"It is not good to make everyday decision based upon what we see and what other people are saying or thinking."

"Even if everybody is looking at the same light bulb, the unique composition of an individual will dictate how they interpret and see things. Some people will only see things with their left eye (mind/moon), while others will use only their right (heart/sun). Some people are completely void of light and repel it immediately. For instance, a beetle will chase after an opening of light, while a cockroach will scatter at a crack of it. How are we different than the insects? Nobody is purely good or purely evil. Most of us are in-between. There are moths that explore the day and butterflies that play at night. Polarity is an integral part of nature - human or not human."

"Who you are speaks so loudly I can't hear what you're saying."

"Changing your perception will alter your interpretations and therefore, your reality. If you feel like you're hitting a wall because you simply don't understand something, or another person has a different approach, keep your mind open and willing to reinterpret it with fresh eyes, more information, a change in position, or a new perspective."

"Finding beauty in the common is the sign of a gifted mind."

"We each project to others a reflection of the world which includes our choices of perception."

"An ant can't define shape of an elephant solely from its' point of view.They have to unify all views. It's a way for ant to understand elephant.In order to understand true realities, men need to do mental blending."

"Illusion is a false perception but delusion is a fixed false belief."

"Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, not the mirror."

"To see things (vastu) 'as it is' in its purest form, is called samkit (enlightened view; right belief), and to see it any other way is called mithyatva (wrong belief)."

"Today I start a diary; it is against my usual habbits, but out of a clearly felt need."

"It will always be the same possibilities, in sum or on the average, that go on repeating themselves until a man comes along who does not value the actuality above idea. It is he who first gives the new possibilities their meaning, their direction, and he awakens them."

"It is reality that awakens possibilities, and nothing would be more perverse than to deny it."
