“While the universe seems to hold its breath, my consciousness is thrust into an abyss, caught in the gravitational pull of unfolding chaos. It's as if the very fabric of existence has reached out, unleashing a cosmic tremor—the kind that reshapes galaxies and rewrites the laws of physics and fate on a whim—then leaned in and whispered, 'Bet you didn't see that coming.”
― Aura Biru, We Are Everyone

“A wise leader made an attention-grabbing statement that's stayed with me for decades. He declared, "I've made it a general principle to refrain from promoting anyone to a place of authority whose record is perfect."
When asked why, he answered, "I learn more about a person's character by their response to failure than anything else. Did they own responsibility, repent, and grow from the experience? Or did they justify their behavior and delegate the blame? It shows if he or she is fit for responsibility." What I learned from that was: it indicates if wisdom is what he or she prizes above all else.”

“The A.W.E. Method
A.W.E stands for Attention, Wait, Exhale and Expand.
Attention means
Focusing your full and undivided attention on something you value, appreciate or find amazing.
Wait means slowing down or pausing.
Exhale and Expand amplifies whatever sensations you are experiencing.
A.W.E. is a quick and easy intervention that can cultivate awe in the ordinary, at any time and in any place.
Cultivating awe for less than a minute a day reduces symptoms of depression and anxiety, improves social connection, decreases loneliness, reduces burnout, lowers stress, increases wellbeing and reduces chronic pain.
The capacity to help heal the mind and body is only one of awe's superpowers.”

“One of the most remarkable aspects of awe is its ability to help us feel more connected to others.
Find a place where you can be alone and then use the A.W.E. Method while thinking of a person who has been most dear to you in your life. They may be living or passed away.
Take time to create a clear picture of that person, maybe a particular memory or scene that captures their essence.
Hold the image in your mind, give it your full attention.
Wait the length of a full inhalation or maybe more than one, while you take time to appreciate this person. Imagine looking into their eyes.
Consider what they mean to you, what you learned from them or how you grew as a result of knowing them.
We can be in the moment while remembering. While you remember and feel, just remember and feel.
Then, when you're ready, exhale fully and allow yourself a moment of awe.”

“A.W.E. is a doorway to profound presence, spaciousness, ease and peace - a fast track to transcendence.
Part of the reason awe doesn't come naturally to some people is that their sympathetic nervous system is in overdrive more often than is necessary.
Many of us don't feel safe enough to open up to awe.”

“Perception Language, like awe, is novel and requires cognitive accommodation - a different way of seeing and making sense of ourselves and the world.
Some of the highlights are
� Keep the conversation in the present.
� Remove blame and praise from every conversation.
â€� Understand that we are the source of our feelings.”

“Consciousness is not some abstract concept. It's our state of mind - our thoughts and feelings at any given moment.
The 3LC model (Spacious, Heart, Safety) suggests the state of consciousness we are in will always influence how we perceive a situation, the choices we see for ourselves and our actions.
In other words, it affects everything.
Three Levels of Consciousness
Spacious - AWE - Expansive, Nonverbal, Nontemporal
Heart - Appreciation, Gratitude
Safety - Reward - Purposeful Proactive Productive
- Stuck - Anxiety Anguish Ambivalence
- Threat - Fight Flight Freeze”

Awe is a vehicle that takes us to the other side of the pain and back to what is precious.”

“In The Order of Time, physicist and author Carlo Rovelli sums up this dynamic beautifully:
"It isn't absence that causes sorrow. It is affection and love. Without affection, without love, such absences would cause us no pain. For this reason, even the pain caused by absence is, in the end, something good and even beautiful, because it feeds on that which gives meaning to life.”

“Life can be a challenge and having tools to remind myself of who and where I am in that world and what is most important is priceless.
A.W.E is a simple tool that takes me away from the chaos of our world and reminds me that the experience of being alive is the true value. -Tom”

“There are many times when I'm in utter awe of you.'

I stilled. Every part of me.

'I shouldn't be surprised by when you're capable of,' he went on. 'What you're willing to do. But I am. I'm always in awe of you.”

“The Wait in A.W.E. is the pause in which we experience presence - that quality of spaciousness where the mind isn't overthinking and processing but being an observer.
With presence, there's no agenda. Nothing to do and no place to be. There's no thinking. Just being.
Because we have chosen to be in the presence of something we value, appreciate or find amazing, our experience of that moment is nourishing and powerful.
Waiting, when done with intention, is one way to be fully present.”

“In an essay, clinical psychologist David Elkins highlights the transformative element of awe. He describes moments of awe as "the most important, transformative experiences of lifeâ€� Awe is a lightning bolt that marks in memory those moments when the doors of perception are cleansed and we see with startling clarity what is truly important in life.”

“These people showed a marked increase in connections between parts of the frontal cortex associated with self-concept and parts of the brain associated with processing sensory and motor information. It’s hard to know what to really make of this, and it’s tricky to attribute emotions or insights to people based on functional brain images. But Williams’s theory is backed up by some other research. Well-connected brains in these areas, she said, tend to be pretty good at processing stressful information and making narrative and personal sense of it. In other words, these drunk-on-beauty people know how to tell themselves a story when something confusing happens. The single emotion they share is awe.”

“As a being created by God, you are involved in a relationship with the Creator that gleams with a moment-by-moment immediacy. Creation is not some fatalistic scenario within which you rudely awaken, nor your own act of self-determination, nor an ancient act that long ago began the process of being. No, creation has this immediacy of constant present tense. An awareness of this immediacy at any moment can startle your soul and excite your heart in a rush of awe.”

“But it was humbling. Awe-inspiring, even. There was a gravity about the stone, a surreal sense of vastness. And the resonant sense of lost love, the sheer depth of it reverberated through the stone, reaching out to Deri across more than a millennium, an echo of shared humanity knifing into Deri’s core.”

“In all the art Jay’s seen, sperm whales are barges of fat. But when the whale before him curls its fluked tail to the side, muscles larger than Jay pull tight, pinching seams through the blubber. It must be the strongest thing that ever lived, matched only by its unexpected grace. It holds the pose: a comma in a sentence so large only gods can read it.”
― Daniel Kraus, Whalefall

“But what is this thing we call experience? Beyond science is a personal experience shared by the ancients and all humans today, a sense of the awe and mystery of existence. For me this experience must count as an observation even if it si considered incommensurate with our rhetorical vision of the objective tests of science. That power to inspire awe is magically expressed in Carruth’s moving lines,

Like tide on a crescent sea-beach,
When the moon is new and thin,
Into our hearts high yearnings
Come welling and surging in:
Come from the mystic ocean
Whose rim no foot has trod,�
Some of us call it Longing,
And others call it God.

Materialism ignores any references to experiences of awe and mystery as evidence of the nonmaterial.”
