Das Auge gibt dir Licht. Wenn deine Augen klar sehen, wirst du dich überall sicher bewegen können. Wenn du nun schlecht siehst, tappst du unsicher herum. Hast du aber Gott aus den Augen verloren, wie schrecklich wird dann deine Finsternis sein!

If therefore the light that is in you be darkness, how great is that darkness!
Matthew 6, 22-23 (NT)

Without a vision, the people perish. Proverbs 29, 18 (OT)

 

 

  • We are pushed by pain until we are pulled by vision. Michael Beckwith, conversed US American preacher

 

  • Having begun my own journey of unfolding into the best version of myself in the company of like-minded people, I continue to travel and publish extensively on how the wisdom ways of ancient and indigenous cultural traditions are the pivotal models for taking us through the transition into a new beholding self and cosmos: a deep gnosis of universal wholeness and a daily praxis of awakened or spiritual civility.
    I have called this fundamental shift into the next macrovision of reality, the Great Reconciliation because it fully builds upon four formative human wisdom visions, which still subtly inform our individual and collective lives through symbols, expressive arts and vestiges of tradition, but to which we are currently collectively oblivious. These range from
    1. the life-affirming world visions of the Stone Ages;
    2. to the gnosis visions of Hermetic Egypt and the European Renaissance – in parallel with the triumphs of Tantric Buddhism;
    3. to the Indigenous Vision underlying the life and thought of contemporary Native Peoples;
    4. to the Quantum Vision now fueling the recalibration of our deepest thoughts, as we stand on the brink of this great macroshift into
    5. a "Fifth Wisdom Vision of Sacred Wholeness and Awakened Civility.

  • Without leaps of imagination, or dreaming, we lose the excitement of possibilities. Dreaming, after all, is a form of planning. Gloria Steinem (*1934) journalist, leading US American feminist

 

  • The power of our vision and expectation flows out from us as a constant prayer. This power is stronger than anyone now knows, and we must master it and begin to use it before it is too late. James Redfield, The Secret of Shambhala

 

  • We physicians desperately need to restore our sense of the visionary, to fight to keep the spirit of medicine alive. And the future of that spirit lies in the integration of technological advances with intuition, the wedding of heart and mind. Dr. Judith Orloff, M.D., assistant professor psychiatry

 

  • Every specific political decision needs to be made within the context of whether it advances or impedes this urgent survival necessity. Rabby Michael Lerner, visionary thinker and author

 

  • The final barrier to the vision of God is your God concept. You miss God because you think you know. The highest knowledge of God is to know God as unknowable. All revelations, however divine, are never any more than a finger pointing at the moon. As we say in the East, 'When the sage points to the moon, all the idiot sees is the finger'. Anthony de Mello SJ (1931-1987) Indian Catholic Jesuit priest, psychotherapist, spiritual leader

 

  • The great synthesizer who alters the outlook of a generation, who suddenly produces a kaleidoscopic change in our vision of the world, is apt to be the most envied, feared, and hated man among his contemporaries. Almost by instinct they feel in him the seed of a new order; they sense, even as they anathematize him, the passing away of the sane, substantial world they have long inhabited. Such a man is a kind of lens or gathering point through which thought gathers, is reorganized, and radiates outward again in new forms. Loren Eiseley (1907-1977) anthropologist, science writer, ecologist, poet, 1973

 

  • We are explorers and the most compelling frontier of our time is human consciousness. Our quest is the integration of science and spirituality, a vision that reminds us of our connectedness to the inner self, to each other, and to the Earth. Edgar Mitchell, Sc.D., Apollo 14 astronaut

 

  • We will go to Mars in due course. I have no doubt about that. When we go to Mars and look back at this tiny little planet we call Earth it'll sounds kind of foolish to say, I came from the United States, Canada, France, Germany, Russia, Israel. No, I came from Earth. And we're not ready to do that yet. We don't have our act together yet. Edgar Mitchell Sc.D. (*1930) US American Apollo 14 astronaut, 6th man walking the moon, cited in TV interview Legends and Legacies, presented by TV station WPBF, host Lisa Hayward, YouTube film, minute 3:21, 4:14 minutes duration, aired 2006 or earlier, posted 10.

  • Those that are most asleep think they are most awake, being under the power of very vivid and fixed dream visions, so that those who are most ignorant think they know most.   Theodotus

 

  • Some men see things as they are and ask why. Others dream things that never were and ask why not. George Bernard Shaw

 

 

  • Vision is the art of seeing things invisible. Jonathon Swift (1607-1702)

 

  • Everyone has his own specific vocation or mission in life; everyone must carry out a concrete assignment that demands fulfillment. Therein he cannot be replaced, nor can his life be repeated, thus, everyone's task is unique as his specific opportunity to implement it. Viktor E. Frankl

 

  • Go confidently in the direction of your dreams. Live the life you have imagined. Henry David Thoreau

 

  • Then, what of the American dream? Is it a vision or an illusion? [...] To think well and truly about this question, we need to relate it to the deepest inner questions that mankind can ask. Jacob Needleman, US American professor for philosophy and religion, UCSF, Two Dreams of America

 

 

  • A culture dies when its dream becomes lost, when the march of history crushes its dream in the dust of time. Michael Meade, storyteller, mythologist, ritualist, author of The Water of Life. Initiation and The Tempering of the Soul

Don't give up your dream

I have a friend named Monty Roberts who owns a horse ranch in San Ysidro. He has let me use his house to put on fund-raising events to raise money for youth at risk programs.
The last time I was there he introduced me by saying,

"I want to tell you why I let Jack use my house. It all goes back to a story about a young man who was the son of an itinerant horse trainer who would go from stable to stable, race track to race track, farm to farm and ranch to ranch, training horses.
As a result, the boy’s high school career was continually interrupted. When he was a senior, he was asked to write a paper about what he wanted to be and do when he grew up.
That night he wrote a seven-page paper describing his goal of someday owning a horse ranch. He wrote about his dream in great detail and he even drew a diagram of a 200-acre ranch, showing the location of all the buildings, the stables and the track."

 

Then he drew a detailed floor plan for a 4,000-square foot house that would sit on a 200-acre dream ranch. He put a great deal of his heart into the project and the next day he handed it in to his teacher.
Two days later he received his paper back. On the front page was a large red F with a note that read,

‘See me after class.’

The boy with the dream went to see the teacher after class and asked,

"Why did I receive an F?"

The teacher said,

‘this is an unrealistic dream for a young boy like you. You have no money. You come from a traveling family. You have no resources. Owning a horse ranch requires a lot of money. You have to buy the land. You have to pay for the original breeding stock and later you’ll have to pay large stud fees. There’s no way you could ever do it.’

Then the teacher added,

'If you will rewrite this paper with a more realistic goal, I will reconsider your grade.'

 

The boy went home and thought about it long and hard. He asked his father what he should do. His father said,

'Look, son, you have to make up your own mind on this. However, I think it is a very important decision for you.’

 

Finally, after sitting with it for a week, the boy turned in the same paper, making no changes at all, he stated,

"You can keep the F and I’ll keep my dream."

 

Monty then turned to the assembled group and said,

"I tell you this story because you are sitting in my 4,000-square-foot house in the middle of my 200-acre horse ranch. I still have that school paper framed over the fireplace."

He added,

"The best part of the story is that two summers ago that same schoolteacher brought thirty kids to camp out on my ranch for a week."

When the teacher was leaving, he said,

"Look, Monty, I can tell you this now. When I was your teacher, I was something of a dream stealer. During those years I stole a lot of kids’ dreams. Fortunately you had enough gumption not to give up on yours."

 

Jack Canfield, author of Chicken Soup for the Soul ||

 

  • My goal is to leave the world a better place than I found it, for horses and for people, too. Monty Roberts
