Here’s something that’s hardly ever discussed, yet it is critically important for everything from metaphysics to medicine:
“According to real, exact knowledge, one force, or two forces, can never produce a phenomenon. The presence of a third force is necessary, for it is only with the help of a third force that the first two can produce.”
–George Gurdjieff (Armenian-born Adept, Teacher and Writer, c.1873-1949)
“In recognizing the Divine Spark in another human being, we also awaken it and activate it in ourselves; and the wheel turns as well the other way, knowing it in ourselves, we recognize it in others.”
–Peter Roche de Coppens (American Writer and Professor of Sociology, Anthropology and Psychotherapy at East Stroudsburg University of Pennsylvania)
“Whosoever wishes to know about the world must learn about it in its particular details. Knowledge is not intelligence. In searching for the truth be ready for the unexpected. Change alone is unchanging. The same road goes both up and down. The beginning of a circle is also its end. Not I, but the world says it: all is one. And yet everything comes in season.”
–Heraclitus of Ephesus (Greek Philosopher, c.540-480 B.C.)
“Change is the law of life. And those who look only to the past or present are certain to miss the future.”
–John Fitzgerald Kennedy (American Statesman and, from 1961-1963, 35th President of the United States, 1917-1963)
“We cannot win enlightenment for ourselves unless we are seeking it for all. Equally, however, we cannot be loving and kind to others, unless we are the same to ourselves.”
–Hugh l’Anson Fausset (English Writer, Literary Critic, Biographer,Poet and Scholar, 1895-1965)
“Never doubt that a small, group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has.”
–Margaret Mead (American Anthropologist and Writer, 1901-1978)
“Willpower is the energy of the Creative Principle in the Universe. It is the power that creates, sustains, and destroys. Because everything is emanated from this principle, the Core of every atom, cell, form, entity, and soul has its own willpower.
It is the inner Core or inner Divine Spark that is a portion of that energy of the Creative Principle of the Universe. It is this willpower that gradually paves the way for you to direct your steps toward Home, toward the source of the Creative Principle.”
–Torkom Saraydarian (Armenian-born American Spiritual Teacher, Musician and Writer, 1917-1997)
“Reason guides our attempt to understand the world about us. Both reason and compassion guide our efforts to apply that knowledge ethically, to understand other people, and have ethical relationships with other people.”
–Molleen Matsumura (Director of the National Center for Science Education, 1948-)
“No matter how great the disturbances, how persistent and for how long they may continue, their effects are temporary. The universally operative law causes harmonious equilibrium to be restored in the disequiliberated region.”
–Geoffrey Hodson (English-born New Zealand Theosophist, Mystic, Teacher and Author, 1886-1983)
“Till now man has been up against Nature; from now on he will be up against his own nature.”
–Dennis Gabor (Hungarian-born British Scientist, Developer of Holography and, in 1971, Winner of the Nobel Prize in Physics, 1900-1979)
