Meditation allows us to see how the voices we have internalized from our parents, political leaders, and religious teachers inform the way we speak and think, and thereby it opens up a space in which we're not just vocalizing what our community believes and says. Stephen Batchelor, "Finding the Voice, Performing the Self" … Release the "arrogance" of wanting to wake up the other. You are not here to wake up others, You are here to wake up yourself. … It has nothing to do with effort. Just turn away, look between the thoughts, rather than at the thoughts. When you happen to walk in a crowd, you do not fight every man you meet, you just find your way between. When you fight, you invite a fight. But when you do not resist, you meet no resistance. When you refuse to play the game, you are out of it. - Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj - … Western cultures believe we must be alive for a purpose. to work, to make money. Some indigenous cultures believe we're alive just as nature is alive: to be here, to be beautiful & strange. we don't need to achieve anything to be valid in our humanness. ~ Unknown … Words are events, they do things, change things. They transform both speaker and hearer; they feed energy back and forth and amplify it. They feed understanding or emotion back and forth and amplify it. -URSULA K. LE GUIN … Happy Friday ! :-) Thank you for visiting. Take some time for your self.

I realized how much I love myself when I noticed I’m capable of observing my feelings without attachment and began to not take other people's opinion personally, but treat them only as their perception. There is a very Simple Secret to being happy. Just let go of your 'demand' on this moment. Any time you have a demand on the moment to give you something or remove something, there is suffering. You're Arguing with 'What Is' - Your demands keep you chained to the 'dream-state' of the conditioned mind. The desire to 'control'... is, ultimately, our unwillingness to just be awake. ~ Adyashanti ~ … Repeat after me: The more I relax, the more I receive. Life doesn't respond to my effort, it responds to my frequency. @KRISTINALICARE … "A man can be himself only so long as he is alone; and if he does not love solitude, he will not love freedom; for it is only when he is alone that he is really free." - Arthur Schopenhauer … "The mind is either remembering or anticipating. So where does it end? Right now. The past is an illusion, unless you can prove otherwise. The future is an illusion, unless you can prove otherwise. And that's impossible. So yeah, right now...but as long as you are believing your thoughts, it leaves the illusion of not now." - Katie … The reality of life is that your perceptions - right or wrong - influence everything else you do. When you get a proper perspective of your perceptions, you may be surprised how many other things fall into place. ~ Roger Birkman Thank you for visiting. Take some time for your self.
