Quotes About Seer

Call it God, call it the Atman, call it whatever you like. You know the Gita: The recollected mind is awake In the knowledge of the Atman Which is dark night to the ignorant: The ignorant are awake in their sense-life Which they think is daylight: To the seer it is darkness.
~ Ken Grimwood
An epoch is like an individual; it has its own limitations of conscious outlook, and therefore requires a compensatory adjustment. This is effected by the collective unconscious in that a poet, a seer or a leader allows himself to be guided by the unexpressed desire of his times and shows the way, by word or deed, to the attainment of that which everyone blindly craves and expects—whether this attainment results in good or evil, the healing of an epoch or its destruction.
~ C.G. Jung
Who is the seer? The Self of man, the Purusha. What is the scene? The whole of nature beginning with the mind, down to gross matter.
~ Swami Vivekananda
The poet becomes a seer through a long, immense, and reasoned derangement of all the senses. All shapes of love, suffering, madness. He searches himself, he exhausts all poisons in himself, to keep only the quintessences …' Burroughs
~ Jack Kerouac
One needs a Seer's Vision and an Angel's voice to be of any avail. I do not know of any Indian man or woman today who has those gifts in their most complete measure.
~ Sarojini Naidu
The man who has been taught by the Holy Spirit will be a seer rather than a scholar. The difference is that the scholar sees and the seer sees through; and that is a mighty difference indeed.
~ Aiden Wilson Tozer
The Antichrist can be born from piety itself, from excessive love of God or of the truth, as the heretic is born from the saint and the possessed from the seer. Fear prophets, Adso, and those prepared to die for the truth, for as a rule they make many others die with them, often before them, at times instead of them.

~ Umberto Eco
For a seer, I was remarkably obtuse.
~ Geraldine Brooks
The star waits for the boy, for the man. See the name, read the name, say the name and its ice burns through the fire. One for the seer, two for the siren, three for the soldier. Dare the storm, children of the gods, and take them home." Sasha
~ Nora Roberts
The world's truth constitutes a vision so terrifying as to beggar the prophecies of the bleakest seer who ever walked it. Once you accept that then the idea that all of this will one day be ground to powder and blown into the void becomes not a prophecy but a promise.
~ Cormac McCarthy
Voltaire, Shelley, Wordsworth, Byron, Rousseau... established a new connection between mankind and the universe, and the result was a vast release of energy. The sun was reborn to man and so was the moon. To man, the very sun goes stale, becomes a habit. Comes a saviour, a seer, and the very sun dances new in heaven.
~ D.H. Lawrence
The greatest poet hardly knows pettiness or triviality. If he breathes into any thing that was before thought small it dilates with the grandeur and life of the universe. He is a seer ... he is individual... he is complete in himself... the others are as good as he, only he sees it and they do not.
~ Walt Whitman
A foster child will expose the cracks in the familial veneer. Insomuch as the foster child is a cipher to the dysfunction of a family and also a seer. But the responsibility is too great for a child and so he finds himself manipulated and blamed for what he exposes by the simple virtue of innocence. The wrath this innocence incurs is deep and dark.
~ Lemn Sissay
Tis said that Hitler, disturbed by nightmares, called in a soothsayer. The seer consulted a crystal ball and said, "Ah, mighty Führer, it is foretold that you will die on a Jewish holiday." "Which one?" said Hitler with a scowl. "Any day you die will be a Jewish holiday.

~ P.C. Cast
Yoga is the cessation of the movements of the mind. Then there is abiding in the Seer's own form.
~ Patanjali
He was no longer, at least in his mind, the most wanted man in America. He was an analyst, a seer, a prognosticator going over his reams of data, moving their pieces, twisting them, testing them, discounting some, fleshing out others, slowly transforming disjointed intelligence into something that made sense.
~ David Baldacci
Tuve yo razón. Pero la razón no da fruto. Y estas son mis vestimentas chamuscadas por el fuego. Y estos son mis trebejos de vidente. Y este es mi rostro desfigurado. Un rostro que pudo ser hermoso y no lo supo.
~ Wis?awa Szymborska
