“Quantum theory thus reveals a basic oneness of the universe. It shows that we cannot decompose the world into independently existing smallest units. As we penetrate into matter, nature does not show us any isolated "building blocks," but rather appears as a complicated web of relations between the various parts of the whole. These relations always include the observer in an essential way. The human observer constitute the final link in the chain of observational processes, and the properties of any atomic object can be understood only in terms of the object's interaction with the observer.”

“The global monetary crises of the 1990s (Mexico, Russia, Asia and Brazil) proved that our money system is now sick, and that this affects everything. After all, money plays the role of modern society’s central information system equivalent to the nervous system in our own bodies. In order to prevent a global monetary meltdown, a unique vision of sustainable abundance, and the mechanisms for achieving this, is proposed.”

“This is a great universal truth; we are by nature healthy; illness is an unnatural, temporary state when certain systems of the body are not functioning as they should. The harmonious flow of chi restores a person's natural functions. It is also excellent for overcoming emotional and mental problems and managing stress.”

“If it has introduced you to the Mahayana Buddhist concept of Sunyata then it has achieved its main goal. Once you experientially understand this concept then all things will become transparent to you. Sunyata brings the intuitive into the rational. It allows us to understand the interconnections. When we understand the interconnections, then we can act in accordance with life. We can ascertain the ecology of ourselves and our world. We can keep our house in order.”
― A.G. Cusick

“Zen is spontaneity, and spontaneity comes from within. Meditation awakens the intuitions, and only when the rational mind is supported by, and couched in, the intuitions does the waking ego not live in a constant baseline fear of death with its associated existential paranoia and unconscious survival strategies.
When rationality and intuitions work together and not in opposition there is a great expansion in human consciousness; one enhances the other and both are improved. You are improved and the world is improved because of this. A new State of Being is realised; more precisely, a State of Becoming.”

“You yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserve your love and affection.”
― Sharon Salzberg

“Hatred always involves a painful sense of separation from love, which may be idealized. A person you feel strongly against at any given time upsets you because he or she does not live up to your expectations. The higher your expectations the greater any divergence from them seems. If you hate a parent it is precisely because you expect such love. A person from whom you expect nothing will never earn your bitterness.

In a strange manner, hatred is a means of returning to love; and left alone and expressed it is meant to communicate a separation that exists in relation to what is expected.

Love, therefore, can contain hate very nicely. Hatred can contain love and be driven by it, particularly an idealized love. You "hate" something that separates you from a loved object. It is precisely because the object is so loved that it is so disliked if expectations are not met. You may love a parent, and if the parent does not seem to return the love and denies your expectations, then you may "hate" the same parent because of the love that leads you to expect more. The hatred is meant to get your love back. It is supposed to lead to a communication from you, stating your feelings - clearing the air, so to speak, and bringing you closer to the love object. Hatred is not the denial of love, then, but an attempt to regain it, and a painful recognition of circumstances that separate you from it. --”

“The range of our knowledge of reality is limited by our pre-existing beliefs, assumptions, and expectations”
