>The Jewish nigger Lassalle who, I’m glad to say, is leaving at the end of this week, has happily lost another 5,000 talers in an ill-judged speculation. The chap would sooner throw money down the drain than lend it to a ‘friend’, even though his interest and capital were guaranteed... It is now quite plain to me — as the shape of his head and the way his hair grows also testify — that he is descended from the negroes who accompanied Moses’ flight from Egypt (unless his mother or paternal grandmother interbred with a nigger).

We are all expressions of one greater reality that gives rise to the universe and everything in it. Part of who we are goes beyond the physical world. From that perspective, what lies beyond physics, an infinite underlying reality, means that you are not merely a part of the universe, but the universe as a whole, as you."John Paolucci>"He who sees all beings in his own Self, and his own Self in all beings, vanish fear forever."Isa Upanishad
