„II. 54: When consciousness interiorizes by uncoupling from external objects, the senses do likewise; this is called withdrawal of the senses.“

„I. 4: Otherwise, awareness takes itself to be the patterns of consciousness.“

„II. 20: Pure awareness is just seeing, itself; although pure, it usually appears to operate through the perceiving mind.“

“IV. 23: Then, consciousness can be colored by both pure awareness and the phenomenal world, thereby fulfilling all its purposes.

“IV. 34: Freedom is at hand when the fundamental qualities of nature, each of their transformations witnessed at the moment of its inception, are recognized as irrelevant to pure awareness; it stands alone, grounded in its very nature, the power of pure seeing. That is all.”

– Patanjali

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

„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.“

– Frank Herbert, Dune

„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.“
