"The day science begins to study non-physical phenomena, it will make more progress in one decade than in all previous centuries of its existence."  ---Nikola Tesla

The JOURNEY is what matters...

"I wanted a perfect ending. Now I've learned, the hard way, that some poems don't rhyme, and some stories don't have a clear beginning, middle, and end. Life is about not knowing, having to change, taking the moment and making the best of it, without knowing what's going to happen next. "
 - Gilda Radner

"Both my happiness and my unhappiness I owe to the love of pleasure." -Cyril Connolly

"It really boils down to this: that all life is interrelated. We are all caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied into a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly. We are made to live together because of the interrelated structure of reality." - Martin Luther King

The man who needs to be accepted by others still lives under several wrong impressions.  He thinks he can escape the agony of his own emptiness by filling it with the neurotic noise of society.  The awakened man has no attachment to the opposite terms of acceptance and rejection.  Living above mere words, he comes and goes among people in a quiet contentment which is unknown by those who still seek acceptance.  - Vernon Howard

“The lives of most human beings are worthless except in so far as they contribute to the enrichment and emancipation of the human spirit.” ~ Cyril Connolly

The overall number of minds is just one....[I]n truth there is only one mind. 
- Erwin Schrodinger, Nobel Prize in Physics, 1933

People say I have created things.  I have never created anything.  I get impressions from the Universe at large and work them out, but I am only a plate on a record or a receiving apparatus -- what you will.  Thoughts are really impressions that we get from outside. - Thomas Alva Edison

"Nature always wears the colors of the spirit." - Ralph Waldo Emerson

"If you have positive thoughts, they will shine out of your face like sunbeams and you will always look lovely."

Take A Step Backward

"You need to take the backward step, not the forward step. The forward step is always moving ahead, always trying to attain what you want, whether it’s a material possession or inner peace. The forward step is very familiar:  seeking and more seeking, striving and more striving, always looking for peace, always looking for happiness, looking for love. To take the backward step means to just turn around, reverse the whole process of looking for satisfaction on the outside, and look at precisely the place where you are standing. See if what you are looking for isn’t already present in your experience ... notice that the peace, this end of struggling, is actually already present." - Adyashanti
