Brilliant guthrio,I think that statement will also change my life.(For the better).

Hi Hazada guess,

I wish I had thought of it, but I've found it to be the most profound truth I've ever encountered.

For me, it describes WHY the things we think are impossible, at first, (miracles, scientific discoveries, etc.)...

...are actually the NORMAL functioning of such phenomena, perfectly explainable when seen, and understood, in their true light....

..., which occurs AFTER we've removed the incorrect perceptions (beliefs, superstitions, lies, propaganda, dogma, etc.) BLOCKING our understanding and belated acceptance of the perfection that has ALWAYS awaited our "knowledge that it is already the established order of things". Think astronomy AFTER Copernicus, Kepler, and Galileo !

Metaphorically, the perfection they mathematically adduced in the movement of heavenly bodies, is no different than the perfection by which our own bodies function, and by which wise men and women perform who know themselves, as the Creator intended us all to know ourselves, that each, and all are animated by Perfection, Itself!!

I hope you take advantage of the opportunity to peruse the books by Baird Spalding in which he provided those life-changing words: Life and Teaching of the Masters of the Far East, in Volume 4, page 28/86, last sentence in paragraph 6). THESE BOOKS CHANGED MY LIFE, too!: http://www.spiritualforums.com/vb/sh...44&postcount=1

Enjoy the other references which helped me change my Life's perspective, still ongoing. As mentioned in Jonathan Livingston Seagull, I am yet "happy, hungry, learning".
