More Notes
Essence is an eternal object. Being is life, it is a process. Work on oneself means work on being. Work on being and work knowledge increase understanding. Understanding belongs to essence.
Your being attracts your life. Results of efforts are always proportional to understanding.
Imagination is not an escape from reality , reality is an escape from imagination.
What one is identified with is at that moment ones God .
If your beliefs are not large enough to encompass their own opposites , then they are incomplete.
The fact that we know almost nothing about nearly everything is a lesson we usually need to relearn everyday.

Notes
When the past is dictating the future, where is the present?
David Dickinson
Nearly everything we think we know is based on what we think we know.
David Dickinson
The Void
The intellectual void --- You need to learn , Anything.
The physical void ------ You need to do something, Anything.
The emotional void ---- You need to hold someone , Anyone
The spiritual void ---- You need to talk to God, Any God.
These are shadows of the real void that you are missing. When you become one with God, ther are no voids.

Comfort Kills
Every thing is either growing or dying. Growing is hard and requires effort; dying is done by the laws of nature, and nature is making the effort, therefore it is easy and comfortable.
This can be seen in something as simple as a tree. Growing is a constant effort: first to break out of it's seed, second, to break out of the ground, third, to defy gravity and to stand against wind and weather. It is not easy. Conditions for each phase have to be favorable. Even the seasons have an effect bon its progress, hence the rings in the wood.
If the tree stops making effort, it will die. the lack of effort is a comfortable feeling, a sleep, non-existence. So, if one is comfortable, chances are, one is dying.
David Dickinson
Nothing Known to man, including man himself can remain stagnet, all things are either growing or dying.

Change is not nessesarilly growth, death is also a change, so do not be deluted by change itself.
