“We also need to be heard. Even before a child masters language, they coo and babble, making noises to be heard. It’s painful for children when they are not heard. As adults we still need people to hear us when we speak, even if they disagree. It’s deeply frustrating not to be heard. It diminishes our humanness.”
― Ellis Potter, 3 Theories of Everything

“Our minds, once full of light, life, and abundance, are now filled with limiting knowledge. Knowledge is meant to set the mind free, but the knowledge we learn often has the direct opposite effect. We learn more about what is impossible than about how to think and imagine what is possible. When we bring our minds to God, we begin to be set free from natural thinking, and the imagination begins to soar freely once again. The limits of the imagination begin to be lifted, and we receive in our imagination what could be described as “ears to hear” (Mark 4:9). As our imagination begins to be unlocked, we are now open to hear something and see something in our imagination that we might have been closed off to entertaining in times past.”

“Like all other initiatic teaching, Egypt held that man's purpose on earth was the return to the source. There were recognised in Egypt two roads to this same goal. The one was the way of Osiris, who represented the cyclic nature of universal process; this was the way of successive reincarnations. The second road was the way of Horus, the direct path to resurrection that the individual might achieve within a single lifetime. It is the Horian way that is the basis of the Christian revelation and, according to Schwaller de Lubicz, the aim of Christianity was to make this direct path available to all who chose to embark upon it, rather than to a small group of select initiates who, in Egypt, comprised ‘The Temple’. In this sense, and in this sense only, has there been ‘evolution’ in human affairs.”

“To transform our lives and the world, we need to come from a place of love and compassion, even as we act to “fight” injustice. We need to let our being inspire our doing. When our hearts are filled with love and a genuine desire to be of service to others, then whatever needs to be done will naturally arise in the most helpful way possible. More than that, it will be exponentially more helpful than if we angrily wage internal and external war on injustice, seeing the perpetrators in the same light that they see the people they oppress. Each of us has chosen to come into this life with a certain set of talents that can be used to be of service to others. It could be something as simple as being a patient and nonjudgmental listener. It could be that you are artistic and your art touches people on a deep level. It could be that you are a great leader who can effect real, meaningful change. Or, you may have a gift of writing or making music or cooking or healing. The list is endless. But no natural talent or skill is fundamentally more important than another, even if one skill seems to touch thousands of people and another only a few, because the reality is that separation is only an illusion anyway, and there’s really only One of us here appearing to be many. Keeping this very real science and spirituality in mind will help to keep you from falling into the trap of feeling like you need to do something big and far-reaching to be of true service.”
