Are You A Hologram?
“Each part of the universe contains enough information to reconstitute the whole. The form and structure of the entire world is enfolded within each part.”
–Larry Dossey (American Physician, Editor and Writer, 1940-)
Joy Unlimited
“A Course in Miracles: Combined Volume” (Dr. Helen Schucman)
“Joy is unlimited, because each shining thought of love extends its being and creates more of itself.”
–A Course in Miracles (Book of Spiritual Principles Scribed by Dr. Helen Schucman between 1965 and 1975, and First Published in 1976) (T22.VI 14:8)
The Process of Wholeness
“The one ever becomes many and the many are ever reunited with and in the one. This process constitutes wholeness.”
–Beatrice Bruteau (American Philosopher and Author best known for her work in Spiritual Evolution, 1930-)
“The Goddess Re-Awakening: The Feminine Principle Today” (The Theosophical Publishing House)
Interdependence
“Each particle of consciousness is dependent upon every other. The strength of one adds to the strength of all. The weakness of one weakens the whole. The energy of one recreates the whole. The striving of one increases the potentiality of everything that is.”
–Jane Roberts (American Author, Poet, Psychic and Spirit Medium, 1929-1984)
“The “Unknown” Reality, Vol. 1: A Seth Book” (Seth, Jane Roberts)
Faith, Reason and Reality
“I will be mindful of the first principle of our great period, never to rely on and let myself be disconcerted by reason, always to know that faith is stronger than so-called reality.”
–Hermann Hesse (German-born Swiss Novelist, Poet and, in 1946, Winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature, 1877-1962)
Spiritual Magnetism
“He [Peter Deunov] is the greatest spiritual magnet yet able to appear on the earth. He will magnetize his disciples with the magnetism of love, and they in turn will transmit this magnetism to humankind as a whole.”
–René Guénon (a.k.a. Shaykh `Abd al-Wahid Yahya, French Intellectual, Metaphysician and Writer on the Perennial Philosophy, 1886-1951)
Conquer Doubt and Fear
“He who has conquered doubt and fear has conquered failure. Doubt has killed more splendid projects, shattered more ambitious schemes, strangled more effective geniuses, neutralized more superb efforts, blasted more fine intellects, thwarted more splendid ambitions than any other enemy of the human race.”
–James Allen (English Mystic and Author, 1864-1912)
If You Don’t Like It, Change It
I just heard someone complain about how much she disliked her current place of work. I suggested – very gently – that if she so hated it, then she needed to change it or change her way of thinking. Sadly my advice went down like a lead balloon.
So I offered this fine statement instead:
“Sister, there were people who went to sleep last night, poor and rich and white and black, but they will never wake again. And those dead folks would give anything at all for just five minutes of this weather or ten minutes of plowing. So you watch yourself about complaining. What you’re supposed to do when you don’t like a thing is change it. If you can’t change it, change the way you think about it.”
–Maya Angelou (African-American Poet, Writer and Performer, 1928-)
Courage
“If the highest aim of a captain were to preserve his ship, he would keep it in port forever.”
–Saint Thomas Aquinas (Italian Dominican Friar, Theologian and Philosopher, 1225-1274)
Noticing Happiness
“Everyone chases after happiness, not noticing that happiness is at their heels.”
–Bertolt Brecht (German Playwright, 1898-1956)
