“You're born and you keep getting older and grayer and sicker, and no matter what efforts you make to reverse the process, you die, every single time. To repeat: worse, worse, worse, and then death. I have a long way to go before the worst. This is only the beginning.”
― Val Emmich, Dear Evan Hansen

“Late October

Carefully
the leaves of autumn
sprinkle down the tinny
sound of little dyings
and skies sated
of ruddy sunsets
of roseate dawns
roil ceaselessly in
cobweb greys and turn
to black
for comfort.

Only lovers
see the fall
a signal end to endings
a gruffish gesture alerting
those who will not be alarmed
that we begin to stop
in order to begin
again.”
― Maya Angelou, The Poetry of Maya Angelou

“When you are fully present and people around you manifest unconscious behavior, you won’t feel the need to react to it, so you don’t give it any reality. Your peace is so vast and deep that anything that is not peace disappears into it as if it had never existed. This breaks the karmic cycle of action and reaction.”

“I was thinking about what she aid about waves, and it made me sad because I knew that her little wave was not going to last and soon she would join the sea again, and even though I know you can’t hold on to water, I still gripped her fingers a little more tightly to keep her from leaking away,”

“You will experience the triple Goddess—Maiden, Mother, and Crone. These phases are symbolic to, not just your own life, but life as a whole. Birth, life, and death. As women, it is important to understand you are the cycle.”

“The Sanskrit texts make it clear that a cataclysm on this scale, though a relatively rare event, is expected to wash away all traces of the former world and that the slate will be wiped clean again for the new age of the earth to begin. In order to ensure that the Vedas can be repromulgated for future mankind after each pralaya the gods have therefore designed an institution to preserve them -- the institution of the Seven Sages, a brotherhood of adepts possessed of unerring memories and supernatural powers, practitioners of yoga, performers of the ancient rituals and sacrifices, ascetics, spiritual visionaries, vigilant in the battle against evil, great teachers, knowledgeable beyond all imagining, who reincarnate from age to age as the guides of civilization and the guardians of cosmic justice.”

Now all I feel is remorse, because it wasn’t until ten seconds ago that I realized I’ve already moved on to another cycle. I’ve moved on to Willow.”

“An ending is the illusion that we create because we believe that God will eventually reach some end so final that it will exceed His ability to create. And that’s the illusion that we need to stop creating.”

“The bonds joining man to the universe of course extended to the family, both to ancestors and to children not yet born. The belief in an inextinguishable vital principle ensured that nothing perished in an irreversible fashion, which explains Norse ethics: death was but one stage of a cycle, the return to the immanent or transcendent world and the return to the sacred. "Retirement to the kingdom of the dead," Regis Boyer notes judiciously, "is not actually timeless as much as it is irrelevant to the present time. It is capable of opening at any moment to create a path for returns."ts In this mental universe, which could be difficult to grasp by minds permeated by Roman and Christian culture, "the dead individual is not really dead. He has returned to one of the states of the cycle, but remains active in the form of landvaettr"—that is, tutelary spirit (genius loci). Revenants were no cause for surprise to the Germanic peoples; they fit perfectly within their mind-sets, their place has not been usurped, and we cannot dismiss these stories as "old wives' tales." The roots of the belief are too deep.”

“World War I was the final straw. Youth turned on their elders for making a hash of the world. Older men’s values had produced a cataclysm, and young men had paid with their lives. “The older generation has certainly pretty well ruined this world before passing it on to us,â€� wrote a young man in the Atlantic Monthly of September 1920, expressing the prevailing sentiment. How could the younger generation, the idea went, possibly do any worse?”

“She loved riding her cycle in the evenings, when the breeze was cool and the humidity was less.

The color of the cycle reminded her of the sky. While riding, she felt as if she were flying. She loved this feeling of flying: as if she were a bird flying in the sky.

Life is so beautiful, she realized. But she could not understand why people fought wars. Why people hated one another?

The birds did not hate each other; they just loved flying under the wide blue sky and the vast green grass.

She often wondered about life and the answers to life's questions. But her mind could never find answers to her questions.”
― Avijeet Das

“Je crois que nous avons toujours besoin d'une période de vide avant de pouvoir changer, un peu comme la nature a des cycles et qu'il faut passer par un temps d'hiver et d'immobilité pour que la vie revienne au printemps suivant.”

“En 1871, Louis Figuier publie Le Lendemain de la mort ou la vie future selon la science, un gros volume dans lequel il se propose de démontrer scientifiquement l'immortalité de l'âme! Selon lui, le corps et la pensée (ou l'âme) sont deux entités distinctes. Puisque d'une génération à l'autre, la matière ne disparaît pas et ne fait que changer d'état, il en est de même pour la pensée: 'Comme la matière, ell doit se transformer, sans jamais se détruire.' Il balaie donc tous les 'traités de l'âme' écrits depuis l'Antiquité, puisque ce 'fait de l'immortalité' est 'évident pour lui-même'.
Le vrai problème, c'est ce que devient l'âme après la mort: 'Il nous importerait fort peu, au fond, que l'âme fût immortelle ou non, si notre âme, étant réellement, indestructible et immortelle, allait servir à un autre que nous-mêmes, ou seulement, si revenant en nous, elle ne conservait point la mémoire de son passé. La résurrection de l'âme, sans la mémoire du passé, serait un véritable anéantissement, ce serait le néant des matérialistes.'
Louis Figuier cherche donc à démontrer que notre âme nous sera conservée 'dans l'autre vie'. Selon lui, après la mort, elle devient un être surhumain, ce que l'on nomme d'habitude un ange. 'Si l'atmosphère est le milieu, l'habitat, de l'homme, le fluide éthéré est le milieu, l'habitat, de l'être surhumain. Ce passage successif en deux milieus différents d'un être, qui subit une métamorphose quand il pénètre dans le nouveau milieu, n'est pas aussi extraordinaire, aussi anormal, aussi contraire aux lois de la nature, que l'on pourrait le croire.' C'est simplement une métamorphose, semblable à celle qui voit 'la larve more et noirâtre rampant dans la fange des étangs devenir la gracieuse libellule traversant l'air avec grâce et vigueur... On peut dire, de ce point de vue, que l'homme est la larve ou la chenille de l'être surhumain.'
Cet être va occuper un nouvel humain, dès sa naissance, à moins que l'homme dont il provient n'ait eu une existence vertueuse. Dans ce cas il subit une autre métamorphose et se transforme en archange. Louis Figuier décrit alors un prodigieux cycle théologico-écologique. À la suite d'une série de métamorphose qui l'amènent à proximité du soleil, l'esprit en devient la matière même, qui revient sur Terre sous forme de rayons bienfaisants. Ceux-ci déposent dans les plantes les germes des âmes qui mûriront ensuite peu à peu, passant des végétaux aux animaux inférieurs, puis aux oiseaux et aux mammifères, jusqu'à l'homme.
Très catholique, Figuier estimait pourtant que cette forme de métempsycose était bien préférable aux dogmes chrétiens sur l'enfer et le paradis, qu'il trouvait profondément injustes, et donc incompatibles avec la bienveillance divine: 'Le retour à une seconde vie terrestre est, en effet, une punition moins cruelle, plus raisonnable et plus juste que la condamnation aux tourment éternels. Ici la peine n'est qu'en proportion du péché; elle est équitable et indulgente, comme le châtiment d'un père.' Son livre mis à l'Index par l'Église Catholique, sera réimprimé dix fois jusqu'en 1904, dix ans après la mort de son auteur et, peut-être, sa propre métamorphose.”
