#emergence

Whatever’s missing is what you’re not giving. You are a divine power plant. And a power plant doesn’t receive energy, it generates it. It’s the same as saying you already have the kingdom of heaven within you. And when you activate the best in you, it generates an energy that must appear in your experience. ↗

Remember, it is done unto you as you believe. It’s not “I’ll believe it when I see it,” it’s “You’ll see it when you believe it.” You can’t make a demand on life that exceeds your belief about it — because you don’t experience life as it is, you experience life as you are. You literally experience the personification of your own perceptions. ↗

Hominid and human evolution took place over millions and not billions of years, but with the emergence of language there was a further acceleration of time and the rate of change. ↗

My ideas have undergone a process of emergence by emergency. When they are needed badly enough, they are accepted. ↗

One way to find food for thought is to use the fork in the road, the bifurcation that marks the place of emergence in which a new line of development begins to branch off. ↗

You may see the emergence of a new political party from the body of the trade union movement which represents a very clear-cut socialist alternative policy and which gives expression to the views of the trade union movement in parliament. ↗

We should be exploring consciousness at the neural level and higher, where the arrow of causal analysis points up toward such principles as emergence and self-organization. ↗

In order to benefit; however, you must believe that life is plotting for you. We often resist this emerging impulse or this urge to emerge because we are afraid of change, right? To the ego, change is equivalent to danger or death. But when we deny this evolutionary call, it causes an inner pressure that must find an outlet, sometimes in destructive ways. And this can break out as disease, financial collapse, or relationship meltdown. ↗

Matter would have the universe a uniform dispersion, motionless, complete. Spirit would have an earth, a heaven and a hell, whirl and conflict, an incandescent sun to drive away the dark, to illuminate good and evil, would have thought, memory, desire, would build a stairway of forms increasing in complexity, inclusiveness, to a heaven ever receding above, changing always in configuration, becoming when reached but the way to more distant heavens, the last . . . but there is no last, for spirit tends upward without end, wanders, spirals, dips, but tends ever upward, ruthlessly using lower forms to create higher forms, moving toward ever greater inwardness, consciousness, spontaneity, to an ever greater freedom. ↗
