"When the social body comes together as a whole, it is Spirit that binds the parts, the same Spirit that synthesized the metals and minerals in our Earth, that organizes the cells in our bodies into stupendous communities of trillions of cells." Barbara Marx Hubbard, 'Discovery of a New Ordering of the Future'

1	test quote Dialogue - A Proposal (David Bohm)

2	"To create meaning in our lives, we have to go back to basics….It's morality. It's doing the right thing. It's choosing the right way to be for the good of the whole." Terry Lynn Taylor Angels: The Mysterious Messengers (Rex Hauck, editor)

3	"We are inclined to be dismayed and afraid of what is going on around us today….But we feel that if the present is properly understood,…there is much ground for hope. It will depend on how intelligently we, as human minds, using all the functions of thought, feeling and the impulse to act, learn to cooperate with the universal Mind out of which we and the whole creation are made. We have the means to do this; we have the guide lines to start us off. If we can see them and make use of them as we should, the future is secure. The choice is ours." The Transforming Mind (Laurence and Phoebe Bendit)

4	"Fear can keep us from innovating, risking, creating. Yet we settle for only the illusion of safety. We prolong our discomfort, and we are troubled in our sleep. On one level we know that we are in danger, avoiding change in a changing world. The only strategies imaginative enough to rescue us will come from listening to our "other" consciousness ... " The Aquarian Conspiracy (Marilyn Ferguson)

5	Joyousness that is weighed is not at peace. After ridding himself of mistakes a man has joy. Often a man finds himself weighing the choice between various kinds of pleasures, and so long as he has not decided which kind he will choose, the higher or the lower, he has no inner peace. Only when he clearly recognizes that passion brings suffering, can he make up his mind to turn away from the lower pleasures and to strive for the higher. Once this decision is sealed, he finds true joy and peace, and inner conflict is overcome. -- Chapter 58 Line 4 I Ching or The Book of Changes (Richard Wilhelm, translator)

6	"Optimism is a choice. A future can be built on optimism but not on its opposite." The Mystic Hours, A Daybook of Interspiritual Wisdom & Devotion (Wayne Teasdale)

7	" ... if consciousnes is not a set of values or opinions, but a total understanding of reality, then there can be no return, for the experience is now part of the individual. Once an individual has experienced good relationships with others, relationships with openness, honesty, sharing and love,he will no longer be able to accept or tolerate relationships where nothing is happening. Once a person has experienced a true sense of wonder in nature, a participation in the sea or mountains, he will not go back to travel agent tours or mechanized camping. The new reality is just too much better." Greening of America (Charles Reich)

8	"Your decisions come from your beliefs as certainly as all creation rose in His Mind because of what He knows." The Religion Book, The Encyclopedia of Places, Prophets, Saints, and Seers (Jim Willis)

10	"In the end, love and fear are the only feelings there are. Life brings you a constant stream of opportunities to choose between the two." What God Wants (Neale Donald Walsch)

11	" ... the crucial question is, how can I eliminate action rooted in desire and cultivate action done without desire? The classical Hindu answer is simply to do what is expected of me according to my dharma, my place and role in the eternal order of things. If my karma has caused me to be born as a warrior, I should go about my duty of protecting people, not out of desire or hope for reward, but simply because it's my dharma. If I'm a woman, I should be a good woman; if a slave, I should simply serve others without desiring to be something else. The whole system worked out in the Law-code of Manu ... provides guidance for the path of action: caste, sex, and stage of life make up the essential elements of my dharma, and by performing that role properly, without desiring some reward, I move forward on the path of transformation." The Sacred Paths - Second Edition (Theodore M. Ludwig)

12	"When you suffer in mind or body, the road forks. You can go the route of feeling sorry for yourself, dwelling on your pain and the unfairness of a life which dealt you that card…or you can determine to let this experience open you to learning more about human life in all its dimensions." Finding Deep Joy (Robert Ellwood)

13	"Polarity is a play of opposites which forces man to make a choice in his acting, handling and attitude. He may emphasize either the negative aspect and know pain or the positive and live above pain." The Flowering Tree (Gladys V. Jones)

14	"Yes, today it is your choices – the choices that you make, beloved – that will determine the course of this civilization." Saint Germain's Prophecy for the New Millennium (Elizabeth Clare Prophet)

15	"You have to CHOOSE to make the best of a difficult situation and to trust that a reason beyond your understanding is always at work." Invisible Acts of Power: Personal Choices That Create Miracles (Caroline Myss)

16	"As each person moves through each day, he must realize he is choosing not only his course but also the course of his planet." Agartha: The Essential Guide to Personal Transformation in the New Era (Meredith L. Young)

18	"Managing our power of choice is the Divine challenge, the sacred contract that we are here to fulfill. It begins with choosing what our thoughts and attitudes will be." Anatomy of the Spirit: The Seven Stages of Power and Healing (Caroline Myss)

19	"Consciousness corresponds exactly to the living being's power of choice; it is coextensive with the fringe of possible action that surrounds the real action; consciousness is synonymous with invention and with freedom." Henri Bergson (1859-1941), professor at College de France A Treasury of Philosophy, Vol. 1 (Dagobert D. Runes, editor)

20	"We are drenched in awareness, in experience, and have no choice but to go with it on some profound level." Grace and Grit: Spirituality and Healing in the Life and Death of Treya Killam Wilber (Ken Wilber)
