thinking years people
Most people think that aging is genetic and yet if your parents lived to age 80+ that will add three years to your life.
struggle years practice
If you approach a difficult problem without struggle, your ego will at first try to take charge from years of habit. Do the minimum and stand back. Solutions incubate at a deep level, not at the speed demanded by your mind. Take a break and come back the next day. Allow the answers to arise from your center, even if it takes a while. However much you have to retrain yourself in this practice of Least Effort, the ability to come from your center is worth the highest price anyone could pay.

98% of the atoms in your body were not there a year ago.
years ideas brain
We live in the Age of the Higher Brain, the cerebral cortex that has grown enormously over the last few millennia, overshadowing the ancient, instinctive lower brain. The cortex is often called the new brain, yet the old brain held sway in humans for millions of years, as it does today in most living things. The old brain can't conjure up ideas or read.

powerful order years
You only have to gaze around you at the natural world to see the proof that beauty, form, order, and growth have survived for billions of years. In dealing with your shadow, you are aligning yourself with the same infinite power. The shadow isn't a fearsome opponent but a worthy one. Powerful as it is, the power of wholeness is infinitely greater, and by a miracle of creation, it is within your grasp.
art men years
For thousands of years, human beings have been obsessed with beauty, truth, love, honor, altruism, courage, social relationships, art, and God. They all go together as subjective experiences, and it's a straw man to set God up as the delusion. If he is, then so is truth itself or beauty itself.
cultural india influence mistake software
It would be a real mistake for us to think that India will ever influence the world through its outsourcing or through its software technology. If India is going to influence the world, it will be through a cultural invasion, a cultural colonization.
asking believe disappear existence happens meaning movies purpose somebody
I started asking people, 'Where has he gone?' ... I couldn't believe that somebody could be with you and take you to the movies and then disappear completely. And so it's been a life-long quest. Where did we come from? What are we doing here? Is there meaning or purpose to our existence? Do we have a soul? What happens to us after we die?
