In the Greek way of dealing with alchemy, which was earth, air, fire and water, these were the objective qualities. Within the objective qualities - things of earth, air, fire and water - are our subjective experiences of hot, cold, dry, and moist. Fred Alan Wolf More Quotes by Fred Alan Wolf More Quotes From Fred Alan Wolf What I thought was unreal now, for me, seems in some ways to be more real than what I think to be real, which seems now to be unreal Fred Alan Wolf real science thinking Quantum physics really begins to point to this discovery. It says that you can't have a Universe without mind entering into it, and that the mind is actually shaping the very thing that is being perceived. Fred Alan Wolf entering mind discovery Asking yourself deeper questions opens up new ways of being in the world. It brings in a breath of fresh air. It makes life more joyful. The real trick to life is not to be in the know, but to be in the mystery. Fred Alan Wolf real asking air Learning to see love and to express that love is the purpose of living this life. What's real has love at its heart; the universe is constructed from love, and that love is very much tied to our power of attention and imagination. Fred Alan Wolf real spiritual heart Reality gets created through acts of observation Fred Alan Wolf observation reality I am not talking to you from the point of view of just wishful thinking, or imaginary craziness. I'm talking to you from a deeper basic understanding - quantum physics really begins to point to this discovery, it says that you can't have a universe without mind entering into it, the mind is actually shaping the very thing that is being perceived. Fred Alan Wolf law-of-attraction discovery thinking When you start to try to understand everything in terms of words, the understanding of the words becomes the experience, and the experience gets lost. Fred Alan Wolf understanding lost trying Consciousness is the creative element in the universe. Without it, nothing would appear. Fred Alan Wolf elements consciousness creative I read that Buddha was able to see all of his past lives, and I realized the only way any of these people could do that is by being outside of time. Fred Alan Wolf able people past The most common way people could do time-travel would be a form of meditation in which you don't get caught up in your thoughts and don't make patterns of logical consequences follow as a result of your thinking process. It's very hard for most of us to do that if we think about it. But if you start to watch the process by which things come into being, and you begin to witness from the point of view of watching the words form, then you're beginning to move into the non-temporal mindset, or that which is free of time. Fred Alan Wolf views moving thinking The quantum is that embarrassing little piece of thread that always hangs from the sweater of space-time. Pull it and the whole thing unravels. Fred Alan Wolf sweaters space science I believe, or sense, that the universe has not been constructed from a purely mechanical, logical, rational point of view, but there is a magic afoot in the universe, that God can be looked at as a kind of a magician in which we get to perform tricks ourselves, without knowing that we're doing so. Fred Alan Wolf knowing views believe The self is fundamentally an illusion arising as a reflection of the soul in matter, much as a clear lake at midnight reflects the moon. Fred Alan Wolf moon reflection self People who are creative often will spend hours doing something and come out of their period of creation and not even notice that hours have passed. In that sense, they're able to time travel. Fred Alan Wolf able creative people We need all three senses of time - a sense of the future, a sense of the present, and a sense of the past - at all times to understand or experience what's happening right now. It's constantly unfolding that way. Fred Alan Wolf three past needs In the new alchemy, we have a similar kind of way of thinking. Our internal space includes our intuitions, our thoughts, our senses and our feelings, and from these we construct or build a picture of the outside world. From intuition and thought, we construct time. We also construct space from thought and our sensations. From our senses and our feelings, we experience energy, and from our intuitions and our feelings, we experience motion. Fred Alan Wolf space feelings thinking To understand that, we have to begin to imagine what a universe would be like if there wasn't anything in it called Mind. If that was the case, according to quantum physics now, then every possibility would also come into existence as every other possibility. Fred Alan Wolf physics would-be mind The place where...knowledge occurs is the present. That which recognizes the present is mind. Fred Alan Wolf mind What is the relationship of the obvious things that we see around us to the things that we believe we understand within ourselves? This is the ancient alchemical formula: "as above, so below, as within, so without." Fred Alan Wolf obvious-things ancient believe In very subtle ways, how we regard ourselves and others continually changes us into something new. Fred Alan Wolf subtle something-new way
