Wisdom 101

Max Planck
"All matter originates and exists only by virtue of a force... We must assume behind this force the existence of a conscious and intelligent Mind. This Mind is the matrix of all matter."


Albert Einstein
"Imagination is more important than knowledge."


Maharishi Mahesh Yogi
"All that we are is the result of what we have thought. The mind is everything. What we think, we become."

Obedience is not creation. Creation is pure choice, an act of conscience volition.

When God is made flesh, then does the soul know itself in its own experience.

Food, drink, reproduction and nest building are roles of men...and chimpanzees...
but our human soul or brain or consciousness realizes that all one day will die.
This recognition of mortality seeds the belief in transcendence.....
so we strut and fret upon this stage, creating our imaginings as the gods and fallen angels did before, covering and distracting the true image of who we are. Most of us are pretenders, building a false aura around our already perfect essence. We establish belief systems to console and shield ourselves from a false fear of not knowing.


Max Planck
"Science cannot solve the ultimate mystery of nature. And that is because, in the last analysis, we ourselves are a part of the mystery that we are trying to solve."


Wayne Dyer
"When you change the way you look at things the things you look at change."


Harry Palmer
"Following another's path leads to who they are, not to who you are."


Deepak Chopra
"Human beings are made of body, mind and spirit. Of these, spirit is primary, for it connects us to the source of everything, the eternal field of consciousness."


Brian Tracy
"The establishment of a clear, central purpose or goal in life is the starting point of all success."

What you sow, so shall you reap. Do you sow weeds or flowers?

Man exists and in that existence, man defines himself and the world in his own subjectivity and wanders between choice, freedom and existential angst....and this too is only a belief system.

Many of us do not Accept who we are! We decorate ourselves with bobbles and beads and borrowed concepts and wiley words in a desperate dance to say LOOK! I'm here. I need to be noticed. Soon, we find that even that is not enough. Money, fame and fortune (success?) are
but temporary diversions on our journey... and the journey is forever. Enjoy the blessings of life.

We Are

Did I not tell you
Trust the flow of life
Breathe in the magic
Banish all doubt and
Engage all possibilities.
Through dimensional mansions
Transcend beyond earthly cares
And bring forth divine emanations
Expressing Spiritus primaevus,
The One you arrived with
And the One you will leave with
And the One you will arrive with.
Listen to the gods whisper and
Be your own prophet, realizing
That the image within
Connects with Creation and
Being part of this thunder,
We experience the wonder.

No Peace I Find

Few people are capable of expressing with equanimity opinions which differ from the prejudices of their social environment. Most people are even incapable of forming such opinions.
Albert EinsteinUS (German-born) physicist (1879 - 1955)

Beyond Existentialism

Words are just loud thoughts. Thoughts require thinking. Thinking promotes reason. Reason is an attempt to justify our existence, of which there is no justified reason. Reason is subjective supposition, arbitrary and flawed. It is related to the constant of change, evolution and the trickery of thought.

The true essence or enity that I am needs no rationalization. If I am, only because I think I am, then to try and rationalize the reason that I am becomes unreasonable. So, I adopt a philosophy, usually based on what others have told or educated me, in an attempt to placate the fear and angst of not knowing who I am or what I am doing here. I may just be or I may adopt some cause or REASON to justify my existence and to cover the emotions of anxiety, dread, death and meaninglessness.

The true me, the I am, is not of this world. This is not its true home. The minds dishonest quest to convince it of such only confuses reality. We are told something is a "word", we believe it. This becomes part of our belief system. It is only a belief and is subject to change or re-definition. I am a doctor, lawyer, artist. These are "what I do", not who I am! I am a Catholic, Jew, Muslim.
These are only belief systems, not who you are!

If I "think" I am, then I doubt that I am. My true idenity needs no thought (justification). It is or it is not but it cannot "not be" We will BE whether we want to or not. I am in spite of my thoughts. My choice is to think or not and/or react. This is the absurd folly of this existence. We create reason when there is none. We play this "life game" on several levels with such serious intent but in the end, here, we may become someones thought or a number/name written down.
We laugh, we cry ,we kill ,we lie. We hear, we speak, we touch, we taste. We sense that we are only visitors, actors upon a stage, playing our parts and waiting for the "final curtain". Cannot we be, content to be?

Be Known

With whom cannot I waste the day alone,
Among these birds and beasts of whom I rule
A grander home, I sooner left, be known.

But here, not there, my soul desires to live.
As human thoughts of past are stored in vaults,
To hide what one has done, a gift to give.

For not alone, we wander thru this plane.
Joined in strength together with friend and mate,
We form a journey's union and not in vain.

Angels rejoice as spirit forms a bond.
Michael, Uriel, Jibrael, all go forth,
Their watch is kept, times seven and beyond.

We're born into a world, not of our own.
To seek and toil and wonder why we're here.
But fear and doubt are seeds, rebellion-sown.

For spirit knows it knows, there are no no's!
Designed to lead us thru the foulest air,
Then gird us strong with faith that grows and grows.
