Where there is no vision, the people perish.
~Proverbs 29:18
There is a power within you and when you use it
it spreads all around you like a beautiful garden
and when you do not use it, it recedes from you.
Álvar Núñez Cabeza de Vaca
All who think cannot but see there is a sanction like that of religion
which binds us in partnership in the serious work of the world.
Benjamin Franklin
"Imagine for a moment your own version of a perfect future.
See yourself in that future with everything you could wish for at this very moment fulfilled.
Now take the memory of that future and bring it here into the present.
Let it influence how you will behave from this moment on."
"The spiritual meaning of love is measured by what it can do.
Love is meant to heal.
Love is meant to renew.
Love is meant to bring us closer to God." Deepak Chopra
"Where love rules, there is no will to power; and where power predominates, there love is lacking. The one is the shadow of the other."
--The Psychology of the Unconscious, 1943
"If people can be educated to see the lowly side of their own natures, it may be hoped that they will also learn to understand and to love their fellow men better. A little less hypocrisy and a little more tolerance towards oneself can only have good results in respect for our neighbor; for we are all too prone to transfer to our fellows the injustice and violence we inflict upon our own natures."
--Two Essays on Analytical Psychology: New Paths in Psychology, 1912
"We need more understanding of human nature, because the only real danger that exists is man himself . . . We know nothing of man, far too little. His psyche should be studied because we are the origin of all coming evil."
—BBC interview, 1959 Carl Jung
"Monsters from the id." Forbidden Planet
We must eradicate from the soul all fear and terror of what comes towards Man, out of the future. We must acquire serenity in all feelings and sensations about the future. We must look forward with absolute equanimity to everything that may come. And we must think only that whatever comes is given to us by a world-directive full of wisdom. It is part of what we must learn in this age, namely, to live out of pure trust, without any security in existence – trust in the ever-present help of the spiritual world. Truly, nothing else will do if our courage is not to fail us. And let us seek the awakening from within ourselves, every morning and every evening. Rudolf Steiner
Every soul that reaches God enters the majestic secret,
turns from a snake into a fish,
leaves solid earth, dives into the sea,
swims in the river of paradise.
The soul moves from earthly bondage
to the kingdom without place. Rumi (Sufi mystic poet)
I have seen flowers come in stony places
And kind things done by men with ugly faces
And the gold cup won by the worst horse at the races,
So I trust too. - John Masefield
When the blazing sun hangs low in the western sky
When the wind dies away on the mountain
When the song of the meadowlark turns still
When the field lotus clicks no more in the field
And the sea foams sleeps like a maiden at rest
And twilight touches the shape of the wondering earth
I turn home
Through blue shadows and purple woods
I turn home
I turn to the place that I was born
To the mother who bore me and the father who taught me
Long ago
Long ago
Long ago
Alone am I now lost and alone in a far wide wondering world
Yet still when the blazing sun hangs low
When the wind dies away and the sea foam sleeps
And twilight touches the wondering earth
I turn home excerpt from Spartacus 1960
Finally, we know that life exists on the Earth and as far as we know no where else. How is it possible that with that knowledge we do not see life as holy and unique in an endless cold dark universe? We share a tremendous lack of imagination and insight. which left unconscious will be our ruin. Stephen Knutson
