Quote of the Week
"The thought manifests as the word. The word manifests as the deed. The deed develops into habit. And the habit hardens into character. So watch the thought and its ways with care. And let it spring from love, born out of concern for all beings."
~Buddha
"Do not let your fire go out, spark by irreplaceable spark, in the
hopeless swamps of the approximate, the not-quite, the not-yet, the
not-at-all. Do not let the hero in your soul perish, in lonely
frustration for the life you deserved, but have never been able to
reach. Check your road and the nature of your battle. The world you
desired can be won. It exists, it is real, it is possible, it is yours."
~Ayn Rand
You Are Creating From One of these Two Places:
LOVE...
The moment you have in your heart this extraordinary thing called love and feel the depth, the delight, the ecstasy of it, you will discover that for you the world is transformed.
J. Krishnamurti
or
FEAR...
What is needed, rather than running away or controlling or suppressing or any other resistance, is understanding fear; that means, watch it, learn about it, come directly into contact with it. We are to learn about fear, not how to escape from it.
J. Krishnamurti
What energy R U Creating From?
"Everything about all life that exists is about minding the details for a joyful moment.
In other words, all existence is about that. Even the cells in your body are finding
preferences...Everything exists for the purpose of finding preference."
"We never cease to be and we never cease to expand, that's not in question, the only
thing in question is, in THIS moment of expansion, is THIS consciousness having a
joyful moment or not. Because you ARE having an expansive moment, that never
stops, but are you having a joyful moment, that's the only thing in question. And
that is the goal...in other words, that's what it's all about."
~A.H.
"...All that a belief is is a thought that you keep practicing.
"...somewhere you got the thought,
you held the thought,
you let it become doiminat in your vibration,
LOA responded to that vibration
and made it evedential in your experience.
And so you say "It's true!"
We are one, after all, you and I.
Together we suffer,
together exist,
and forever will
recreate
each
other.
~ Pierre Teilhard De Chardin
CHILDREN
They are the sons and daughters of life's longing for itself.
They come through you but not from you,
And though they are with you yet they belong not to you.
You may give them your love but not your thoughts,
For they have their own thoughts.
You may house their bodies but not their souls,
For their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow, which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams.
You may strive to be like them, but seek not to make them like you. For life goes not backward nor tarries with yesterday.
Kahlil Gibran
My symphony
To live content with small means -
to seek elegance rather than luxury, and refinement rather than fashion, to be worthy, not respectable, and wealthy, not rich -
to study hard, think quietly, talk gently, act frankly, to listen to stars and birds, babes and sages, with open heart -
to bear all cheerfully - do all bravely, await occasions - never hurry; in a word, to let the spiritual, unbidden and unconscious, grow up through the common.
This is to be my symphony.
~ William Ellery Channing
If you want to know the past, look at your present life. If you want to know the future, look at your present."
- Buddha
MARCUS AURELIUS:
The universe is transformation; our life is what our thoughts make it.
The most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss, and have found their way out of the depths. These persons have an appreciation, a sensitivity and an understanding of life that fills them with compassion, gentleness, and a deep loving concern. Beautiful people do not just happen.
Elisabeth Kuebler-Ross
The beauty of the heart
is the lasting beauty:
its lips give to drink
of the water of life.
Truly it is the water,
that which pours,
and the one who drinks.
All three become one when
your talisman is shattered.
That oneness you can't know
by reasoning.
From: Mathnawi II, 716-718
- Rumi
In love, nothing exists between heart and heart.
Speech is born out of longing,
True description from the real taste.
The one who tastes, knows;
the one who explains, lies.
How can you describe the true form of Something
In whose presence you are blotted out?
And in whose being you still exist?
And who lives as a sign for your journey?
- Rabia
LILA-THE COSMIC DANCE
If we ask why Reality, which is in fact one and perfect, is seen by us as many and marred; why the soul, which is really united with God throughout, sees itself as sundered; why the rope appears to be a snake. If we ask these questions we are up against the question that has no answer, any more than the comparable Christian question of why God created the world has an answer. The best we can say is that the world is lila, God's play, Children playing hide and seek assume various roles that have no validity outside the game. They place themselves in jeopardy and in conditions from which they must escape.Why do they do so when in a twinkling they could free themselves by simply stepping out of the game? The only answer is that the game is its own point and reward. It is fun in itself, a spontaneous overflow of creative, imaginative energy. So too in some mysterious way it must be with the world. Like a child playing alone, God is the Cosmic Dancer, whose routine is all creatures and all worlds. From the tireless stream of Gods energy the cosmos flows in endless, graceful reenactement.

Lotus
On the day when the lotus bloomed, alas, my mind was straying,and I knew it not. My basket was empty and the flower remained unheeded.Only now and again a sadness fell upon me, and I started up from mydream and felt a sweet trace of a strange fragrance in the south wind.That vague sweetness made my heart ache with longing and it seemed tome that is was the eager breath of the summer seeking for its completion.I knew not then that it was so near, that it was mine, and that thisperfect sweetness had blossomed in the depth of my own heart.
~R. Tagore

“The mind's job is to validate what it thinks.â€
~Byron Katie
SensesDeliverance is not for me in renunciation.I feel the embrace of freedom in a thousand bonds of delight.Thou ever pourest for me the fresh draught of thy wine of variouscolours and fragrance, filling this earthen vessel to the brim.My world will light its hundred different lamps with thy flameand place them before the altar of thy temple.No, I will never shut the doors of my senses.The delights of sight and hearing and touch will bear thy delight.Yes, all my illusions will burn into illumination of joy,and all my desires ripen into fruits of love.
~R. Tagore
''Develop an interest in life as you see it ....
the world is so rich, simply throbbing
with rich treasures, beautiful souls and
interesting people.
Forget yourself.''
~Henry Miller
''Tenderness and kindness are not
signs of weakness and despair, but
manifestations of strength and resolutions.''
~Kahlil Gibran
"Out of suffering have emerged the strongest souls;
the most massive characters are seared with scars."
