Shamanic

Posted by PJ under aliens, quote of the day, shamanism, soul, the deep within, the numinous, the self, vision
No Comments

Random quote of the day:

“It is possible, therefore, that the encounter experience is a contemporary form of an ancient mystical knowledge or gnosis, that is, knowledge that comes from the reality of visionary or revelatory states, that are also taking place in an actual “space” of the soul, or subtle vehicle. Such experiences also make it imperative that we expand our dichotomous worldview to include once again these other levels of reality, that in fact are by no means new, but recover an ancient multidimensionality.”

Reverent rainbows

Random quote of the day:

Paradigms

Posted by PJ under faith, paradigm, quote of the day, reconciliation, science
No Comments

Random quote of the day:

“Science emerged from the Copernican revolution as the winner, the new paradigm, to use Thomas Kuhn’s famous term. But science is wrong if it believes it is the last paradigm or the only one that deserves credence. The nature of new paradigms, as Kuhn wrote, is that they explain more than the previous paradigm.”

Detours

Posted by PJ under quote of the day, success, the path
No Comments

Random quote of the day:

“There is no such thing as an overnight success. You will do well to cultivate the resources in yourself that bring you happiness outside of success or failure. The truth is, most of us discover where we are headed when we arrive. At that time, we turn around and say, yes, this is obviously where I was going all along. It’s a good idea to try to enjoy the scenery on the detours, because you’ll probably take a few.”

—Bill Watterson, Kenyon College Commencement, May 20, 1990
