"Music is amazing. There's some metaphysical comfort where it allows you to be isolated and alone while telling you that you are not alone... truly, the only cure for sadness is to share it with someone else."
-Wayne Coyne from The Flaming Lips
"So thus Eternity is in God, the cosmos is in Eternity.
Time is in the cosmos. Becoming is in time.
And while Eternity stands still in Gods presence,
the cosmos is in motion in Eternity.
Time passes in the cosmos and
'becoming' comes to be in Time."
-Hermes Trismegistus
"A human being is a part of a whole, called by us 'universe', a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings as something separated from the rest... a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty."
-Albert Einstein
"I would say that the thrust of my life has been initially about getting free, and then realizing that my freedom is not independent of everybody else. Then I am arriving at that circle where one works on oneself as a gift to other people so that one doesn't create more suffering. I help people as a work on myself and I work on myself to help people. Working on our own consciousness is the most important thing that we are doing at any moment, and being love is a supreme creative act."
-Ram Dass
"Psychedelics helped me to escape.. albeit momentarily.. from the prison of my mind. It over-rode the habit patterns of thought and I was able to taste innocence again. Looking at sensations freshly without the conceptual overly was very profound. We are all affecting the world every moment, whether we mean to or not. Our actions and states of mind matter, because we are so deeply interconnected with one another."
-Ram Dass
"The most important aspect of love is not in giving or the receiving: it’s in the being. When I need love from others, or need to give love to others, I’m caught in an unstable situation. Being in love, rather than giving or taking love, is the only thing that provides stability. Being in love means seeing the Beloved all around me."
-Ram Dass
"If all art aspires to the condition of music, all the sciences aspire to the condition of mathematics." - George Santanaya
"Music is the pleasure of the human soul experiences from counting without being aware that it is counting." - Gottfried Leibniz
We are all collectively living a memory. - Mikey L
