It funny how such profound thoughts can be stated and delivered in one sentence. sometimes even one word.
"We are close to waking up when we dream that we are dreaming."
Oh Wow how this statement is true. haha Plenty of times when im asleep i will dream that im dreaming...and then seconds later im awake and trying to remember what i was dreaming about haha However, i do think there is a deeper meaning behind this statement. Often people refer to life without God in your life as the time you were asleep. And when you recieve Christ and devote yourself to God you are awakened. So with that knowledge, this would mean that when you start to learn more about God and are actually thinking about how your life would be with him in it...you are closer to becoming awakened. 00

"Philosophy is really homesickness."
Philosophy is the investigation of truths, principles of being, knowledge, and conduct. So basically this statement says that the investigation is really just a longing or searching for home. What is home? In my opinion home would be heaven or a relationship with Christ. Im not sure what this guy meant by home, but if i had to guess that would be my answer....

"There is only one temple in the world and that is the human body."
This reminds me of a verse from the bible:
Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have recieved from God? You are not your own... 1 Corinthians 6:19
So those two thoughts alone pretty explain eachother. THe human body is a temple. A temple of the Holy SPirit. Meaning treat it well, its not yours. Its borrowed property. If you mess with it...your messin with the Holy Spirit. Thats big stuff.
