Quotes About Birth

At physical death man loses his consciousness of the flesh and becomes conscious of his astral body in the astral world. Thus physical death is astral birth.

These recurrent cycles of physical and astral encasements are the ineluctable destiny of all unenlightened men.

Like the Birth Of Venus, the song [Yello "oh, Yeah"] denotes the birth of the bro. The song just reminds me of bros looking out over lowered Ray-Bans. It birthed a negative sexual revolution.

There's something good buried in that song and I might not hate it as much if I hadn't been a sex worker.

That this is an evil equal to almost any of those against which mankind have hitherto struggles, the poor are not wrong in believing.

It is a thought as sweet as heaven to know that in the minds of each of us the may by the fence still blooms in an eternal springtime; that the snowdrop has in our hearts a triple birth, and blooms in three separate minds, faultlessly...
