The distinction between the past, present and future is only a stubbornly persistent illusion.]] - [[Energy cannot be created or destroyed, it can only be changed from one form to another.]] - [[Everything is energy and that is all there is to it. Match the frequency of the reality you want and you can not help but get that reality. It can be no other way. This is not philosophy. This is physics.]] - [[Time and space are not conditions in which we live, but modes by which we think. Physical concepts are free creations of the human mind, and are not, however it may seem, determined by the external world.]] - [[Creativity is intelligence having fun.]] - [[Concerning matter, we have been all wrong. What we have called matter is energy, whose vibration has been so lowered as to be perceptible to the senses. Matter is spirit reduced to point of visibility. There is no matter.]] - [[We are souls dressed up in sacred biochemical garments and our bodies are the instruments through which our souls play their music.]] - [[There is a driving force more powerful than steam, electricity and nuclear power - the will.]] - [[Two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I am not yet completely sure about the universe.]] - [[Common sense is what tells us the earth is flat. Common sense is the collection of prejudices acquired by age eighteen.]] - [[What a sad era when it is easier to smash an atom than a prejudice.]] - [[Education is what remains after one has forgotten what one has learned in school.]] - [[What is right is not always popular and what is popular is not always right.]] - [[Reality is merely an illusion, albeit a very persistent one.]] - [[Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid.]] - [[Everyone knew it was impossible, until a fool who didn’t know came along and did it. The wing structure of the hornet, in relation to its weight, is not suitable for flight, but it does not know this and flies anyway.]] - [[There’s no question dolphins are smarter than humans as they play more.]] - [[The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and science. Do not grow old, no matter how long you live. Never cease to stand like curious children before the Great Mystery into which we were born.]] - [[Our task must be to free ourselves by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty.]] - [[The true value of a human being can be found in the degree to which he has attained liberation from the self.]] - [[When you examine the lives of the most influential people who have ever walked among us, you discover one thread that winds through them all. They have been aligned first with their spiritual nature and only then with their physical selves.]] - [[The ancients knew something, which we seem to have forgotten.]] - [[The more I learn of physics, the more I am drawn to metaphysics.]] - [[I’m not an atheist. The problem involved is too vast for our limited minds. We are in the position of a little child entering a huge library filled with books in many languages. The child knows someone must have written those books.]] - [[The religion of the future will be a cosmic religion. It will transcend a personal God and avoid dogma and theology.]] - [[I fear the day technology will surpass our human interaction. The world will have a generation of idiots.]] - [[Given the millions of billions of earth-like planets, life elsewhere in the universe without a doubt does exist. In the vastness of the universe we are not alone.]]
