“Death”
and “birth” are only apparently separated
as
a consequence of the conceptual extension
of
the concept of matter in space and duration.
-- Wei Wu Wei, from Posthumous Pieces
Microphysics is moving into the unknown side of 'matter,' just as complex psychology is moving into the unknown side of the 'psyche.' The concept of the relativity of mass does not actually explain anything, and neither does the relativity of time and space; it is simply a formulation. These opposites only come into being through the projection onto space of what is in itself a non-spatial, transcendental, existence.
-- Carl Jung, Atom and Archetype: The Pauli-Jung Letters, 1932-1958
One cannot help but perform action, over and over yet again, which is naught but true dharma, within in the realm of samsara; inaction is not possible, for even while the yogi is seated in contemplation, seemingly immobile, the great cosmos moves unceasingly.
-- Bhagavad Gita
'Talkativeness is the result of doing away with the vital distinction between talking and keeping silent. Only someone who knows how to remain essentially silent can really talk, and act essentially.'
-- Kierkegaard, from The Present Age and Of the Difference Between a Genius and an Apostle
Self-observation is the many little 'I's' that want to become one 'I.' It works through the head. Self-remembering is 'it,' it works through the body. Self-awareness is the relationship between 'I' and 'it.' It is the product of the process.
-- Wilhem Nyland, from Gurdjieff Group Work
'I'm kind of a control freak and I like to create my own hells before the real ones get to me. I kind of like to beat hell to hell.' -- Spalding Gray, Monster in a Box
