"To build a clock or a car you take parts off the shelf and assemble them together. But in the case of self-organized and open systems the 'parts' are expressions of the entire system. A river isn't composed of smooth water and vortices glued together. Rather, the vortex, while remaining stable and identifiable, is an aspect of the entire river. Likewise, the volunteer groups in a community are expressions of the cohesion and meaning of that town or city."
From Certainty to Uncertainty, the Story of Science and Ideas in the Twentieth Century - F. David Peat

ENTERING THE CASTLE: AN INNER PATH TO GOD AND YOUR SOUL
Caroline Myss
Using St. Teresa of Avila's imagery of the Soul as an interior castle, the author guides us from room to room of this inner castle, preparing us for the ultimate encounter with God and our own divinity.

"The entire world is a divine scripture, unfolding like cosmic prayer."

"The world is not in the hands of greedy politicians or terrorists or corporate moguls or fundamentalists praying for Armageddon. The world is in the hands of God."

"Each of us is enriched by the presence of God everywhere, in every blade of grass, in every beam of light, in every prayer, and in every truth in every scripture."
