The universe is not a world of separate things and events but is a cosmos that is connected, coherent, and bears a profound resemblance to the visions held in the earliest spiritual traditions in which the physical world and spiritual experience were both aspects of the same reality and man and the universe were one. The findings that justify this new vision of the underlying logic of the universe come from almost all of the empirical sciences: physics, cosmology, the life sciences, and consciousness research. They explain how interactions lead to interconnections that produce instantaneous and multifaceted coherence-what happens to one part also happens to the other parts, and hence to the system as a whole. The sense of sacred oneness experienced by our ancestors that was displaced by the unyielding material presumptions of modern science can be restored, and humanity can once again feel at home in the universe.…

Ä.); sinnbildlich: Schulter an Schulter]Im Inneren der Mauern, auf dem Grund der Aufklärungslegion treffen sie aufeinander: Zweieinhalb Mannesportionen, sechs wachsame Augen, dreifach hochkonzentrierter Verstand und ein überaus gewieftes Riechorgan.

My life is not a fairy tale. No fairy godmother came to save me when my mom abused me. No prince charming came to fight away the nightmares I have every single night. But I didn't needed them. until she broke me. My dad brought me back to his house where he and his wife, Pam, lived. A week later, Pam asked me to go to LA with her so I can follow me dreams to be a singer. I wasn't blind. I didn't live under a rock for a decade. I knew who my step-brothers were. Logan and Jake Paul. It was hard to miss. They were everywhere. But they hate me. They think I was going to use them for fame and money. I hated them too. Their ego was bigger than the universe. I swore I would not have them ruin me like my mother did. I swore no feelings will get involved. I broke that promise when I saw him. Damn it.…
