About Me

“Tell me what you brag about and I'll tell you what you lack” -ProverbOne thing, all things: move among and intermingle, without distinction. To live in this realization is to be without anxiety about non-perfection. To live in this faith is the road to non-duality, Because the non-dual is one with the trusting mind -geniusIf we are not empty, we become a block of matter. We cannot breathe, we cannot think. To be empty means to be alive, to breathe in and to breathe out. We cannot be alive if we are not empty. Emptiness is impermanence, it is change. We should not complain about impermanence, because without impermanence, nothing is possible. “The kind of humor I like is the thing that makes me laugh for five seconds and think for ten minutes.”I cannot believe that the purpose of life is to be happy. I think the purpose of life is to be useful, to be responsible, to be compassionate. It is, above all to matter, to count, to stand for something, to have made some difference that you lived at all.The quieter you become, the more you can hear~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ With desire the world is tied down. With the subduing of desire it's freed.With the abandoning of desire All bonds are cut through.The greatest achievement is selflessness. The greatest worth is self-mastery. The greatest quality is seeking to serve others. The greatest precept is continual awareness. The greatest medicine is the emptiness of everything. The greatest action is not conforming with the worlds ways. The greatest magic is transmuting the passions. The greatest generosity is non-attachment. The greatest goodness is a peaceful mind. The greatest patience is humility. The greatest effort is not concerned with results. The greatest meditation is a mind that lets go. The greatest wisdom is seeing through appearances. AtishaThe Lotus Flower is the symbol of spiritual development. It is the symbol of the manifestation of beauty and mental purity (the ability to rise above) - for although it has its roots in the mud of ponds and lakes, it raises its flower in immaculate beauty above the surface of the water.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Develop the mind of equilibrium. You will always be getting praise and blame, but do not let either affect the poise of the mind: follow the calmness, the absence of pridei confess, i love: the obvious, lobstah, culture, music, birds, handwriting, eye glasses, bald men, funny people, the smell of rain, fire, cellars, cologne, gas, lemon, dictionaries, thesauruses, apples, johnson's baby lotion, chopsticks, people who care, contradiction, people who don't care, linguistics, the city, silence, zappos.com, basketball, biyoshi, buddhism, mindfulness, my pillow, lions, giraffes, fashion, travel channel, tea, learning, getting cards in the mail, sushi, givers, being genuine, Africa, freckles, napping, Boxers, St. Bernards, Cavalier Spaniels, children, dreadlocks, Asia...not such a fan of... people who think that age equals experience, gossip, entitlement, green olives, black licorice, negativity, people that can give it but can't take it, takers, narcissistic-borderline personality, people who care, people who don't care, cats, people who ride your ass on the highway, stealing, ignorance, racism. Many persons have a wrong idea of what constitutes true happiness. It is not attained through self-gratification but through fidelity to a worthy purpose - Helen Keller....Water which is too pure has no fish. Ts'ai Ken T'an.. One thing, all things: move among and intermingle, without distinction. To live in this realization is to be without anxiety about non-perfection. To live in this faith is the road to non-duality, Because the non-dual is one with the trusting mind.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We control the frequency of our energy through our thoughts, feelings and beliefs. If we are predominantly positive and feeling good, we are attracting like positive energy in every area of our lives. If we are in fear, powerlessness, blame, or any negative emotion, we are attracting like negative energy into our lives. As every simple thing is energy, positive energy draws positive people, circumstances and events into our lives. Negative energy attracts negative energy, which we will experience through negative people, circumstances, and events.
