Choices and Consequences

homer_brain “We choose and sculpt how our ever-changing minds will work. We choose who we will be the next moment, in a very real sense, and these choices are left embossed in physical form on our material selves.”

~ Michael Merzenich, Professor Emeritus, University of California at San Francisco; Chief Scientific Officer, Posit Science

“Sooner or later, everyone sits down to a banquet of consequences.”

~ Robert Louis Stevenson

"The art of letting thing happen, action through non-action, letting go of oneself, as taught by Meister Eckhart, became for me the key to opening the door to the way. We must be able to let things happen in the psyche. For us, this actually is an art of which few people know anything. Consciousness is forever interfering, helping, correcting, and negating and never leaving the simple growth of the psychic processes in peace."

~ Carl Gustav Jung
