The Great Quotes thread

[Limor Wolf]

Hello Omniverse, Bill and all, you sure gave us something to chew on here. Thank you, this will require a long sit with a cup of herbal tea/cofee to think things through. And then to feel and embed it as well ~

This small addition is from my welcome message on Avalon

https://projectavalon.net/forum4/show...ll=1#post77997

which I also added to the Avalon's Hebrew website

I never knew how truthful it would discovered to be

[Hazel]

Always.. mistrusted that word 'empowering' as a watery useage... but then all of the above does powerfully point the way.

Bravo!

A quote to add is:

"I think its very healthy to spend time alone. You need to know how to be alone and not to be defined by another person."

Olivia Wilde

And just as importantly, as people of the new paradigm, we need to know how to ACTIVELY cultivate growing beyond the current paradigm when alone...
as a point of authentic reference.

Almost all of my favorites are covered on this thread. Thank you all! So, I can only quote myself in a statement that my husband found hilarious, a bit true, and possibly t-shirt worthy:

" I think too much and read too little " - 'AriG'

[Omni]

changed this one from -Omnisense to -Anonymous as its something i pretty much just ripped off from forums. Its just something I put on twitter as it was a concise word of wisdom...

"People have reality 'goggles' and it distorts perception at times." -Anonymous

[Omni]

After realizing I have grown to like certain tortures(due to torture so often) I came up with this:

"Suffering is spiritual at times." -Omnisense

[zenith]

The answer to every question about God and the Universe is yes, and no. (?)

Music is a higher revelation than all wisdom and philosophy. (Beethoven)

[Omni]

"I've been an intellectual soldier for the light on this world before I knew I was on the battlefield..." -Omnisense

[Omni]

A word spoken to me via ET contact:

"Dogmatics"

not sure if anyone would find it interesting but I liked it as I had never heard it used before. The ET speaking such was very wise about the ideas behind it.

Too many to read tonight definitely. I have to bookmark this page. Thank you Avalon.

Whoa! I have read and observed similar quotes like this one a number of times over the years but sometimes they hit closer to home then others!

That quote was a thought bomb that exploded right next to me. Am I going to be its casualty? I hope so!

[Omni]

"If you do not value the accuracy of history, something is wrong."
-Telepathic encounter of mine listening to two beings talk

"Anything you value can be an object of manipulation to you, as you can fear losing it. fear is often a stepping stone to greater things for the darker side(greater being subjective)"
-More from this encounter convo between US gov and ETs (and me mainly listening, a great treat, so lucky to have this position i am in right now - although this line wa spoken to me after an example).

I will make a thread in the ET section for my telepathic encounters though(Once I have the will to muster it).. Might work better that way.

[Taurean]

It has been proven psychologically that human beings can only appreciate or apprise, i.e. comprehend and understand, something new, if they can succeed in raising up the subconscious immured in their brain cells into their higher consciousness. If this cannot be achieved, then all preaching is useless. And even the eye has first to learn how to see everything new; it too must therefore be awoken from its latency before it can grasp the seen. Above all, there must be readiness to consider even supposed wonders as the forerunners of forthcoming realities, for only thus can the foundations be laid upon which rational mind can calculate and analyse.

Viktor Schauberger

I think Viktor was trying to comprehend Cognitive Dissonance here.

I've never been big on quotes or philosophy, honestly. If you're having a problem in life, and a quote makes you feel better, I would submit that that problem wasn't much of a problem to begin with. Not trying to be a downer here. Just my 2 cents.

"To philosophize is only another way of being afraid and leads hardly anywhere but to cowardly make-believe.". -Celine

I'll have to disagree. I've gained spiritually and intellectually tremendously from quotes. It helps me 'remember' things embedded into my soul... And I'm not in agreeance with the quote from celine either. To philosophize is a mark of an intelligent person IMHO.

phi·los·o·phy
[fi-los-uh-fee] Show IPA
noun, plural phi·los·o·phies.
1.
the rational investigation of the truths and principles of being, knowledge, or conduct.

Ok

As I was reading this thread I was thinking of a friend of mine and of some events that took place not too long ago. His brother's girlfriend had broken up with the brother after 3 years together, and he was despondent. And he (my friend) kept saying to me: "Hank, I don't understand it, I've been giving my brother the best advice lately, I've been administering wisdom left n right. It just goes right through him."

I understood perfectly. The most severe and painful life experiences are those of the heart. And the heart, as we all know, does not respond to logic. A quote or a philosophy will, at best, inspire us intellectually, and usually only for a short period of time. My experience anyway...

Think back to your greatest heartache. Maybe consider love lost, or a partner who has stopped loving you. I think most of us would agree that it is probably the most painful experience one can have. That type of pain is so deep, so profound, that a quote or philosophy, no matter how clever, will never reach it. Not in a million years.

So I stand by what I said: if a quote or a philosophy truly helps alleviate or illuminate an issue or problem you might be having, it likely wasn't a serious one to begin with.

With Respect,
Hank

I disagree that the heart is not intellectual in ways. I've had in depth experiences with my heart chakra being dimmed and made big/functional quite instantly. It affects intelligence in ways observably. Also the heart has neurons... So it can think too in ways and quite possibly be the connection to your souls wisdom in ways(mainly crown of course)..

So I stand by what I said: if a quote or a philosophy truly helps alleviate or illuminate an issue or problem you might be having, it likely wasn't a serious one to begin with.

A lot of them aren't for fixing problems but are for spiritual and intellectual growth...

Many highly intelligent people are poor thinkers. Many people of average intelligence are skilled thinkers. The power of a car is separate from the way the car is driven. (Edward de Bono)

I like this one. Scientific evidence of soul and the difference between genetics and the soul IMO.
