Quote 2594

I decided to leave a gift for others who would come later and be interested in quantum physics. And, as I did, I began to realise that while I was writing this book I was excited and fulfilled and engaged, and my life was meaningful and electric. And when I wasn't feeling those things, I was frightened, angry, bitter, jealous, resentful and a victim again. And I set the intention to live my life the way this book was being written: spontaneously, intelligently, and joyfully. And writing that book was a leap across a chasm, and I didn't know that I leaped and I didn't know even know the chasm was there. But when I was on the other side, I realised that the chasm was there and it's the chasm between thinking and doing. It's the chasm between inspiration and acting on your inspiration. And having acted, having done something, having contributed to the world, I found myself in another place. It was the difference between taking and giving. And my anger, my addictions didn't disappear for years but I had that experience in my life as a benchmark. And my life continued to change...put me in new territory, into a new consciousness - the consciousness of giving - Gary Zukav, December 2003 issue of Science of Mind magazine (www.scienceofmind.com) - http://www.mitchhorowitz.com/gary-zukav.html
