Fritjof Capra, foreword to The World Is Sound: Nada Brahma: Music and the Landscape of Consciousness

 

“It has been said since ancient times that the nature of reality is much closer to music than to a machine, and this is confirmed by many discoveries in modern science. The notes, in the intervals, frequencies, and rhythms. When a string is set vibrating we hear not only a single tone but also its overtones—an entire scale is sounded. Thus each note involves all the others, just as each subatomic particle involves all the others, according to current ideas in particle physics.”essence of a melody does not lie in its notes; it lies in the relationships between the notes

Never...

 

Rumi

 

You are both conscious and free to be conscious.

 

Anandmayi ma

Lao Tzu

 Difficult and easy support each other.

Long and short define each other.

High and low depend on each other.

Before and after follow each other.

Adyashanti

 "Stretch Yourself over me, that I may be placed among the imperishable stars which are in You, and that I may not die."

—Egyptian Book of the Dead

“When you wake up from your story, guess what you realize about everybody else? They are not their story. They are spirit, too. And that spirit is totally independent of their story and your story about them. So you not only lose your center, you lose their center, that box you would put them in. You see they are the same. This is why it is said that enlightenment is never a personal matter.

You can’t realize you are enlightened and still believe that others aren’t. You can’t see your true nature without seeing the true nature of everything. It is literally impossible. This is a tremendous act of compassion, an act of love.”

Ancient Egyptian Proverb

“Growth in consciousness doesn’t depend on the will of the intellect or its possibilities but on the intensity of the inner urge.”
