Quote

"But I don't know who I am. I don't know what "being me" mean"

Then, if you can totally feel at ease without knowing who you are, what's left, is what you are.

Quote

In the eyes of the ego, self-esteem and humility are contradictory.

In reality, they are one and the same.

 

Eckhart Tolle

"In any given culture, the brainwashed ones who fit in best (lawyers and teachers) assume much of the leadership."

"Adult moralists are always angry people."

"Managing the disease of moralism is done by telling the truth like children do before they lose their innocence."

"We run around in the world wile running around in our minds trying to live up to standards we imagine others are requiring of us, while we starve for the nourishment that comes from commonplace experience."

"This process of learning to categorize experiences, and then forgetting the distinction between categories and experience itself, is what I call learning how to lie."

 - Brad Blanton PhD

Quote

If there such a thing as "my life", it means that "I" and life are two different things, and that I can loose my life.

Death becomes a reality and a threat.

[...]

If "I" and life are two, that would mean that I'm dissociated from life, dissociated from all things, all livings creatures, all humans.

But how could I be dissociated from life ? There is no "I" outside of life, outside of being. It's absolutely impossible.

So, if there is no such thing as "my life", that "I don't have a life".

I am life. I and life are one. It cannot be any other way.

So, how could I loose my life ? How could I loose something that I don't have to begin with ?

How to loose something that I am ?

It's impossible !!!

Eckhart Tolle

 

 

Quote

When you take away all circumstances, all identity, all personal characteristics, all individual ego wants and needs and desires, all that remains is that which we all have in common, that which we all are.

And that which we are is – only and always - “unconditional love”.

Jenny Ford

 

 

Quote

“You have to keep breaking your heart until it opens.”

“You wander from room to room
Hunting for the diamond necklace
That is already around your neck!”

 Jalaluddin Rumi

" God is the light of the heavens and the earth; the likeness of His Light is as a niche wherein is a lamp (the lamp in a glass, the glass as it were a glittering star) kindled by a Blessed Tree,
an olive that is neither of the East nor of the West whose oil well-nigh would shine, even if no fire  Light upon Light, God guides to His Light whom He will"- The Quran

[Leo Gura]

"Do not blame God for having created the tiger, but thank him for not having given it wings."  -- Hindu Proverb

"Ring the bells that still can ring,

forget your perfect offering,

there is a crack in everything,

that's how the light gets in"

Quote

 

Your life is your life, don’t let it be clubbed into dank submission

Be on the watch, there are ways out

There is a light, somewhere, it may not be much light, but, it beats the darkness

Be on the watch, the gods will offer you chances

Know them. Take them

 

You can’t beat death, but you can beat death in life, sometimes

And the more often you learn to do it, the more light there will be

 

Your life is your life. Know it while you have it

You are marvelous, the gods wait to delight, in you

 

If you’re going to try, go all the way

Otherwise, don’t even start

 

If you’re going to try, go all the way

This could mean losing girlfriends, wives, relatives, jobs,

And maybe your mind.

 

Go all the way.

It could mean not eating for 3 or 4 days.

It could mean freezing on a park bench.

It could mean, jail.

It could mean, derision, mockery, isolation.

 

Isolation is the gift, all the others are a test of you endurance,

Of how much you really want to do it.

 

And you’ll do it, despite rejection and the worst odds, and it will be better than anything else you can imagine.

If you’re going to try, go all the way.

 

There is no other feeling like that.

You will be alone with the gods, and the nights will flame with fire.

 

Do it

Do it

Do it

Do it

All the way

All the way

 

You will ride life, straight to perfect laughter

Its the only good fight there is
