Music makes us Human and
preserves our humanity

it's hard to be religious when certain people

All music emerges from silence, to which sooner
or later it must return. At its sim­plest we may
con­ceive of music as the re­la­tion­ship between sounds and the silence that sur­rounds them.
Yet silence is an imag­in­ery state in which all sounds are absent, akin perhaps to the in­fin­i­ty of time and space that sur­rounds us. We cannot ever hear utter silence, nor can we fully imagine such concepts as in­fin­i­ty and eter­ni­ty. When we create music, we express life. But the source of music is silence, which is the ground of our musical being, the fun­da­men­tal note of life.
How we live depends on our rela­tion­ship with death; how we make music depends on our
re­la­tion­ship with silence.
(Paul Hillier)

**************************************
To love. To be loved. To never forget your own insignificance. To never get used to the unspeakable violence and the vulgar disparity of life around you. To seek joy in the saddest places. To pursue beauty to its lair. To never simplify what is complicated or complicate what is simple. To respect strength, never power. Above all, to watch. To try and understand. To never look away. And never, never, to forget.

(Arundhati Roy)

People lose their health to make money
Then lose their money to restore their health
By thinking anxiously about the future
They forget the present Such that they live
Neither for the present Nor the future
~
They live as if they will never die
They die as if they have never lived
Thus, Take each day as it comes
And live each moment to the fullest.
~
We change the world
not by what we say or do
but as a consequence
of what we have become

(David R. Hawkins)

One of my great failings is that I forget that most people are uninterested in truth. My second great failing is that I forget that history is taught as sacred lies. Taken together, these two items make for my third great failing: failing to see that sacred lies become holy truth in the minds of men who have a grasp of history not much better than the average high school sophomore.

(Gilad Atzmon)

"The psychological rule says that when an inner situation is not made conscious, it happens outside, as fate. That is, when the individual remains undivided and does not become conscious of his inner opposite, the world must perforce act out the conflict and be torn into opposing halves."
(C. G. Jung)
