“At the point of creation, two poles of the Absolute, Universal Mind (S...” — Dejan Stojanovic Quote

“At the point of creation, two poles of the Absolute, Universal Mind (Something) and Absolute Void (Nothing) become creators of the world. The Universal Mind is the active “pole,” and the Absolute Void (Nothingness) is the passive “pole.” At the “moment” of creation, the Universal Mind envelops nothingness by the size of its program, but there is always nothingness “beyond” this nothingness unaffected by the creation. There can be many of these creations or universes. All of them together form the Universe. The Universe we live in is only a speck of the real Universe we cannot identify based on our current technology. It is a big question whether we will ever be able to glimpse the Absolute except through abstract thought and imagination, which are, in my opinion, legitimate methods not only of philosophical investigation but also scientific ones.”

“The main problem lies not in the beliefs but in the conception of God. What is God? Depending on the answer to the question of what God is, our relation, not only to God but to the idea of beliefs and religions, is formed and resolved. The main obstacle to this problem comes from our concept of God and not from God or the world itself. First of all, we cannot agree on what God is. We only see, analyze, and interpret religions in their expressed forms, primarily based on revelations that serve (and must serve) as God’s given laws. In these books and “laws,” God is described, ascribed, and prescribed. As such, God is a defined and untouchable being. The status of untouchability lies in revelations by the prophets, which is to say, in “God’s own words.” That is the only legitimacy to base these laws and secure them. We have no other fact or proof except the words of the few, which we must believe and follow.”

“If the Being, Universe, appears in the Nothing, or the Nothing appears in the Being, a point in space is created, and consequently, time. What makes the Nothing a real nothing is the lack of something, the lack of the Being. If the Being appears, nothing is not nothing anymore, for it becomes space.”

“Also, though not over-elderly, he was not over-young.”

“Time has no meaning in itself unless we choose to give it significance”

“It is time for us to turn to each other, not on each other.”

“I'm an athlete and I'm black, and a lot of black athletes go broke. I do not want to become a statistic, so maybe I overcompensate. But I'm paranoid. Oprah told me a long time ago, 'You sign every check. Never let anyone sign any checks.'”

“One does not leave a convivial party before closing time.”

“When Max imagined that even the surface of the sun was frozen still and that everything in the infinite universe he'd learned about in astronomy had take a time-out because his little brother found a key in the woods behind St. Monroe Elementary, his head started to spin.”
