" When one is open minded, and does not take for granted the spoken and unspoken 'self - evident truths', and when one does not force by willpower oneself to see, hear, think and feel only things which are 'appropriate' - then one can surf the crazy currents of information in an aware and efficient way. Then one realizes that there is no useless knowledge and no impossible things."

I haven’t left the usual words inspiration for a good many months… so here is what I have been feeling… Only the weak are cruel. Gentleness can only be expected from the strong. Constant kindness can accomplish much. As the sun makes ice melt, kindness causes misunderstanding, mistrust and hostility to evaporate. You cannot do a kindness too soon because you never know how soon it will be too late. This is what I am certain of… and there are very few certainties in life…
" To see life from the perspective of intuition is like looking at life from the summit of the mountain, whereas seeing life only from the perspective of intellect is like looking at life from the foot of the mountain. Through learning to listen to our intuition, we learn to be in contact with the Whole. "
