that what these psychedelics do, is they actually do connect you to the whole circle. You stand outside of the moment from which you embarked on your psychedelic experience, and you see eternity like a vast landscape deployed in front of you. So what I think psychedelics are is they're about time, and they somehow make all time co-present.” ThinkingWholeMomentsFrontsEternityCirclesAll TimeLandscapeStanding OutPsychedelicPsychedelic Experience Author:Terence McKenna
