INSPIRATIONS
INSPIRATIONS
A human being is a part of the whole, called by us "Universe," a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings as something separated from the rest, a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. The striving to free oneself from this delusion is the one issue of true religion. Not to nourish it but to try to overcome it is the way to reach the attainable measure of peace of mind.
Albert Einstein (1879 - 1955) Mathematical Circles
"...compassion, in which all ethics must take root, can only attain its full breadth and depth if it embraces all living creatures and does not limit itself to mankind.-"
Albert Schweitzer (German medical Missionary, Theologian, Musician and Philosopher. 1952 Nobel Peace Prize, 1875-1965)

Love
alone can unite living beings so as to complete and fulfill
them... for it alone joins them by what is deepest in
themselves. All we need is to imagine our ability to love developing
until it embraces the totality of men and the earth."
~ Pierre Teilhard de Chardin

"LOVE AND DO WHAT YOU WILL" St. Augustine
LOVE IS LETTING GO OF FEAR

ETHICS GOALS
[2A2] The second goal of the required leadership/ethics flag courses -- learn to make real-life ethical choices -- is closely related to the core purpose of the University of Texas, to transform lives for the benefit of society. It is also one of the basic education requirements of U.T.: “have experience in thinking about moral and ethical problems.”
our primary approach is the oldest: ethics guided by lovingkindness; more specifically, by three nonbinary emotions: biophilia, inner peace, joie de vivre
[2A2f] To practice replacing fear and greed with love, compassion, tolerance, and the sympathetic imagination.
OTHER GOALS
[3C1] To unify the self: our goal is to maximize our potential by cultivating both sides of our brains, developing all our multiple intelligences.
The leader of the lyrebirds, having flown 1206 [A++] kilometers, is leaving the steel city of Rourkela on her way to Varanasi.A pair of lyrebirds, having flown 1022 and 1025 [A-] kilometers, are exploring the Kathak dance and classical music of Raigarh.Another pair of lyrebirds, having flown 992 and 996 [[B+] ]kilometers, are crossing the hot, fertile coastal plain of Odisha heading north to Sambalpur, birthplace of three Tantric cults of Buddhism.These five lyrebirds are "racing" toward Varanasi for the award ceremony for the top three pilgrims.====================================================================Another lyrebird, having flown 964 [B] kilometers, is exploring the temples of Brahmapur, but will also soon turn north toward Sambalpur and Varanasi.Another, having flown 924 [B-] kilometers, is exploring the Andhra mahavishnu Temple in the Krishna district of Srikakulam .Four lyrebirds, having flown 821 [C-] 847, 856 [C] and 875 [C+] kilometers, are relaxing at the north end of Kakinada beach which has one of longest coastlines of all Indian beaches and is famous for its mild blue waters and cold breeze all day.Two lyrebirds, having flown 756[D] kilometers, are relaxing at the south end of Kakinada beach.The rest are lost among the ancient Buddhist stupa and the Jain relics in Gudivada and thus there is some doubt that they will survive the pilgrimage, much less make it to Varanasi.
