“A human being is a part of a 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. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty.”

“The same right-brained children who are being labelled and shamed in our schools are the very individuals who have the skills necessary to lead us into the twenty-first century. These children process visually and randomly, and think holistically. They are the intuitive problem solvers who get the big picture. They thrive on visual imagery and stimulation; these “attention deficit” kids can spend hours with computers and CD-Rom programs that mirror their thought processes. It’s no wonder they are attracted to computers. The use of computers is congruent with the way right-brained children think”
