                       JUST WATCHED “Seven Years in Tibet”. was mesmerized!

MICEL CIMENT AT 85, HE REMAINED, when the lights went out and the magic lantern began to dispense onscreen its dream-colors, a child in wonderment. 

NO ONE IS MORE HATED THAN HE WHO SPEAKS THE TRUTH.    PLATO

DAVID BOHN 1917-1992—“QUANTUM THEORY” “THE ENDING OF TIME”             

         THOUGHT CREATES OUR WORLD AND THEN SAYS ‘I DIDN’T DO IT.’ 

ULTIMATELY, all moments are really one, therefore now is an eternity.

         WE ARE ALL LINKED BY A FABRIC OF UNSEEN CONNECTIONS. THIS FABRIC IS CONSTANTLY CHANGING & EVOLVING. THIS FIELD IS DIRECTLY STRUCTURED & INFLUENCED BY OUR BEHAVIOR & BY OUR UNDERSTANDING. 

      REAL DIALOGUE is where two or more people become willing to suspend their certainty in each other’s presence. 

TO CHANGE YOUR REALITY YOU HAVE TO CHANGE YOUR INNER THOUGHTS.

       ULTIMATELY, the entire universe . . . has to be understood as a single undivided whole. 

           THOUGHT RUNS YOU. Thought, however, gives false info that you are running it, that you are the one who controls it. whereas actually thought is the one which controls each one of us. 

      SPACE is not empty. It is full, a plenum as opposed to a vacuum and is the ground for the existence of everything, including ourselves. The universe is not separate from this cosmic sea of energy. 

              WE COULD SAY that practically all the problems of the human race are due to the fact that thought is not proprioceptive. 

        THE ABILITY to perceive or think differently is more important than the knowledge gained. 

                  INDIVIDUALITY is only possible if it unfolds from within. 

     IN NATURE nothing remains constant. Everything is in a perpetual state of transformation, motion and change. 

                            EGO-centerdness is not individuality at all. 

        IN THE LONG RUN it is far more dangerous to adhere to illusion than to face what the actual fact is.

              DEEP DOWN the consciousness of mankind is one. This is a virtual certainty because even in the vacuum matter is one; and if we don’t see this, it’s because we are blinding ourselves to it. 

      DIALOGUE is a space where we may see the assumptions which lay beneath the surface of our thoughts, assumptions which drive us, assumptions around which we build organizations, create economies, form nations and religions. These assumptions become habitual, mental habits that drive us, confuse us and prevent our responding intelligently to the challenges we face every day.  

         IN some sense man is a microcosm of the universe; therefore what man is, is a clue to the universe. We are enfolded in the universe. 

           SUPPOSE we were able to share meanings freely without a compulsive urge to impose our view or conform to those of others and without distortion and self-deception. Would this not constitute a real revolution in culture. 

         CAN WE LEARN to become more learning-oriented individually and collectively rather than ‘I know’ oriented?

 . . . CONSCIOUSNESS is a coherent whole, which is never static or complete but which is in an unending process of movement and unfoldment.
