Einstein said that the most beautiful and the most profound emotion we can experience is the sensation of the mystical, it is the sower of all true science.
Those of us who can no longer stand rapt in awe and wonder are as good as dead. To know that what is impenetrable to us actually exists and manifests itself as the highest wisdom and the most radiant beauty that our dull faculties can comprehend, this knowledge, this feeling is at the heart of all true religiousness.
The difference between knowledge and belief is perception. Often people attempt to lead their lives backwards; they try to have more things, or more money, in order to be happier. The way it actually works is the reverse. You must first be who you really are, then do what you need to do, in order to have what you want.
We should all use our creative powers because nothing makes us so generous, joyful, lively, bold and compassionate, so indifferent to fighting and the accumulation of objects and money.
We have lost our sense of wonder and have made a fetish out of civilization, worshiping our own creations, while all the time regulating the immensities of time and space to the sub-conscious mind.
When we don't confront our inner needs they appear outside as fate. Today the word religion is used wholesale and many don't even know what it means. It comes from the Latin root meaning to connect.
The word philosopher was coined by Pythagoras in the 6th century B.C. to mean "one who is trying to find out".
Today, Philosophy is the science of estimating values and includes six fields of study, psychology, ascetics, logic, epistemology, ethics and meta-physics (cosmology and theology).
If anyone feels that they have a monopoly on the truth then they are simply limiting themselves to their own perception.
The two great ethical luminaries are intelligence and love. Without which we would be lost forever.
The Mayan colander ends in December of 2012, they believed as we approach this date when the earth goes thru a certain part of the Milky Way that our consciousness would expand exponentially. So that we will see things next year we wouldn't believe today. The last ten years bear witness to that.
Millions of people are waking up to the fact that coldness, heartlessness and commericalism are simply impractical and only that which gives the opportunity for the expression of love and ideality are the truly worthwhile pursuits.
It is not because things are difficult that we do not dare, it is because we do not dare that they are difficult. We will discover the nature of our particular genius when we stop trying to conform to our own or other people's models, learn to be ourselves and allow our natural channel to open.
