Awareness Requires Living In The Here And

Each Person Decides In Early Childhood How He Will Live And How He Will Die... His Trivial Behavior May Be Decided By Reason, But His Important Decisions Have Already Been Made: What Kind Of Person He Will Marry, How Many Children He Will Have, What Kind Of Bed He Will Die In... It Is Incredible To Think, At First, That Man's Fate, All His Nobility And All His Degradation, Is Decided By A Child No More Than Six Years Old, And Usually Three... (but) It Is Very Easy To Believe By Looking At What Is Happening In The World Today, And What Happened Yesterday, And Seeing What Will Happen Tomorrow.

The Moment A Little Boy Is Concerned With Which Is A Jay And Which Is A Sparrow, He Can No Longer See The Birds Or Hear Them Sing.

We Are Born Princes And The Civilizing Process Makes Us Frogs.

Every Man Must, In A Measure, Be Alone In The World. No Heart Was Ever Cast In The Same Mould As That Which We Bear Within Us.

Awareness Means The Capacity To See A Coffeepot And Hear The Birds Sing In One's Own Way And Not The Way One Was Taught.
