Or, as Krishna says to Arjuna (who symbolizes an awakening individual consciousness), 'know me as the Knower of the Field of all fields.' (Bhagavad Gita 13:2)" Ravi Ravindra, 'Science and the Mystery of Silence'

2 "One Nature, perfect and pervading, circulates in all natures. One reality, all-comprehensive, contains within itself all realities." Larry Dossy, M.D., 'Ancient Messages in Modern Science'

4 "Oneness and unity is an intrinsic quality of the world." Larry Dossey, M.D., 'Ancient Messages in Modern Science'

In this whole, each element that we can abstract in thought shows basic properties that depend on its overall environment, in a way that is much more reminiscent of how the organs constituting living beings are related, than it is of how parts of a machine interact." David Bohm, 'Wholeness and the Implicate Order'

10 "Imagine! Two particles, once in contact, separated even to the ends of the universe, change instantaneously when a change in one of them occurs!" Larry Dossey, M.D., 'Ancient Messages in Modern Science'

11 "Acknowledging the mathematically elegant intellectual integrity of eternally regenerative Universe is one way of identifying God." Buckminster Fuller, 'Theology Versus Science: Regarding Some Familiar and Not-So-Familiar Cosmic Principles'

12 "An invisible wholeness unites the objects that are given birth in the universe." Larry Dossey, M.D., 'Ancient Messages in Modern Science'

13 "Ancient traditions – Buddhism, Hinduism, and others – have consistently shown that the unity of man and universe is a fundamental criterion for our existence."

14 "(Albert) Einstein knew much of this quality of oneness, and drew his strength from it." Larry Dossey, M.D., 'Ancient Messages in Modern Science'

15 "Each part of the universe contains enough information to reconstitute the whole. The form and structure of the entire world is enfolded within each part." Larry Dossey, M.D., 'Ancient Messages in Modern Science'

16 "Synchronicity hints at the unified world behind the illusory veil of the material universe." Roger S. Jones, associate professor of physics at the University of Minnesota, 'Time and Time Again'

17 "How do I know the ways of all things at the Beginning? By what is within me." Tao Te Ching
