Peter Russell quotes

We can go through our whole lives worrying about our future happiness, and totally miss where true peace lives-right here, right now. (Peter Russell)
We are living through the most exciting, challenging and most critical time in human history. Never before has so much been possible; and never before has so much been at stake. View quote
Peter Russell
One's whole being vibrates like strings brushed by an invisible wind. View quote
Peter Russell
If we want to find God, we have to look within, into the realm of deep mind-a realm that science has yet to explore. View quote
Peter Russell
As the proportion of people reaching higher states of consciousness increases, this inertia will decrease, and at the same time a supportive momentum in the new direction will start building up. View quote
Peter Russell
Science can explain what's happening down inside atoms and what's happening at the edge of the universe, but it cannot explain consciousness. It's a paradox--withou t consciousness there would be no science, but science doesn't know what to do, at all, with consciousness. View quote
Peter Russell
Memory is not like a container that gradually fills up, it is more like a tree growing hooks onto which memories are hung. Everything you remember is another set of hooks on which more new memories can be attached. So the capacity of memory keeps on growing. The more you know, the more you can know. View quote
Peter Russell
Information is recorded in vast interconnecting networks. Each idea or image has hundreds, perhaps thousands, of associations and is connected to numerous other points in the mental network. View quote
Peter Russell
Paradoxically one of the greatest advantages of mind maps is that they are seldom needed again. The very act of constructing a map is itself so effective in fixing ideas in memory that very often a whole map can recalled without going back to it at all. A mind map is so strongly visual and uses so many of the natural functions of memory that frequently it can be simply read off in the mind's eye. View quote
Peter Russell
Sometimes we may find that our partner continues to seek satisfaction in ways that we cannot live with. Nevertheless, when we decide to go our own way, we still have a choice as to how we separate. We can separate with bad feelings, blaming the other's faults and unacceptable behaviour, or we can separate with forgiveness, love and understanding. View quote
