Stuart WIlde pictures 020.jpg




“The concerns of Spirit-man are his levels of energy and the inner impact he creates for himself, not his staying alive. Spirit-man sees himself as eternal and prays only that his path may be well trod, with honor. He does not seek end results and is detached from concerns about life and death, political change, or social structure. Spirit-man rests within himself and is busy manipulating his own life, not the lives of others.”        

–Stuart Wilde (English-born Author, Lecturer and Humorist 1946-)

“Many people feel that in the contemplation of nature and in communication with other living things, they become aware of some kind of force, or something, behind this apparent mask which we see in front of us, and they call it God.”           

–Roman Kroitor (Canadian Filmmaker and Co-Inventor of IMAX, 1926-)

–Santiago Ramon y Cajal (Spanish Anatomist and, in 1906, Winner of the Nobel Prize for Medicine, 1852-1934)
