For if you love God as a god, a ghost, a person, or as if He were something with a form—you must get rid of all that. How then shall I love Him? Love Him as He is, a not-god, a not-ghost, apersonal, formless. Love Him as He is the One, pure, sheer, and clear, in whom there is no duality. For we are to sink eternally from negation to negation in the One. May God help us…. Amen.
—- Meister Eckhart

Our school is not a real school ; it is a house of children,
i.e., an environment specially prepared for the children
where the children absorb whatever culture is spread in
the environment without any one teaching them.
— Montessori
We need to think of the school as a living organism. Children have to feel that the world is inside the school and moves and thinks and works and reflects on everything that goes on.
—- Malaguzzi

Don’t say that you are an individual; just stay in the beingness. The whole problem is the sense of being a separate entity – once that subsides, that is true bliss. With the arising of the “I Am” the whole of manifestation takes place; in any activity that which witnesses is the “I Am,” that which is doing all this is maya, the tendencies, attributes..
—- Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
My teaching is not my own. It comes from the one who sent me.

As we know, Malaguzzi never saw the developing child as an ideally autonomous learner, but rather saw education as a necessarily communal activity and symphony of subjectivities involving children and adults. He saw long-term and meaningful relationships between and among children, teachers, and parents as the necessary precondition for the flowering of communication, co-action, and reciprocity.
—- Lella Gandini
“The man old in days will not hesitate to ask a small child seven days old about the place of life, and he will live. For many who are first will become last, and they will become one and the same.”
—- Gospel of Thomas
By being with yourself, the ‘I am’; by watching yourself in your daily life with alert interest, with the intention to understand rather than to judge, in full acceptance of whatever may emerge, because it is there, you encourage the deep to come to the surface and enrich your life and consciousness with its captive energies. This is the great work of awareness; it removes obstacles and releases energies by understanding the nature of life and mind. Intelligence is the door to freedom and alert attention is the mother of intelligence.
— Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
