Universe

Posted by PJ under consciousness, light, quote of the day, the universe
No Comments

Random quote of the day:

“I suspect that the Universe became conscious on the energetic level long before it became conscious on the physical level. We are a penetration of consciousness into a dense, thick and dark place that has really never been penetrated by light. We are that spark of light.”

—Whitley Streiber, lecture, “Angels, aliens and archetypes,” San Francisco, 1987

Business

Posted by PJ under business, quote of the day
No Comments

Random quote of the day:

“Business is not only an art and a science but a hobby. Managers like to play with their enterprises. Change is a sort of merchandising fetish. It is not necessarily an improvement. Indeed, it is sometimes a step backward.”

—Brooks Atkinson, Once Around the Sun

Shadow

Posted by PJ under action and activism, love, quote of the day, the shadow, thought, words
No Comments

Random quote of the day:

“The thought manifests as the word,
The word manifests as the deed,
The deed develops into a habit,
And habit hardens in character,

So watch the thought and it’s ways with care,
And let it spring from love,
Born out of concern for all beings…

As the shadow follows the body,
As we think so we become.

—Buddha, The Dhammapada

Posted by PJ under black lives matter, quote of the day, racism, soul

Leaps

Posted by PJ under art, organic writing, quote of the day, writers, writing
No Comments

Random quote of the day:

“The true artist will write in, as it were, small leaps, on a hundred subjects that surge unawares into his mind. In this way, nothing is forced. Everything has an unwilled, natural charm. One does not provoke: one waits.”

—Jules Renard, Journal, September 1887 (ed. & tr. Louise Bogan and Elizabeth Roget)

Grasp

Posted by PJ under power, quote of the day
No Comments

Random quote of the day:

“I am more and more convinced that Man is a dangerous creature, and that power whether vested in many or a few is ever grasping, and like the grave cries give, give. The great fish swallow up the small, and he who is most strenuous for the Rights of the people, when vested with power, is as eager after the perogatives of Government.”

—Abigail Adams, letter to John Adams, November 27, 1775

Voices

Posted by PJ under angels, heroes, myth, quote of the day
No Comments

Random quote of the day:

“Heroes in moments of crisis are said to hear “angel voices” telling them what to do next… And if you swap the word “instinct” for “angel-voice,” you come close to the more psychologically-minded mythographers: that myths are fragments of the soul-life of Early Man.”

—Bruce Chatwin, The Songlines
