Really Creative

Slips of the tongue or the finger are not rarely really creative, meaning it is Oneness - The Creative - itself - trying to talk to one...

Heart Point

"Tolerance does not come by learning but by insight."

Hazrat Inayat Khan

"The heart point of view of the sage is to regard all opinions as offspring of mind, and knowing that spiritual evolution is not a mental process -- rather a sloughing of mind -- it is not against any special opinion, thought or belief but against mental centering in itself that the sage is opposed. And the only way he can oppose it is to give all love and tenderness toward all people, regardless of opinions, knowing there is no such thing as right opinion and wrong opinion, that "opining" itself leads to difficulties."

Hazrat Samuel L. Lewis

Whole Point

"The whole point is that there is only one way, but that way manifests in as many different ways as there are people and customs and beliefs. Our real job is to find our own way, sailing with the winds of change, the winds of stress and pain and suffering, the winds of joy and love, until we realize that we have also never left port, that we are never far from our real selves."

Jon Kabat-Zinn

Let´s Rise

"Let's rise above this
animalistic behavior
and be kind to one another."

Jalal al-Din Rumi

Better Ways

“many of the times in the social world of work and families, we react in the same way as if we were being threatened with a life-threatening situation, even though what’s really happening is we’re being challenged with an ego-threatening situation.”

Jon Kabat-Zinn

There are better ways.

Trust

My friend has a daughter, who suddenly at the age of 17 lost eyesight and ability to move legs. The doctors said so it will remain for the rest of her life, because of this and that...The mother did not believe them at all. The daughter walked out of hospital, seeing, healed, two months later. She is now 37 and a good therapist.

What and whom will I believe today?

Nonviolence

"Emotional intelligence in the work that we do in the Resolving Conflict Creatively Program, is about equipping young people with the kinds of skills they need to both identify and manage their emotions, to communicate those emotions effectively, and to resolve conflict nonviolently. So it's a whole set of skills and competencies that, for us, fall under the umbrella of emotional intelligence."

Linda Lantieri


"Nonviolence is not a dogma; it is a process."

Thich Nhat Hanh


"Violence sometimes may have cleared away obstructions quickly, but it never has proved itself creative."


Albert Einstein

Basic Wealth

"All these trips that we lay on ourselves—the heavy-duty fearing that we’re bad and hoping that we’re good...—never touch our basic wealth."

Who Is

"Do not equate unconsciousness with who the person is."
