Out of almost nothing…..
In every second of time the visible beings, large and not so large, vegetable and animal, are growing out of the invisible with a force so subtle yet so irresistible they can break a rock or split an atom. Out of almost nothing came the leviathans of trees and beasts, inexorably expanding to a destined size. Out of a almost nothing, almost but not quite — for there is the fact we tend to...

Three things….
Wisdom tells me I am nothing. Love tells me I am everything. Between these two, my life flows. —Nisargadata There are three things that are real: God, human folly, and laughter.

But you don’t decide what to do with the info. Thought runs you. Thought, however, gives false info that you are running it, that you are the one who controls thought.
