A noble thought is a prayer. An earnest desire is a prayer. A pious longing is
a prayer. the sincere sighing of a penitent heart is a Prayer.
Zarathushtra
May all the good thoughts come to us from every direction. May I send good thoughts into the worlds. May we all live in harmony with our good thoughts. May good thoughts nourish me and strengthen my consciousness
- An Indian prayer
Truth is not exact. What can be measured is not truth-- J
Krishnamurthy.
The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It
is the source of all true art and all science. He to whom this
emotion is a stranger, who can no longer pause to wonder and stand
rapt in awe, is as good as dead: his eyes are closed. - Albert
Einstein
In an interview toward the end of his life, Aldous Huxley was
asked, Dr. Huxley, perhaps more than anyone else in the world, you
have studied all the great religions and spiritual traditions; can
you summarize for us what you feel you have learned?
- Aldous Huxley
It is wrong to think that love comes from long companionship and persevering courtship. Love is the offspring of spiritual affinity and unless that affinity is created in a moment, it will not be created for years or even generations” Kahlil Gibran
Coincidences are spiritual puns.- G. K. Chesterton
There are people who can walk into a room, sit down, and little more
seems to have happened than that a chair has been occupied. Someone
else can come in, and though he neither says nor does anything
further, his presence is like a power ... hardly a gesture or word
is exchanged, yet everything is vitally alive with their presence.
To be present, then, is more than to sit or kneel in place. It is an
act of the spirit and expresses itself in one's whole bearing. -
Romano Guardini, Aquarius
I used to spend whole days without food and whole nights without
sleep in order to meditate. But I made no progress. Study, I found,
was better. - Confucius, Libra
I thought I could change the world. It took me a hundred years to
figure out I can't change the world. I can only change Bessie. And
honey, that ain't easy either. - Bessie Delany. Virgo.
Beginning today, treat everyone you meet as if he or she were
going to be
dead by midnight. Extend to them all the care, kindness,
and understanding you can muster, and do so with no thought of any
reward. Your life will never be the same again. - Og Mandino
Inside my empty bottle I was constructing a lighthouse while all
the others were making ships. - C. S. Lewis, Sagiottariusbr
It's easy to answer the ultimate questions - it saves you bothering
with the immediate ones. - John Osborne, Sagittarius (epitaph for
George Dillon).
Real parapsychological knowledge is how to be in contact with
those who think otherwise, how to stand as a connecting link between
groups that think differently... This kind of knowledge can be
achieved only in loneliness and it can't be shared even with your
dearest friends. Every one can preach truth and freedom to those who
do not understand, but only a few can walk into enemy camp and
achieve even their trust. It is understanding that has nothing to do
with, whether iron bent in the hands of Geller (which I saw myself
from close by), whether there is truth in astrology or whether
dreams are valuable. - Markku Siivola, Finnish psychiatrist,
Capricorn.
Love the animals, love the plants, love everything. If you love
everything, you will perceive the divine mystery in things. Once you
perceive it, you will begin to comprehend it better every day. And
you will come at last to love the whole world with an all-embracing
love. Fyodor Dostoyevsky
That is happiness; to be dissolved into something completely
great. - Willa Cather
We are not human beings having a spiritual experience. We are
spiritual beings having a human experience. - Pierre Teilhard de
Chardin, Taurus
One does not become enlightened by imagining figures of light, but
by making the darkness conscious. - C. G. Jung, Leo
