There are only two known elements in the whole universe, energy and matter. — Napoleon Hill
Life proceeds out of your intentions for it. This is the fuel that drives the engine of creation in your life. — Neale Donald Walsch
You live in the landscape of your thoughts until they merge to become reality. — Tony Fahkry
Everyone and everything that shows up in our life is a reflection of something that is happening inside of us. — Alan Cohen
The government of the world is so ordered that each soul gets every chance for its full development, and it reaps the fruit of all its activities. If it breaks away from Allah's Grace, it suffers, but no injustice is done to anyone: on the contrary, Allah's Bounty is always beyond man's deserts. — Qur'an | 4760.
The absolute cannot manifest its will in our world and that this will manifests itself only in the form of mechanical laws and cannot manifest itself by violating these laws. — P.D. Ouspensky
Everyone who is seriously involved in the pursuit of science becomes convinced that a spirit is manifest in the laws of the universe. — Albert Einstein
Shall I not have intelligence with the earth? Am I not partly leaves and vegetable mold myself. — Henry David Thoreau
Science can do many wonderful things: it could then: it can now. But the mystery of Life baffled science then, as it continues to baffle science now, after many centuries of progress. — Qur'an | 303.
Don’t think about why you question, simply don’t stop questioning. Don’t worry about what you can’t answer, and don’t try to explain what you can’t know. Curiosity is its own reason. Aren’t you in awe when you contemplate the mysteries of eternity, of life, of the marvelous structure behind reality? And this is the miracle of the human mind—to use its constructions, concepts, and formulas as tools to explain what man sees, feels and touches. Try to comprehend a little more each day. Have holy curiosity. — Albert Einstein
It is certainly true that most men need some kind of a God. A few, and they are the men of genius, do not bow to an alien law. The rest try to justify their doings and misdoings, their thinking and existence (at least the menial side of it), to some one else, whether it be the personal God of the Jews, or a beloved, respected, and revered human being. It is only in this way that they can bring their lives under the social law. — Otto Weininger
Truth is stranger than fiction, but it is because Fiction is obliged to stick to possibilities; Truth isn't. — Mark Twain
To the one who has better understanding, the complex is simple. The secret to understanding everything in a simple way is to get to the essence of things and see how they fit into the bigger picture of all things. It is to know the microcosm of a thing as well as the macrocosm. When you know the quantum level and also the meta level, you can know all levels in between easily and completely.
Nothing is complex, everything is simple. It all depends how it is organized. The complex is made simple through organization.
The deeper your understanding, the simpler everything becomes to you. That is because you are getting to the essence of things. The deeper you go, the higher you ascend. What’s behind everything is also what’s above everything. To see from the highest and most fundamental place is to understand everything in life, the universe and destiny from the perspective of consciousness and reality creation. It is because consciousness is everything. It is consciousness alone that creates and directs all things.
I regard consciousness as fundamental. I regard matter as derivative from consciousness. We cannot get behind consciousness. Everything that we talk about, everything that we regard as existing, postulates consciousness. — Max Planck
The stream of knowledge is heading towards a non-mechanical reality; the Universe begins to look more like a great thought than like a great machine. Mind no longer appears to be an accidental intruder into the realm of matter... we ought rather hail it as the creator and governor of the realm of matter. Get over it and accept the inarguable conclusion. The universe is immaterial-mental and spiritual. — James Jeans
The universal medicine for the Soul is the Supreme Reason and Absolute Justice; for the mind, mathematical and practical Truth; for the body, the Quintessence, a combination of light and gold. — Albert Pike
Observe constantly that all things take place by change, and accustom thyself to consider that the nature of the Universe loves nothing so much as to change the things which are to make new things like them. For everything that exists is in a manner the seed of that which will be. The cave you fear to enter holds the treasure you seek. — Joseph Campbell
Accept people, situations, circumstances, and events as they occur . . . know that this moment is as it should be, because the whole universe is as it should be. This moment — is the culmination of all the moment you have experienced in the past. This moment is as it is because the entire universe is as it is. When you struggle against this moment, you're actually struggling against the entire universe. Instead, you can make the decision that today you will not struggle against the whole universe struggling against this moment . . . You can wish for things in the future to be different, but in this moment you have to accept things as they are . . . And if you can accept things as they are, you are ready to take responsibility for your situation and for all the events you see as problems . . . Once you do this, every so-called upsetting situation will become an opportunity for the creation of something new and beautiful, and every so-called tormentor or tyrant will become your teacher. Whenever confronted by a tyrant, tormentor, teacher, friend, or foe (they all mean the same thing) remind yourself, "This moment is as it should be." Whatever relationships you have attracted in your life at this moment are precisely the ones you need in your life at this moment. There is a hidden meaning behind all events, and this hidden meaning is serving your own evolution. — Deepak Chopra
The secret of change is to focus all of your energy, not on fighting the old, but on building the new. — Socrates
Souls are eternal, paths cross many times, love is more than emotion, kindness prevails, science and mathematics are cool, spirituality is powerful. Unity for all.
For the wise man looks into space and he knows there is no limited dimension. — Lao Tzu
Do not feel lonely, the entire universe is inside you. Stop acting so small. You are the universe in ecstatic motion. Set your life on fire. Seek those who fan your flames. — Rumi
The race is made up of individuals, and the place to begin is with the person who believes in the greater possibility. Each one, for himself, must work out the law of his own being. It is within the power of every man to completely change his environment and completely heal his body. Whether or not he will do this depends entirely upon his own conviction and his own determination. Nature attends him on the way and is always ready to serve; but he is an individual and nothing will ever be forced upon him. Let any one follow the Law, comply with Its nature, and consistently apply himself to right thinking and living, and he will prove to himself that life holds all and more than he has ever imagined. — Ernest Holmes
If you take away the fear of failure and you give people the power to dream, amazing things can happen. How do you do that? We as humans have been programmed to think from the mindset of scarcity. Once you can change your mindset from the mindset of scarcity to the mindset of abundance, you suddenly realize nothing but the potential you have rather than the things that can't be done. So think about it, what do we fight over? We fight over land. We fight over water. We fight over food. Now just think for a second, when we look at our solar system, and we look down, the Earth is nothing but one pale blue dot. A tiny dot that no one can ever even see. And we fight over that space. What if going to any planet becomes as easy as going from here to New York. Do we still have a scarcity of land? The answer is no. (...) The mindset of abundance changes everything. (...) Every single thing that we think is scarce can be created in abundance. — Naveen Jain
A Manifesto
Working with a paradox
Defining the elusive
Visualizing the Invisible
Communicating the incommunicable
Not accepting the limitations society has accepted
Seeing in new ways
Living for a fraction of a second and penetrating light years
Using intellect and instinct to achieve intuition
Striving to surpass human limitations by searching the
Mysteries and probing the silent universe alive with
Hidden creativity.
Achieving total self-consciousness and self-awareness
Probing to locate the center of things - the true inner core
Of inherent but not yet understood meaning - and expose it
To be analyzed
Being creatively obsessive
Questioning, reasoning, analyzing, dissecting and re-examining
Understanding that everything has further meaning, that
Order has been created out of chaos, but order when it
Reaches a certain totality must be shattered by new
Disorder and by new inquiries and developments
Finding new concepts recognizing new patterns
Understanding the finitude of human existence and still
Striving to create beauty and provocative reasoning
Recognizing and Interpreting the relationship of creative
Elements to each other. People to People, People to God. People
to Nature. Nature to Nature. Thought to Thought. Art to Art.
Living reality and still being able to dream
Desiring to know the importance or insignificance of existence
Persisting in the eternal search
Agnes Denes 1970
It is an understatement to say that the time has arrived for a serious and open international dialogue regarding the possibility of future interplanetary relations. In no other area of human experience has so much evidence existed for so long, and yet been attended by such a paucity of serious research and analysis - at least in the civilian domain. While the subject matter of UFOs itself is extraordinary, it is the absence of a serious human response to it that is most extraordinary. — Steven M. Greer
Our society is the product of an extraterrestrial race that moves and breathes - and even breeds - beneath the surface of all of human history. — Karlos Kukuburra
Life is not confined to our one little Planet. It is a very old speculation to imagine some life like human life on the planet Mars. Though no scientific demonstration is possible, it is reasonable to suppose that Life in some form or other is scattered through some of the millions of heavenly bodies scattered through space. What a wonderful Sign of Allah! The Almighty Who created such countless beings has surely the power to bring them together. — Qur'an | 4569.
War cannot be avoided until the physical cause for its recurrence is removed and this, in the last analysis, is the vast extent of the planet on which we live. Only through annihilation of distance in every respect, as the conveyance of intelligence, transport of passengers and supplies and transmission of energy will conditions be brought about some day, insuring permanency of friendly relations. What we now want is closer contact and better understanding between individuals and communities all over the earth, and the elimination of egoism and pride which is always prone to plunge the world into primeval barbarism and strife... Peace can only come as a natural consequence of universal enlightenment. — Nikola Tesla
CALVIN: If people sat outside and looked at the stars each night, I’ll bet they’d live a lot differently.
HOBBES: How so?
CALVIN: Well, when you look into infinity, you realize that there are more important things than what people do all day.
The more you are aware of the creative process and your place in it, the larger the dimensions of your consciousness and the greater your use of right decisions to keep right on expanding. (...) Intelligence created you and set you free on a path of self-discovery and self-decision. — Raymond Charles Barker
God and Nature first made us what we are, and out of our own creative Genius we make ourselves what we want to be. Follow always that great law. Let God and the sky be our limit and eternity our measurement. There is no height to which you cannot climb without the active intelligence of your own mind. Mind creates, and as much as we desire in nature we can have through the creation of our own minds. Never forget your God. Remember, that we live, work, and pray for a binding racial hierarchy, whose only natural, spiritual and political limits shall be God and “Africa, at home and abroad.” With God’s dearest blessings, I leave you for a while… ONE LOVE — Marcus Garvey
The more informed and thoughtful a person is, the more aware they are of the reality of the spiritual crisis. We live in a world in which mainstream, conventional modern science has essentially voided the cosmos of all intrinsic meaning and purpose. There is no spiritual dimension to it from its point of view. The intellectual power of mainstream modern science has effectively defined what kind of cosmos we live in. And yet human beings aspire for spiritual significance in the life that they lead and in the world that they live in. It is only, I think, though going through a profound inner transformation, and also an intellectual transformation, that one can see beyond that crisis and come into a world of a different kind. — Richard Tarnas
A civilization can't become conscious of itself and can't recognize its own significance until it's so mature that it's approaching its own death. —Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
As soon as man does not take his existence for granted, but beholds it as something unfathomably mysterious, thought begins. — Albert Schweitzer
The natural interactions between man and his environment will breed more intelligence and generate more knowledge provided the scientific methods that define intelligence in operation are pushed further into the mysteries of the world, being themselves promoted and improved in the operation. — John Dewey
Destiny is not where we wait for God to push us. You know always in your heart that you need God. . . but do you not know, too, that God needs you -- in the fullness of His eternity needs you?. . . The world is not divine sport. It is divine destiny. . . . We take part in creation, meet the Creator, reach out to Him, helpers and companions. — Martin Buber
In questions of science, the authority of a thousand is not worth the humble reasoning of a single individual. — Galileo Galilei
This institution will be based on the illimitable freedom of the human mind. For here we are not afraid to follow truth wherever it may lead, nor to tolerate any error so long as reason is left free to combat it. — Thomas Jefferson
One of the great paradoxes of the liberal democratic culture, that once we make the assumption that everybody is "entitled to their opinion", we have a world that is entrenched with not their own opinions, but it has been inherited through philosophical positions. That there is no Truth. That everything is relative, and there are only small case t's. "Your truth is your truth and my truth is my truth"; this has led to destruction. Once you reduce the world to this level effect of everything being equal in its importance, then where is there room for real Truth? This is why we talk about values now, not virtues. What's expensive in one place is cheap in another place. As opposed to virtue, which means True (in Latin), and this is what religious traditions have taught: virtue. This is what has been removed from the modern society - virtue - and virtue is Truth. Honesty is a virtue in every culture on this planet; courage, generosity, wisdom, understanding. These are all universal virtues. Faith, hope, charity. This is how the ancients understood the world. — Shaykh Hamza Yusuf
There is no question that if we look around at the world today, we cannot avoid the fact that something big is dying. We are watching it and we are experiencing it. But the great challenge that all of us face as individuals is also being faced by our civilization. That is, can we go through that death at an inner level? Can we recognize the great spiritual, archetypal dimension to that death and go through it at that level? Or, will we be unconscious, blind to that deeper reality and act out self-destructively by making our world ecologically unlivable or killing each other in nationalistic competition, or whatever? Those are the choices. — Richard Tarnas
Alas, our technology has marched ahead of our spiritual and social evolution, making us, frankly, a dangerous people. [...] The secrecy hasn't been enforced because the government thinks people are going to freak out when they find we're not alone in the universe, not in 1999. What will be shocking is the scandal of the last 50 years of ecosystem destruction, when we've had the technology to avoid it since the late '50s. — Steven M. Greer
In spite of these spectacular strides in science and technology, and still unlimited ones to come, something basic is missing. There is a sort of poverty of the spirit which stands in glaring contrast to our scientific and technological abundance. The richer we have become materially, the poorer we have become morally and spiritually. We have learned to fly the air like birds and swim the sea like fish, but we have not learned the simple art of living together as brothers . . . Enlarged material powers spell enlarged peril if there is not proportionate growth of the soul. — Martin Luther King Jr.
Everything we need to live and enjoy life is provided to us on the planet, but because of ego, greed, shame, fear and xenophobia we live in a world where basic human rights are not guaranteed to all people and some people live without access to suitable drinking water and food.
It is impossible to study a system of the universe without studying man. At the same time it is impossible to study man without studying the universe. MAN is an image of the world. He was created by the same laws which created the whole of the world. By knowing and understanding himself he will know and understand the whole world, all the laws that create and govern the world. And at the same time by studying the world and the laws that govern the world he will learn and understand the laws that govern him. In this connection some laws are understood and assimilated more easily by studying himself. The study of the world and the study of man must therefore run parallel, one helping the other. — P.D. Ouspensky
When one compares this order with older classifications that belong to earlier stages of natural science one sees that one has now divided the world not into different groups of objects but into different groups of connections. In an earlier period of science one distinguished, for instance, as different groups minerals, plants, animals, men. These objects were taken according to their group as of different natures, made of different materials, and determined in their behavior by different forces. Now we know that it is always the same matter, the same various chemical compounds that may belong to any object, to minerals as well as animals or plants; also the forces that act between the different parts of matter are ultimately the same in every kind of object. What can be distinguished is the kind of connection which is primarily important in a certain phenomenon. For instance, when we speak about the action of chemical forces we mean a kind of connection which is more complicated or in any case different from that expressed in Newtonian mechanics. The world thus appears as a complicated tissue of events, in which connections of different kinds alternate or overlap or combine and thereby determine the texture of the whole. — Werner Heisenberg
I think all of us want to be good. It's just part of our nature. Even mass murderers have some rationalization of why they're actually good. — David Brooks
The aims and ideals that move us are generated through imagination. But they are not made out of imaginary stuff. They are made out of the hard stuff of the world of physical and social experience. — John Dewey
The hero is a sort of monster who is immune to pain and suffering: he is on the side of life. The world is for him a place where things are engendered, brought to life. Life reveals itself to him as art. He enjoys life by rearranging it according to his needs. He may say that he is doing it for humanity, but we know that he is also a liar. The hero is a man who says to himself-this is where things happen (not somewhere else). He acts as if he were at home in the world. For others, they are seldom at home, and Life, as it is called, is for most of us one long postponement. And the simple reason for it is: FEAR.
When people do not want to see something, they get mad at the one who shows them. They kill the messenger. Art opens the closets, airs out the cellars and attics. It brings healing. But before a wound can heal it must be seen, and this act of exposing the wound to air and light, the artist's act, is often reacted to with shaming. The act of making art exposes a society to itself. Art brings things to light. It illuminates us. It casts a beam into the heart of our own darkness and says, "see?" — Julia Cameron
Some people claim that these are difficult times for humanity, but I don't think so. The times are not bad. Some people are bad perhaps. The moon, the sun, and the stars have not failed in their duties. The seasons appear and disappear just as they always have. Real men and women don't change. They finally find themselves and they turn toward God. By real men and women I mean the truly human beings. I am not talking about animals who appear in human shape. I am talking about those who are human, as humans are meant to be. I have seen many who have appeared to be sinners and evil, bad people, who have become wonderful examples of real human beings. (...) Each of us has a treasure hidden within. (...) when you find this inner treasure, then you will become a real human being (...) Those who say "God" must know that humanity is divine. We are all divine. We belong to God. We are neither the before nor are we the after. We are a part of truth. When that is forgotten, when that remembrance is erased from our heads, then we are in danger. But that has not happened. — Muzaffer Ozak
When the world knows beauty as beauty, ugliness arises. When it knows good as good, evil arises. Thus, being and non-being produce each other. — Tao Te Ching
Never be afraid to raise your voice for honesty and truth and compassion against injustice and lying and greed. If people all over the world would do this, it would change the earth. — William Faulkner
Good and evil does not exist. At a fundamental level, there is really no good and evil in the universe. Everything just is. It is perception that frames reality. Good and evil is based on perception. Therefore the perception of good and evil depends on the one perceiving it. If you perceive something as good, then to you it is good. If you perceive something as evil, then to you it is evil. We can choose our own frame of reality or we can choose to follow the frame set by another in his perception of good and evil. — Noctis Enoch
We are all inventors, each sailing out on a voyage of discovery, guided each by a private chart, of which there is no duplicate. The world is all gates, all opportunities. — Ralph Waldo Emerson
We are all visitors to this time, this place. We are just passing through. Our purpose here is to observe, learn, grow, love and then we return home. — Aboriginal
Do I contradict myself? Very well, then I contradict myself, I am large, I contain multitudes. — Walt Whitman
Humans follow the laws of Earth.
Earth follows the laws of Heaven.
Heaven follows the laws of Tao.
Tao follows the laws of Nature.
One god, One law, One element and one far off divine element to which the creation moves. — Alfred, Lord Tennyson
We need to discern who we are and expand on our humanness and sacredness. That's how we change the world, which happens because WE will be the change. — Grace Lee Boggs
The World is before you and you need not take it or leave it as it was when you came in. — James Baldwin
We have not just reached planetary boundaries, we have overstepped them. And once you realize that, you begin to say, "so, what is the consequence of that?", and you begin to understand that what I was taught as a young child, as a young woman, as the definition of zero-sum game in which what you win is my loss, and what I win is your loss - frankly, doesn't have a place anymore because if you have reached and overstepped planetary boundaries, the fact is either we all win or we all lose together. That's the new interpretation of zero-sum. And I think it was that understanding that we frankly all have to win together. (...) We're all on this one planet together. (...) As we rise, we converge. Because as we rise in our awareness of deep humanity, of our divine in us, of the spiritual in us, of the best of the human in us, that's where we converge, that's what we have in common. And in as much as we reflect that and live with that, then solidarity comes as a natural next step, and then agreements are also a natural next step. — Christiana Figueres
To know nature is to know one portion of the Creator. To know yourself is to know another portion of the Creator. Because what is within mirrors what is outside, and what is outside mirrors what is within, knowing both nature and yourself makes for a straight path toward knowing the Creator.
The human world is always on the way to perfection, and the understanding of this process of perfection is one of mankind's biggest joys, and this joy is accessible to every person.
It's not about earning, it's about RECEIVING
It's not about effort, it's about VIBRATION
It's not about doing, it's about THINKING
Most people are observing what is instead of dreaming what will be.
You attract your experiences through belief
Your choices are always supported by Creation
You are a non-physical consciousness that is experiencing physical reality
Move into a state of being where you convince your brain and body that your wish is already fulfilled. Then get up and live as if your prayer is already answered. The moment you start to analyze and try to figure out where it's gonna come from you just return back to the old self. The new self would never think that way. You are empowered by your mind in your interaction with the field of intelligence that everybody has access to."
One of the biggest mistakes people make when they think about God is to imagine God as impersonal. Yes, God is behind the numbers, the perfection of the universe that science measures and struggles to understand. But - again, paradoxically - God is "human" as well - even more human than you and I are. God understands and sympathizes with our human situation more profoundly and personally than we can even imagine because God knows what we have forgotten, and understands the terrible burden it is to live with amnesia of the Divine for even a moment.
You came to Earth to learn how to deal with the energy and to be a master co-creator. Everything is energy. Once you learn to deal with the energy, you can get whatever you want. Everything is possible.
The suppression of the UFO phenomena is hand-in-hand with the suppression of so called free energy.
I think that nothing can be more important than interplanetary communication. It will certainly come some day, and the certitude that there are other human beings in the universe, working, suffering, struggling, like ourselves, will produce a magic effect on mankind and will form the foundation of a universal brotherhood that will last as long as humanity itself. — Nikola Tesla
The world around us is a production of pure magic, a magnificent illusion. It appears to us as real because we are as much a part of the illusion as everything else. In fact, it is we who are the master magicians, as it is we who are the creators of the illusion. — Kalika
It's very hard to take yourself too seriously when you look at the world from outer space. — Thomas Mattingly
As has so often happened in human history, something that seems to threaten us from outside, or challenges a worldview, tends to be perceived as demonic, which of course has provided the television and film industries with almost limitless commercial opportunities. — John E. Mack
The abduction phenomenon forces us, (...) if we permit ourselves to take it seriously, to reexamine our perception of human identity -- to look at who we are from cosmic perspective. — John E. Mack
Almost always the men who achieve these fundamental inventions of a new paradigm have been either very young or very new to the field whose paradigm they change. And perhaps that point need not have been made explicit, for obviously these are the men who, being little committed by prior practice to the traditional rules of normal science, are particularly likely to see that those rules no longer define a playable game and to conceive another set that can replace them. — Thomas S. Kuhn
Optimism is one step to enlightenment. One step toward the truth. The truth of the Universe is, there is good and bad in everything. The perfect life is the one which requires the most work and pain, but which offers the deepest pleasure. The truth gets even simpler than that. Everything is exactly what it is. You can have this, and the alternative is that, whatever you chose, you WILL receive all of it. Enjoy the benefits of whatever befalls you completely, because you WILL experience the disadvantages completely.
Everything in this Universe is connected in some kind of way. Because it all comes from one source. The source is cut in pieces, and the source lives itself out, but you think you're your own person. That's why you think, 'oh, if I do this it won't hurt anybody else', but everything you do affects everything else.
When we heal the Earth we heal ourselves. — David Orr
Tao. There's no need to possess it. You are it, and by trying to possess it you imply that you're not. So, by trying to catch hold of it, you, as it were, push it away... Although you can't really push it away because the very pushing is all it. You see? — Alan Watts
What you think you become. What you feel you attract. What you imagine you create. — Buddha
The yearning for our lost perfection, the urge to do and be that which is the noblest, the most beautiful of which we are capable, is the creative impulse of every high achievement. We strive for perfection here because we long to be restored to our oneness with God. — Paramahansa Yogananda
Why do anything? What's the meaning of life? I came to the conclusion that what we really need to do is make sure that life continues on to the future, and particularly conscious life, and in doing so, we'll be better to understand the nature of the Universe and achieve greater enlightenment. — Elon Musk
The clearest way into the Universe is through a forest wilderness. — John Muir
What we know about Genes, is that genes don't operate on their own. DNA doesn't operate on it's own. It's a protein that reads the environment. And the environment of a protein is not just a physical environment -- it's your mind. The things you believe. what you believe and perceive writes on your genes. It literally impresses upon your genetic make-up.. So if you're constantly feeling sad, worried, depressed, this is the cause of many diseases. And this is what this society is trying to do. It's trying to create to the genes to be depressed, to be sad, to be defeated, basically. unmotivated. De-energized. "Turned down, turn it down". That's what the society is actually trying to do.. So those who find it within themselves to stay happy, stay joyous, stay energized in a society that's literally trying to break you down,,, this is a superhuman.... because everything that makes the human human, is your DNA. DNA is like a little version of you. Cells are the smallest unit of consciousness. 100 trillion cells running through your body right now. The same amount of cells in your body is the same amount of stars in the Milky Way Galaxy. We're all built fractally. So yeah, you would match the universe like that. (the microcosm of the macrocosm). As it is above, so it is below. The macro represents the micro, the micro represents the macro. So when you have that knowledge, you really stand on it; wait a minute, I'm a smaller version of the Universe. I'm not just here. Like, I'm not what you are calling me.. or what this society is trying to turn me into. No, we know nature. Nature itself is a closed system (there's no death). Energy exchanges with each other. Now, what energy are you. What moves you. What frequency do you pick up naturally. — KRS-ONE
As is the microcosm, so is the macrocosm, As is the atom, so is the universe, As is the human mind, so is the cosmic mind. — Deepak Chopra
Therefore, we may consequently state that: this world is indeed a living being endowed with a soul and intelligence...a single visible living entity containing all other living entities, which by their nature are all related. — Plato
The paired concept of Macrocosm and Microcosm presents the idea that there is a corresponding similarity in pattern, nature, or structure between human beings and the universe. The concept of microcosm/macrocosm views man as a smaller representation of the universe and the universe as an anthropomorphic existence.
All of the answers you seek can be found in the macro-cosmic view of the microcosmic You. — KA Chinery
You cannot define yourself in reference to other external coordinates, you must define yourself internally with your relationship with a higher entity. Think of yourself as a manifestation of some higher "thing", some higher frequency. This is the visible realization. And you know that because you can't see atoms, can you? You certainly can't see the forces that hold atoms together. There in the micro quantum world [...] lie the answers to everything. We can't understand it with our logical rational minds, but we feel it, intuitively. Get yourself in alignment with that stuff and you BEAM like the sun. — Russell Brand
Dream no small dreams for they have no power to move the hearts of men. — Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe
The ancient Brahmans in India (...) they held firm the belief that prayers were to be projected vocally into the universe. Your wavelengths from your voice shoot out into the universe, forever. Sure, at a certain point we don't hear it anymore in a contemporary sense, but one of the principles of science is that energy is never destroyed. That energy is being created, magnified from inside of you. It shoots out of your lungs and diaphragm, and your vocal chords. (...) think of the opera singer who breaks the glass with her voice. The drill sergeant that strikes fear into his recruits. The hypnotist whose voice puts one into a trance. An inspiring speech. Job interviews, discussions, commands given to animals... (...) it's a good thing for a man to work or master - his voice and his energy projection. (...) it changes the dynamic of relationships, jobs, love, and life. It comes down to the decisions in front of us. Obviously, we make our choices everyday, and the culmination of those choices really dictates how we (and others) perceive ourselves. How those perceptions change the opportunities around us. How it isn't just "being yourself", as that doesn't really exist in many ways, come to think of it. Being yourself doesn't actually mean anything- it's simply making a certain habitual decision one has become accustomed to. It's laziness, in a way. It's a rejection of expansion or opportunity or change, or even the chance of compromising the better good. I don't think anybody can 'be themselves'; I think its just someone justifying a certain decision over another based on variables that don't really have anything to do with 'them self'. The world will conform to your attitude and personality. It changes like a light switch. But we hold the key to adjusting those. Hence we hold the key to changing the world. See, it's not about the being yourself and the world conforming and accepting it- it's changing the world by being the energy within decisions you're confronted with. — Harry Carlton
Man lives in the satisfaction of his appetites, in fears, in struggle, in vanity, in distraction and amusements, in stupid sports, in games of skill and chance, in greed of gain, in sensuality, in dull daily work, in cares and anxieties of the day, and more than anything else in obedience and in the enjoyment of obedience, because there is nothing that the average man likes better than to obey; if he ceases to obey one force he immediately begins to obey another. He is infinitely remote from anything that is not connected directly with the interests of the day or with the worries of the day, from anything which is little above the material level of his life. If we do not shut our eyes to all this, we shall realize that we cannot, at the best, call ourselves anything but civilized barbarians, that is barbarians possessed of a certain degree of culture. — P. D. Ouspensky
There is no possibility in any man that is not in every man; but if they proceed naturally, no two men will grow into the same thing, or be alike. Every man comes into the world with a predisposition to grow along certain lines, and growth is easier for him along those lines than in any other way. This is a wise provision, for it gives endless variety. It is as if a gardener should throw all his bulbs into one basket; to the superficial observer they would look alike, but growth reveals a tremendous difference. So of men and women; they are like the basket of bulbs. One may be a rose and add brightness and color to some dark corner of the world; one may be a lily and teach a lesson of love and purity to every eye that sees; one may be a climbing vine and hide the rugged outlines of some dark rock; one may be a great oak among whose boughs the birds shall nest and sing, and beneath whose shade the flocks shall rest at noon, but every one will be something worth while, something rare, something perfect. — Wallace D. Wattles
When we live our life contrary to the inner guidance of our soul, our actions often have a disharmonious effect upon ourselves, others and the earth. This is why the evolution of individual human consciousness is intimately linked with the future of this planet. In light of this, the crisis of all physical illness, emotional imbalance and planetary upheaval has but one ultimate purpose: to provide an opportunity that will motivate us to realign our body, mind and emotions with the infinite love, wisdom and healing of our soul. Therefore, whenever we gather the courage to do whatever it takes to end the war within, we contribute directly and immediately to our own healing and transformation as well as to the peace that our world cries out for. — John-Michael
There is always something to do. There are hungry people to feed, naked people to clothe, sick people to comfort and make well. And while I don't expect you to save the world I do think it's not asking too much for you to love those with whom you sleep, share the happiness of those whom you call friend, engage those among you who are visionary and remove from your life those who offer you depression, despair and disrespect. — Nikki Giovanni
If you are true to your self-hood, you will create an atmosphere about you that will permit the vibrations from infinity to reach you. — Floyd Baker Wilson
Past, present and future are controllable. The past can be cleansed. The present can be made fruitful. The future can be what you decide it shall be. — Raymond Charles Barker
The world is good, and growing better. Existing discords and inharmonies are but the rollings of the ship incidental to our own imperfect steering; they will all be removed in due time. This view gives us an increasing outlook and an expanding mind; it enables us to think largely of society and of ourselves, and to do things in a great way. — Wallace D. Wattles
If you want to awaken all of humanity, then awaken all of yourself, if you want to eliminate the suffering in the world, then eliminate all that is dark and negative in yourself. Truly, the greatest gift you have to give is that of your own self-transformation. — Lao Tzu
In a few decades, the relationship between the environment, resources and conflict may seem almost as obvious as the connection between human rights, democracy, and peace. — Wangari Maathai
That is at bottom the only courage that is demanded of us: to have courage for the most strange, the most singular and the most inexplicable that we may encounter. That mankind has in this sense been cowardly has done life endless harm; the experiences that are called "visions," the whole so-called "spirit-world," death, all those things that are so closely akin to us, have by daily parrying been so crowded out of life that the senses with which we could have grasped them are atrophied. To say nothing of God. — Rainer Maria Rilke
