OK, here goes.
Tao Te Ching by Lao Tze. Translation by Witter Bynner.
Chapter 14
What we look for beyond seeing
And call the unseen,
Listen for beyond hearing
And call the unheard,
Grasp for beyond reaching
And call the withheld,
Merge beyond understanding
In a oneness
Which does not merely rise and give light,
Does not merely set and leave darkness,
But forever sends forth a succession of living things as mysterious
As the unbegotten existence to which they return.
******************************************************************************* The Over-Soul by Ralph Waldo Emerson
Man is a stream whose source is hidden. Our being is descending into us from we know not whence. The most exact calculator has no prescience that somewhat incalculable may not balk the very next moment. I am constrained every moment to acknowledge a higher origin for events than the will i call mine.
As with events, so it is with thoughts. When I watch that flowing river, which, out of regions I see not, pours for a season its streams into me, I see that I am a pensioner; not a cause but a surprised spectator of this ethereal water; that I desire and look up and put myself in the attitude of reception, but from some alien energy the visions come.

The Holy Bible King James Version
Ecclesiastes 1:8
All things are full of labor; man cannot utter it: the eye is not satisfied with seeing, nor the ear filled with hearing.
********************************************************************************************** The Tao of Physics by Friyjof Capra
Mystical knowledge can never be obtained just by observation, but by only by full participation with ones whole being. ... Thus the Upanishads say:
Where there is a duality, as it were, there one sees another; there one smells another; there one tastes another.... But where everything has become just ones own self, then whereby and whom would one see? Then thereby and whom would one smell? Then whereby and whom would one taste?
********************************************************************************************************* Henry David Thoreau Walden, Chapter II
I perceive that we inhabitants of New England live this mean life that we do because our vision does not penetrate the surface of things. We think that that
is which
appears to be.
**************************************************************************************************** Quantum Healing by Deepak Chopra Part 1 Chapter 7
In essence, the quantum world is but another step down on the scale of invisibility. Unlike the tiniest bacteria or viruses, a single photon, electron, or any other object in the quantum world can never be seen using any extension of sight and touch. They are truly everywhere and no where at the same time.
*************************************************************************************************** A Course in Miracles Foundation for Inner Peace Book I Text Ch. 1;vii:7
I have said before that what you project or extend is up to you, but you must do one or the other, for that is a law of the mind, and you must look in before you look out. As you look in, you choose the guide for seeing. And then you look in and see his witnesses. This is why you find what you seek. What you want in yourself you make manifest, and you will accept it from the world because you put it there by wanting it.
************************************************************************************** The Nature of the Psyche by Jane Roberts
Whatever your scientists think, your body and your consciousness and your universe spring constantly into actualization. Therefore, through cultivating the clear experience of your own consciousness and being with time and with the moment as you feel it, you can draw upon the greater vitality and power that's available.
To do this, rely upon your immediate sense data, not secondary experience as described. That primary sense data, while pinpointed in the present, providing you with the necessary stance in time, can still open up to you the timelessness from which all time emerges, can bring you intuitive intimations, hinting at the true nature of the ever-present coming-to-be of the universe.

http://www.metaparticles.com/Creation of matter in the form of fundamental particles demands as source a non-material substratum or Dynamic Field in a non-dimensional, permanently enduring space. This "abstract space" underlies and sustains the universal space which contains all that exists. Such Field consists of homogeneous motion whose dynamic energy remains in a single state of intensity. Laws intrinsic to the Field cause different but balanced points of energy to be instantaneously translated into objectivity. Thus unity of being becomes variety of existence.

Wow. This is harder than I thought. Anyway, there's my first shot at something other than mental meanderings. You may respectfully disagree.
Now I have to do some laundry.
