An Integrated Symbiotic Whole

“The Future Is Now: The Significance Of Precognition” (Arthur W. Osborn)




“Whenever we look at nature and at all phenomena we find it impossible to put our fingers on boundary lines which are definite limits of independent existence. A thing which seems to be separate from one point of view is found from another to be related, and therefore dependent on other existences. Nature is an integrated symbiotic Whole.”

–Arthur W. Osborne (English-born Australian Theosophist and Writer, 1891-1976)

Every SIngle Action Affects Us All

Living In A Unified Field

“Scientists – now familiar with field theory, ecological dynamics and the transactional nature of perception – can no longer see man as the independent observer of an alien and rigidly mechanical world of separate objects. The clearly mystical sensation of self-and-universe, or organism-and-environment, as a unified field or process seems to fit the facts.”          

–Alan W. Watts (English-born American Philosopher, Writer, Speaker and Expert in Comparative Religion, 1915-1973)

When We All First Became Part of a Giant Brain

“Then there is electricity, the demon, the angel, the mighty physical power, the all-pervading intelligence!” …

“Is it a fact — or have I dreamt it — that, by means of electricity, the world of matter has become a great nerve, vibrating thousands of miles in a breathless point of time? Rather, the round globe is a vast head, a brain, instinct with intelligence! Or, shall we say, it is itself a thought, nothing but a thought, and no longer the substance which we deemed it!”     

–Nathaniel Hawthorne (American Writer, 1804-1864)

Everything In Nature Is Attached to Everything Else

“When one tugs at a single thing in nature, he finds it attached to the rest of the world.”

–John Muir
 (Scottish-born American Naturalist, Writer, Founder of the Sierra Club, and “The Father of the National Park System,” 1838-1914)

Have You Yet Heard the Voice of Gaia?

“Increasing numbers of us have heard the Gaian voice and seen in our experience ways of being together that celebrate and affirm life. More and more we are in conversations where we speak of the great forces of life – love, purpose, soul, spirit, freedom, courage, integrity, meaning. The new story is being born in these conversations. We are learning to give voice to a different and fuller sense of who we are.”    

–Margaret J. Wheatley (American Writer and Expert in Organization Behavior and Systems Thinking, 1944-)

Seeing the Whole

Todd-Siler256.jpg




“We cannot possibly see the whole of what we are, if we persist in seeing the parts of our nature and nature’s parts as disassociated entities. Defining things without considering their relationships with other things is a fatal flaw in descriptive analysis.”       

–Todd Siler (American Visual Artist, Educator, Inventor and Author, 1953-)

“Breaking the Mind Barrier” (Todd Siler)

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)

A Vast Cosmic Orchestra

“Kinship with All Life” (J. Allen Boone)




“All living things are individual instruments through which the Mind of the Universe thinks, speaks and acts. We are all interrelated in a common accord, a common purpose and a common good. We are members of a vast cosmic orchestra, in which each living instrument is essential to the complementary and harmonious playing of the whole.”

–J. Allen Boone (American Author, Film Producer and Correspondent for the Washington Post who specialized in Nonverbal Communication with Animals, 1882-1965)

The Web of Life

David Loye 2.jpg




“Working with every conceivable kind of insect and animal from the protozoa upward, biologists have discovered a world of wondrously vast and orderly linkages and feedback loops between our environment and all organisms.”  

–David Loye (American Psychologist, Evolutionary Systems Theorist and Author, 1925-)
