" Fear is not love, dependence is not love, jealousy is not love, possessiveness and domination are not love, responsibility and duty are not love, self-pity is not love, love is not the opposite of hate any more than humility is the opposite of vanity. So if you can eliminate all these, not by forcing them but by washing them away as the rain washes the dust of many days from a leaf, then perhaps you will come upon this strange flower which man always hungers after."
" Psychiatrist David Shainberg argued that mental illness, which appears chaotic, is actually the reverse. Mental illness occurs when images of the self become rigid and closed, restricting an open creative response to the world."
"...Aboriginal medicine-men, so far from being rogues, charlatans or ignoramuses, are men of highdegree; that is, men who have taken a degree in the secret life beyond that taken by most adult males –a step which implies discipline, mental training, courage and perseverance ...they are men of respected, and often of outstanding, personality ...they are of immense social significance, the psychological health of the group largely depending on faith in their powers ...the various psychic powers attributed to them must not be too readily dismissed as mere primitive magic and 'make-believe', for many of them have specialized in the working of the human mind, and in the influence of mind on body and mind on mind..."

" God exists and can be realized.
Realizing God is the purpose of human life.
God is one, but His name, forms and aspects can be various,
and He too is beyond all description.
Every religion is a path to God.
The glory of human birth is an expression of the divinity
in its masculine and feminine form. Service to man is service to God."-RAMA-KRISHNA
" The only way to celebrate the birth of Christ is to lead a life of service based on Love."

" Everyone takes the limits of his [or her] own vision for the limits of the world."

God said to Abraham; " But for me, you would not be here."
Abraham answered; " I know that Lord. But were I not here
there would be no one to think about you."
-TRADITIONAL JEWISH TALE
" The distinction between past, present, and future is only an illusion, however persistent."
-ALBERT EINSTEIN
" Life is short. Vanities are transitory. Only he [or she] who lives for others is actually living."
-SWAMI VIVEKANANDA
" On the vast canvas of the Self the picture of the manifold worlds is painted by the Self itself. And that Supreme Self, seeing but itself, enjoys great delight."
-SHANKARA
" All things have a good side and a bad side. If you only see the bad side, you have no choice but to complain and be sad. But if you can also see the good side, every day will be a good day."
-ZEN WISDOM
" I am he as you are he as you are me and we are all together."
" Desire plus life, is man. Life minus desire, is God."
