Existential planes are not given conditions but levels of intensity of metaphysical seeing (sanskrit vidya).
The wisdom of non-differentiation is superior to the wisdom of differentiation, but it could not be achieved without the wisdom of differentiation. Therefore the wisdom of differentiation should precede the wisdom of non-differentiation.
5. How can it be imagined about the one who is unable to surmount his own education and the effects of his family, schooling and mass communication that he can surmount that which will arise as ontic bondage on his spiritual way?
6. To eliminate his defective judgements of value man should attend to a process of radical autocorrection in the course of which every earlier view should be rejected, and then that which stands the test of the new view should be reaccepted.
9. Not only a view but a way of looking; not only a view of the world but a way of looking at the world; not only a Weltanschauung (world view) but world contemplation; not only structure and frame but a living process…
32. Spiritual and theistic Weltanschauungs should be markedly different from materialistic and atheistic ones in each aspect of life: in eating, sleeping, walking but first of all in their views.
39. There is but one true normality: the normality of the centre.
40. If the knowledge related to the centre is lacking, then in fact the knowledge related to the periphery is lacking as well.
52. Beyond a certain level there can not be external or internal any more. There is no external or internal - for in relation to the limit of consciousness everything is inside and in relation to the centre of consciousness everything is outside.
53. Existential planes are not given conditions but levels of intensity of metaphysical seeing (sanskrit vidya).
56. The wisdom of non-differentiation is superior to the wisdom of differentiation, but it could not be achieved without the wisdom of differentiation. Therefore the wisdom of differentiation should precede the wisdom of non-differentiation.
57. Things can only be united if they have previously been separated.
62. Earth can essentially be in touch with Heaven (the Motionless Mover) only where it is not in motion - i. e. at the poles.
64. In the cosmos the spirit manifests itself as light. When Christ says that »I am the light of the cosmos«, it means that He is the light of the cosmos which is beyond the cosmos - that is to say, He is the spirit of the cosmos but this spirit is beyond the cosmos.
65. The material world is essentially a spiritual world. What does »spiritual« mean? Does that mean that it is more subtle than material? It also means that but the main point is something else. The world is spiritual if the fact that it is in the consciousness becomes evident.

Yesterday I went to a place that I go often to just relax more so than other coffee shops and also to see a friend who I have worked with for about the last 5 months. Wisdom Tea House in monument is one of the best places to go for a great afternoon of tea and great food. If you are ever in Monument, Colorado and have the chance to, check it out and I highly doubt you will be disappointed in your experience.

First time I've entered Macro Mondays.
Was thinking at work today what I could, then suddenly realised working at a University, that I was at a place of Wisdom.
When I got home this evening I dug out the degree, and took this.
"What human being can learn the counsel of God?
Or who can discern what the Lord wills?
For the reasoning of mortals is worthless,
and our designs are likely to fail,
for a perishable body weighs down the soul,
and this earthy tent burdens the mind full of thoughts.
We can hardly guess at what is on earth,
and what is at hand we find with labour;
but who has traced out what is in the heavens?
Who has learned your counsel,
unless you have given wisdom
and sent your holy spirit from on high?
And thus the paths of those on earth were set right,
and people were taught what pleases you."-Wisdom 9:13-18b, which is today's 1st reading at Mass.

I'm in a CZJ Biometar mood. What a great lens for close up work and bokeh!
This photo is scanned with Vuescan, because my Silverfast is letting me down after the last upgrade. Vuescan takes some getting used to, as you may notice by the low-fi appearance of this image. However, the effect is quite pleasing to my eyes, so I'll share some of the Vuescanned pictures with you.
Please take a look at my most interesting photos Or take a look at my entire portfolio
