"The future is not envisioned by think tanks like The Stanford Research Institute,
but through artists, visionaries, mystics and crazies"
M.I.T. Cultural and Futures Historian Bill Thompson
"There is a great need today for what can best be termed a consciousness of the future.
If we are to survive into the future, it is incumbent upon us to supplant the old,
unworkable thought patterns with new ways of thinking
before those old ways capture and destroy us."
BURT WILSON
"Success is not measured by financial or social status.
Success for an individual is finding a balance of negative and positive energies,
gaining knowledge, breaking karmic links, and covering new ground
for even greater learning."
RAKORSKI
"The world is my country and to do good is my religion."
THOMAS PAINE
"Your service in this transformational age is to create your world
to be the paradise it could be."
BASHAR
"No one knows what simple, natural forces of which we know nothing but which are
within our grasp could be made use of by a (hu)man endowed with an 'awakened' consciousness."
LOUIS PAUWELS & JACQUES BERGIER
"There is within you, the impetus to explore, to expand, to create,
and that will automatically lead you to explore inner lands of consciousness;
as, in your terms, it has led you to explore the other countries of the physical world."
SETH
"The significant problems we face today cannot be solved
by the same level of thinking that created them."
ALBERT EINSTEIN
"If I am right, the whole of our thinking about what we are and what other people are has
got to be restructured...the most important task today is to learn to think in a new way."
GREGORY BATESON
"Oh that all would realize...that what we are- in any given experience or time-
is the combined results of what we have done about the ideals we have set!"
EDGAR CAYCE
"If the people would change their minds and really be spiritual, there would be no need
for arms and fighting. Everything could be settled by speaking the truth.
But now, people wouldn't know the truth if you spoke it. It only upsets them.
It hurts their ego. And then you are their enemy."
GRANDFATHER SEMU HUARTE
"We live in this world in order always to learn industriously and to enlighten each other
by means of discussion, and to strive vigorously to promote the progress
of science and the fine arts."
AMADEUS MOZART
May I become at all times, both now and forever; a protector for those without protection,
a guide for those who have lost their way, a ship for those who have oceans to cross,
a bridge for those with rivers to cross, a sanctuary for those in danger, a lamp for those
without light, a place of refuge for those who lack shelter and a servant to all in need.
The Dalai Lama
"Our great human adventure is the evolution of consciousness.
We are in this life to enlarge the soul and light up the brain."
(unknown)
"It's utterly insignificant what we do,
but of the utmost importance that we do it"
Gandhi
"Good judgement comes from experience.
Unfortunately, the experience usually comes from bad judgement."
(unknown)
"What we need is not the will to believe, but the wish to find out."
Bertrand Russell
"Before the beginning of great brilliance, there must be chaos.
Before a brilliant person begins something great, they must look foolish to the crowd"
(unknown)
"Each of us is put here in this time and this place
to personally decide the future of humankind.
Did you think were you put here for something less?"
Chief Arvol Looking Horse
KNOWLEDGE
"As our knowledge grows there must be a million or more genes in our nuclei
that we are just not using - we have enormous genetic deposit accounts on
which we could presumably draw in times of need."
LYALL WATSON
"Great ideas often receive violent opposition from mediocre minds."
ALBERT EINSTEIN
"The resistance to any new idea is proportional to it's importance".
BERTRAND RUSSELL
"In presuming to compare men and machines, we are stepping into turbulent
philosophical and metaphysical waters. We make no apology for this."
IGOR ALEKSANDER & PIERS BURNETT
"Wisdom is knowing how little we know."
SOCRATES
"The Universe is full of magical things, patiently waiting for our wits to grow sharper"
Eden Philpotts
"The game of evolution is new information"
(Unknown)
'Tis better to light a candle than to curse the darkness.
Stevenson
If the brain were so simple we could understand it, we would be so simple we couldn't.
Lyall Watson
"Though our smoke may hide the heavens from your eyes,
It will vanish and the stars will shine again,
Because, for all our power and weight and size,
We are nothing more than children of your brain."
RUDYARD KIPLING
"Know a grain of sand completely and you know the universe in its entirety."
WILLIAM BLAKE
"We are the creature that communicates, and thinks about communicating:
Homo sapiens fiberopticus. Our human propensity for embracing new communication
tools and using them to remake ourselves is where telecommunications research
converges with virtual reality."
HOWARD RHEINGOLD
"It is easy to see why so many scientists and medical professionals are nihilist or atheist
in their public stance. But even so, many are forced into a belief image of survival owing to
cultural pressure or hidden hopes and guilts. Moreover, scientific and medical researchers
are inadvertent participants in the Earth Life System predator process. As such, they are
prone to adjust their data to suit their needs as much as anyone else.
Nevertheless, some of our greatest scientists have deduced that we are more than our
physical bodies, or at least that our mind is more than the output of our brain."
ROBERT A.MONROE
"The intuitive mind is a sacred gift and the rational mind is a faithful servant.
We have created a society that honors the servant and has forgotten the gift."
Albert Einstein
"Even if you are in a minority of one,
the truth is still the truth".
Gandhi
"Imagination is more important than knowledge."
Albert Einstein
UNITY
"To have the awareness that everything is made of one conscious energy is not only the
highest science but the highest religion. No matter what we accomplish in the world,
if we do not achieve this awareness of equality, none of it will be of any use."
SWAMI MUKTANANDA
"Let us remember that we are all one. This is the great learning/teaching.
In this unity lies love. This is a great learn/teaching. In this unity lies light.
This is the fundamental teaching of all planes of existence in materialization.
Unity, love, light, and joy; this is the heart of evolution of the spirit...
The universe, its mystery unbroken, is one."
RA
"I'm a great believer in the idea that we create our own reality.
I think we put out a magnetic pulse, a magnetic vibration like a broadcast,
which is unique to us. It reflects exactly our sense of reality and our sense of self.
I feel that this magnetic broadcast then attracts to it other magnetic fields
(people, places, ways of life, experiences) which create, in effect an exact physical replica
of our subconscious mind in front of our eyes. I think that all the people and experiences,
the things we attract into our lives, are actually reflecting back as part of us."
DAVID ICKE
"I do not belong to any church but I do consider myself a religious man.
I believe that I am a part of you and you are a part of me and we are a part of all life . . .
also a part of the creative force and intelligence behind life.
Therefore, if we are a part of God then our lives are not brief meaningless things,
but rather have a great importance and significance. All of us and each of us."
GENE RODDENBERRY
"This we know. The Earth does not belong to man; man belongs to the Earth. This we
know. All things are connected like blood which unites one family. All things are connected.
Whatever befalls the Earth befalls the sons of the Earth. Man did not weave the web of
life; he is merely a strand in it. Whatever he does to the Web, he does to himself."
CHIEF SEATTLE
"The answer to the puzzle of life, is so simple, it is too simple for most humans to understand,
it is something they all know instinctively, yet go to great effort to reject or build complicated
superstitiions about - all life, all consciousness is indissolubly bound together,
indeed it is all part of the same thing"
STAR TREK - TNG
"Iedereen is van de wereld, en de wereld is van iedereen."
(Everybody belongs to the world and the world belongs to everyone.)
Dutch Saying
CHANGE
"Root and branch shall change places
and the newness of the thing shall pass as a miracle."
MERLIN
"Men are made uneasy; they flinch; they cannot bear the sudden light;
a general restlessness supervenes; the face of society is disturbed,
or perhaps convulsed; old interests and old beliefs have been destroyed
before new ones have been created.
These symptoms are the precursors of revolution; they have preceded
all the great changes through which the world has passed."
Henry Thomas Buckle
"A new world is born. It is not the old world that is changing.
It is a new world which is born. And we are right in the middle of the transition period,
when the two overlap, when the old is still all-powerful and entirely controlling the ordinary
consciousness. But the new slips in, still very modest and unnoticed - so unnoticed that
externally it disturbs hardly anything... for the moment, and it is even absolutely
imperceptible in the consciousness of most people. But it is working, it is growing."
SATPREM
"And I saw a new Heaven and a new Earth;
for the first Heaven and the first Earth were passed away."
JOHN
"Life appears no longer a phenomenon unfolding in the universe
- the universe itself becomes increasingly alive."
ERIC JANSCH
"And spontaneously there occurred a sort of eruption, disrupting the individual poise and
the unconscious tranquility of the Infinite Soul with a recoil of tremendous shock which
impregnated the unconsciousness of its apparent separateness from the individual state."
METHER BABA
"When matter is becoming disturbed by non-equilibrium conditions it organizes itself;
it wakes up. It happens that our world is a non-equilibrium system."
ILYA PRIGOGINE
"We've seen this throughout history, of course, where innovators are
persecuted, burned at the stake. At the time of the Renaissance, the
visionary scientists and artists were a very small minority, and
were persecuted. Copernicus, for example, had to wait until he died
before the acceptance his ideas of the Sun being at the center of
the Solar System. Nowadays, I think it's very similar in many, many
ways, and it has to do with more with psychological deaths.
There are cases I've dealt with in my books of those who have done
tremendous pioneering work, only to later commit suicide, or be
murdered, or assassinated. There are such cases, and I think
historians of the 21st and 22nd centuries will look back at these
times and see the unsung heroes who have made tremendous
contributions to the new paradigm of science. So, we're right in the
middle of one of the Revolutions whether we acknowledge it or not."
BERTRAND RUSSEL
"Tradition is the illusion of permanence"
(Unknown)
"It only takes 20 years for a liberal to become a
conservative without changing a single idea."
Robert Anton Wilson
"Probably Gallileo himself would have gone farther in this direction
if his imagination had not been hampered by the necessity of arguing
with the Conservative Party. It is in general a mistake to waste time in
discussion with people who have the wrong idea in their heads.
But in Galileo's time and country the Conservative Party had thumbscrews
at its service and could thereby enforce a certain amount of attention to its ideas."
Alfred North Whitehead
"So many condemned and ridiculed ideas in the past,
have later become conventional wisdom"
David Icke
"Signs of an imminent revelation of inconceivalbe scope are now so abundant and clear
that only the wilfully blind can be unaware of the change in the psychic atmosphere."
JOHN MITCHELL
CONTROL
"All that is necessary for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing"
EDMUND BURKE
"How fortunate for those in power that the people never think."
Adolf Hitler
"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 Einstein
"Probably all education is but two things: first, the parrying of the ignorant children's
impetuous assault on the truth, and second, the gentle, imperceptible,
step-by-step initiation of the humiliated children into the Lie."
Franz Kafka
"If a baby from birth is told by loving parents that 2 + 2 SAD 3; and later at Sunday school,
Kindergaten, preparatory school, public school, and university this young mind is again told
by apparently clever and often highly respected teachers that 2 + 2 = 3; and if this same
teaching comes throught the mass media, backed by the weight of law, is it any wonder
that many people, often in very responsible positions, seriously believe that 2 + 2 = 3?"
MICHAEL ROLL
"Wherever there is oppression there is resistance"
(Unknown)
"Every great advance in natural knowledge
has involved the absolute rejection of authority."
Thomas Henry Huxley
"The exploitation of the poor can be extinguished not by effecting
the destruction of a few millionaires but by removing the ignorance
of the poor and teaching them to noncooperate with the exploiters."
Gandhi
"As long as we remain passive, we shall have in the course of our further existence to
submit slavishly to every caprice of all sorts of blind events, and as a result inevitably shall
serve soley as means for Nature's "involuntary and evolutionary constructions."
G.I. GURDJIEFF
"A system that does not allow dissent also ignores dissenting information."
(Unknown)
"In a time of universal deceit,
telling the truth is a revolutionary act."
GEORGE ORWELL
"Men fear thought as they fear nothing else on earth more than ruin more even than death.
Thought is subversive and revolutionary, destructive and terrible, thought is merciless
to privilege, established institutions, and comfortable habit.
Thought looks into the pit of hell and is not afraid. Thought is great and swift and free,
the light of the world, and the chief glory of man."
Erich Fromm
"100,000 Englishmen cannot control 300 million Indians
if those Indians will not cooperate."
GANDHI
"Dangerous freedom is preferable to safe tyranny"
(unknown)
"Thoughts that have important consequences are always simple.
All my thinking could be summed up with these words:
'Since corrupt people unite amongst themselves to constitute a force,
then honest people must do the same.' It is as simple as that."
Count Leo Nikolayevich Tolstoy
"What kind of men allow humanity to progress? The geniuses. Your world must take
advantage of the geniuses, and allow them to run the earth. You have successively had in
power the 'brutes' who were superior to others by their muscular strength, the rich, who
had the money to have 'brutes' at their service, and the politicians who have trapped the
people of the democratic countries with their own hopes, not to mention the military men
who have based their achievements on a rational organisation of brutalty.
The only type of men who have never been placed in power are the ones who make
humanity progress. Whether they discover the wheel, gunpowder, the motor engine or the
atom, the genius has always allowed the less intelligent men in power to benefit from his
inventions, although they often used the genius' peaceful inventions for murderous ends.
This must change!"
THE ELOHIM
"The prime cause for all these happenings is racial, national, religious, and political
prejudice, and the root of all this prejudice lies in outworn and deep-seated traditions, be
they religious, racial, national, or political. So long as these traditions remain, the
foundation of human edifice is insecure, and mankind itself is exposed to continuous peril."
'ABDUL'-BAHA
"Sometimes I wonder whether the world is being run by smart
people who are putting us on or by imbeciles who really mean it."
Mark Twain
HEALTH
"Nothing will benefit human health and increase chances for survival of life on Earth
as much as the evolution to a vegetarian diet. It is my view that the vegetarian
manner of living, by its purely physical effect on the human temperament,
would most beneficially influence the lot of mankind."
Albert Einstein
"I have from an early age abjured the use of meat, and the time will come when men
such as I will look upon the murder of animals as they now look upon the murder of men."
Leonardo Da Vinci
"The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated."
Gandhi
"It is man's sympathy with all creatures that first makes him truly a man.
Until he extends his circle of compassion to all living things, man will not himself find peace."
Albert Schweitzer
"If you have men who will exclude any of God's creatures from the shelter of compassion and pity,
you will have men who will deal likewise with their fellow men."
St. Francis of Assisi
"While we ourselves are the living graves of murdered beasts,
how can we expect any ideal conditions on this earth?"
George Bernard Shaw
"Non-violence leads to the highest ethics, which is the goal of all evolution.
Until we stop harming ALL other living beings, we are still savages."
Thomas A. Edison
"For as long as man continues to be the ruthless destroyer of lower living beings,
he will never know health or peace. For as long as men massacre animals, they will kill each other.
Indeed he who sows the seeds of murder and pain cannot reap joy and love"
Pythagoras
NON-TERRESTRIALS
"Any encounter with entities known to be of extraterrestrial origin is to be considered
to be a matter of national security and therefore classified TOP SECRET.
Under no circumstance is the general public or the public press to learn of the existence
of these entities. The official government policy is that such creatures do not exist,
and that no agency of the federal government is now engaged in any study of extraterrestrials
or their artifacts. Any deviation from this stated policy is absolutely forbidden."
12 Group Special Operations Manual of April 1954
"When we speak of 'flying saucers and the future', we have in mind not so much
interplanetary cultural and scientific exchange as the
eternal future of every person on the face of the Earth."
BARRY H. DOWNING
"Five hundred years ago, the astronomer Copernicus was condemned as a heretic
for saying that planet Earth wasn't the centre of the universe but merely a small part of it.
Now we laugh at those long-dead fools for not listening to the truth.
People who believe in aliens aren't all cranks and some may be looked upon in the future
as visionaries similar to Copernicus.
Meanwhile, the majority of us still believe mankind is the biological centre of the universe.
We will refuse to accept that intelligent life exists outside Earth unless we personally bump
into an alien while we're doing the shopping.
Is this attitude really any different from those "simpletons" of 500 years ago?"
Edgar Mitchell (Apollo Astronaut )
"If aliens exist, or if aliens don't exist, either way, it is a frightening thought.
If aliens don't exist, then we are alone, and that's very scary.
If we are not alone, that's even scarier, because look at the history of what happens
when different civilizations collided in the last four hundred years."
Arthur C. Clarke
"I know there are extraterrestrial beings who have a far wider knowledge of the forces
surrounding the Earth than any man on Earth."
FRANK LOCKWOOD
"Suppose Major Gagarin or Commander Sheppard had returned from space with
unmistakable evidence of other people's activity there, would we have altered our lives,
stopped making atom bombs or killing people on the roads or producing horrid advertising
or contriving an inflation squeeze? Of course not.
If we had wanted to change, we would have listened to information already given us.
Only if the Space People tried to force themselves on us
would we begin to take heed of them:
For instance by a further dose of inflation, while missile lorries hurtle murderously along
country roads in army exercises, and radio broadcasters explain how we must be prepared
to face 'enormous changes'.
A Golden Age of peace and justice cannot be thrust upon us.
So the Space People prefer to make contact with isolated individuals, here and there,
whilst giving them a picture of how things might be...if we were willing."
TONY WEDD
"At no time, when the astronauts were in space were they alone:
there was a constant surveillance by UFOs."
SCOTT CARPENTER/NASA
Quotes from the movie: "FIGHT CLUB"
"You are not your bank balance, your wallet or your car;
you are the all-dancing and all-singing crap of the world"
"It's only when you have lost everything, that your free to do anything"
"If you don't know what you want, you end up with a lot you don't"
"A moment is the most you can ever expect from perfection,
and your one perfect moment won't last forever."
"I don't want to die without any scars"
"Even the Mona Lisa is falling apart."
"Getting fired is the best thing that could happen to any of us.
That way, we'd quit treading water and do something with our lives."
"The liberator who destroys my property is fighting to save my spirit.
"The teacher who clears all possessions from my path will set me free."
"What we have to do for people, is to remind them of what kind of power they still have."
"Advertising has people chasing cars and clothes they don't need.
Generations have been working in jobs they hate, just so they can buy what they don't need
- We don't have a great war or great depression in our generation,
we have a great war of the spirit. We have a great revolution against the culture.
The great depression is our lives. We have a spiritual depression."
