2 "A form and its morphic field are different octaves in a resonant continuum. Periodic resonance is the law of life and it is this which is causative in all formal organization, regulation and development. Rhythmostasis is the sustaining power of formal organization and we may consider form of all types, including DNA as wave-guide antennas, receiving and transducing information from fields having a resonant affinity." Robert Lawlor, 'Pythagorean Number as Form, Color, and Light' Homage to Pythagoras, Rediscovering Sacred Science (Christopher Bamford, editor)

4 "At a deep level we are all united and interdependent." The Transforming Mind (Laurence and Phoebe Bendit)

5 "Kindness will eventually transform the entire existence of an individual, having reverberations in the community and the world. Let us allow ourselves to be refashioned by the effective and beautiful quality of kindness." The Mystic Hours, A Daybook of Interspiritual Wisdom & Devotion (Wayne Teasdale)

6 "If we can see and grasp even a little of the glory, we can to some extent reflect it to others." The Inner Life (Charles W. Leadbeater)

7 "One's actions, particularly deeds of lovingkindness, profoundly impact upon the universe. Minor actions can have significant consequences;…everything happening to us is connected with a complex weave of variables. Moreover, angelic forces are associated with our thoughts, words and deeds." God Is A Verb, Kabbalah and the Practice of Mystical Judaism (Rabbi David A. Cooper)

8 "Tiny differences in input could quickly become overwhelming differences in output….In weather, for example, this translates into what is only half-jokingly known as the Butterfly Effect – the notion that a butterfly stirring the air today in Peking can transform storm systems next month in New York." James Gleick (b. 1954), 'Chaos', prologue Bartlett's Familiar Quotations, 16th edition (John Bartlett)

9 "Healthy individuals make their culture more healthy. Improving individual health is one approach to making a better world." Toward A Psychology of Being (Abraham Maslow)

10 "It is very significant indeed that physics now sees the whole universe as a web of dynamic interrelationships. When we come to the human person, our lives are also a network of interrelationships." Bede Griffiths Spiritual Literacy, Reading the Sacred in Everyday Life (Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat)

11 "In the psyche nothing is lost; everyone we have known becomes a part of our inner world." Shadows of the Sacred: Seeing Through Spiritual Illusions (Frances Vaughan, Ph.D.)

13 "What happens if you strike a tuning fork and set it to vibrating and then move it near another of similar structure? It will set the second tuning fork to vibrating as well. A process analogous to this physical demonstration may also happen at the level of human minds. It may well be that the vibration of consciousness can have a resonant effect upon other minds, recreating a sympathetic vibration or state of awareness." Visions and Prophecies for a New Age (Mark A. Thurston, Ph.D.)

14 "We simply never know just how far a single act of loving consideration will travel, or the ripple effects it might have on those we have never met." Christian Meditation: Experiencing the Presence of God (James Finley)

15 "Symbolism adds a new value to an object or an act, without thereby violating its immediate or historical validity. Once it is brought to bear, it turns the object or action into an 'open' event: symbolic thought opens the door on to immediate reality for us, but without weakening or invalidating it; seen in this light the universe is no longer sealed off, nothing is isolated inside its own existence: everything is linked by a system of correspondences and assimilations." A Dictionary of Symbols (J. E. Cirlot)

16 "We are eternally related to the souls of all men." The Reappearance of the Christ (Alice A. Bailey)

17 "Who can say, when one cherishes a rose, how little or much the rose may cherish in return?" Seven Mysteries of Life, An Exploration in Science and Philosophy (Guy Murchie)

18 "A grub or worm working out its little life in a mass of decaying substance is as much a spiritual manifestation as an initiate working out his destiny in a mass of rapidly changing human forms. It is all manifested Deity; it is all divine expression and all a form of sensitive awareness and of response to environment." Esoteric Psychology I (Alice A. Bailey)

20 "The formulae of a science remain dead unless there is someone…to read them as tokens, not only of practical information, but also of life's mystery: our biological schedule of the evolution of all living things, for example, to be viewed (as the atom is now being viewed) as denoting some kind of dynamic web of inseparable energy patterns, in which all of us, whether knowingly or unknowingly, are included." Historical Atlas of World Mythology, vol. 1, The Way of the Animal Powers (Joseph Campbell)

21 "Whatever a person thinks and does acts upon the equilibrium of the universe." The Case for Reincarnation (Joe Fisher)

22 "Each individual is deeply interlocked with the collectivity in which he is born and in which he lives. The group affects him, he affects the group, in a two-way interchange." The Transforming Mind (Laurence and Phoebe Bendit)

23 "Every body feels everything that occurs in the entire universe, so that anyone who sees all could read in each particular thing that which happens everywhere else and, besides all that has happened and will happen, perceiving in the present that which is remote in time and space." Gottfried W. Leibnitz, co-inventor of calculus The Roots of Consciousness (Jeffrey Mishlove, Ph.D.)
