A collection of quotes will start to grow here. It is my intent that they would all , in one way or another , help to support or encourage others to expand their concept of mind , body , or spirit.

“The larger the island of knowledge, the longer the shoreline of wonder.”

~ Ralf W. Sockman

“Believe nothing.
No matter where you read it,
Or who said it,
Even if I have said it,
Unless it agrees with your own reason
And your own common sense.”

~ Buddha

“Your pain is the breaking of the shell that encloses your understanding. Even as the stone of the fruit must break, that its heart may stand in the sun, so must you know pain. And could you keep your heart in wonder at the daily miracles of your life, your pain would not seem less wondrous than your joy; And you would accept the seasons of your heart, even as you have always accepted the seasons that pass over your fields. And you would watch with serenity through the winters of your grief.”

~ Kahlil Gibran

Terence Mckenna is amazing ... have you heard some of his audio recordings ....

go now! listen to them all!

(Thanks Jolio for posting this on your site ... I found it and could not help but spread it.)

Treat everyone you meet
like God in drag.

We are moving toward a light that
embraces the darkness.

You and I are the force for
transformation in the world.
We are the consciousness that
will define the nature of the reality
we are moving into.

My goal isn’t to take away your
confusion. Confusion is a fertile field
in which everything is possible.
If you think you “know, ” you’ve just
calcified again.

Creativity springs from the yearning to
be the fullness of who you are.

Entheogens have given this
culture a spiritual infusion, and an
openness to Eastern religions and
mystical traditions.

The ‘60s aren’t dead; fragments of
the psychedelic message are
everywhere around us in politics, in art, everywhere.

As one individual changes,
the system changes.


from Ram Dass, One Liners:A Mini-Manual for a Spiritual Life

The fear of death is the result of misunderstanding Life.
~ Andrew Rutajit

"Those who argue and discuss without understanding the truth are lost amid all the forms of relative knowledge, running about here and there and trying to justify their view of the substance of ego.

If you realize the self in your inmost consciousness, it will appear in its purity. This is the womb of wonder, which is not the realm of those who live only by reason.

Pure in its own nature and free from the categories of finite and infinite, Universal Mind is the undefiled wonder, which is wrongly apprehended by many."

-Lankavatara Sutra

"The shaman seers of the Fourth World generally agree that those who tenaciously cling to the past will fall into mass insanity. The serpent power of the Aquarian Age is upon us. The Kundalini of Gaia is about to awaken. No one can avoid being affected. Most human beings may go out of their minds; others will go beyond mind."
—John Hogue
