Humanity

We are what our thoughts have made us; so take care about what you think. Words are secondary. Thoughts live; they travel far.
You have to grow from the inside out. None can teach you, none can make you spiritual. There is no other teacher but your own soul.
Where can we go to find God if we cannot see Him in our own hearts and in every living being.
We must all suffer one of two things: the pain of discipline or the pain of regret or disappointment.
The walls we build around us to keep sadness out also keeps out the joy.
It is the set of the sails, not the direction of the wind that determines which way we will go.
Whatever good things we build end up building us.
Days are expensive. When you spend a day you have one less day to spend. So make sure you spend each one wisely.
Don’t wish it was easier, wish you were better. Don’t wish for less problems, wish for more skills. Don’t wish for less challenge, wish for more wisdom.
The big challenge is to become all that you have the possibility of becoming. You cannot believe what it does to the human spirit to maximize your human potential and stretch yourself to the limit.
The mind is like an elastic band. The more you pull, the more it stretches. The mind-elastic will never break. Every time you feel limitations, close your eyes and say to yourself, 'I am the Infinite,' and you will see what power you have.
Every thought requires a physical change in the brain, all the way down to the activity of our genes.
Each sense is equally unreliable... a mental expectation causes the sense of touch to deliver a false picture of reality.
All of us live in a participatory universe. Once you decide that you want to participate fully, with mind, body, and soul, the paradigm shift becomes personal.
The biggest mystery is how human beings create their own reality—and then forget what they did.
There is a growing body of cosmologists—the scientists who explain the origin and nature of the cosmos—developing theories of a completely new universe, one that is living, conscious, and evolving. Such a universe fits no existing standard model. It’s not the cosmos of quantum physics or the Creation described as the work of an [continue reading...]
Sir John Eccles, a neurologist and Nobel laureate, declared, “I want you to realize that there exists no color in the natural world, and no sound—nothing of this kind; no textures, no patterns, no beauty, no scent.” What Eccles means is that all the qualities of nature, from the luxurious scent of a rose to the sting of a wasp and the [continue reading...]
The miracle of vision lies in the mechanics of how the brain processes sunlight, that much is clear. Yet the step that matters the most, converting sunlight into vision, is totally mysterious. No matter what you see in the world—an apple, cloud, mountain, or tree—sunlight bouncing off the object makes it visible. But how? No one really knows,
My eye is ever on those who love me.
Life is a gift, and it offers us the privilege, opportunity, and responsibility to give something back by becoming more.
