You didn't come

You didn't come into this world. You came out of it, like a wave from the ocean. 

You are not a stranger here.

~Alan Watts

We are

“We are an old people,
we are a new people,
we are the same people stronger than before.”

~ Pagan Chant

The consciousness

"The consciousness in you and the consciousness in me, apparently two, really one, seek unity and that is Love."

--Sri Nisargadatta

It is when

"It is when we are trapped in incessant streams of compulsive thinking that the universe really disintegrates for us, and we lose the ability to sense the interconnectedness of all that exists."

~Eckhart Tolle

We are members

"We are members of a vast cosmic orchestra, in which each living instrument is essential to the complementary and harmonious playing of the whole."

~J. Allen Boone

We are all

We are all cells in the same body of humanity.

~Peace Pilgrim

He who experiences

He who experiences the unity of life sees his own Self in all beings, and all beings in his own Self, and looks on everything with an impartial eye.

~Buddha

The mountains

The mountains, I become a part of it... The morning mists, the clouds, the gathering waters, I become a part of it.

~Navajo Chant

Flowers and bees

Flowers and bees may be different, but the honey is the same.
Systems of faith may be different, but God is One.

~Rig Veda

You and I

You and I are all as much continuous with the physical universe as a wave is continuous with the ocean.

~Alan Watts

In lak 'ech

In lak 'ech -
I am another yourself or I am you, you are me!

~unknown

As a holistic being

"As a holistic being you shatter the illusion of your separateness and reveal your connection to everything. This empowers you in a way that the ego-driven self could never contemplate."

-- Wayne Dyer

Beliefs separate

"Beliefs separate. Loving thoughts unite."

-- Paul Ferrini

My brother used to ask

My brother used to ask the birds to forgive him; that sounds senseless but it is right; for all is like the ocean, all things flow and touch each other; a disturbance in one place is felt at the other end of the world. It may be folly to beg forgiveness of the birds, but the birds would be happier at your side - a little happier anyway - and children and all animals, if yourself were nobler than you are now. It's all like an ocean, I tell you. Then you would pray to the birds, too, consumed by all-embracing love in a sort of transport and pray that they will forgive you your sin. Prize this ecstasy, nowever senseless it may seem to men.

~Dostoyevski

There is

There is an Indian belief that everyone is in a house of four rooms: A physical, a mental, an emotional and a spiritual. Most of us tend to live in one room most of the time, but unless we go into every room everyday, even if only to keep it aired, we are not complete.

~Rumer Godden

As

As you are, so is the world.

~Ramana Maharishi

There is

There is no great; there is no small, in the mind that causeth all.

~The Hermetica

I've been thinking

I've been thinking about that old Zen conundrum: what's the sound of one hand clapping? My personal opinion--nothing. You don't have two hands, you don't have any clapping. It's as simple as that. Stars, galaxies, clapping hands, what's the point? The point is that we all need somebody, whether you're a supercluster or a little proton, a yin or a yang. Everybody is hooked into everybody else.

~Geoffrey Neighor, Northern Exposure, Duets, 1993

In

In the movement of each animal, all animals move.

~Tom Brown Jr

Within man

Within man is the soul of the whole; the wise silence; the universal beauty, to which every part and particle is equally related; the eternal ONE. And this deep power in which we exist and whose beatitude is all accessible to us, is not only self-sufficing and perfect in every hour, but the act of seeing and the thing seen, the seer and the spectacle, the subject and the object, are one.

~Ralph Waldo Emerson
