We take a stand and make a declaration to create a new reality. This is not an arbitrary statement, for in our being we have this inner certainty we can reinvent the world to this extent. We sense the time is right; the reality is already in the system waiting to be brought forth.
Varela (from Source by Jaworski)
The way to DO is to BE.
Lao Tzu (capatilised words mine)
We believe in the ingenuity of human beings. Each one of us have the infinite resourcefulness to reinvent ourselves.
Being at Full Potential
People should not consider so much as to what they are to DO, as to what they ARE.
Meister Eckhart (capatilised words mine)
A change of meaning is a change of being.
Bohm
We recognise that when we speed up, we get ahead; but when we slow down, we get far.
Being at Full Potential
The mark of authenticity is becoming immersed in genuine being, not highlighting ourselves as artístes. What manifests in the moment resonates at the deepest level of ourselves, others, and all of society. You have to be without clinging.
Trungpa Rinpoche
What significance does the new consciousness paradigm have for you and me in our daily lives? In a nutshell, if the potentiality for consciousness is found to exist at the very foundation of reality – if it is, in a word, basic – then it stands to reason that to be fully conscious it to partake of that potentiality as fully as our human design allows.”
Mani Bhaumik - “Code Name God”
Bliss is co-eval with Being-Consciousness. All the arguments relating to the eternal Being apply to eternal Bliss also. Your nature is Bliss. Ignorance is now hiding the Bliss, but you have only to remove the ignorance for the Bliss to be freed."
Ramadan Maharashi
Culture is activity of thought, and receptiveness to beauty and humane feeling. Scraps of information have nothing to do with it. A merely well-informed man is the most useless bore on God's earth. What we should aim at producing is men who possess both culture and expert knowledge in some special direction
Alfred North Whitehead
At its most foundational level, a culture is defined by a sense of self, and that sense of self exists within the culture, not just in individuals. Analogously, the dance does not exist only within individual dancers; it exists in the relationship between the dancers as well.
Jeff Carreira - The Soul of a New Self
The joy of life is in the journey. (That is why I am a process philosopher.)
C. Robert Mesle - Process-Relational Philosophy
“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
“Current concepts of the mind-brain relationship involve a direct break with the long established materialist and behaviorist doctrine that has dominated neuroscience for many decades. Instead of renouncing or ignoring consciousness, the new interpretation gives full recognition to the primacy of inner conscious awareness as a causal reality.”
Roger Sperry (Nobel neuroscientist)
"We used to think of the universe as "out there", to be observed as it were from behind the screen of a foot-thick slab plate of glass, safely, without personal involvement. The truth quantum theory tells us, is quite different...the observer is inescapably promoted to participator. In some strange sense this is a participatory universe."
John Wheeler, Princeton physics professor at 1981 Nobel conference
