Quotes from the Buddha

Quantum Physics

People seem to shy away from anything that has any mention of quantum physics, but I think it is very IMPORTANT that we start trying to understand it. It's a lot more than what one might think... It's EVERYTHING. It is mind-boggling, especially at first, but I really believe they should make it a mandatory discipline in middle school, before kids "learn" to be "frozen".
(Another good place to start is a book, "Quantum Enigma: Physics Encounters Consciousness" by Rosenblum and Kuttner)

Consciousness

St. Francis of Assisi

“What we are searching for is the one that sees" ("What we are looking for is what is looking.”)

“Start by doing what's necessary; then do what's possible; and suddenly you are doing the impossible.”

“Above all the grace and the gifts that Christ gives to his beloved is that of overcoming self.”

“For it is in giving that we receive.”

“Lord, make me an instrument of your peace; where there is hatred, let me sow love; where there is injury, pardon; where there is doubt, faith; where there is despair, hope; where there is darkness, light; and where there is sadness, joy.”

“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.”

“Where there is charity and wisdom, there is neither fear nor ignorance. Where there is patience and humility, there is neither anger nor vexation. Where there is poverty and joy, there is neither greed nor avarice. Where there is peace and meditation, there is neither anxiety nor doubt.”

“Lord, grant that I might not so much seek to be loved as to love.”

“No one is to be called an enemy, all are your benefactors, and no one does you harm. You have no enemy except yourselves.”

“It is in pardoning that we are pardoned.”

“Blessed is the servant who loves his brother as much when he is sick and useless as when he is well and an be of service to him. And blessed is he who loves his brother as well when he is afar off as when he is by his side, and who would say nothing behind his back he might not, in love, say before his face.”

Who do I find myself to be upon awakening?
