Gandha Baba: “God is simple. Everything else is complex.” (Yogananda 42)AoaYwisdom • Hinduism • Yogananda

. . . Know that the magnificent variety
of the clouds and the weather comes from
the total simplicity of the sun and the moon. (Rumi 121)ERwisdom • Sufism • Rumi

The One is too simple, too ultimate, too primal to express any condition of existence or to possess any quality, although existence and all its qualities emanate from the One. (Hixon 94)CHresearcher • modern • Hixon

In the beginning there was . . . a being whose reality escapes the definition of the word “being,” since it is the source from which all being emerges. That being exists in a psychological dimension, a spacious present, in which everything that was or is or will be (in your terms) is kept in immediate attention, poised in a divine context that is characterized by such a brilliant concentration that the grandest and the lowliest, the largest and the smallest, are equally held in a multiloving constant focus. (Roberts 155)DEVF1channeled • modern • Seth

The One Existence NOTE: the Source, spoken of sometimes as Brahman, is absolute and undivided; it has no attributes, no qualities. . . .

When you try to think of this Existence, in the very thinking you must separate yourself from it. You as a mind endeavor to consider something which is thought of and is not the thinker. . . . Consciousness implies duality, something which is conscious, and something of which it is conscious. (Besant 101)SLwisdom • Theosophy • Besant

The Ascendant NOTE: pure consciousness is the Source of everything, all knowledge, all thought, all that exists. (MSI 62)

The Ascendant [is] free from limitations of any kind, including the limit of having had a beginning. (MSI 104)Ewisdom • modern, Hindu • Isham

I, and the I AM of you and of your brother, and the consciousness and intelligence of all cells of all bodies, are ONE. (Benner 55)ILchanneled • New Thought • Benner

I am the original seed of all existences. (Vyasa 127)

I am the source of everything; from Me the entire creation flows. (Vyasa 166)BGwisdom • Hindusim • ancient

The Lord is the creator of everything. Everything is born of Him, everything is sustained by Him, and everything, after annihilation, rests in Him. (Vyasa 74)BGwisdom • Hindusim • ancient

Imagine a sun, luminous, clear, unobstructed. . . . Imagine that sun shining out impartially on us and all things, penetrating all directions; its energy, which is the manifestation of compassion, is like this. Nothing can obstruct it and it pervades everywhere. (Rinpoche 153)TBoLDwisdom • Tibetan • Rinpoche

This I AM . . . is wholly Impersonal, and knows neither time, space, nor different identities. (Benner 187)ILchanneled • New Thought • Benner

The Atman NOTE: unchanging, eternal, innermost self is beyond sound and form, without touch and taste and perfume. It is eternal, unchangeable, and without beginning or end. (unknown 61)KaUwisdom • Vedic • unknown

Love was the very fabric of the universe. . . .

Love ties everything together and allows for its material creation and existence. (Taylor 3)VS-BTresearcher • modern • Taylor

[The Supreme All-originating Spirit] is creative. If it were not creative nothing could come into existence. . . . Love is the prime moving power of the Creating Spirit. (Troward 126-127)ELwisdom • New Thought • Troward

All things change constantly because none of them is the Essence of God, which alone is absolutely changeless and eternal. (Chittick 18)

At root the substance of the cosmos is one. It never changes from its reality. (Arabi 97)SPoKwisdom • Sufism • Arabi

Only God alone is absolutely eternal. For all created beings, eternity is inevitably relative, since whatever has a beginning will also necessarily have an end. . . . Those souls who have attained Perfection rejoin the. . . . One and become eternal. (Elahi 27)PoPwisdom • Iranian • Elahi

Everyone inhabits a reality of non-change lying beyond all change. (Chopra 33)ABTMresearcher • modern • Chopra

Life precedes form, and life survives the last atom. (Blavatsky 103)tSDclairvoyant • Theosophy • Blavatsky

Everything you see in the heavens and the earth is Me, being created. The Process of Creation is never over. It is never complete. I am never “done.” This is another way of saying everything is forever changing. . . .

The One Unchanging Truth is that God is always changing. . . .

Life is change. God is life.

Therefore, God is change. (Walsch 345)

Now, this process that you and I are is eternal. It always was, is now, and always will be occurring. It needs no “help” from you in order to occur. It happens “automatically.” And, when left alone, it happens perfectly. (Walsch 350)CWG3channeled • modern • Walsch

You are perfect, just as you are. . . .

A tree is no less perfect because it is a seedling. (Walsch 31)CWG2channeled • modern • Walsch

The only perfection is the Tao NOTE: the Source. . . . The Tao is in equilibrium, while the universe is in motion. . . . The universe is “imperfect,” unstable, and incomplete. . . . If the universe were also complete, there would be no room for growth and movement. (Hoodwin 346)JoYSchanneled • modern • Hoodwin

It is impossible for there to be something in the cosmos whose very form is not supported by a divine reality. (Arabi 38)SPoKwisdom • Sufism • Arabi

Nagarjuna’s own teaching as contained in . . . the Avatangsaka Sutra, can be summarized thus: . . . “The True Essence embraceth all phenomena, and all things exist in and by it.” . . .

An Absolute NOTE: the Source [is] inherent in phenomena, for the Absolute is the source and support of phenomena. (Dvagpo-Lharje 350-351)TYSDwisdom • Tibetan • Dvagpo-Lharje

The Essence of divinity is found in every single thing—nothing but it exists. . . . It causes every thing to be. . . . It enlivens them. . . .

There is nothing that is not pervaded by the power of divinity. (de León 24)

If God’s gaze NOTE: the Source were withdrawn for even a moment, all existence would be nullified. (de León 28)EKwisdom • Jewish • de León

Subject: In all creation from the very edges of every universe to the center and back, there is a force, unseen but there nonetheless, which is an invisible structure holding everything together. . . .

This then is the God concept. . . . Were this to phase out for even a fraction of a second there would be total, utter, complete destruction. (Cannon 143-144)BDLhypnosis • modern • Cannon

It is an amazing thing that something flows forth and nonetheless remains within. (Eckhart 65)

The sun casts its bright light upon all creatures. Whatever the sun casts its light upon draws the sun up into itself; yet as a result the sun does not lose any of its power of illumination. (Eckhart 65)

It is true that time comes from heaven, but this happens as a kind of falling away. . . . In its course, on the other hand, heaven is eternal; it knows nothing about time. (Eckhart 86)Bwisdom • modern, Christian • Eckhart

Sri Yukteswar: “It is the Spirit of God that actively sustains every form and force in the universe; yet He is transcendental and aloof in the blissful uncreated void beyond the worlds of vibratory phenomena.” (Yogananda 145)AoaYwisdom • Hinduism • Yogananda

Sense creation not as something completed, but as constantly becoming, evolving, ascending. This transports you from a place where there is nothing new to a place where there is nothing old, where everything renews itself. (de León 99)EKwisdom • Jewish • de León

[The Masters’] attitude toward life is that it is . . . never divided or separated from its source. . . .

They see the One Life emanating in and through all things. In fact, everything that has being is of the very essence of this one life. . . . It, of itself, flows freely and universally without cessation or limitation. (Spalding 125)

Life is a process of inward force working itself out into outward form. (Spalding 132)MotFE4wisdom • Spalding

It is the One Life, eternal, invisible, yet Omnipresent, without beginning or end, yet periodical in its regular manifestations. . . . Its one absolute attribute, which is Itself, eternal, ceaseless Motion, is called in esoteric parlance the “Great Breath,” which is the perpetual motion of the universe. . . .

Intra-Cosmic motion is eternal and ceaseless; cosmic motion (the visible, or that which is subject to perception) is finite and periodical. (Blavatsky 3-4)tSDclairvoyant • Theosophy • Blavatsky

[The Eternal] is forever changing and transforming and flowing (into particular forms) according to the substance of Its essence. Its essential motion of being (by giving being to all substances) is the Source of all motions. . . .

It is through this (universal motion . . . ) that the Eternal is connected to that which originates in time. . . .

The meaning of “motion” (in the real and primary sense) is this continual renewal of the state (of being) of a thing. (Sadra 121-122)WotTwisdom • Islamic • Sadra

The infinite does not enter into existence all at once; rather it enters little by little, with no end. (Arabi 96)SPoKwisdom • Sufism • Arabi

The One, perfect because It seeks nothing, needs nothing, overflows . . . and Its superabundance makes something . . . other than Itself, which is Being. -Plotinus (Hixon 99)CHresearcher • modern • Hixon

Its sound is OM — Patanjali

OM is the fundamental vibration of creation . . . “the Eternally new voice of God.” . . . It contains within its vibratory matrix all vibrations. . . .

Even with a slight inward movement of consciousness, it is common to hear the first stages of OM. It can sound like “the voice of many waters” (PSALMS 93:4), like the roar of an ocean wave, like a rainstorm, like a choir of angels singing, like a chorus of tinkling bells, like the wind sighing through a pine forest, like a deeply resonating bass drum. . . .

OM is the cause of creation. . . .

This one sound vibration is a master key to unlock all of the fundamental issues of creation. (MSI 64-66)Ewisdom • modern, Hindu • Isham

Patanjali speaks of God as the actual Cosmic Sound of Aum heard in meditation. Aum is the Creative Word, the sound of the Vibratory Motor. (Yogananda 233)AoaYwisdom • Hinduism • Yogananda

All of matter is vibrating energy. To those who are sufficiently conscious, these vibrations can be heard. (MSI 219)Ewisdom • modern, Hindu • Isham

Other radiations such as sound can also produce holograms. NOTE: this is VERY interesting. TO DO: Research this and include more! (Friedman 54)BS&Sresearcher • modern • Friedman

Electrons and all other particles are no more substantive or permanent than the form a geyser of water takes as it gushes out of a fountain. They are sustained by a constant influx. (Talbot 47)HUscientific, researcher • modern • Talbot

Science has long believed that one of the most absolute rules in the universe is that things always tend toward a greater state of disorder. . . .

When mixed together, some chemicals develop into a more ordered arrangement, not a more disordered one. [Prigogine] calls these spontaneously appearing ordered systems “dissipative structures” and won a Nobel Prize for unraveling their mysteries. . . . Far from materializing out of nowhere, they are an indication of a deeper level of order in the universe. (Talbot 293)HUscientific, researcher • modern • Talbot

No . . . form ever remains for two instants. . . . In every instant the cosmos in respect to its form undergoes a new creation in which there is no repetition. (Arabi 97)

In reality, the situation is new forever, so there is nothing that returns. (Arabi 99)SPoKwisdom • Sufism • Arabi

Both the nature of the [celestial] sphere and its animal soul . . . are (ceaselessly) perishing and passing away with the continuous renewal and inflowing (of their being). (Sadra 128)WotTwisdom • Islamic • Sadra

Spirit makes things out of itself; it manifests in the visible world by becoming the thing that it wills to become. In the world of the individual the same process takes place. (Holmes 18)CMSwisdom • New Thought • Holmes

God has reproduced the whole universe in miniature within us: all the forces of creation are already within us. . . . Hence we must truly know our self in order to know the universe, and in knowing our self, we know God. (Elahi 35)PoPwisdom • Iranian • Elahi

God is an indwelling presence, the core of what I am and what everything is. God is life itself, speaking through all life. (Maclean 217)GHLcompilation • modern • many

The Do-Ha Mahamudra, by Saraha, teaches:

‘All manifestation and feelings are identical with the essence of mind.

There being no difference between the sea and its waves.’ (Chang xxxvii)TYSDwisdom • Tibetan • Dvagpo-Lharje

Spirit makes things out of itself; it manifests in the visible world by becoming the thing that it wills to become. (Holmes 18)CMSwisdom • New Thought • Holmes

All objects, all of everything, everywhere, always, have at their root the One Unchanging. (MSI 293)Ewisdom • modern, Hindu • Isham

Subject: All of the universe—including all of the planes of this universe and some of the other universes . . . all of it is energy of various intensity and different levels. . . . They’re just different vibrations of energy. (Cannon 104)BDLhypnosis • modern • Cannon

Nothing can Be without manifesting and expressing some phase of Me, Who AM not only the Builder of all forms, but the Dweller in each. (Benner 45)ILchanneled • New Thought • Benner

Invisible “energy” is the “space” which holds “matter together.” (Walsch 69)CWG2channeled • modern • Walsch

Every region of space is awash with different kinds of fields composed of waves of varying lengths. . . . When physicists calculate the minimum amount of energy a wave can possess, they find that every cubic centimeter of empty space contains more energy than the total energy of all the matter in the known universe!

Some physicists refuse to take this calculation seriously and believe it must somehow be in error. . . . [Bohm] feels most physicists ignore the existence of its enormous ocean of energy because, like fish who are unaware of the water in which they swim, they have been taught to focus primarily on objects embedded in the ocean, on matter. . . .

Space is not empty. It is full. . . . The universe is not separate from this cosmic sea of energy, it is a ripple on its surface, a comparatively small “pattern of excitation” in the midst of an unimaginably vast ocean. (Talbot 51)HUscientific, researcher • modern • Talbot

An electron is not an “elementary particle.” It is just a name given to a certain aspect of the holomovement. . . .

Everything is a seamless extension of everything else. . . .

Take a moment to consider this. Look at your hand. Now look at the light streaming from the lamp beside you. And at the dog resting at your feet. You are not merely made of the same things. You are the same thing. One thing. Unbroken. One enormous something that has extended its uncountable arms and appendages into all the apparent objects, atoms, restless oceans, and twinkling stars in the cosmos. (Talbot 48)HUscientific, researcher • modern • Talbot

A handful of pebbles dropped into a still pool shatters the calm reflection of the single Moon into a myriad of broken shards. (MSI 281)Ewisdom • modern, Hindu • Isham

Dr. Peebles: The greatest illusion is that you are alone; never are you alone. The second greatest is that you are unloved; you cannot escape love, for it is the invisible essence of all things. (Pendleton 23)TDAchanneled • modern • Pendleton

This world we inhabit is very real—no illusion—but our perceptions of it create the illusion that our world is composed of material aggregates that exist separate and distinct from one another when actually there is no such separation, no real distinction, except in consciousness. (Pendleton 27)TDAchanneled • modern • Pendleton

The Buddha compared the universe to a vast net woven of a countless variety of brilliant jewels, each with a countless number of facets. Each jewel reflects in itself every other jewel in the net and is, in fact one with every other jewel. (Rinpoche 37)TBoLDwisdom • Tibetan • Rinpoche

As Tibet scholar John Blofeld states . . . “Everything interpenetrates, and is interpenetrated by, everything else.” . . .

The Hawaiian kahunas say that everything in the universe is infinitely interconnected and that this interconnectivity can almost be thought of as a web. The shaman, recognizing the interconnectedness of all things, sees himself at the center of this web and thus capable of affecting every other part of the universe. . . .

The twelfth-century Sufis summed it up by saying simply that “the macrocosm is the microcosm.” . . .

As Black Elk put it, “Anywhere is the center of the world.” . . .

The author of the Hindu Avatamsaka Sutra likened the universe to a legendary network of pearls. . . . “If you look at one [pearl], you see all the others reflect in it. . . . Each object in the world is not merely itself, but involves every other object and, in fact, is everything else.

Fa-Tsang, who held that the whole cosmos was implicit in each of its parts, likened the universe to a multidimensional network of jewels, each one reflecting all others ad infinitum. . . .

Fa-Tsang suspended a candle in the middle of a room full of mirrors. This, he told the empress Wu, represented the relationship of the One to the many. Then he took a polished crystal and placed it in the center of the room so that it reflected everything around it. This, he said, showed the relationship of the many to the One. . . . Fa-Tsang stressed that his model was static and did not reflect the dynamism and constant movement of the cosmic interrelatedness among all things in the universe. (Talbot 287, 289-291)HUscientific, researcher • modern • Talbot

Saint Augustine says God has created all things not that he would let them come into existence and then go their own way, but rather he remains in them. (Eckhart 67)Bwisdom • modern, Christian • Eckhart

The little space within the heart is as great as this vast universe. The heavens and the earth are there, and the sun, and the moon, and the stars; fire and lightning and winds are there; and all that now is and all that is not: for the whole universe is in Him and He dwells within our heart. (unknown 120)CUwisdom • Vedic • unknown

God is present in everything. (de León 24)EKwisdom • Jewish • de León

Each portion of consciousness is a part of All That Is NOTE: the Source. . . . The universe falls together in a spontaneous, divine order. . . . Each portion of consciousness carries within it indelibly the knowledge of the whole. (Roberts 121)DEVF1channeled • modern • Seth

[Leibniz] proposed that the universe is constituted out of fundamental entities he called “monads,” each of which contains a reflection of the whole universe. What is significant is that Leibniz also gave the world integral calculus, and it was integral calculus that enabled Dennis Gabor to invent the hologram. (Talbot 291)HUscientific, researcher • modern • Talbot

Three-dimensionality is not the only remarkable aspect of holograms. If a piece of holographic film containing the image of an apple is cut in half and then illuminated by a laser; each half will still be found to contain the entire image of the apple! Even if the halves are divided again and then again, an entire apple can still be reconstructed from each small portion of the film (although the images will get hazier as the portions get smaller). Unlike normal photographs, every small fragment of a piece of holographic film contains all the information recorded in the whole. (Talbot 16-17)HUscientific, researcher • modern • Talbot

The whole is made up of the individual parts, and the individual parts are therefore not only part of the whole, but like a hologram are in fact the whole. (Brennan 131)HoLclairvoyant • modern • Brennan

Dr. Vince Bohm said in his book The Implicate Order that primary physical laws cannot be discoverable by a science that attempts to break the world into its parts. . . . “Parts are seen to be in immediate connection, in which their dynamical relationships depend in an irreducible way on the state of the whole system.” . . .

The hologram concept states that every piece is an exact representation of the whole and can be used to reconstruct the entire hologram. (Brennan 25)HoLclairvoyant • modern • Brennan

This Spirit is consciousness and gives consciousness to the body. (unknown 99)MaiUwisdom • Vedic • unknown

Spirit has a NOTE: physically-oriented consciousness. . . . The spirit may turn its consciousness off and on. By its nature consciousness may flicker and fluctuate, but the spirit does not. . . .

Consciousness does not refresh itself in sleep. It is merely turned in another direction. . . .

Turning it off does not extinguish it in the way that a light disappears when a switch is turned. . . . If consciousness were like a light that belonged to you, even when you switched it off, there would be a sort of twilight, but not darkness. . . .

The spirit, therefore, is never in a state of nothingness, with its consciousness extinguished. (Roberts 109-110)SSchanneled • modern • Seth

Dr. Peebles: God is all things, and God is consciousness—God is aware and active in the universe and throughout all time and space. Each and every human mind, mind of the animal, natural intelligence of the plants, and of the entire relationship of universe, are particles of mind. (Pendleton 183)TDAchanneled • modern • Pendleton

There is no such thing as dead matter. There is no object that was not formed by consciousness, and each consciousness, regardless of its degree, rejoices in sensation and creativity. (Roberts 11)SSchanneled • modern • Seth

Everything in the Universe, throughout all its kingdoms, is Conscious: i.e., endowed with a consciousness of its own kind and on its own plane of perception. (Blavatsky 120)tSDclairvoyant • Theosophy • Blavatsky

Each part has the consciousness of the Whole imbedded within it. Every element carries the imprint. . . .

The individual aspect of the ALL becomes aware of Itself. It becomes, quite literally, self conscious.

Then, gradually, it becomes conscious of all others, and then, of the fact that there are no others—that All is One. (Walsch 30-31)CWG2channeled • modern • Walsch

Consciousness is the fundamental reality of everything; it shines through everything. . . .

Consciousness, undivided, unchanging, contains complete knowledge, self-awareness. (MSI 301)Ewisdom • modern, Hindu • Isham

“The Universal Force is a universal Consciousness. This is what the seeker discovers. When he has contacted this current of consciousness in himself, he can switch on to any plane whatsoever of the universal reality, to any point, and perceive, understand the consciousness there, or even act upon it, because everywhere it is the same current of consciousness with different vibratory modalities.” — Satprem, on Sri Aurobindo (Judith 376)WoLiresearcher • modern • Judith

If there is a unifying field behind the world we experience, it is the very consciousness with which we perceive it. (Judith 89)WoLiresearcher • modern • Judith

There is one mind common to all individual men. Every man is an inlet to the same. (Emerson 33)GoEwisdom • modern • Emerson

The world as you know it exists as it does because you are yourself a living portion of a vast “conscious grid” of perception.

Every cell, in those terms, is a sender and a receiver. . . .

No systems are closed, however, so that basically the living grid of perception that causes one world or reality is also “wired into” all other such systems. There is a give-and-take between them. . . .

Your physical senses put you in a certain position within the entire grid. Animals, for example, while part of your experience, are also “tuned into” that grid at another level. The large classifications of mammals, fish, birds, men, reptiles, plants, and so forth, are [each] an integral part of that larger perceptive pattern. . . .

In various periods that “gridwork” might “carry more traffic” along certain circuits than at other periods. (Roberts 249)DEVF1channeled • modern • Seth

Consciousness can never be a closed system, and all barriers of such a nature are illusion. . . .

You are so afraid for your sense of identity that you resist the idea that the soul . . . is an open spiritual system. . . .

Your conception of reality is so limited that you take fright whenever you perceive any experience that does not fit into your conception. . . .

The inner self knows its relationship with the soul. It is a portion of the self that acts, you might say, as a messenger between the soul and the present personality. You must also realize that . . . one is the part of the other; there is no point where one begins and another ends. . . .

What seems subconscious in one instant may be conscious the next. . . .

You have only to extend your egotistical idea of reality, and you will find even your egotistical self accepting quite readily the existence of nonphysical information. . . .

There are no real divisions between the perceiver and the thing seemingly perceived. (Roberts 76, 78-79)SSchanneled • modern • Seth

Even as physical creatures, you are to some extent a portion of other consciousnesses. There are no limitations to the self. There are no limitations to its potentials. You can adopt artificial limitations through your own ignorance, however. You can identify, for example, with the outer ego alone and cut yourself off from abilities that are a part of you. (Roberts 12)SSchanneled • modern • Seth

Whatever knowledge man attains, whatever experience any one person accumulates, whatever arts or sciences you produce, all such information is instantly perceived at other levels of activity by each of the other units of consciousness that compose physical reality—whether those units form the shape of a rock, a raindrop, an apple, a cat, a frog or a shoe. (Roberts 178)DEVF1channeled • modern • Seth

In the view of those who know the self, the self is an ocean without shore, so knowledge of it has no end. (Arabi 345)SPoKwisdom • Sufism • Arabi

Each man’s nature in one way and another is vitally associated with the life and well-being of every other individual in the world and what affects one must in some degree affect the rest of humanity. (Spalding 7)MotFE4wisdom • Spalding

As long as one person is starving, then you are starving in ways that you are too ignorant to realize! . . .

Each portion of the world, in your terms, has certain meaning, and the people of course accept their own reality, and form it. . . .

These areas are important focal points; each working out certain beliefs in exaggerated form. (Roberts 543-544)CWSchanneled • modern • Seth

There is no place where another soul “ends” and ours “begins”! Just like there is no place where the air in the living room “stops” and the air in the dining room “starts.” It’s all the same air. It’s all the same soul! (Walsch 173)

Yet there is a place where the “air of the living room” becomes less dense. That is, it dissipates, becomes “thinner.” So, too, the “air of the dining room.” . . .

Because the air has taken on different characteristics, it seems as though it is different air. But it is not. It is all the same air, seeming different. (Walsch 177-178)

The further one moves from the point of this concentration, the more dissipated the energy becomes. . . . The aura fades. The energy never completely disappears, because it cannot. It is the stuff of which everything is made. It’s All There Is. Yet it can become very, very thin, very subtle. (Walsch 180)CWG3channeled • modern • Walsch

There are different kinds of selfhood, and an infinite variety of ways to experience self-awareness. (Roberts 530)

The fly is intensely conscious, at every moment engrossed in itself and its environment, precisely tuned to elements of which you are “unconscious.” There are simply different kinds of consciousness, and you cannot basically compare one to the other any more than you can compare, say, a toad to a star to an apple to a thought to a woman to a child to a native to a suburbanite to a spider to a cat. They are varieties of consciousness, each focused upon its own view of reality, each containing experience that others exclude. (Roberts 414)

Other species of consciousness—of a different order entirely, and with a different rhythm of experience—would think of a life in your terms as a day, and have no trouble bridging that gap between apparent life, death, and new life. (Roberts 305)UR2channeled • modern • Seth

All That Is NOTE: the Source endows each portion of its own transformed reality with a unique existence that is duplicated nowhere else, and each spark of consciousness is endowed with a divine heritage that is never extinguished. (Roberts 368)DEVF2channeled • modern • Seth

Michael: Entities are energies—there is no distinction; both are consciousness. Every consciousness has a unique quality. . . .

Broader, more blended energies have a less specific quality or stamp than those more specific. For example, the consciousness of the sun as a whole is a broad blend and would probably not be interpreted as an entity so much as an energy, but it is fundamentally no different from us. (Hoodwin 56)JoYSchanneled • modern • Hoodwin

Man can put his consciousness together in numberless ways and therefore perceive himself and his world in different fashions. Most likely the subjective nature of reality was perceived far differently in previous civilizations. There is no need to call one way superior to another. Each represents a particular focus and psychological mixture, and expresses a unique relationship between man and nature. . . . There are countless casts that consciousness can take. Each civilization, indeed each generation, latches upon one and holds it as its official psychological stance. (Roberts 104)AJoaAPchanneled • modern • James

There are even now in your species a number of different kinds of consciousness; different in that the physical life-situation is qualitatively experienced in ways that are not native to you in your culture; different in that the entire fabric of meaning, interpretation, experience, and life itself is “alien” to the kind of experience with which you are familiar. . . . Some such individuals exist within your own culture, and some with your kind of consciousness exist in cultures where they are a minority. . . .

Each group does possess a different relationship with the body, with nature, and with the world in general. . . .

Even now in some “tribal societies,” for example . . . while so-called individuality as you understand it is maintained, each self is also experienced as part of others in the tribe, and the natural environment. (Roberts 127-128)URchanneled • modern • Seth

The body that you have now is not the one that you had 10 years ago; its physical composition has died completely many times since your birth, but, again, your consciousness bridges those gaps. (Roberts 304)UR2channeled • modern • Seth

A man at seventy is not the boy he was at ten, nor was the boy at ten the man he was to be at seventy. Between the two there is, nevertheless, continuity of consciousness. (Evans-Wentz 4)TYSDwisdom • Tibetan • Dvagpo-Lharje

Seth: “You can change in life far more than you suspect, while still retaining the identity that is your own.

“In some cases you change so much that people knowing you at different times would seem to know and describe entirely different people.” (Roberts 7)AJoaAPchanneled • modern • James

The consciousness of the human is nothing other than the Infinite itself. The Universal Divine Consciousness already shines within everyone, always; it is only necessary to stop blocking it to experience it fully. (MSI 95)Ewisdom • modern, Hindu • Isham

With a clarity that extended beyond time into eternity, I knew that God was within. God was no distant figurehead defined by ideals and philosophies; God was within me, the core of my life, real, ever-present, inseparable. (Maclean 19)THASchanneled • modern • Maclean

It is according to this outflowing, yet remaining within works, that God has made the soul. (Eckhart 103)Bwisdom • modern, Christian • Eckhart

The most difficult thing for man to really grasp is this: That the “I amness” in himself is God. (Goddard 121)

Things have no life if they are severed from their roots, and our consciousness, our “I am-ness” is the root of all that springs in our world. (Goddard 227)Rmystic • New Thought • Goddard

Who am I?—

I, Who speak with such seeming knowledge and authority?

Listen!

I AM You, that part of you who IS and KNOWS;

WHO KNOWS ALL THINGS,

And always knew, and always was. . . .

That transcendent, innermost part of you. (Benner 21-22)

You and I are One. . . .

You must feel Me within, before you can know I AM there. (Benner 30)

KNOW I AM in you. KNOW I AM You. KNOW I AM your LIFE. KNOW All Wisdom, All Love, All Power abides in this Life, which is flowing freely through your entire being NOW. . . .

KNOW that all I have is yours, that My Omnipotent LIFE is flowing through you, that you can take of IT and build with IT what you WILL. (Benner 240-242)ILchanneled • New Thought • Benner

It is not your consciousness, it is the divine Consciousness which you are. (Goldsmith 45)

You have never had a beginning. You cannot coexist with God and have a beginning or an ending. (Goldsmith 142)BWTwisdom • modern • Goldsmith

I am never not with you. You are simply not always aware. . . .

Because your life gets caught up in other things. . . .

It’s an irony of life that when you need our connection the most, you step away from it. (Walsch 8-9)

It is the central teaching, it is the ultimate truth.

I am with you always. . . .

I am the wind which rustles your hair. I am the sun which warms your body. I am the rain which dances on your face. I am the smell of flowers in the air. (Walsch 25-26)

We are always united, you and I. We cannot not be. (Walsch 243)CWG2channeled • modern • Walsch

There is no time that you are ever alone. I am always with you, and you are always with Me. . . . If you think you are really alone, it could be devastating. . . . It violates your deepest sense of Who You Are. (Walsch 287-288)FWGchanneled • modern • Walsch

Regardless how shattered life is in terms of habit, experience, ill health and suffering, still the Ascendant NOTE: the Source lies inside each one of us and supports everyone of us. . . .

From any point in Creation, it is a very short step back to the omnipresent Source. (MSI 290-291)Ewisdom • modern, Hindu • Isham

God accompanies us in every state in which we are, but we do not accompany Him except through halting at His bounds. . . . He is with us, but we are not with Him. For He knows us, but we do not know Him. (Arabi 365)SPoKwisdom • Sufism • Arabi

Understand that all your physical and mental powers and your essential being depend on the divine elements within. You are simply a channel for the divine attributes. (de León 72)EKwisdom • Jewish • de León

What cannot be seen with the eye, but that whereby the eye can see: Know that alone to be Brahman NOTE: the Source. (unknown 51)KeUwisdom • Vedic • unknown

All That Is NOTE: the Source is alive with the least of itself, aware within for example the molecule. It endows all of its parts—or its creations—with its own abilities that then acts as inspiration, impetus, guiding lines and principles, by which these parts then seek to further create themselves, their own worlds and systems. This is freely given. (Roberts 301)SSchanneled • modern • Seth

The Supersoul NOTE: the Source is the original source of all senses, yet He is without senses. He is unattached, although He is the maintainer of all living beings. (Vyasa 213)BGwisdom • Hindusim • ancient

The intelligence that we are and the intelligence that the angels are, the intelligence in everything, is unique yet universal, for the God-principle exists in all life. (Maclean 86)THASchanneled • modern • Maclean

“We are the universe pretending to be individuals” — Deepak Chopra Qwisdom • various

Li (channeled): I come to you out of the heart of the One. I am in the gentle wind that caresses your hair, and in the howling monsoon. I live beneath the clear, calm surface of a still pond and in the tumbling waters of a laughing brook. I am the tired leaf that falls to the ground, and the iridescent wing that lifts the butterfly. I am in the brilliance of the smiling sun, and in the blessing of the great pearl moon. You can hear me in the song of the nightbird and the cry of a child. I am nothing, and I am everything.

But once I believed I was a girl, and so that is what I became, forgetting everything else. I grew very small, my spirit distilled into a single point within the soul of a child in a deep, green jungle, who knew nothing of the vastness of who she really was. (Fairchilde 103-104)VftAchanneled • modern • Fairchilde

There is a Hindu myth that human consciousness began as a ripple that decided to leave the ocean of “consciousness as such, timeless, spaceless, infinite and eternal.” Awakening to itself, it forgot that it was a part of this infinite ocean, and felt isolated and separated. (Talbot 300)HUscientific, researcher • modern • Talbot

Walsch: “If that’s true, ‘I’—the part of ‘me’ that is immortal—must be evolving in a billion different ways in a billion different forms at a billion different points on the Cosmic Wheel in the eternal moment of now.”

Right again. That’s exactly what I’m doing. . . .

The confusion here is that you still think there’s more than one of Us here. . . .

There was never more than one of Us here. Ever. . . .

We are all One. . . .

Consciousness is a marvelous thing. It can be divided into a thousand pieces. A million. A million times a million.

I have divided Myself into an infinite number of “pieces”—so that each “piece” of Me could look back on Itself and behold the wonder of Who and What I Am. (Walsch 138)CWG3channeled • modern • Walsch

Each person living or dead is somehow a unique materialization or actualization, psychologically “perfect,” of this basic loving condition or psychological, atmospheric presence NOTE: the light of consciousness. Each person is himself or herself, and an agent for the universe at the same time. The universe leans in each individual’s direction, gives, and is compliant, for each person is part of the psychological fabric, coming to life. . . .

There is everywhere communication between all of the parts at that level. Each figure changes the quality of the fabric, however, adding immeasurably to it through experience, for each life multiplies the actions possible to all of the others on this common level. (Roberts 163)AJoaAPchanneled • modern • James

That which we call our subjective mind is, in reality, our identity in Infinite Mind. (Holmes 87)SoMwisdom • New Thought • Holmes

The true unconscious NOTE: subconscious is not unconscious. Instead, it is so profoundly and unutteringly conscious that it bubbles over. The life that you know is simply one of the many areas in which it is conscious. In each facet of its consciousness, literally tremendous power and balance must be maintained to hold aloft this particular consciousness-experience from all others.

Your reality exists in a particular area of activity in which aggressive qualities, thrusting-outward characteristics, are supremely necessary to prevent a falling back into the infinite possibilities from which you have only lately emerged. Yet from this unconscious bed of possibilities you derive your strength, your creativity, and the fragile yet powerful kind of individual consciousness that is your own. (Roberts 191)SSchanneled • modern • Seth

Your mind is in reality an outer extension of your soul consciousness, slowed down to the mental capacity of your human brain, there serving as your agent in the informing you of all things going on in the physical world. . . .

In that partial and necessarily limited consciousness, your mind grew to think itself a self and separate from you in your soul consciousness. (Benner 54-55)

It must then be His Consciousness that is your consciousness, but stepped down through your Higher Self to your soul and then to your human mind. (Benner 52)WOchanneled • New Thought • Benner

No manifestation can occur, no multiplicity can become, no diversity can appear, unless there is limitation. (Besant 101)SLwisdom • Theosophy • Besant

The ego, or self, or soul, is illusory; it is the unenlightened, or spiritually unawakened, perceiver of phenomena, dependent for its illusory personal character upon its sense of separateness. (Evans-Wentz 16)TYSDwisdom • Tibetan • Dvagpo-Lharje

The spirits born from the Divine Spirit are often called “partial” or “particular” spirits, in which case the Divine Spirit may be called “the All Spirit.” . . . The partial spirits become differentiated when God blows something of the undifferentiated, Universal Spirit into the bodies. . . . That which “divides” the spirit is bodies. (Chittick 272)SDoGwisdom • Sufism • Arabi

[The inner self] NOTE: the reincarnating self gave psychological birth to itself through the body in space and time. It knew itself as a physical creature. That portion of the self is the portion you recognize as your usual conscious self, alive within the scheme of seasons, aware within the designs of time, caught transfixed in moments of brilliant awareness. (Roberts 199)DEVF1channeled • modern • Seth

Your mainly accepted normal consciousness is within the matter of your body. And through it—the body—you view your world. (Roberts 66)URchanneled • modern • Seth

You have been so interested in and affected by the pleasures and sufferings of your body and intellect, that you have almost come to believe You are your intellect and body. (Benner 29-30)ILchanneled • New Thought • Benner

John: “The soul is always in total illumination; it is the personality . . . that seems to dwell in confusion.” (Ryerson and Harolde 156)SCchanneled • modern • Ryerson & Harolde

The conscious self generally focuses in but one small dimension. Period. That dimension is experienced as fully as possible, its clear brilliance and exquisite focus possible only because you tune in to it and bring it to the forefront of your attention. (Roberts 369)UR2channeled • modern • Seth

The conscious mind sees with a spectacular but limited scope. It lacks all peripheral vision. . . . You allow it to accept as evidence only those physical data available for the five senses—while the five senses, of course, represent only a relatively flat view of reality, that deals with the most apparent surface. (Roberts 155-156)DEVF1channeled • modern • Seth

The ego’s NOTE: physically-oriented self’s responsibility is with the relationship between the self and the physical environment. It must necessarily focus within the confines of physical reality. (Roberts 207)SD&Pchanneled • modern • Seth

Your conscious mind tells you where you are in time and space, and directs your activity in a world of human action. . . . Because you have a conscious mind, then, other portions of your being rely upon it to give them an adequate picture of your situation, and to give the conscious orders for action. (Roberts 120)URchanneled • modern • Seth

The human ego is conditioned mind. (Ryerson and Harolde 69)SCchanneled • modern • Ryerson & Harolde

Your awareness becomes conditioned, or trained, into various attitudes, assumptions, beliefs, and reactions. . . .

The effect of conditioning is always the same: choice becomes restricted. . . .

Any time choice seems to be cut off, some form of illusion is operating. (Chopra 51-53)ABTMresearcher • modern • Chopra

I AM the unconditioned reality NOTE: the Source conditioned as that which I believe myself to be. I AM the believer limited by my beliefs. (Goddard 119)Rmystic • New Thought • Goddard

Through limiting belief and experience, consciousness identifies with boundaries; this obscures the experience of consciousness by itself. (MSI 243)Ewisdom • modern, Hindu • Isham

God gave you free choice, to do with life as you will.

In this sense, your will for you is God’s will for you. . . .

I do not care what you do. . . .

The ultimate outcome is assured. (Walsch 14)CWG1channeled • modern • Walsch

I do not make a judgement about the creations that you conjure, I simply empower you to conjure more. (Walsch 117-118)CWG1channeled • modern • Walsch

When I want for you what you want for you, then I truly love you. . . .

Love chooses naught for itself, but only seeks to make possible the choices of the beloved other. . . .

My highest choice for Me is the same as your highest choice for you. And that is because you and I are one. . . .

What is best for Me is giving you what you decide is best for you. Because what I am trying to be is My Self, expressed. And I am being this through you. (Walsch 8-10)CWG3channeled • modern • Walsch

As a [NDEer] puts it, “One thing I learned was that we are all part of one big, living universe. If we think we can hurt another person or another living thing without hurting ourselves, we are sadly mistaken.” (Talbot 254-255)

Although human beings appear to be separate from one another, we are all connected in a cosmic unity. . . . Every person, indeed the entire physical universe, is a microcosm of the greater divine reality. (Talbot 259)

According to Sri Aurobindo . . . all separateness is an illusion, and all things are ultimately interconnected and whole. . . . It was only as one descended from the higher vibrational levels of reality to the lower that a “progressive law of fragmentation” took over. We fragment things because we exist at a lower vibration of consciousness and reality, says Sri Aurobindo, and it is our propensity for fragmentation that keeps us from experiencing the intensity of consciousness, joy, love, and delight for existence that are the norm in these higher and more subtle realms. (Talbot 264-265)HUscientific, researcher • modern • Talbot

You are, using an analogy again, sent out by a superself NOTE: reincarnating self who strongly desired existence in physical form. You are no puppet of this superself. You will follow your own lines of development, and . . . add to the experience of the superself and also then extend the nature of its reality. You also insure your own development, and you are able to draw upon the abilities of the superself.

Nor will you ever be swallowed by the self that seems so superior. Because you exist, you send out like projections of your own. . . . There is no end to the reality of consciousness, nor the means of its materialization, nor is there any end to the development possible for each identity. . . .

Your present personality as you think of it is indeed “indelible,” and continues after death to grow and develop. . . .

That energy . . . is projected from your “superself,” that spark of intense identity that resulted in your physical birth. . . .

While you continue to exist and develop as an individual, your whole self, or soul NOTE: reincarnating self, has such vast potential, that it can never be expressed fully through one personality. (Roberts 88-89)

Initially Ruburt NOTE: Seth refers to Jane as ‘Ruburt’ and uses male pronouns and Joseph and I were a part of the same entity NOTE: reincarnating self, or overall identity, and so symbolically speaking, there are psychic currents that unite us. All of these merge into what has often been compared to an ocean of consciousness, a well from which all actuality springs. Start with any one consciousness, and theoretically you will find all others.

Now often the ego NOTE: the physically-focused self acts as a dam, to hold back other perceptions. (Roberts 94-95)SSchanneled • modern • Seth

There are, again, other groupings of consciousness, alliances in which identities group together psychologically, as people do on earth, physically, in nations. These consciousnesses retain individuality while joining together in joint purposes, pooling separate viewpoints into psychic composites that I do not pretend to understand. (Roberts 164)AJoaAPchanneled • modern • James

[The soul] cannot be broken down or built up, destroyed or expanded, yet it can change affiliation and organization, and its characteristics, while ever remaining itself. (Roberts 531)UR2channeled • modern • Seth

If we need a metaphor of what happens when individual spirits unite with the universal spirit, we must not imagine different circles that coincide and become one, but many overlapping circles, each with a distinct shade of color. Although the circles overlap, each individual shade maintains its identity within the whole, and no circle loses any of the fullness of its individual strength. (Steiner 195)Tclairvoyant • Theosophy • Steiner

Seth: “All consciousness is interrelated. It flows together in currents, rises and falls, eddies and breaks, mixes and merges. In this great interplay, however, each identity, however brief in usual terms, is never annihilated. It is indeed inviolate. On the other hand, it can also form affiliations with other identities.” (Roberts 7)

Seth: “Each identity is itself and no other; and yet it is composed of myriad fragments of other identities.” (Roberts 10)

Seth: “There are no boundaries or limitations to the self, except those you accept. . . .”

“The self or identity quite literally closes its boundaries to any forces that do not follow its own purposes and intents. . . .

“This integrity allows the identity always to maintain its own pattern or mark, permitting within its peripheries only those affiliations that serve its unique purposes.” (Roberts 7, 10)

You have nonphysical patterns of consciousness merging to some extent. Clouds blowing through clouds fits the situation. . . .

The universe is crisscrossed with such “currents” of consciousness; intertwining, mixing, yet each independent, going its own way. (Roberts 148-149)AJoaAPchanneled • modern • James

Seth: “In conventional terms, Ruburt was not William James—but through Ruburt, certain challenges and purposes left unsatisfied by James have been picked up by Ruburt; and to that extent a portion of William James’s consciousness is merged with Ruburt’s. . . . NOTE: This is seen from the perspective of a psychological organization without regard to time or space.

“James, to some extent, now, sees his unanswered questions sifted through another unique consciousness, so that they are given a different slant. . . . NOTE: The question is answered through the unique experiences of a different consciousness.

“Ruburt is then given James’s knowledge concerning those questions, as source material, providing references he himself would not ordinarily possess.” (Roberts 7-8)AJoaAPchanneled • modern • James

The one thing that All That Is NOTE: the Source knew is that there was nothing else. And so it could . . . never know itself from a reference point outside itself. . . .

This energy—this pure, unseen, unheard, unobserved, and therefore unknown-by-anyone-else energy—chose to experience Itself. . . .

If It simply divided itself into portions, each portion, being less than the whole, could look back on the rest of Itself and see magnificence.

And so All That Is divided Itself. . . .

In the moment of this great explosion from within, God created relativity. . . .

From the No-Thing thus sprang the Everything. . . .

These energy units you would call spirits. . . .

There is only one way for the creator to know itself experientially as the Creator, and that is to create. And so I gave each of the countless parts of Me the same power to create which I have as a whole. . . .

Our essence is the same.

You as pure spirit would enter the physical universe just created. . . .

You caused yourself to forget Who You Really Are.

Upon entering the physical universe, you relinquished your remembrance of yourself. . . .

That is why the act of rejoining the whole, of returning to God, is called remembrance. (Walsch 23-28)

[The realm of the relative] is a created reality you and I have devised and continue to devise—in order that we may know ourselves experientially. (Walsch 56)CWG1channeled • modern • Walsch

For love to exist—and to know itself as pure love—its exact opposite had to exist as well. . . . In the moment fear existed, love could exist as a thing that could be experienced. (Walsch 24)CWG1channeled • modern • Walsch

Subject: We shall speak to you now of unconditional love. We would say that in order to experience this concept one would necessarily be required to experience a lack of this same energy. . . . In the grand design, one finds oneself returned out of the darkness and lack of love and understanding. And thence into the light again on this side and surrounded with those who provide this unconditional love. Then one can easily remember the lack of it and relate in a most harmonious way to an abundance of it. (Cannon 235)BDLhypnosis • modern • Cannon

You have . . . a Creator that can know itself as a mouse in a field, or as the field, or as the continent upon which the field rests, or as the planet that holds the continent, or as the universe that holds the world. (Roberts 172)DEVF1channeled • modern • Seth

Man thinks as naturally as the birds fly. He looks at physical reality for the rest of physical reality: He is earth coming alive to view itself through conscious eyes. (Roberts 223)DEVF1channeled • modern • Seth

Everything I experience, I experience through you. (Walsch 197)CWG1channeled • modern • Walsch

All That Is NOTE: the Source, as the source of all realities and experience, is so psychologically complex, so multidimensionally creative, that it constantly surprises itself. . . . Your thoughts are the invisible partners of your words, and the vast unstated subjectivity of All That Is is in the same way behind all stated or manifest phenomena.

You are Me, expressing in your present form. Yet don’t worry about limiting Me. . . . For I am not limited, and never have been. Do you think that you are the only form that I have chosen? . . .

What I am seeking is to know Myself experientially. I am doing this through you, and through everything else that exists. And I am experiencing My Self . . . through the choices I make. . . . Each choice represents Me . . . as Who I Choose to Be Right Now. . . .

I am God, in the act of creating My Self.

And so, too, are you. (Walsch 11)CWG3channeled • modern • Walsch
