There is a Reality which is Indivisible, One, Alone, the Source and Being of all; not a thing, nor even a mind, but pure Spirit or clear Consciousness; and we are That and nothing but That, for That is our true Nature; and the only way to find It is to look steadily within, where are to be found utmost peace, unfading joy, and eternal life itself.

And you realise that you need nutrition from a higher source, something more valuable.

Antoine Wilson
If you set aside love and friendship and the bonds of family, luck, religion, and spirituality, the desire to better mankind, and music and art, and hunting and fishing and farming, self-importance, and public and private transportation from buses to bicycles, if you set all that aside money is what makes the world go around.

Clement Watt
The world is much too full of men who spend their lives without taking a step in any direction, afraid even to have a thought that is not already branded on the common mind of ordinary humanity.

Our cellphones are ostensibly keeping us more connected. But in reality they're helping us to more easily live our disconnected lives.

Adolf Hitler
The best way to take control over a people and control them utterly is to take a little of their freedom at a time, to erode rights by a thousand tiny and almost imperceptible reductions. In this way the people will not see those rights and freedoms being removed until past the point at which these changes cannot be reversed.

There is nothing in 5,000 years of economic history to justify the belief that human societies should structure their behavior around the demands of the marketplace.

José Mujica
I don’t feel poor. Poor people are those who only work to try to keep an expensive lifestyle, and always want more and more.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Things which matter most must never be at the mercy of things which matter least.

This is a team job, and you can't sit there and be a patient and wait for somebody else to create an effect on you.

At each moment there is negation of whatever is affirmed, sometimes with violence. Yet without this negation we might not have the possibility to evolve.

Alan Watts
Advice? I don’t have advice. Stop aspiring and start writing. If you’re writing, you’re a writer. Write like you’re a goddamn death row inmate and the governor is out of the country and there’s no chance for a pardon. Write like you’re clinging to the edge of a cliff, white knuckles, on your last breath, and you’ve got just one last thing to say, like you’re a bird flying over us and you can see everything, and please, for God’s sake, tell us something that will save us from ourselves. Take a deep breath and tell us your deepest, darkest secret, so we can wipe our brow and know that we’re not alone.

If people base their identity on identifying with authority, freedom causes anxiety. They must then conceal the victim in themselves by resorting to violence against others.

The Gospel of Thomas
When you make the two into one,
and when you make the inner like the outer
and the outer like the inner
and the upper like the lower,
and when you make male and female into a single one
then you will enter the Kingdom.

H.L. Mencken
The essence of science is that it is always willing to abandon a given idea, however fundamental it may seem to be, for a better one; the essence of theology is that it holds its truths to be eternal and immutable.

Josiah Quincy
Blandishments will not fascinate us, nor will threats of a "halter" intimidate. For, under God, we are determined that wheresoever, whensoever, or howsoever we shall be called to make our exit, we will die free men.

Michael Talbot
Our brains mathematically construct objective reality by interpreting frequencies that are ultimately projections from another dimension, a deeper order of existence that is beyond both space and time.

Nikola Tesla
The day science begins to study non-physical phenomena, it will make more progress in one decade than in all the previous centuries of its existence.

Marianne Williamson
No conventional therapy can release us from a deep and abiding psychic pain. Through prayer we find what we cannot find elsewhere: a peace that is not of this world.

Dr Vandana Shiva
Just as we got rid of slavery, we've got to get rid of slavery of life, through patents on seeds. We have a higher duty to protect life on earth, to protect biodiversity and to pass on living seeds to our future.

OSHO
Enlightenment is a destructive process. It has nothing to do with becoming better or being happier. Enlightenment is the crumbling away of untruth. It’s seeing through the facade of pretense. It’s the complete eradication of everything we imagined to be true.
