If we are to truly advance human understanding we must lift our hearts and set our souls on fire , for then and only then can we live life with open arms and voyage towards enlightenment.
Enhancing the flow of positive energy liberates the human spirit enabling us to experience joy and fulfillment as we navigate a labyrinthian path of love and light.
Science is human Limitation.
The human energy field embodies a collective wisdom that celebrates the divine wisdom of all. Therefore to live in communion and union we must embrace diversity as a brother as passionately as we embrace earth as our mother.
what is my purpose in life, what is my responsibility?
whether I like it or not, I am on this planet
and it is far better to do something for humanity.
so you see that compassion is the seed or basis.
If we take care to foster compassion,
we will see that it brings the other good human qualities.
the topic of compassion is not at all religious business;
it is very important to know that it is human business
that it is a question of human survival
that is not a question of human luxury....
It is clear that even without religion we can manage.
However, without these basic human qualities we cannot survive.
It is a question of our own peace and mental stability.

It takes all kinds of people to make the human race
And everyone fits in their own way
It takes all kinds of people to make the human race.
Let’s be human the way we are human. Homo sum – I am a man. Don’t accept any Olympian view of man and you will do better in society.
The good news is that we are Buddha.
The bad news is that all beings are Buddha.
The sickness of being human is the sickness of wanting to be unique.
We are not human beings in search of a spiritual experience
We are spiritual beings immersed in a human experience
I am not a human being, i am a human becoming.
As long as you are human, you are not indestructable.
“Tolerance implies a respect for another person, not because he is wrong or even because he is right, but because he is human.â€
The Process Is You
Evolutionary philosophy and evolutionary spirituality are based upon the recognition that we are part of a miraculous process that has existed and been developing for billions of years. It reveals to us that our own personal experience of that process in all its many dimensions—inner and outer, gross and subtle—is only a very small part of an infinite unfolding. Thoughts and feelings that arise in individual consciousness reflect emotional and psychological structures, or habits, that have slowly developed over tens of thousands of years.
Some people, when they hear the word process, interpret it as meaning something inhuman. But it's actually quite the opposite. I'm not referring to a process in a flat, mechanical, materialistic sense. This process is alive. And it's you. The process is you. Indeed, what is so important about this shift of perspective is that you begin to see your own sense of self as part of a vast unfolding stream of development. Your understanding of what it means to be human expands almost infinitely, because you start to see your own humanity and your own potential for greater humanity as a result of this process, and an inherent part of this process—and as far as we know, the highest expression of this process. In this way, evolutionary spirituality enhances and enlarges to almost infinite proportions your sense of the significance of what it means to be human.
Love is the highest form of intelligence, and we share this unsurpassed gift with many other species.
No human society, present or past, has lacked music. Music is therefore one of the very few human universals, which puts it on the same level as food and sex.
When we were children, clouds became animals.
Now that we are adults, the vast, blue sky is a metaphor
for the infinite, upward potential of the human spirit.
"The greatest discovery of my generation is that human beings can alter their lives by altering their attitude of mind."
Human cultures progress through a dance of specialization and integration. The problem is that the human trait of abstract thinking has allowed our ability to specialize to outpace our ability to integrate knowledge. Thus, we know more and more details about nothing particularly relevant. Life becomes a game of trivia played between people who don't have an intrinsic understanding of who, or what, they are and who have little idea how larger social, scientific and cultural systems operate.
All the "freedom" in the world can not solve this problem, but rather leads to greater confusion. Lack of freedom throws us into panick and again causes confusion. We often seek grounding in religion or political movements, but the price of suspending our disbelief is our relinquishment of authority to others no more qualified than the rest of us. We can not afford, in our globalized, interdependent world, to turn over our otherwise intelligent minds to ideologies and theologies. We can not afford the divisiveness and arrogance inherent when one believes that theirs is the only way, the "right" way, and that other paths are "evil" or inferior even if they work very well.
If we declare our race to be HUMAN, our religion to be KINDNESS and our nature to be A WONDERFUL SPECIES OF PRIMATES, we will gradually learn to exercise rational control over our minds, our culture and our planet.
What if we discover that our present way of life is irreconcilable with our vocation to become fully human?
The universe must be experienced as the Great Self. Each is fulfilled in the other: the Great Self is fulfilled in the individual self, the individual self is fulfilled in the Great Self. Alienation is overcome as soon as we experience this surge of energy from the source that has brought the universe through the centuries. New fields of energy become available to support the human venture. These new energies find expression and support in celebration. For in the end the universe can only be explained in terms of celebration. It is all an exuberant expression of existence itself.
The human venture depends absolutely on this quality of awe and reverence and joy in the Earth and all that lives and grows upon the Earth. As soon as we isolate ourselves from these currents of life and from the profound mood that these engender within us, then our basic life-satisfactions are diminished. None of our machine-made products, none of our computer-based achievements can evoke that total commitment to life.
We have indeed been out in space, but some are under the illusion that we have been off Earth. In reality humans have never been off Earth. We have always been on a piece of Earth in space. We survive only as long as we can breathe the air of Earth, drink its waters, and be nourished by its foods. There is no indication that as humans we will ever live anywhere else in the universe. Place, too, is continuously being transformed but only within its own possibilities.
There is an ultimate wildness in all this, for the universe, as existence itself, is a terrifying as well as a benign mode of being. If it grants us amazing powers over much of its functioning we must always remember that any arrogance on our part will ultimately be called to account. The beginning of wisdom in any human activity is a certain reverence before the primordial mystery of existence, for the world about us is a fearsome mode of being. We do not judge the universe.
For the emergent process, as noted by the geneticist Theodore Dobzhansky, is neither random nor determined but creative. Just as in human order, creativity is neither a rational deductive process nor the irrational wandering of the undisciplined mind but the emergence of beauty as mysterious as the blossoming of a field of daisies out of the dark Earth.
As in creating some significant work the artist first experiences something akin to dream awareness that becomes clarified in the creative process itself, so we must first have a vision of the future sufficiently entrancing that it will sustain us in the transformation of the human project that is now in process.
The most powerful weapon on earth is the human soul on fire.
Anything that may extend the existence of a human is humane, no matter the side effects.
All questions depend on human creativity; and, like everything human, creativity has a limit too.
