ALEXANDER SOLZHENITSYN –“Another artist, recognising a higher  power above, gladly works as a humble apprentice beneath God’s heaven; then, however, his responsibility for everything that is written or drawn, for the souls which perceive his work, is more exacting than ever. But, in return, it is not he who has created this world, not he who directs it, there is no doubt as to its foundations; the artist has merely to be more keenly aware than others of the harmony of the world, of the beauty and ugliness of the human contribution to it, and to communicate this acutely to his fellow-men. And in misfortune, and even at the depths of existence in destitution, in prison, in sickness — his sense of stable harmony never deserts him.”          

ALEXANDER SOLZHENITSYN –“One artist sees himself as the creator of an independent spiritual world;… but he crumples beneath it, for a mortal genius is not capable of bearing such a burden. Just as man in general, having declared himself the centre of existence, has not succeeded in creating a balanced spiritual system. And if misfortune overtakes him, he casts the blame upon the age-long disharmony of the world, upon the complexity of today’s ruptured soul, or upon the stupidity of the public.”

ALEXIS CARREL –“Prayer is the most powerful energy one can generate. It is a force as real as terrestrial gravity. In prayer, human beings seek to augment their finite energy by addressing themselves to the Infinite source of all energy. When we pray, we link ourselves with the inexhaustible motive power that spins the universe…Whenever we address God in fervent prayer; we change both soul and body for the better. It could not happen that any man or woman could pray for a single moment without some good result.”

The human spirit is so affected by that rhythm, that music is the cause to it of longing and joy and sorrow and ‘expansion’ (inbisat) and ‘contraction’ (inqibad), but he who is dull of hearing and unresponsive and hard of heart, is debarred from this joy.” 

AL-HALLAJ –“I have meditated
on the different religions, endeavouring to understand them, and I have found that they stem from a single principle with numerous ramifications.

ALLAN ARMITAGE –“There are many tired gardeners but I’ve seldom met old gardeners. I know many elderly gardeners but the majority are young at heart. Gardening simply does not allow one to be mentally old, because too many hopes and dreams are yet to be realised. The one absolute of gardeners is faith. Regardless of how bad past gardens have been, every gardener believes that next year’s will be better. It is easy to age when there is  nothing to believe in, nothing to hope for; gardeners, however, simply refuse to grow up.”

AMIR KHUSRAU –“I am a pagan and a worshipper of love: the creed (of Muslims) I do not need; Every vein of mine has become taunt like a wire, the (Brahman’s) girdle I do not need. Leave from my bedside, you ignorant physician! The only cure for the patient of love is the sight of his beloved — other than this no medicine does he need. If there be no pilot in our boat, let there be none: We have god in our midst: the sea we do not need. The people of the world say that Khusrau worships idols.

If you can learn to do this and push through that pain, you will remember what that moment is like the next time you win and have a better sense of how those competitors around you feel. This experience will teach you a lot on and off the field.”

ANDREW COHEN –“All disagreements are result of misunderstanding someone else’s level of consciousness.”

ANDREW COHEN –“Although most people don’t know it yet, the age of personal or merely individual enlightenment is over. In the 21st century the context for deep, authentic, serious spirituality — which means transformational spirituality—is evolution, evolution not only of the individual but beyond the individual, The pursuit of holiness, the pursuit of enlightened consciousness, has traditionally been the path of the heroic and extraordinary individual — the holy one, the enlightened one. But now the evolutionary imperative of our time seems to be compelling us to develop beyond what we could call personal realization to something else altogether. At the frontiers of human development, consciousness itself seems to be leaping beyond the confines of individuation, dramatically revealing new, thrilling, and unimagined possibilities of higher integration.”   

Andrew Cohen –“But genuine spiritual awakening is also the explosive emergence of the evolutionary impulse in human consciousness. With the submission of the ego and the surrender of the personal will, the individual becomes aware of the presence of a powerful and unyielding energy. That energy is the movement of the life-force in a self-propelled state of conscious evolution or becoming.”   

ANDREW COHEN –“Doubt is Maya’s face revealing itself. It will always try and tempt the weak-minded to turn tail and run… Serious seekers know they must face whatever is to be faced, because they must, succeed. These lucky few discover something very unexpected: Liberation in this birth.”   

ANDREW COHEN –“Doubt is Maya’s face revealing itself. It will always try and tempt the weak-minded to turn tail and run… Serious seekers for Freedom cannot run.  They know they must face whatever is to be faced, because they must succeed. These lucky few discover something very unexpected: Liberation in this birth.”   

ANDREW COHEN –“Soul Consciousness The soul… in most of us, desperately needs to be developed. Too many of us live in a fractured state, deeply divided against ourselves. We exist in a sel
f-generated vacuum of moral ambiguity, where everything is relative and our attention is focused mainly on our emotional state… We need to embrace a kind of fearless vulnerability where our transparency is our strength and the living experience of connection is permanent, unbroken and inescapable.”   

ANDREW COHEN –“Spiritual progress itself is part of the illusion, even though it seems real. Something has happened, I’m changing, I’m going somewhere, something is happening to me. Finally one realises that nothing happened, ever. You realise that all the drama of life was only a dream. Even the waking up.”  

ANDREW COHEN –“The age of personal or individual enlightenment is over. In the 21st century, the context for deep, authentic, serious spirituality — transformational spirituality — is evolution, not only of the individual but beyond. I   for those at the leading edge, the passionate pursuit and defenses of individualization have reached a dead end. The very movement toward higher development now calls for a leap beyond the personal sphere. The pursuit of enlightened consciousness has traditionally been the path of the heroic and extraordinary individual. But now the evolutionary imperative of our time seems to be compelling us to develop beyond what we could call personal realization to something else altogether. At the frontiers of human development, consciousness itself seems to be leaping beyond the confines of individuation, dramatically revealing new, thrilling, and unimagined possibilities of higher integration.”    

Andrew Cohen –“The source and ground of everything that has become, and that is even now in a constant state of becoming, is that place where there is no time and where nothing ever happened. Nothing and Something cannot be separated because they are simply two sides of the same coin. That’s the meaning of non-duality and that is what enlightenment is.”  

Andrew Cohen –“There are two fundamental components of the experience of enlightenment. One is the profound and overwhelming discovery of the primordial ground of reality itself. That ground is where there is no time, where the unmanifest, unborn Self abides in the consciousness of absolute zero, or no thing whatsoever. In the awakened state, that primordial ground emerges in consciousness as the direct experience of everything being perfect just as it is.” 

ANDREW COHEN –“When you awaken to the creative principle, you discover that the whole point of being here is to participate fully, radically, consciously in the evolutionary process. So in what I call evolutionary enlightenment, the goal is not merely to transcend the world so that you can be free of it, but to embrace the world completely, to embrace the entire process as your own self, knowing that you are the creative principle incarnate, and you have a lot of work to do. That is why, when you relinquish the ego and say yes to the powerful impulse to evolve, you find that you are in touch with a source of strength and conviction that is boundless. As an individual, you are instantaneously liberated, simply through taking that step, but that liberation is merely a byproduct of finally embracing the awe-inspiring burden of the evolutionary process itself.”  

ANDREW JACKSON –“Every good citizen makes his country’s honour his own, and cherishes it not only as precious but; as sacred. He is willing to risk his life in its defence and is conscious that he gains protection while he gives it.”

ANDREW KUNTZ –“I find working with glass meditative, almost therapeutic. I can leave the world behind, and focus… The simplicity of form, the drama of rich, intense colour, the joy of challenge, and the challenge of endurance… The piece, when it is over, is not what is made, but how it is made.”

ANGELAS SILESIUS –“Perfect purity is imageless, formless, loveless, stripped of every quality, like the essence of God…I cannot present myself naked before God: and yet I must enter without clothing into the kingdom of heaven, since it suffers nothing foreign.”

ANGELINA JOLIE –“I am the kind of person who doesn’t recognize borders. I don’t understand why we think it is okay to keep some people within one border when they are unable to feed their family when they could be getting help somewhere else. I don’t see people as different so i don’t understand the idea of borders in this world.”

It is a season when nature regenerates and everything is fresh and new. The cool morning air is laden with the faint smell of Mango blossoms… Mustard fields turn into a heady mix of yellow and green as the blossoms add colour, poetry and romance to life. The goddess Saraswati is dressed in yellow garments and people wear yellow-coloured clothes.”  

ANJLEENA KHUNGER –“It’s of no use holding others responsible for your ruin, destruction… because whatever happens to you is the result of something bad you’ve done someone, somewhere in the past.

THE ART OF HAPPINESS –“The Dalai Lama replied: I think there are two kinds of desire. Certain desires are positive. A desire for happiness. It’s absolutely right. The desire for peace… But at some point, desires can become unreasonable. That usually leads to trouble… Self-satisfaction alone cannot determine if a desire or action is positive or negative… I think excessive desire leads to greed… When you reflect upon the excesses of greed, you’ll find that it leads an individual to a feeling of frustration, disappointment, a lot of confusion, and a lot of problems… Although the underlying motive is to seek satisfaction, the irony is that even after obtaining the object of your desire, you are still not satisfied. The true antidote of greed is contentment.”

THE ARTHASHASTRA –“It is difficult, though not impossible; to stop government officials from hiding their corrupt take.”

THE BEATLES –“And when the brokenhearted people living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

THE COLUMBIA ENCYCLOPEDIA –“According to Shankara, the ultimate reality is Brahman or the Self, which is pure reality, pure consciousness, and pure bliss. The world has come into be ing from Brahman and is wholly dependent on it. The criteria of reality are immutability and permanence. Since the world is constantly changing, and since its existence is not absolute but dependent on Brahman, the world is called illusion or maya. Brahman exists as the Absolute, without qualities (nirguna), and also exists with qualities (saguna) as a personal god, Ishvara, who presides over the world of appearance.”

THE MOTHER, PONDICHERRY –“Never grumble. All sorts of forces enter you when you grumble and they pull you down. We find in others what is in us… If we always find mud around us, it proves that there is mud somewhere in us.”

THE MYSTERY PLAY –“God is in the details, after all. Or… perhaps, the details are in God.”

THE NATIONAL GEOGRAPHY –“A work in progress, the Earth still shakes with the forces of creation. Earthquakes occur when shifting pieces of the surface overcome friction at their edges and cause the ground to shudder — with sometimes disastrous results.”

THE NATIONAL GEOGRAPHY –“Seen from the safe distance of a satellite, it can be a thrilling spectacle. But as anyone caught in the middle of a hurricane knows, the place that poets call Mother Earth is not always such a gentle parent. Extreme weather events… are expressions of a living planet, still changing after billions of years of existence.”

THE NATIONAL GEOGRAPHY –“When they occur at sea, earthquakes can generate seismic waves called tsunamis, which travel great distances at speeds equalling those of commercial jetliners. Tsunamis are barely noticeable —often just ripples on the surface — until they approach shores, when they become monsters.”

THE PERFECTION OF WISDOM –“When a ship is wrecked at sea, those who do not hold onto a timber, a plank, or other solid support will drown in the water, never reaching the shore. Subhuti, those that do hold onto a timber, or plank, or other solid support will not drown in the water Happily unhindered, they may reach the shore, where they will stand safe and sound on firm ground. Similarly, Subhuti, a bodhisattva who is endowed with a full measure of faith and purity, of kindness and intentions, but without taking hold of the perfection of wisdom, can fall along the way Not reaching all-embracing knowledge, he remains only a disciple, or a pratyekabuddha.”

THE XIV DALAI LAMA –“We cannot learn real patience and tolerance from a guru or a friend. They can be practiced only when we come in contact with someone who creates unpleasant experiences. According to Shantideva, enemies are really good for us as we can learn a lot from them and build our inner strength.”

THE XTV DALAI LAMA –“Disregard for our natural inheritance has brought about the danger that now threatens the peace of the world…. Such destruction of the environment and life depending upon it is a result of, ignorance, greed and disregard for the richness of all living things. This disregard is gaming great influence. If peace does not become a reality in the world and if the destruction of the environment continues as it does today, there is no doubt that future generations will inherit a dead world.”

THEODONE MHESBUEGH –“The very essence of leadership is that you have to have vision. You can’t blow an uncertain trumpet.”

THEODORE H. WHITE- “The flood of money that gushes into politics today is a pollution of democracy.”

THEODORE ROOSEVELT –“A sound body is a first-class thing; a sound mind is an even better thing; but the thing that counts for most in the individual as in the nation is character, the sum of those qualities which make a man a good man and a woman a good woman.”

THEODORE ROOSEVELT –“Character, in the long run, is the decisive factor in the life of an individual and of nations alike.”

THEODORE ROOSEVELT –“In doing your work in the great world, it is a safe plan to follow a rule I once heard on the football field: Don’t flinch, don’t fall; hit the line hard.”

THEODORE ROOSEVELT –“It is not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the strong man stumbled, or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes short again and again, who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, and spends himself in a worthy cause, who at best knows I achievement and who at the worst if he fails at least fails while daring greatly so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.”

THEODORE ROOSEVELT- “No man is above the law and no man below it: nor do we ask any man’s permission when we ask him to obey it.”

THEODORE ROOSEVELT –“Power undirected by high purpose spells calamity; and high purpose by itself is utterly useless if the power to put it into effect is lacking.”

THICH NHA THANH –“Meditation is not to escape from society, but to come back to ourselves and see what is going on. Once there is seeing, there must be acting. With mindfulness, we know what to do and what not to do to help.”

THICH NHAT HANH –‘Walking meditation is like eating. With each step, we nourish our body and our spirit. When we walk with anxiety and sorrow, it is a kind of junk food. The food of walking meditation should be of a higher quality. Just walk slowly and enjoy a banquet of peace.”

THICH NHAT HANH –“After you wake up, you probably open the curtains and look outside. You may even like to open the window and feel the cool morning air with the dew still on the grass. But is what you see really “outside”? In fact, it is your own mind. As the sun sends its rays I through the window, you are not just yourself. You are also the beautiful view from your window. You are the Dharmakaya.”

THICH NHAT HANH –“All of us have the power to change the situation if we care to practice mindful walking, mindful! breathing to encourage the energy of mindful- I ness and to practise looking deeply to understand. Because understanding when it comes, will liberate us. It will help us to get rid of our anger, our hate and so on. And love is something that can only be born on the ground of understanding. Prajna and karuna are words that point to the same reality Where there is understanding, prajna, there is love. Where there is true love, maitri and karuna, there already exists prajna. Where there is no understanding, there is no true love.”

THICH NHAT HANH –“All phenomena — the song of a bird, the warm rays of the sun, a cup of hot tea — are manifes- tations of the Dharmakaya. We, too, are of the same nature as these wonders of the universe.”

THICH NHAT HANH –“Breath is the bridge which connects life to consciousness, which unites your body to your thoughts.”

THICH NHAT HANH –“Dharmakaya literally means the’body’or kaya of the Buddha’s teachings and Dharma), the way of understanding and love. Before passing away, the Buddha told his disciples, “Only my physical body will pass away.

THICH NHAT HANH –“Happiness is only possible with true love. True love has the power to heal and transform the situation around us and bring a deep meaning to our lives.”

THICH NHAT HANH –“If you look deeply into impermanence, you will do your best to make her happy right now. Aware of impermanence, you become positive, loving and wise. Impermanence is good news. Without impermanence, nothing would be possible. With impermanence, every door is open for change. I
mpermanence is an instrument for our liberation.”

THICH NHAT HANH –“If you suffer, it is not because things are impermanent. It is because! you believe things are I permanent. When a flower dies, you don’t suffer much, because you understand that flowers are impermanent. But you cannot accept the impermanence of your beloved one, and you suffer deeply when she passes away.”

THICH NHAT HANH –“Keeping your body healthy is an expression of gratitude to the whole cosmos the trees, the clouds, everything.”

THICH NHAT HANH –“Meditation is not to escape from society, but to come back to ourselves and see what is going on.”

THICH NHAT HANH –“Nothing remains the same for two consecutive moments. The Buddha implored us not just to talk about impermanence, but to use it as an instrument to help us penetrate deeply into reality and obtain liberating insight. We may be tempted to say that because things are impermanent, there is suffering. But the Buddha encouraged us to look again. Without impermanence, life is not possible. How can we transform our suffering if things are not impermanent? How can the situation in the world improve? We need impermanence foil social justice and for hope.”

THICH NHAT HANH –“Opening the window, I look out onto the Dharmakaya. How wondrous is life! Attentive to each moment, my mind is clear like a calm river.”

THICH NHAT HANH –“People deal too much with the negative, with what is wrong…Why not try arid see positive things, to just touch those things and make them bloom?”

THICH NHAT HANH –“People today tend to take refuge in overwork so they can avoid confronting their inner turmoil.”

THICH NHAT HANH –“People usually consider walking on water or in thin air a miracle. But i think the real miracle is not to walk either on water or in thin air, but to walk on earth. Every day we are engaged in a miracle which we don’t even recognise: a blue sky, white clouds, green leaves, the .black, curious eyes of a child — our own two eyes. All is a miracle.”

THICH NHAT HANH –“Sometimes your joy is the source of your smile, but sometimes your smile can be the source of your joy.”

THICH NHAT HANH –“That path is you. That is why it will never tire of waiting Whether it is covered with red dust, autumn leaves, or icy snow, come back to the path. You will be like the tree of life. Your leaves, trunk, branches, and the blossoms of your soul will be fresh and beautiful, once you enter the practice of Earth Touching.”

THICH NHAT HANH –“When we open the window and look out onto the Dharmakaya, we see that life is infinitely marvellous. At that very moment, we can vow to be awake all day long, realising joy, peace, freedom and harmony throughout our lives. When we do this, our mind becomes clear like a calm river.”

THICH NHAT HANH –“You are me, and I am you. Isn’t it obvious that we “inter-are”? You cultivate the flower in yourself, so that i will be beautiful. I transform the garbage in myself, so that you will not have to suffer I support you; you support me. I am in this world to offer you peace; you are in this world to bring me joy.”

THICH NHAT HANT –‘It is not by going out for a demonstration against nuclear missiles … but with our capacity of being peace that we can make peace.”

THOMAS A. EDISON –“Being busy does not always mean real work. The object of all work is production or accomplishment and to either of these ends there must be forethought, system, planning, intelligence, and honest purpose, as well as perspiration. Seeming to do is not doing.”

It is like wanting to give money to a needy person: first we must have or make some money, because only then can we give it away The best spiritual training is to serve the needs of others, the mother beings, with no selfish motivations. That means that our purpose in generating peace and joy in ourselves must be for the sake of others, or at least that must be our aim. Thus we must create and feel peace and joy in ourselves with no hesitation. When we have gained these benefits, we must share them with others, with the greatest joy. If we have peace, spontaneously all our words and actions will be expressions of peace and joy. Then, even if we are not actively sharing peace or trying to help others, our good qualities will still have a positive effect on many around us.”

Keynesian exuberance for the powers of stimulating demand or the ‘consumer’ has been in vogue since the 1930s. It is sheer nonsense which is taught in every school across the globe. Keynesian economics is little more than intellectual pablum used by those in power or by a technocratic and largely illiterate elite to increase their power; enhance government; print money and otherwise destroy normal economic relationships. Keynes’ theory, so believed by professors is in practice a disaster.

Keynes was a left wing wall flower and a member of the deranged Bloomsbury group of inter-World War British pacifists. He was an arrogant theorist who truly believed in the magical elixir of large government and in the technocratic dream of controlling billions of personal, business and economic decisions, to programmatically construct a perfect world order. Keynes gave intellect and jargon filled cover and rationale to politicians and demagogues who would cite his book, ‘The General Theory of Employment, Interest and Money’, to justify state interventionism.

According to this theory which has failed in practice every time it has been tried, governments can stimulate an economy through granting consumers, workers and businesses sums of borrowed money. This is termed a ’stimulus’. This debt or current deficit financing stimulus, is then paid back or retired, when the economy strengthened by consumer spending and business investment, produces a surplus of tax revenues. The stimulus is needed, so argued Keynes, to overcome business cycles, downturns and unexpected events which would decrease jobs, increase unemployment and impact state revenues. By macro and micro-managing economic and production processes, the state, so thought Keynes, would avoid cyclical variations and ensure that the lowest level of unemployment could be maintained. Government power was thus indispensable to full employment and income equality.

There are many problems with such a counter-rational plan to economic management. None of Keynes’ core assumptions make sense when they are analysed either separately or together. Business cycles have historically been caused by governments, and they are usually a response to government policies to increase the size of the state through trade barriers, higher taxation, more spending, more regulation and programs of fear and compliance. The Great Depression, the 70s Stagflation and the current financial crisis are all obvious examples of this fact. Government causing economic malaise would appear to mean that government programs are not the solutions required to either get out of an economic downturn, nor to prevent future derailments from taking place.

The main impact of Keynesian economic stimuli is to increase debt; raise future tax rates and distort the normal functionings of economic markets and personal and corporate decision making. Governments choose winners and confirm losers. The winners will include companies which get bailed out, those receiving welfare, unions and others having their jobs protected, those receiving redistributed incomes and those paid off for political support. The losers invariably include firms both domestic and international who want fair and free trade; higher income families; small businesses who are classified under high income categories; future generations who must pay off the debt; and consumers who pay a higher costs for all products and services.

Under Keynesian philosophy, government and technocrats assume the role of God. Given the poverty of God heads throughout history, this is probably not a noble supposition to support.

Brian Reidl from Heritage Institute wrong an excellent article recently on the fallacy that government spending, or what is termed Keynesian deficit spending, run by God-heads, is beneficial (see Reidl

http://www.frontpagemag.com/Articles/authors.aspx?GUID=220a4261-b3c8-4338-a5be-62bcc3f3b8d3). In this article he makes the following important points about demand-side management and the Keynesian fetish for economic control.

“Government cannot create new purchasing power out of thin air. If Congress funds new spending with taxes, it is simply redistributing existing income. If Congress instead borrows the money from domestic investors, those investors will have that much less to invest or to spend in the private economy. If Congress borrows the money from foreigners, the balance of payments will adjust by equally reducing net exports, leaving GDP unchanged. Every dollar Congress spends must first come from somewhere else.

This does not mean that government spending has no economic impact at all. Government spending often alters the consumption of total demand, such as increasing consumption at the expense of investment.”

When stimulus packages are created the money has to come from someone via taxes, or be printed. Both are net negatives to the economy. Economic growth only results from producing more goods and services (not from redistributing existing income), and that requires productivity growth and growth in the labor supply as productivity not only increases wealth but also wages and wage opportunities.

Historically of course government spending has reduced productivity and long-term economic growth due to some obvious reasons. As government spends more it raises taxes which reduces profits, productivity and wage and job creation. As government incurs more debt through stimulus and demand side packages it reduces the incentive to produce and displaces money by removing the more productive private sector from the economic equation and replacing it with a far less effective state dollar, taxed or printed on government printing press. The inefficiency of government policy in health, housing, education, and general industry are obvious creating huge costs which must be borne by ordinary taxpayers – ineffective solutions at a higher price one can say.

And as Reidl sources and proves:

“Mountains of academic studies show how government expansions reduce economic growth:

1.Public Finance Review reported that “higher total government expenditure, no matter how financed, is associated with a lower growth rate of real per capita gross state product.”

2.The Quarterly Journal of Economics reported that “the ratio of real government consumption expenditure to real GDP had a negative association with growth and investment,” and “growth is inversely related to the share of government consumption in GDP, but insignificantly related to the share of public investment.”

3.A Journal of Macroeconomics study discovered that “the coefficient of the additive terms of the government-size variable indicates that a 1% increase in government size decreases the rate of economic growth by 0.143%.”

4.Public Choice reported that “a one percent increase in government spending as a percent of GDP (from, say, 30 to 31%) would raise the unemployment rate by approximately .36 of one percent (from, say, 8 to 8.36 percent).”

It is obvious that Keynesian economics and demand management are tools for fools. Wealth, a better society, a cleaner world, a higher level of development is not coerced by government. It only occurs when free people operating in free markets are allowed to interact and determine the price and supply of various goods and services. Government involvement ensures the opposite and is a theory mired in cultish theological absurdity.
