The Mystery of Creation

“The creative element in the mind of man . . . emerges in as mysterious a fashion as those elementary particles which leap into momentary existence in great cyclotrons, only to vanish again like infinitesimal ghosts.”

–Loren Eiseley (American Anthropologist and Writer, 1907-1977)

Influencing With the Flowing Energy of the Self

“Energy is increased in solitude. If you are filled with the energy of the Self, that energy flows out of you and nourishes everyone in your vicinity. You don’t have to direct this power outwards, this energy will flow of its own accord.”

–Annamalai Swami (Indian Spiritual Teacher and Personal Attendant of Ramana Maharshi, 1906-1995)

The Satisfaction of Action

“Look at a day when you are supremely satisfied at the end. It’s not a day when you lounge around doing nothing; it’s when you’ve had everything to do, and you’ve done it.”

–Margaret Thatcher (English Statesman and, from 1979-1990, British Prime Minister, 1925-)

“The Art of Peace is the principle of nonresistance. Because it is nonresistant, it is victorious from the beginning. Those with evil intentions or contentious thoughts are instantly vanquished. The Art of Peace is invincible because it contends with nothing.”

–Morihei Ueshiba (Japanese Martial Artist and Founder of Aikido, 1883-1969)   


“The Art of Peace” (Morihei Ueshiba)

–Glynis Nunn (Australian Heptathlete, 1960-)

How Should Water Know?

You have a purpose: or rather tow of them that are interlinked. One is your personal purpose, and the other your Higher Purpose. An important part of attaining your Innate Freedom is to find and realize them. Yet many of us have no idea that they even exist!

“And how should a beautiful, ignorant stream of water know it heads for an early release – out across the desert, running toward the Gulf, below sea level, to murmur its lullaby, and see the Imperial Valley rise out of burning sand with cotton blossoms, wheat, watermelons, roses, how should it know?”  

–Carl Sandburg


 (American Writer and Poet, 1878-1967)

“Good Morning America” (Carl Sandburg)

Engaging With Life

–Russell Baker


 (American Pulitzer Prize Winning Author, 1925-)

The Value of Moments

“The value of moments, when cast up, is immense, if well employed; if thrown away, their loss is irrevocable.”      

–Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl of Chesterfield


 (English Statesman and Author, 1694-1773)

–Morihei Ueshiba (Japanese Martial Artist and Founder of Aikido, 1883-1969)
