" All things are connected like the blood that unites us. We did not

weave the web of life; we are merely a strand in it. Whatever we do

to the web, we do to ourselves. " -Chief Seattle

 

 

" Video games don't affect kids; I mean if Pac-Man affected us as

kids, we'd all be running around in darkened rooms, munching magic

pills and listening to repetitive electronic music. " -Kristian

Wilson (Nintendo Inc, 1989)

 

 

" As we acquire more knowledge, things do not become more

comprehensible but more mysterious. " -Albert Schweitzer

 

 

" Someday, after mastering the winds, the waves, the tides and

gravity, we shall harness for God the energies of love, and then,

for a second time in the history of the world, man will have

discovered fire. " -Pierre Teilhard de Chardin

 

 

" Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going

to get better. It's not. " -Dr. Seuss, The Lorax

 

 

" The planet has a kind of intelligence, it can actually open a

channel of communication with an individual human being. The message

that nature sends is, transform your language through a synergy

between electronic culture and the psychedelic imagination, a

synergy between dance and idea, a synergy between understanding and

intuition, and dissolve the boundaries that your culture has

sanctioned between you, to become part of this Gaian supermind " -

Terance Mckenna

 

 

" All words and worlds are metaphors of me. " - GOD

 

 

" Know ye not ye are Gods? " - Jesus

 

 

" A dog is not considered a good dog because he is a good barker. A

man is not considered a good man because he is a good talker. " -

Buddha

 

 

" All that we are is the result of what we have thought. If a man

speaks or acts with an evil thought, pain follows him. If a man

speaks or acts with a pure thought, happiness follows him, like a

shadow that never leaves him. " -Buddha

 

 

" It is better to travel well than to arrive. " -Buddha

 

 

" Kaleidoscopic, fantastic images surged in on me, alternating,

variegated, opening and then closing themselves in circles and

spirals, exploding in colored fountains, rearranging and hybridizing

themselves in constant flux. It was particularly remarkable how

every acoustic perception, such as the sound of a door handle or a

passing automobile, became transformed into optical

perceptions. . . . There was to my knowledge no other known

substance that evoked such profound psychic effects in such

extremely low doses, that caused such dramatic changes in human

consciousness and our experience of the inner and outer world. " -Dr.

Albert Hoffman

 

 

" Quantum physics has found that there is no empty space in the human

cell, but it is a teeming, electric-magnetic field of possibility or

potential " - Dr. Deepak Chopra

 

 

" When you are observing a glass of water, on some level the glass of

water is observing you. " - Dr. Fred Wolf

 

 

" One may imagine the sight of billions of ants on board a driftwood,

floating on a fast-running stream. The ants are apparently unaware

that their driftwood is nearing a cataract. They seem to be even

ignorant of the fact that they are on a driftwood. If they were

aware, how could they afford to hate one another, scheme against one

another, and be occupied with greed and hostility? The moment when

their driftwood falls down the cataract, what would anything mean to

one or another ant, friend or foe? This pathetic sight is nothing

but an epitome of today's mankind. " -Tamo-san(1957)Moor

 

 

" According to the Sacred Hoop and the prophecies, it is time to

share this ancient wisdom. It is time for the Great Purification. We

are at a point of no return. The two-legged are about to bring

destruction to life on Earth. It's happened before and it's about to

happen again. The Sacred Hoop shows how all things go in a circle.

The old becomes new, the new becomes old. Everything repeats. White

people have no culture. Culture is having roots in the Earth. People

without culture don't exist very long, because Nature is God.

Without a connection to Nature, the people drift, grow negative,

destroy themselves. In the beginning we had one mind, and it was

positive, a thing of beauty, seeing beauty everywhere. The Earth

People (indigenous natives) never wrote anything down, had no

written language. They knew that if they wrote anything down it

would be disastrous. If you write something down you don't have to

remember it. And mind goes off into unconsciousness. It becomes

negative, or unconscious force. " - Brave Buffalo, Brule Sioux Nation

(1985)

 

 

" We are no longer alert. We continuously lie to our children and

teach them to be liars. Easter bunnies, Santa Claus, denying what

their senses tell them, these are all lies. If you're well educated

you'll work to hurt people, you'll do the work of big institutions.

You'll work to make alcohol, drugs, TV, schools, religion, things to

put people's minds to sleep. " - Grace Spotted Eagle Inuit Native

American (1985)

 

 

" When I look, I find that there is no more dreadful a disease than

fear. What else is there in life to be feared more that fear itself?

Fear paralyzes the very being of a person. Fear destroys the whole

capacity for rebellion. Fear makes any change impossible. Fear binds

one to the known, and the journey to the unknown is completely

stopped - although whatever is worth knowing and achieving in life

is all unknown. God is unknown. Truth is unknown. Beauty is unknown.

Love is unknown. But the fearful mind always clings to the known. It

does not go beyond the drawn line. It walks on the beaten track. The

fearful person becomes mechanical, and he is no different than the

drudge. Religions teach fear: fear of hell, fear of sins and fear of

punishment. Society teaches fear - fear of dishonor. Education

teaches fear - fear of failure. Simultaneously there is greed

attached - greed for heaven, greed for the fruits of virtue; greed

for respect, position, reputation, success and rewards. All greed is

the other side of the coin of fear. This way the consciousness of a

person becomes full of fear and greed. The fire of jealousy and

competition is aroused. The fever of ambition is created. There is

no wonder if, in all these circular patterns, life is wasted. Such

education is dangerous. Such religions are dangerous. Education is

that which teaches fearlessness, stabilizes one in non-greed, gives

energy to rebel, gives courage to accept the challenge of the

unknown. Education should not teach jealousy and competition, but

love; it should not encourage the insane speed of ambition, but

natural and self-inspired growth. But this can happen only if we

accept the uniqueness of everyone's individuality. " -Osho(1966)

 

 

'I do not want to belong to any organisation of a spiritual kind;

please understand this.... If an organisation be created for this

purpose, it becomes a crutch, a weakness, a bondage, and must

cripple the individual, and prevent him from growing, from

establishing his uniqueness, which lies in the discovery for himself

of that absolute, unconditioned Truth. " -Krishnamurti

 

 

" It is a miracle that curiosity survives formal education. " – Albert

Einstein

 

 

" If eyes were made for seeing, Then Beauty is its own excuse for

being. " - Ralph Waldo Emerson

 

 

I have no special talent. I am only passionately curious. Albert

Einstein

 

 

" The meeting of two personalities is like the contact of two

chemical substances: if there is any reaction, both are

transformed. " - Carl Jung

 

 

" Women who seek to be equal with men lack ambition. " Timothy Leary

 

 

" I was ecstatic they re-named 'French Fries' as 'Freedom Fries'.

Grown men and women in positions of power in the U.S. government

showing themselves as idiots. " -Johnny Depp

 

 

" They've outlawed the number one vegetable on the planet. " -Timothy

Leary

 

 

" The world is like a ride in an amusement park. And when you choose

to go on it, you think it's real because that's how powerful our

minds are. And the ride goes up and down and round and round. It has

thrills and chills and it's very brightly coloured and it's very

loud and it's fun, for a while. Some people have been on the ride

for a long time and they begin to question, is this real, or is this

just a ride? And other people have remembered, and they come back to

us, they say, " Hey - don't worry, don't be afraid, ever, because,

this is just a ride... And we... kill those people. " -Bill Hicks

 

 

" Nothing will benefit human health or increase the chances for

survival of life on earth as the evolution to a vegetarian diet . " -

Albert Einstein

 

 

" Once upon a time, I dreamt I was a butterfly, fluttering hither and

thither, to all intents and purposes a butterfly. I was conscious

only of following my fancies as a butterfly, and was unconscious of

my individuality as a man. Suddenly I awoke, and there I lay, myself

again.. Now I do not know whether I was then a man dreaming I was a

butterfly, or whether I am now a butterfly, dreaming that I am a

man. " -Chuang-Tzu, 3rd century BC

 

 

" If people are good only because they fear punishment, and hope for

reward, then we are a sorry lot indeed. " -Albert Einstein

 

 

Growing up is a trap. When they tell you to shut up, they mean stop

talking. when they tell you to grow up, they mean stop growing.

Reach a nice level plateau and settle there, predictable and

unchanging...if she's immature, it means she's still growing; if

she's still growing, it means she's still alive. Alive in a dying

culture. -dr robbins in 'even cowgirls get the blues', tom robbins

 

 

" We abuse land because we regard it as a commodity belonging to us.

When we see land as a community to which we belong, we may begin to

use it with love and respect. " -Aldo Leopold

 

 

" A friend is someone who gives you total freedom to be yourself. " -

Jim Morrison

 

 

" I wouldn't mind dying in a plane crash. It'd be a good way to go. I

don't want to die in my sleep, or of old age, or OD... I want to

feel what it's like. I want to taste it, hear it, smell it. Death is

only going to happen to you once; I don't want to miss it. " -Jim

Morrison

 

 

" Some of the worst mistakes of my life have been haircuts. " -Jim

Morrison

 

 

" The world is ready for a mystic revolution, a discovery of the God

in each of us. " George Harrison

 

 

" We are born at a given moment in a given place and like vintage

years of wine we have the qualities of the year and of the season in

which we are born. Astrology does not lay claim to anything else. " -

Carl Jung
