The Moment of Insight
“At the moment of insight, a potential pattern of organized behavior comes into being.”
–Rupert Sheldrake (English Biologist, Researcher and Author, 1942-)
Ordering Our Chaos
“The human word is neither immortal nor invulnerable; but it is the power that orders our chaos, and the light by which we live.”
–Northrop Frye (Canadian Literary Critic, 1912-1991)
The Pattern of Life
“It was curious how life seemed to weave a pattern that was not in the least haphazard, as it so often seemed to be.”
–R. F. Delderfield (English Novelist and Dramatist, 1912-1972)
The Spirit That Binds
“When the social body comes together as a whole, it is Spirit that binds the parts, the same Spirit that synthesized the metals and minerals in our Earth, that organizes the cells in our bodies into stupendous communities of trillions of cells.”
–Barbara Marx Hubbard (American Futurist, Public Speaker and Writer, 1929-)
Organic Organization
“Organisms shape themselves in response to their neighbors and their environments. All respond to one another, co-evolving and co-creating the complex systems of organization that we see in nature. Life is systems-seeking. It seeks organization. Organization is a naturally occurring phenomenon. Self-organization is the powerful force by which Gaia created herself through relationships, creating all the living systems we see. She knows how to organize from the inside out, from partnering with neighbors rather than from imposition and control.”
–Margaret J. Wheatley (American Writer and Expert in Organization Behavior and Systems Thinking, 1944-)
{“Reclaiming Gaia, Reclaiming Life”}
Health Is Organized Matter, Energy and Thought
“What does health represent? Organized matter, organized energy, organized thought.”
–Peter Konstantinov Deunov (a.k.a. Master Beinsa Douno, Bulgarian Spiritual Master and Founder of a School of Esoteric Christianity, 1864-1944)
“Prophet for Our Times: The Life and Teachings of Peter Deunov” (Peter Duenov)
Cosmos Not Chaos
“In the last analysis the world is a system of homogeneous relationships – it is a cosmos, not a chaos. This belief is the foundation of Chinese philosophy, as of all philosophy.”
–Richard Wilhelm (German Sinologist, Theologian and Missionary, 1873-1930)
“The I Ching or Book of Changes” (Princeton University Press)
