Numbers

“Numbers, as archetypal structural constants of the collective unconscious, possess a dynamic, active aspect which is especially important to keep in mind. It is not what we can do with numbers but what they do to our consciousness that is essential.”

–Marie-Louise von Franz (German-born Swiss Jungian Psychologist and Author, 1915-1998)

“The simple beauty of a crystal is, in part, its strict mathematical order. Through the study of number and shape we begin to apprehend the cosmic order.”           

–Michael S. Schneider (American Teacher, Writer and Adjunct Professor at the California College of the Arts, 1951-)

Your Traveling Consciousness

“Your consciousness can travel at the speed of slow trains, it can travel at the speed of Light, and it can travel even faster. Hence, time and space are functions of consciousness. Consciousness is out of the scope of time and space…”  

–Peter Konstantinov Deunov (a.k.a. Master Beinsa Douno, Bulgarian Spiritual Master and Founder of a School of Esoteric Christianity, 1864-1944)      

{Youth Esoteric Class, year 1, lecture 13, Contradictions in Life, 24 May 1922}

Many Worlds of Consciousness

“The whole drift of my education goes to persuade me that the present world of our consciousness is only one of many worlds of consciousness that exist.”

Planetary Consciousness

“Mind does not operate as the servant of the egos of individuals, or of any situations in historical time or local space. It operates in terms of the evolution of the entire system – and in relation to the galactic whole of which this heliocosm is but a small cellular unit. It operates in terms of planetary consciousness.”

–Dane Rudhyar (a.k.a. Daniel Chenneviere, French-born American Composer, Theosophist and Astrologer, 1895-1985)               

“Occult Preparations for a New Age (A Quest book)” (Dane Rudhyar)

Bhagavad-Gita As It Is

Witness Consciousness

Nisargadatta Maharaj.jpg

“Discover all you are not. Body, feelings, thoughts, ideas, time, space, being and not being, this or that – nothing concrete or abstract you can point out to is you. You must watch yourself continuously – particularly your mind – moment by moment, missing nothing. This witnessing is essential for the separation of the self from the not-self … be aware of that state which is only, simply being, without being this or that or the other.”

–Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj (Indian Spiritual Teacher and Exponent of Jnana Yoga and Advaita Doctrine, 1897-1981)
