Brain
Works
"The brain
is fluid, a constantly changing instrument of extreme subtlety.
Just as no one can step into the same river twice, so too can no
one think the same thought twice. For the act of thinking changes
the thinker. Indeed, the thinker is the thought; the thought gives
birth to the thinker who, in turn, creates the thought anew....The
unfolding of meaning in time produces the whole gesture of the mind's
dance. Within this gesture, brain and consciousness are sustained
just as the fountain lives by virtue of the water that flows through
it." - David Peat
"The human
mind is the design that designs itself---and continually redesigns
itself. As a designer of yourself, you never know more than yourself."
- David Perkins Harvard University

so constituted that we believe the most incredible things; and once
they are engraved upon the memory, woe to him who would endeavor
to erase them." - Goethe 1774

you are." - Thomas Dreir
Choice

a complicated life is a great way to avoid changing it."

we can know that we are aligned with the life force that is God
is that we feel more and more alive. Notice what gives you aliveness
and what diminishes you, deadens and numbs you so that you only
skim the surface of life. Begin to say yes to what quickens and
energizes, to that which brings joy and gratitude."
- Mary Morrissey

decide on a matter, and it will be established for you, and light

I Give... it Up!
"When

"The pain-body

energy that is no longer flowing." - Eckert Tolle
"Your
task is not to seek for love, but to find the barriers in yourself
that you have built against it." - A Course in Miracles,

"The universe
operates through dynamic exchange, giving and receiving are different
aspects of the flow of energy in the universe. And in our willingness
to give that which we seek, we keep the abundance of the universe
circulating in our lives". - Depak Chopra
"Surrender
is surrender to this moment, not to a story through which you interpret
this moment and then try to resign yourself to it. When you completely
accept this moment, when you no longer argue with what is, the compulsion
to think lessens and is replaced by an alert stillness. This state
of inner consciousness is infinitely greater than the human mind."
- Eckert Tolle
The
Eye of the Storm - A Circle
"Just
remain in the center, (circle) watching, and then forget that you
are there." - Lao-Tzu
"The eye
is the first circle; the horizon which it forms is the second; and
throughout nature this primary figure is repeated without end".
- Ralph Waldo Emerson
"Everything
an Indian does is in a circle, and that is because the Power of
the World always works in circles, and everything tries to be round.
The sky is Round, and I have heard that the earth is round like
a ball, and so are all the stars. The wind in its greatest power,
whirls. Birds make their nests in circles, for theirs is the same
religion as ours. The sun comes forth and goes down again in a circle.
The moon does the same, and both are round. Even the seasons form
a great circle in their changing, and always come back again to
where they were. The life of a man is a circle from childhood to
childhood, and so it is in everything where Power moves".
- Black Elk
"The circle,
unlike the man-made squares and rectangles of cribs and coffins,
walls and windows that 'box' us in, is a natural, flowing, organic
shape. Circles are the first intelligible shapes to appear in children's
drawings. -
Gabriele Rico Writing the Natural Way
By its very
nature the circle centers, focuses. For this reason, circling my
mind-spills and connecting them to make webs seemed a natural act.
As the cluster expanded before my eyes, each encircled mini-whole
gradually became part of a larger whole, a pattern of meaning that
took shape when I began to write. -
Gabriele Rico Writing the Natural Way
The circle
implicitly suggests bringing into being, activating, animating the
pattern-making forces of the creative process. A circle is beginning
and birth, womb and egg. It is wholeness." -
Gabriele Rico Writing the Natural Way
Be
Still, the Present Speaks
"The world
will confuse you. Silence will speak more to you in a day than the
world of voices can teach in a lifetime. Find it, find solitude—and
having discovered her riches, bind her in your heart".
- Frances J. Roberts
"The truth
is the only power that is, is contained within this moment. It is
the power of your presence. Once you know that, you also realize
that you are responsible for your inner space now - nobody else
is - and that the past cannot Prevail against the power of the Now."
- Eckert Tolle
"Silence
is the language God speaks, and everything else is a bad translation."
- Thomas Keating
"I will
go before you and make the crooked paths straight."
- Isaiah 45:2
"Everything
has its wonders, even darkness and silence, and I learn, whatever
state I may be in, therein to be content." - Helen
Keller
"We can
count on that presence which makes itself known through feelings,
dreams and synchronicities. Intuition is a natural state of consciousness
in which our small isolated mind opens to the bid mind of the divine."
- Joan Borysenko
"With
intuition, we know what we need to know, right when we need to know
it. The universe, it seems, doesn't waste time or energy. Intuition
presents information to us when we need it, not a moment too soon
or too late, and uses any means available to reach us."
- Penney Peirce
"Intuition
is not a startling gift that is the province of a few psychics.
It is less about the divining the future than it is about entering
more authentically into the present. Intuition is always operative,
so common that it often evades conscious recognition."
- Joan Borysenko
"Nothing
in all creation is so like God as stillness." - Meister
Eckhart
Live,
Dream With No Limits
"There
is no separation between us and God. We are divine expressions of
the creative principle. There can be no real lack or scarcity; there
is nothing we have to try to achieve or attract; we contain the
potential for everything within us."
"I will
give you the land that you see." -
Old Testament
"Do the
thing and you will have the power." - Ralph Waldo
Emerson
"Life
can only be understood backwards, but it must be lived forwards."
- Soren Kierkegaard
"Man is
so made that when anything fires his soul, impossibilities vanish".
- Jean de la Fontaine
"A frontier
is never a place; it is a way of life." - Hal Borland
"The intellect
has little to do on the road to discovery. There comes a leap in
consciousness, call it intuition or what you will, and the solution
comes to you, and you don't' know how or why." - Albert
Einstein
"We are
so captivated by and entangled in our subjective consciousness that
we have forgotten the age-old fact that God speaks chiefly through
dreams and visions." - Carl Jung
"For I
know the plans I have for you. Plans to prosper you, give you a
future and a Hope." - Jeremiah 29:11
