Years add wisdom, difficulties build strength, love moves mountains, tears nourish growth, dreams reveal purpose, character buries superficiality...Truth IS.

Research

Good morning everyone!!

I've been doing some major research and digging for information for my book and what I have found is beyond astonishing.

"I want to know God's thoughts, the rest are details."~Albert Einstein.

This quote sums up the subject matter I've been researching to a tee.  There are many people that have come and gone into and from this life and those who still walk among us who have a pretty tight grasp on what really goes on...underneath the facade.  I've delved into writings of poetry by Rumi, the ideas and theories of Albert Einstein, the peace-keeping missions of love and justice of Mother Theresa and Martin Luther King Jr., the central belief of Buddhism, Sufism, Judaism, Christianity, and the like...I've traveled through time with great philosophers and artists, Plato, Michelangelo, Vincent Van Gogh, Leonardo Da Vinci, Leo Buscaglia, studied the psycological profile and analysis of Carl Jung, Abraham Maslow, and listened intently to words of Dr. Wayne Dyer, Bishop T.D. Jakes, and Deepak Chopra--who I deem to be our "modern day" truth seekers, knowers, and tellers.  There are MANY others to add to this list, though I am pressed for time this morning.

Below are some words that ruminate the truth:

"Every tree and plant in the meadow seemed to be dancing..those who averagize would see as fixed and still"~Rumi.

"The morning breeze has secrets to tell, don't go back to sleep."~Rumi.

"I have been often asked if I believe in God.  To that, I answer, I know, therefore, there is no need to believe"~Carl Jung.

"Every beauty which is seen here below by persons of perception resembles more than anything else that celestial source from which we all come."~Michelangelo.

"We fear to know the fearsome and unsavory aspects of ourselves, but we fear even more to know the godlike in ourselves."~Abraham Maslow.



You can find my favorite quotes from MLK Jr., Mother Theresa, and Albert Einstein right on my page.  


"We are no longer puppets being manipulated by outside powerful forces; we become the powerful force ourselves."~Leo Buscaglia.


And finally, a very interesting concept from a man named Richard Brodie who has written a book entitled Virus of the Mind, which is a scientific approach to the conditioning of the mind.  He uses the term "meme" to describe viruses of the mind..that work very similarly to viruses of the body...only this study is not done upon mass...it is a study of the formless that is related to epigenetics (which is the study of how our DNA CAN indeed be changed by thought and mindset).  The mind viruses work in much the same way as biological and physiological viruses and exhibit the same three qualities as follows:  1.  They duplicate.  2.  They infiltrate.  3.  They spread.  All scientific principle for those who cannot grasp spiritual concept.  Very interesting reading to be sure and very validatory for someone like me.  These viruses manifest themselves in excuses and habitual pattern.  


Lao Tsu said:  "When you correct your mind, everything else will fall into place."


Finally, when you release you preconceptions, your habitual mind, and stop making excuses and laying blame, dormant forces, faculties, and talents come alive.  Things that you once thought inaccessible chase YOU.  You begin to live in synchronicity, serendipity and that which you believed in and dreamed of manifests.  


That which is nonexistent, we create.  That which stays nonexistant is not significantly desired.  


Peace.
