Re: Quotations and Proverbs
This quotation brought to my mind the term "Recognition" that Leonard Laskow uses in the book Healing with Love. The fact that we can begin to heal our past hurts by calmly knowing what happened. Simply recognizing the truth.

Re: Quotations and Proverbs
In each moment we have the potential to be present, or to miss it. If we miss the moment, we never get it back, and when it happened we were essentially dead. Along the journey of evolution, we seemed to picked up the habit of not living in the moment, spending time either in the past, as memories, or in the future, as planning.

Re: Quotations and Proverbs
The most successful tyranny is not the one that uses force to assure uniformity but the one that removes the awareness of other possibilities, that makes it seem inconceivable that other ways are viable, that removes the sense that there is an outside.

Re: Quotations and Proverbs
Are you polluting the world or cleaning up the mess?
You are responsible for your inner space; nobody else is, just as you are responsible for the planet. As within, so without: If humans clear inner pollution, then they will also cease to create outer pollution. ~ Eckhart Tolle Blessings lightbeing |

If you use your mind to try and understand reality.
you will understand neither your mind nor reality. If you try and understand reality without using your mind. you will understand both your mind and reality. - Bodhidharma Namaste lightbeing |
