„In an infinite fractal of rotation, how do you define the center? Every point is the center. You are the center of the universe observing the universe from your very own center. Wherever you pick a point of observation in the fractal, that point becomes the center from which you’re observing the universe. That point becomes stillness. Why stillness? Because in that point now, all the spins of the universe cancel out.… You need stillness to have a frame of reference for rotation… And that’s how singularity occurs. Singularity is the point at the center of your experience of the universe, that is the point of stillness from which you’re observing the universe.“

Blessed are those who do not fear solitude, who are not afraid of their own company, who are not always desperately looking for something to do, something to amuse themselves with, something to judge.

Paulo Coelho

„The practice of silence begins by observing one’s own noise level.“

„Monks and scholars,
just as you test gold by burning, cutting, and polishing it,
so too well examine my speech.
Do not accept it merely out of respect.“

– Buddha

„Einst haben die Menschen das Denken den Maschinen übertragen, in der Hoffnung, dass das sie befreien würde. Doch stattdessen ermöglichte es nur anderen Menschen mit Maschinen, sie zu versklaven.“
