between things, between thoughts, with the environment.

The higher knowledge is the knowledge of the Everlasting; ‘Of that which has neither tangibility, nor antecedent, colour, eyes, ears, hands, feet; of that which is prevalent everywhere, immeasurably minute, selfevident, indestructible, always alive; of that which the wise name the Source.

And may you know his love, even though it can’t be known completely. Then you will be filled with everything God has for you.

`Ephesians 3:19

Supreme Mind finds itself related to all its works and will travel a royal road to particular knowledges and powers. In ascending to this primary and aboriginal sentiment we have come from our remote station on the circumference instantaneously to the center of the world, where, as in the closet of God, we seecauses, and anticipate the universe, which is but a slow effect.

The child’s intelligence is still today something in which we have to believe: we have to believe that the child is a bearer and constructor of his own intelligence. If we are ready to accept this, then we will modify many of our relations with [him], many of our languages, and school will also in some way adapt to a child who is a constant provider of tests, requests and intelligent research. I would also say that this work and this passion for searching, in some way clearly mobilises everything: the whole person, the whole child.

‘Adonai, in whose presence I live, will send his angel with you to make your trip successful.

Bereshit/Genesis 24:40

Then I would distinguish between religion and faith. If by religion you mean a set of beliefs, dogmas, or institutions — the church, e.g. — then I would say that religion as such can be deconstructed, and not only can be but should be deconstructed, sometimes in the name of faith. For me, as for you, Kierkegaard is here a great example of some paradoxical way of contesting religious discourse in the name of a faith that cannot be simply mastered or domesticated or taught or logically understood, a faith that is paradoxical.

Derrida

There is no goal to be reached. There is nothing to be attained. God Is.. God exists always. Nothing more can be predicated on God than that iHe exists. Seeing God is being yourself. Seeing is being. how to attain God.

Sri Ramana Maharshi

the play was of a self-healing kind. In
each case the result was comparable with a psychotherapeutic
session in which the story would have been punctuated by
interpretations from the therapist. A psychotherapist might perhaps
have refrained from actively playing with Diana, as when I
said I heard the teddy say something, and when I said what I said
about Diana’s children’s dreams being played out on the floor.
But this self-imposed discipline might have eliminated some of
the creative aspect of Diana’s play experience.

In the play Diana decided that these two creatures were her
children. She put them up under her clothes, making herself
pregnant with them. After a period of pregnancy she
announced they were going to be born, but they were ‘not
going to be twins’. She made it very evident that the lamb was
to be born first and then the teddy bear. After the birth was
complete she put her two newly born children together on a
bed which she improvised on the floor, and she covered them
up

From the Father comes the son, and common to both is the living activity of the Holy Ghost … As he is the third term common to Father and Son, he puts an end to the duality, to the ‘doubt’ in the Son.

It is
evident that if the child meets with obstacles, his creative
work becomes less perfect. We do not any longer help
the child because he is a small and weak being. No ! We
have realised that the child is endowed with great creative
powers, that these great powers are delicate in their
nature and can be thwarted if obstacles are placed in
their path. It is these powers we wish to help, not the
small child, not his weakness.

Montessori

In the beginning Elohim created hashomayim (the heavens, Himel) and haaretz (the earth).

2 And the earth was tohu vavohu (without form, and void); and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Ruach Elohim was hovering upon the face of the waters.

Bereshit/Genesis 1:1-2

The first help might be the readying of this readiness. It is not through man that the world can be what it is and how it is — but also not without man. In my view, this goes together with the fact that what I call “Being” (that long traditional, highly ambiguous, now worn-out word) has need of man in order that its revelation, its appearance as truth, and its [various] forms may come to pass.

Heidegger

To attain a height and bird’s eye view, so one grasps how
everything actually happens as it ought to happen; how every
kind of “imperfection” and the suffering to which it gives rise
are part of the highest desirability.

Nietzsche

It was the explosion into writing that first caught
the attention of the public to the child’s psychic life. It
is not an explosion of writing only, the writing was like
the smoke out of a pipe, the real explosion was of the
human self in the child. He might be compared to a
mountain which seems to be solid and eternally the same r
but contains a hidden fire. One day there is an explosion
and out comes the fire through the outer heaviness. It
is an explosion of fire, smoke and unknown substances,
from which those who can see, will be able to tell us
what the earth contained.

This visitation of Yahweh is so radically surprising and over-taking that he who receives does not even receive it himself, in his name.

Derrida

There is such a thing as hearing without searching; as taking without inquiring as to who might be giving; and thought flashes forth like lightning, imposed as a necessity, under a definitive form.

Nietzsche

This is indeed hospitality par excellence in which the visitor radically overwhelms the self of the ‘visited’ and the chez-soi of the host. For as you know these visitations and announcements will begin with changes of names, heteronomous changes, unilaterally decided by God …

Derrida

 He receives without being ready to welcome since he is no longer the same between the moment at which God initiates the visit and the moment at which, visiting to him, he speaks to him.

Derrida

In human beings, with their astonishing narrative gift, one of the principal forms of peacekeeping is the human gift for presenting, dramatizing, and explicating the mitigating circumstances surrounding conflict-threatening breaches in the ordinariness of life.

Bruner

Ultimately, it’s the Sattva that is born, the same plants and the rest, all Sattva, consciousness is born. Womb means hidden, ‘Hiranya garbha’ (the golden womb) means hidden like fire in the womb of the towel. The towel is earth, the food sheath is golden womb) means hidden like fire in the womb of the towel. The towel is earth, the food sheath is vital and so is the breath.

Sri Nisargadatta Maharata

Fortunately, some are born with spiritual immune systems that sooner or later give rejection to the illusory worldview grafted upon them from birth through social conditioning. They begin sensing that something is amiss, and start looking for answers. Inner knowledge and anomalous outer experiences show them a side of reality others are oblivious to, and so begins their journey of awakening. Each step of the journey is made by following the heart instead of following the crowd and by choosing knowledge over the veils of ignorance.
Bergson

¹¹ Let the heavens rejoice; let the earth be glad;

One important way of characterizing a culture is by the narrative models it makes available for describing the course of a life.

We cannot hold a meeting of children of
three years in order to make them understand political
idealism or to make them warriors. In order to influence
them, you must do so by means of the environment, be-
cause the child absorbs the environment, he takes every-

He can do everything. He is really omnipotent, where-

For Adonai is good, his grace continues forever,

Tehillim/Psalms 100:5

The supreme meaning is not a meaning and not an absurdity, it is image and force in one, magnificence and force together. The supreme meaning is the beginning and the end. It is the bridge of going across and fulfillment. The supreme meaning never dies, it turns into meaning and then into absurdity, and out of the fire and blood of their collision the supreme meaning rises up rejuvenated anew.

Jung

Both children and adults need to feel active and
important — to be rewarded by their own efforts,
their own intelligences, their own activity and
energy. When a child feels these things are valued,
they become a fountain of strength for him. He feels
the joy of working with adults who value his work
and this is one of the bases for learning.

Malaguzzi

Don’t say: ‘everybody is conscious’. Say: ‘there is consciousness’, in which everything appears and disappears. Our minds are just waves on the ocean of consciousness. As waves they come and go. As ocean they are infinite and eternal. Know God as the ocean of Being, the womb of all existence. These are all metaphors of course; the reality is beyond description.

Mathew 22:37-40

All division is in the mind (chitta); there is none in reality (chit). Movement and rest are states of mind and cannot be without their opposites. By itself nothing moves, nothing rests. It is a grievous mistake to attribute to mental constructs absolute existence. Nothing exists by itself.

o today the child begins to be visualized as it should
be, as the connection, the joining link between different
phases of history and different levels of civilization.
Childhood is now considered by psychologists as a very
important period because they realize that if we wish to
give new ideas to the people, if we wish to alter the habits
and customs of the country, or if we wish to accentuate
more vigorously the characteristics belonging to a people,
we must take as our instrument the child, as very little
can be done by acting upon adults. If one has really
a vision of better conditions, of greater enlightenment
for people, it is only the child that one can look upon
in order to bring about the desired results

Montessori

Enter his gates with thanksgiving,

Tehillim/Psalms 100:4

A ghost is merely the “trace of the other”; for instance, the other who has died and that remains “other,” is at once inside and outside of us. The trace, or the ghost, is synonymous with the gap (even with respect to memory); gaps of others, the gap, the trace of the other who has died. At the same time, there are so few gaps in the afterlife. The gap of death, of memory, of separation, can always be crossed.

Derrida

The environment you construct around you and the
children also reflects this image you have about the
child. There’s a difference between the environment
that you are able to build based on a preconceived
image of the child and the environment that you can
build that is based on the child you see in front of you
— the relationship you build with the child, the
games you play. An environment that grows out of
your relationship with the child is unique and fluid.

Let the floods clap their hands;
let the mountains sing together for joy

Tehillim/Psalms 98:8

The description does not describe them to you, and tomorrow you arrive there and know them by inhabiting them.

Emerson

In Spirit, he attains heaven, conquers his mind ; becomes master of speech, sight, hearing, knowledge.
He becomes Spirit itself, which has for its body air, for its soul truth, for its rest life; there he is peaceful, merry, immortal.

Taittireeya-Upanishad

¹⁸ A strong wind was blowing and the waters grew rough. ¹⁹ When they had rowed about three or four miles,^[b] they saw Jesus approaching the boat, walking on the water; and they were frightened. ²⁰ But he said to them, “It is I; don’t be afraid.” ²¹ Then they were willing to take him into the boat, and immediately the boat reached the shore where they were heading.

John 6:18-21

The wind blows where it wants to, and you hear its sound, but you don’t know where it comes from or where it’s going. That’s how it is with everyone who has been born from the Spirit.

The wind blows wherever it pleases. You hear its sound, but you cannot tell where it comes from or where it is going. So it is with everyone born of the Spirit.

John 3:8

Let the children come to me, don’t stop them, for the Kingdom of God belongs to such as these.

Mark 10:14

your kingdom come,
your will be done,
    on earth as it is in heaven.

Mathew 6:9-10

¹⁵ The Son is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. ¹⁶ For in him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things have been created through him and for him. ¹⁷ He is before all things, and in him all things hold together.

Colossians 1:15-17

2021 (#46) שִׁירוּ לַיהוָה, שִׁיר חָדָשׁ; שִׁירוּ לַיהוָה, כָּל-הָאָרֶץ –Montessori , Genesis 3:20 , Jung , Psalms 12:7 , Derrida , John 3:8 , Mark 10:14 , Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj , Mathew 6:9-10 , Luke 12:35

 Something continues in the sub-conscious,
because what has been formed by the child can never
be totally destroyed. This Mneme, which may be con-
sidered as a superior natural memory, not only creates
characteristics, but holds them alive in the individual.
The individual changes, it is true, but those things which
are formed by the child remain in the personality just
as the legs remain, so that each man has this special
character.

Montessori

20 The man called his wife Havah [life], because she was the mother of all living.

Bereshit/Genesis 3:20

When something long since passed away comes back again in a changed world, it is new. To give birth to the ancient in a new time
is creation. This is the creation of the new, and that redeems me.Salvation is the resolution of the task. The task is to give birth to the old in a new time

Jung

To stimulate life,–leaving it then free to develop, to unfold,–herein lies the first task of the educator —

The words of Adonai are pure words,
silver in a melting-pot set in the earth,
refined and purified seven times over.

Tehillim/Psalms 12:7

 Between the fragments of the broken Tables the poem grows and the right to speech takes root.

Derrida

The wind blows where it wants to, and you hear its sound, but you don’t know where it comes from or where it’s going. That’s how it is with everyone who has been born from the Spirit.

The wind blows wherever it pleases. You hear its sound, but you cannot tell where it comes from or where it is going. So it is with everyone born of the Spirit.

John 3:8

Let the children come to me, don’t stop them, for the Kingdom of God belongs to such as these.

Mark 10:14

To be aware is to be awake. Unaware means asleep. You are aware anyhow, you need not try to be. What you need is to be aware of being aware. Be aware deliberately and consciously, broaden and deepen the field of awareness.

Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj

your kingdom come,
your will be done,
    on earth as it is in heaven.

Mathew 6:9-10

Be dressed ready for service and keep your lamps burning,

Be dressed for service and keep your lamps burning,

Stay dressed for action and keep your lamps burning,

Be dressed in readiness, and keep your lamps lit.

Let your loins be girded about, and your lights burning;

Be ready for service and have your lamps lit.

You must keep your belts fastened and your lamps burning.

Be ready for action, and have your lamps burning.

Luke 12:35
