"I think eventually I've come to realize that the fewer possessions you have the happier you are. When you see the simple way the sisters live it can totally change your life. It's the simplicity, that's what I love. I believe the simplest way is the easiest way to God." - Mother Teresa

"For as this appalling ocean surrounds the verdant land, so in the soul of man there lies one insular Tahiti, full of peace and joy, but encompassed by all of the horrors of the half-lived life." - Herman Melville

Astrology, according to the readings, contained a certain amount of truth. The solar system provided a cycle of experiences for the evolving soul; man alternated experiences on earth with experiences in other dimensions of consciousness. To these dimensions tradition had anciently given the names of the planets which served as their focal points. Astrology as now practiced was only an approximation of the truth, however; it fell short of complete accuracy because first, it did not take reincarnation into account, and secondly, it did not fully understand how the so-called "astrological" influences affected man through his glandular system and through his previous experiences in the dimensions. -Gina Cerminara, Many Mansions-The Edgar Cayce Story On Reincarnation

GyrfalconThe gyrfalcon is the largest and one of the most majestic of all falcons. Found in the Arctic tundra, almost solely in Canada, Northern Europe, and Scandinavia, it is well adapted to this northern climate. The gyrfalcon does not migrate, keeping to the harsh environment even in winter with belly feathers long enough to keep its feet warm. The Gyrfalcon has ancient and sacred ties to spirit. The name is thought to come from the slang Latin, meaning "sacred Falcon." In the past, it was considered a knightly gift in falconry. It has two primary forms, a white and dark one. The dark form has two tones, with a dark hood. The white form [White Gyrfalcon] has a regal coloring that has been compared to the back of a snow leopard with which it shares many of the same qualities, and thus studying the snow leopard can provide additional insight. ... It nests on rock ledges, giving it a wider vision, reflective of its closeness to spirit. When the gyrfalcon appears, our own intuitive and spiritual vision will grow, especially in perceiving opportunities and the best paths to progress. ...This is the bird of the knight's quest---regardless of that quest.

The world is a perpetual caricature of itself; at every moment it is the mockery and the contradiction of what it is pretending to be. But as it nevertheless intends all the time to be something different and highly dignified, at the next moment it corrects and checks and tries to cover up the absurd thing it was; so that a conventional world, a world of masks, is superimposed on the reality, and passes in every sphere of human interest for the reality itself. Humor is the perception of this illusion, whilst the convention continues to be maintained, as if we had not observed its absurdity. -George Santayana

I learned this, at least, by my experiment: that if one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life which he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours. -Henry David Thoreau, Walden

He was indeed strange, but so sharply sane that I at once felt exalted. For the first time I was talking to a man who got behind the meaning of words and went to the very essence of things. I felt that I was talking to a philosopher, not a philosopher such as I had encountered through books, but a man who philosophized constantly---and who lived this philosophy which he expounded. That is to say, he had no theory at all, except to penetrate to the very essence of things and, in the light of each fresh revelation to so live his life that there would be minimum of discord between the truths which were revealed to him and the exemplification of these truths in action. -Henry Miller, Tropic of Capricorn
