If we once, and for so long, lived in balance with nature and each other, we should be able to do so again - John Zerzan************We abuse land because we regard it as a commodity belonging to us. When we see land as a community to which we belong, we may begin to use it with love and respect - Aldo Leopold, A Sand County Almanac*******Whatsoever is contrary to nature is contrary to reason, and whatsoever is contrary to reason is absurd - Baruch Spinoza********If you are missing out on the natural joy and wisdom of life, it is because you have been taught to ignore it....Reconnecting with nature consists of bringing into your consciousness a sensory way of thinking and relating with which you are born - Michael J. Cohen***********Nature does not hurry, yet everything is accomplished - Lao Tzu***********When we inhale, the air comes into the inner world. When we exhale, the air goes out to the outer world. We say "inner world" or "outer world" but actually there is just one whole world… The air comes in and goes out like someone passing through a swinging door. If you think, "I breathe," the "I" is extra. There is no you to say "I."-Shunryu Suzuki-Zen mind Beginner's Mind***********************To find the meaning of your life is to find the meaning of your everyday activity—Shunryu Suzuki***********“The most important point is to own your own physical body. If you slump, you will lose yourself. Your mind will be wandering about somewhere else; you will not be in your body. This is not the way. We must exist right here, right now! This is the key point. You must have your own body and mind. Everything should exist in the right place, in the right way.†© Shunryu Suzuki, Zen Mind, Beginners Mind************If your mind is empty, it is always ready for anything; it is open to everything. In the beginner's mind there are many possibilities; in the expert's mind there are few.Shunryu Suzuki, Zen Mind, Beginners Mind************In the beginner's mind there is no thought, "I have attained something." All self-centered thoughts limit our vast mind. When we have no thought of achievement, no thought of self, we are true beginners. Then we can really learn something. The beginner's mind is the mind of compassion. When our mind is compassionate, it is boundless. Dogen-zenji, the founder of our school, always emphasized how important it is to resume our boundless original mind. Then we are always true to ourselves, in sympathy with all beings, and can actually practice. Shunryu Suzuki, Zen Mind, Beginners Mind************So the most difficult thing is always to keep your beginner's mind. There is no need to have a deep understanding of Zen. Even though you read much Zen literature, you must read each sentence with a fresh mind. You should not say, "I know what Zen is," or "I have attained enlightenment." This is also the real secret of the arts: always be a beginner. Be very very careful about this point. If you start to practice zazen, you will begin to appreciate your beginner's mind. It is the secret of Zen practice. Shunryu Suzuki**************In individuals, insanity is rare; but in groups, parties, nations and epochs, it is the rule. (Friedrich Nietzsche)**********Morality is the herd-instinct in the individual. (Friedrich Nietzsche) *********Precisely the least, the softest, lightest, a lizard's rustling, a breath, a flash, a moment - a little makes the way of the best happiness. (Friedrich Nietzsche) **********The "kingdom of Heaven" is a condition of the heart - not something that comes "upon the earth" or "after death." (Friedrich Nietzsche) ***************The Christian resolution to find the world ugly and bad has made the world ugly and bad. (Friedrich Nietzsche)*********** Any fool can make a law and any fool will follow it. (HDT)*********** To make a beast of yourself will make you loose all the pains of being a human. (dr. Johnson)******** Breathe out so i can breathe you in.(FF)********* You can turn your back on a human, but you can never turn your back on a drug..... especially when it's waving a razor sharp hunting knife in your eye. (Hunter Thompson)******** America... just a nation of two hundred million used car salesmen with all the money we need to buy guns and no qualms about killing anybody else in the world who tries to make us uncomfortable. (Hunter S. Thompson)******** hate to advocate drugs, alcohol, violence, or insanity to anyone, but they've always worked for me. (Hunter S. Thompson)*********** It was the Law of the Sea, they said. Civilization ends at the waterline. Beyond that, we all enter the food chain, and not always right at the top. (Hunter S. Thompson)************* Fear is just another word for ignorance.(hunter s. thompson)************ Did you see Bush on TV, trying to debate? Jesus, he talked like a donkey with no brains at all...It was pitiful...I almost felt sorry for him, until I heard someone call him 'Mr. President,' and then I felt ashamed.(HST)******** Bush is a natural-born loser with a filthy-rich daddy who pimped his son out to rich oil-mongers. He hates music, football and sex, in no particular order, and he is no fun at all.(HST)********* "We are turning into a nation of whimpering slaves to Fear -- fear of war, fear of poverty, fear of random terrorism, fear of getting down-sized or fired because of the plunging economy, fear of getting evicted for bad debts, or suddenly getting locked up in a military detention camp on vague charges of being a Terrorist sympathizer."(HST)*********** "Who does vote for these dishonest shitheads?"(HST)*************
