Prayer of St Francis

Prayer of St Francis

Came across this while watching a clip on George Yeo. He spoke at the launch of his book and shared about the last chapter he wrote.

He wanted to find the meaning of life, and that equates somewhat to finding god . He said the quest to be spiritual – while it appears to be less important as science progresses, – should have been more, and he shared this prayer :

“Lord, make me an instrument of your peace: where there is hatred, let me sow love; where there is injury, pardon; where there is doubt, faith; where there is despair, hope; where there is darkness, light; where there is sadness, joy.

O Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console; to be understood as to understand; to be loved as to love.”

Infinite Potential: The Life and Ideas of David Bohm

This is such an amazing title.

The most amazing thing is that when everyone is looking at the stars, he was studying the night sky. He postulates that in between the stars, these night skies, is where lots of information can be retrieved.

Its amazing how transformation can occur, like the buddhist concept of the bardo. The gaps are where the possibilities are. Where the next breakthrough is kept. Wouldn’t have imagined how romantic science can be until now.

Gems here:

The very act of seeing changes the things seen

The observer is the observed

Thought is an actual movement in our lives

If you’ve able to be quiet the deeper layers of reality will open up to u

The participant nature of the observer in what we call reality

Quantum physics invite us to be participators in that emerging world

Each of us is a co producer of the world and of a possible future

We r internally related to everything
