We Are All Linked By A Fabric Of Unseen Connections. This Fabric Is Constantly Changing And Evolving. This Field Is Directly Structured And Influenced By Our Behavior And By Our Understanding.

There Is A Difficulty With Only One Person Changing. People Call That Person A Great Saint Or A Great Mystic Or A Great Leader, And They Say, 'well, He's Different From Me - I Could Never Do It.' What's Wrong With Most People Is That They Have This Block - They Feel They Could Never Make A Difference, And Therefore, They Never Face The Possibility, Because It Is Too Disturbing, Too Frightening.

From The Outset, However, This Whole Controversy Has Been Plagued By Tacit Assumptions, Very Often Of A Philosophical Rather Than A Physical Character.

The Ability To Perceive Or Think Differently Is More Important Than The Knowledge Gained.

The Notion Of A Separate Organism Is Clearly An Abstraction, As Is Also Its Boundary. Underlying All This Is Unbroken Wholeness Even Though Our Civilization Has Developed In Such A Way As To Strongly Emphasize The Separation Into Parts.
