Stillness

One's action ought to come out of an achieved stillness: not to be a mere rushing on.

D.H. Lawrence

A Hunter of More Invisible Game

Little by little wean yourself.
This is the gist of what I have to say.
From an embryo, whose nourishment comes in the blood,
move to an infant drinking milk,
to a child on solid food,
to a searcher after wisdom,
to a hunter of more invisible game.
Rumi

God Never Stops Creating

God is the creator. He never stops creating. So why do people think he stopped creating spiritual teachings two thousand years ago? Discover the new gospel for the new day. Jesus

(quoted from Kim Michaels, The Jesus Koans)

A Frog's Eye View

To a frog with its simple eye, the world is a dim array of greys and blacks. Are we like frogs in our limited sensorium, apprehending just part of the universe we inhabit.
Michael Murphy

Letting Go

I don’t let go of concepts, I question them. They let go of me.

Byron Katie

Be generous with kindly words, especially about those who are absent.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

John Lennon

Life is what happens to us when we are busy making other plans.

Quietness

The sole cause of man’s unhappiness is that he does not know how to stay quietly in his room

MIRACLES

There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is.
Einstein

“DO YOU WANT PEACE OR DRAMA?"

"You want peace. There is no one who does not want peace.

Yet there is something else in you that wants the drama, wants

the conflict. You may not he able to feel it at this moment.

You may have to wait for a situation or even just a thought that

triggers a reaction in you: someone accusing you of this or that,

not acknowledging you, encroaching on your territory,

questioning the way you do things, an argument about money…..

Can you then feel the enormous surge of force moving

through you, the fear, perhaps being masked by anger or

hostility? Can you hear your own voice becoming harsh or shrill,

or louder and a few octaves lower? Can you be aware of your

mind racing to defend, position, justify; attack, blame?

In other words, can you awaken at that moment of unconsciousness?

Can you feel that there is something in you that is at war, something

that feels threatened and wants to survive at all costs, that needs the

drama in order to assert its identity as the victorious

character within that theatrical production? Can you feel there is

something in you that would rather be right than at peace?”

Eckhart Tolle
