Building the pyramids or Chartres cathedral are not totally reasonable endeavors — to spend all this money and time and effort and lives in some cases, piling up beautifully cut stone, and yet it’s what gives the grandeur to human existence. It makes humanity in society have something of the brilliance of the light shafting down from the stars.
By Howard Jay RubinMay 1984April 1984If you begin to understand what you are without trying to change it, then what you are undergoes a transformation.
Krishnamurti
The question becomes, how do we become aware of the limitations culture imposes on us from inside those limitations? How do we see through blind eyes? How do we begin to unclothe ourselves to return to our original nakedness, when we are taught that the clothes are us?
By Jim RalstonApril 1984March 1984I do not much believe in education. Each man ought to be his own model, however frightful that may be.
Albert Einstein
February 1984Do not think you will necessarily be aware of your own enlightenment.

Underlying New Dimensions is a spiritual dimension. If there’s a focus it’s that we’re all connected. The scientists, the spiritual teachers, the psychologists, the educators — they’re all saying the same thing in different ways: everything is interconnected. If we’re consuming a third of the world’s resources that affects the rest of the world in a very direct way. If the space program did nothing else it did show us the earth hanging out there in space, it gave us a sense of being part of the same planet. We’re all using the same environment; spiritually we’re all connected as well.
By Howard Jay RubinJanuary 1984December 1983Trouble is a part of your life, and if you don’t share it, you don’t give the person who loves you enough chance to love you enough.
