Quotes for 03-22-10

Quotes for the Meditation entitled The Whole Picture.

Miracles are a retelling in small letters of the very same story which is written across the whole world in letters too large for some of us to see.
~ C.S. Lewis

A human being is part of a whole, called by us the 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 us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circles of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty.
~ Albert Einstein

When you realize how perfect everything is you will tilt your head back and laugh at the sky.
~ Buddha

Angie,
Isn't so incredibly awesome to realize that concepts of one-ness and wholeness are nothing new! And that intellectual geniuses and spiritual geniuses both speak about the need for human to forgo the idea of separation. I love this mediation!
Shawn.
