I trust in the process of life.
I do not crave for the peace that
Passth all understanding
What I seek is the understanding
That bringth all the peace

Graze on my lips; and if those hills be dry,
Stray lower, where the pleasant fountains lie.

And I really feel that voting is essential. Not just for the democracy, and the power of one vote, and blah blah but for personal gloating as well. Because later when the government shits all over the place (and it does), I have a guilt free conscious to publicly denounce my faith in democracy only to stand in line to vote again the next time. It’s quite fun actually. No one can accuse me of not casting my vote and then complaining. To feel betrayed one must have to put faith.

In my experiences and revelations it took many years to hear about the word enlightenment let alone understand it.
I now understand it as knowing, without doubt there is something else beyond our senses and this dimension. Although one knows all this, it takes time to work out. The only way to work it out is to be aware of the great teachers and that we are all capable of realising beyond this material existence. It will be a changed world when everyone realises we are all one with everything. Our lives are interconnected, our actions, however small have a knockon- experience and whats more, we are more importantly, accountable in the great scheme of things. One must be at all times, mindfull of the effects of personal and collective actions. We must learn that to truly love, we must let people know that we truly care for them but to let them free, as our God, which is within everything has given us freedom. You tube has many teachers, meditators, scientists, metaphysics, prophets who can all help us understand this unified field, but we need quiet time to help us assimilate and we eventually and must, individually reach our own enlightenment.-response to Eric

Circa 440 BC the Oracle is also said to have said that there was no one wiser than Socrates, to which Socrates said that either all were equally ignorant, or that he was wiser in that he alone was aware of his own ignorance. This claim is related to one of the most famous mottos of Delphi, which Socrates said he learned there, Gnothi Seauton (Γνώθι Σεαυτόν): “know thyself!”. Another famous motto of Delphi is Meden agan (Μηδὲν ἄγαν): “nothing in excess” (literally, “nothing excessively”). Socrates was perhaps only about 30 years old at the time, his fame as a philosopher was yet to come. It has been said that in encouraging Socrates’ philosophical leanings, the Oracle was to have its greatest impact upon the future of successive civilisations. One version of the claim stated that a friend of Socrates went before Pythia asking, “Is there any man alive wiser than Socrates?” The answer that he received was simply, “No.”
In 359 BC, Philip II of Macedon consulted the Oracle : Philip also had a highly spirited black colt that no one could ride. The Oracle of Delphi stated whoever could ride this horse would conquer the world, but despite many attempts neither Philip nor any of his generals could mount the horse. His son, Alexander, later to be called the Great, succeeded as he realized that the horse was afraid of his own shadow. Philip gave the horse Bucephalus to Alexander, who took the steed on his conquest of Asia

Create like a god, command like a king, work like a slave.

Mathematics is not the rigid and rigidity-producing schema that the layman thinks it is; rather, in it we find ourselves at that meeting point of constraint and freedom that is the very essence of human nature.

It is not worth an intelligent man’s time to be in the majority. By definition, there are already enough people to do that.
- G. H. Hardy
Great spirits have always encountered opposition from mediocre minds. The mediocre mind is incapable of understanding the man who refuses to bow blindly to conventional prejudices and chooses instead to express his opinions courageously and honestly.
- Albert Einstein
Science may set limits to knowledge, but should not set limits to imagination.
