<p>&#8220;From every human being there arises a light that reaches straight to heaven. And when two souls destined to be together find each other, their streams of light flow together and a single, brighter light goes forth from their united being.&#8221;<br />
=<em>The Baal Shem Tov</em></p>
<p>&#8220;A human being is part of the whole called by us &#8220;universe,&#8221; a part limited in time and space. We experience ourselves, our thoughts and feelings as something separate from the rest&#8212;a kind of optical delusion of consciousness. This delusion isa kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty.&#8221;<br />
=<em>Albert Einstein</em></p>
<p>&#8220;Knowing others is intelligence. Knowing yourself is true wisdom. Mastering others is strength. Mastering yourself is true power.&#8221;<br />
=<em>Tao Te Ching</em></p>
<p>&#8220;There is in all visible things&#8230;..a hidden wholeness.&#8221;<br />
=<em>Thomas Merton</em></p>
<p>&#8220;With each true friendship, we build more firmly the foundation on which the peace of the whole world rests.&#8221;<br />
=<em>Mahatma Gandhi</em></p>
<p>&#8220;When you make the two one, and when you make the inner as the outer and the outer as the inner, and the above as the below, and when you make the male and female into a single one&#8212;then shall you enter the Kingdom.&#8221;<br />
=<em>Jesus</em></p>
<p>&#8220;Embody the three harmonies: within; with others: and with nature.&#8221;<br />
=<em>Robert Gilman</em></p>
<p>&#8220;My own working assumption is that we are here as local Universe information gatherers. We are given access to the divine design principles so that from them we can invent the tools that qualify us as problem solvers in support of the integrity of an eternally regenerative Universe.&#8221;<br />
=<em>Buckminster Fuller</em></p>
<p>&#8220;The only ones among you who will be truly happy are those who have sought and found how to serve.&#8221;<br />
=<em>Albert Schweitzer</em></p>
<p>&#8220;Human capacity is equal to human cruelty, and it&#8217;s up to each of us to tip the balance.&#8221;<br />
=<em>Alice Walker</em></p>
<p>&#8220;We must have a pure, honet, and warm-hearted motivation, and on top of that, determination, optimism, hope, and the ability not to be discouraged. The whole of humanity depends on this motivation.&#8221;<br />
=<em>The Dalai Lama</em></p>
<p>&#8220;In human relationships, as mutual love deepens, there comes a time when two friends convey their exchanges without words. They can sit in silence sharing an experience or simply enjoying each other&#8217;s presence without saying anything. Holding hands or a single word from time to time can develop this communication. This kind of relationship points to the level of interior silence&#8230;&#8221;<br />
=<em>Father Thomas Keating</em></p>
<p>&#8220;We cannot do great things in life; we can only do small things with great love.&#8221;<br />
=<em>Mother Teresa</em></p>
<p>&#8220;Spiritual practice is really about weaving a network of good relationships.&#8221;<br />
=<em>Dhyani Ywahoo</em></p>
<p>&#8220;Security is mostly a superstition, it does not exist in nature, nor do the children of men as a whole experience it. Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. Life is either a daring adventure or nothing at all!&#8221;<br />
=<em>Helen Keller</em></p>
<p>&#8220;You and I and everything in the universe exist as a part of the endless flow of God&#8217;s love. Realizing this, we recognize that all creation is bound together by the same benelovence. To harmonize with life is to come into accord with that part of God which flows through all things. To foster and protect all life is both our mission and our prayer.&#8221;<br />
=<em>Morihei Ueshiba, I&#8217;Sensei</em></p>
<p>&#8220;I am not bound to win but I am bound to be true. I am not bound to succeed but I am bound to live up to what light I have.&#8221;<br />
=<em>Abraham Lincoln</em></p>
<p>&#8220;The conclusion is always the same: love is the most powerful and still the most unknown energy of the world.&#8221;<br />
=<em>Pierre Teilhard de Chardin</em></p>
<p>&#8220;Do not pursue the past. Do not lose yourself in the future. The past no longer is, and the future has not yet come. Look deeply at life, just as it is arising in the very here and now. Recognize it&#8212;invincible, unshakable. Care for it with your heart and mind.&#8221;<br />
=<em>The Buddha</em></p>
<p>&#8220;We are perceivers. The world that we perceive though is an illusion. It was created by a description that was told to us since the moment we were born.&#8221;<br />
=<em>Don Juan</em></p>
<p>&#8220;Our truest life is when we are in our dreams awake!&#8221;<br />
=<em>Henry David Thoreau</em></p>
<p>&#8220;All real living is meeting.&#8221;<br />
=<em>Martin Buber</em></p>
<p>&#8220;When you meet anyone, remember it is a holy encounter.&#8221;<br />
=<em>A Course in Miracles</em>

<p>&#8220;When you make the two one, and when you make the inner as the outer and the outer as the inner, and the above as the below, and when you make the male and female into a single one&#8212;then shall you enter the Kingdom.&#8221;<br />

<p>&#8220;My own working assumption is that we are here as local Universe information gatherers.

<p>&#8220;We must have a pure, honet, and warm-hearted motivation, and on top of that, determination, optimism, hope, and the ability not to be discouraged. The whole of humanity depends on this motivation.&#8221;<br />
=<em>The Dalai Lama</em></p>
<p>&#8220;In human relationships, as mutual love deepens, there comes a time when two friends convey their exchanges without words. They can sit in silence sharing an experience or simply enjoying each other&#8217;s presence without saying anything. Holding hands or a single word from time to time can develop this communication. This kind of relationship points to the level of interior silence&#8230;&#8221;<br />

<p>&#8220;We cannot do great things in life; we can only do small things with great love.&#8221;<br />

=<em>Dhyani Ywahoo</em></p>
<p>&#8220;Security is mostly a superstition, it does not exist in nature, nor do the children of men as a whole experience it. Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. Life is either a daring adventure or nothing at all!&#8221;<br />
=<em>Helen Keller</em></p>
<p>&#8220;You and I and everything in the universe exist as a part of the endless flow of God&#8217;s love. Realizing this, we recognize that all creation is bound together by the same benelovence. To harmonize with life is to come into accord with that part of God which flows through all things. To foster and protect all life is both our mission and our prayer.&#8221;<br />
=<em>Morihei Ueshiba, I&#8217;Sensei</em></p>
<p>&#8220;I am not bound to win but I am bound to be true. I am not bound to succeed but I am bound to live up to what light I have.&#8221;<br />
=<em>Abraham Lincoln</em></p>
<p>&#8220;The conclusion is always the same: love is the most powerful and still the most unknown energy of the world.&#8221;<br />
=<em>Pierre Teilhard de Chardin</em></p>
<p>&#8220;Do not pursue the past. Do not lose yourself in the future. The past no longer is, and the future has not yet come. Look deeply at life, just as it is arising in the very here and now. Recognize it&#8212;invincible, unshakable. Care for it with your heart and mind.&#8221;<br />

<p>&#8220;We are perceivers. The world that we perceive though is an illusion. It was created by a description that was told to us since the moment we were born.&#8221;<br />

<p>&#8220;From every human being there arises a light that reaches straight to heaven. And when two souls destined to be together find each other, their streams of light flow together and a single, brighter light goes forth from their united being.&#8221;<br />
=<em>The Baal Shem Tov</em></p>
<p>&#8220;A human being is part of the whole called by us &#8220;universe,&#8221; a part limited in time and space. We experience ourselves, our thoughts and feelings as something separate from the rest&#8212;a kind of optical delusion of consciousness. This delusion isa kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty.&#8221;<br />
=<em>Albert Einstein</em></p>
<p>&#8220;Knowing others is intelligence. Knowing yourself is true wisdom. Mastering others is strength. Mastering yourself is true power.&#8221;<br />
=<em>Tao Te Ching</em></p>
<p>&#8220;There is in all visible things&#8230;..a hidden wholeness.&#8221;<br />
