Love Is The Movement Within Life That Carries Us, That Enables Us, That Causes Us To Break Out Of What Alan Watts Calls The “skin-encapsulated Ego.” Without Love, We Are Self-centered, But Love Enables Us To Move The Center Of Our Lives Outside Our Ego. Therefore It Expands Our Lives And, Needless To Say, Enriches It. Any Human Being Would Give Anything To Love Or Be Loved. When It Really Happens, It Is Like Heaven On Earth.

In India There Was A Sense Of Time That Does Not Tick With Modern Clocks, Just As There Is A Knowledge That Is Not Gained Through Science And Empirical Experiments. In The Modern West Knowledge Is Of Objective, Finite Particulars In Historical Time. India Recognizes That Kind Of Useful Information: It Calls It "lower Knowledge." Higher Knowledge (paravidya) Proceeds Differently, Or Rather It Doesn't Proceed At All But Enters History Full-blown On The Morning Of A New Creation.

I Don't Want To Justify Religion In Terms Of Its Benefits To Us. I Believe That, On Balance, It Does A Lot Of Bad Things, Too - A Tremendous Amount. But I Don't Think That The Final Justification Of Religion Is The Good It Does For People. I Think The Final Justification Is That It's True, And Truth Takes Priority Over Consequences. Religion Helps Us Deal With What Is Most Important To The Human Spirit: Values, Meaning, Purpose, And Quality.

Distinct From White Noise, Sound Is Vibrations In Harmonic Proportions, And From The Billions Of Vibrations That Are Possible, The Universe Shows A Startling, Overwhelming Preference For The Few Thousand That Make Harmonic Sense.this Is Because The One, From Which All Things Issue, Is Beautiful.
