#1 - We may be but grains of sands in the wider scheme of things, but behold our real power, for without us there would be no wider anything!
#2 - He that brings himself to kill a man is no less than a destroyer of whole worlds.
#3 - Beware of those that do not sell reality, for they must be selling fantasies.
#5 - You imagine everything - especially those things that you believe to know.
#7 - To see and join the greater scheme of things, sometimes one must first remove themselves from the greater scheme of things, so as to see what they are not.
#11 - Man can be described as the resulting encapsulation of pi with an onion.
#12 - Life is change. To live then, is to become aware of the experience of change; to become a-perceptive.
#16 - Instead of looking to blame someone for the past, find someone that will take responsibility for the future.
#17 - Time isn't initially infinite because one is always going to believe they can make choices. It becomes infinite when the choices have already been made, in as much as they are always being made by the same strong intentions. Humble are they who still make choices, for they are still in the confines of a linear world.
#18 - Nothing has face value.
#21 - A lie is easy to live with at first, but gets harder to live with in time. The truth is hard to live with at first, but gets easier to live with in time.
#25 - You are either the expanding comprehension of encapsulated expressions experienced as explosive compressions of understanding, or have yet to understand how compressed explosive experiences can be expressed to encapsulate the comprehension of the expanding you..
#27 - The brain is a powerful calculator, but deals poorly with perception. It can add things to reality that don't really exist as well as subtracting things that do. It can multiply the importance of some things, whilst enabling value comparison and divisions of others. Real truth then, is something that cannot be found by searching for it, as all perception is interpreted by the same miscalculating instrument. Truth can only be received when it is accepted as it is, and not calculated by other means. In this way, truth comes to those who allow its existence.
#31 - Religion says that it controls reality through the help of a powerful book of great power and other things that no one else understands, using the banner "Accept our version of reality".
Science says that it controls reality through the help of powerful machines and other things that no one else understands, using the banner "Accept our version of reality".
Government says that it controls reality through the help of systems and laws that no one else understands, using the banner "Accept our version of reality".
As religion imposes order onto chaos, it takes itself further from reality. As science imposes chaos onto order, it takes itself further from reality. As government imposes culture onto life, it takes us further from our selves.
#32 - Faith, just like fear, really is its own reward.
#33 - Life is not really separated by space, because it does not really exist in time. Living objects can appear in the changing time of the mind as individual segments, but life always exists as a single multidimensional fabric creating itself in lower dimensional complexity out of itself in higher complexity. The irony of this humbling relationship is that although both life and time are incredibly powerful when together, they are less than zero alone. Life needs time to grow and time needs life to know.
#34 - Sometimes something isn't something, until it's next to nothing.
#37 - For something to have meaning in modern society, it must usually have an end or conclusion. Only then can it be attributed measured value and significance. The eternal systems that create man himself that cannot be measured or fathomed, are perceived as pointless and meaningless and so are devalued in the broadest ways. Scarcity precludes the order of this day.
#39 - When a system is founded on deceit and illusionary power, it will see itself everywhere. Since a darkness shared is a darkness halved, it will seek to surround itself with allies.
#40 - A hungry mind is an alert mind. Satisfaction then, breeds stupidity.
#42 - Imagination that is forced to operate within predetermined limits is not imagination, it is programming. Programs hold no real knowledge, only instructions. Instructions don't grow, they just fade away.
#46 - Most people don't want to understand truth, they just want to own it. By holding ideas in memory temporarily like this they come to believe that they possess some valuable object that inherently transfers value to its owner. Little do they know that truth is weightless and has the viscosity of water allowing it to take the form of its container, but not necessarily affect its momentum. The mistake made by those who believe they have allowed truth to slip between their fingers, is that truth lies somewhere in the concrete hallways of the past or vast oceans of yet unclaimed lands in the future.
#51 - Even though sane people can be difficult to spot in today's society, there are some things that only obviously sane people would do. I have seen what sane people can do, and it's enough to make you crazy.
#53 - What appears as madness to some, can be the result of methodical planning, tireless research and unbounded passion of others.
#54 - Sugar and salt, sweet and sour, pleasure and pain. Both are products of a society that has lost the boundary between the needs of the body and the purpose of the mind.
#57 - If the infinite seems to boggle, consider that which lies beyond it; the finite world of the measuring mind.
#59 - Sometimes the things that don't talk, are far more real than the things that do.
#60 - We may all be living the waking experience of a dreaming self.
#61 - For deep thinkers, the soul is truly an ocean without limit. Take care then, to regularly come up for air.
#65 - Without words, God is life. With words, God is man.
#70 - The brain is not a muscle. Don't try to use it as one.
#72 - The end of the world as we know it will be when we are awakened as a people - and not as territories. All possession will be banished and life as a connected system will be realised as the only true reality. Alleluia.
#74 - Relativity. It's no good teaching people equality if you don't teach them self respect. With out self respect they will appear worthless to themselves and the idea of equality will enforce that all those around them must be the same. We will always give ourselves what we believe we deserve so if one cannot find the beauty within themselves, they will either believe that beauty does not exist and so it does not exist in anyone else either, or that it does exist but only in others.
#77 - If there is only one accepted moment - that of the here and now, it might be the moment bubble of flux that we exist in for the duration of this sensation of being, in-between the past of what was, and the emergence of what will be. This might mean that death is an illusion - since we will only ever experience life and non-life. Then again, perhaps the final change is like a birth; not the end of something, but more the beginning of something else. (Thanks to T.Mckenna)
#78 - Before something can be understood, it must be imagined. Subsequently, everything that is understood was first imagined and the only limit on understanding is that placed on imagination itself. Imagination is limited only by experience, and experience is only limited by you.
#79 - Look into yourself, not just at yourself. Look into the universe, not just at the universe. Look into life, not just at life. Surely if these things mean anything, then they must mean everything.
#84 - Where average theology would suggest that we are limited forms in infinite time, I would suggest we may be infinite forms in limited time.
#85 - Words can sometimes get in the way of a good conversation.
#86 - Sometimes I am convinced that the only thing that really exists in all the cosmos, is doubt. But even doubt might have a purpose, as a waking reminder of what we can never be.
#87 - The size of a persons mind is directly proportional to their imagined world - not their perceived one. This is why the idea of the 'infinite' becomes so important.
#88 - When you allow yourself to be who ever you want to be, you may find that you begin to become who you are.
#90 - The most ironic thing about the unknown, is that it remains unknown because it is ignored, just as easily as ants are ignored underfoot.
#94 - Through the course of life, the brain gets younger whilst the heart gets older. The implications of this are beyond description.
#98 - Sometimes it saddens me to think that 99% of natures beauty has yet to be discovered, and especially so when I consider the 1% margin of error.
#105 - Be careful what you wish for. Dreams have a way of coming true.
#106 - Time doesn't always run out; sometimes it slips quietly through your fingers.
#111 - It only takes one to start everything, one is the last thing before nothing and as such will be the last that is left standing. One then, is the cause of the beginning, the truth of the in-between and the meaning and name of the end.
#113 - Life is not a race. We all relatively start and finish at the same time so it may be that the journey of being is what is important, not so the apparent length of existence.
#114 - Sometimes those things that gain a value, automatically lose their meaning.
#115 - For the novice and experienced alike, it is difficult to follow the way of Zen when you have half the world shouting at you in one ear, and another half whispering in the other.
#117 - All lies grow old. Only the truth stays the same.
#118 - One of the hardest things one can do is trust themselves, because trust is something earned over time and is embedded with respect and care. The easier answer, obedience, is blind to wisdom or growth, is usually available immediately and enforced globally. Teach obedience and you will grow a want for weakness and resentment. Teach trust and you will grow a want of love and understanding.
#120 - Man is the only animal who's brain has overtaken him. The desire created by the brain for both passive and aggressive reasons now over shadows the truth of mans heart. The dark desires of mans past now have all the time in the world to root themselves back in the present to hinder and shred the possible future beyond. We have to stop entertaining ourselves.
#121 - The only thing that can keep us from truth is ourselves. Society convinces many that truth does not exist and so fantasies are plenty. In the end, it is only ourselves that we fool.
#122 - Only lies can be ugly. Real truth is beauty eternal..
#124 - Man seems to be waiting for his past to catch up with him, before he realises what he is doing with himself and his world. Man is enjoying a long and expensive meal, and hasn't yet realised what the price will be.
#125 - Throughout my earthly existence I sought to try all that I had the taste for, until I had nothing left to try. Only then, did I realise that nothing, was the one thing that held everything I had ever really needed.
#126 - The only way to get something done is to choose to do it. The act of choice opens clear the way to the act. When one allows a choice to be made by someone or something else, the way will be littered with doubts, hopes and fears. When life is one of choosing, it may open up to be much more of one thing and much less of another.
#127 - Nothing is as it first is. Change is the only certainty, whether or not it is consciously detected.
#128 - Does God exist? You cannot say. Does life outside this planet exist? You cannot say. Do you exist? You must say.
#131 - Behind the beginning and the end of unconsciousness, is a place without a beginning or an end. It is the truth before description.
#134 - The more I learn, the more I realise how little I know. In this way, even ignorance brings with it, a true sense of wisdom.
#135 - When something is believed, it becomes powerful because it is no longer in flux, it becomes solid. When we seek power, we gain it by holding onto strong beliefs in our minds whilst we perceive the world, and so gain a measure of things as we perceive them, but not always as they really are.
#136 - An imagination that is not impinged by desire burns clear instead of in the colour of the corresponding need. This way we can see the self experience for what it is, by understanding what it is not.
#137 - An unbalanced mind can be healed by balancing the body, as an unbalanced body can be healed by balancing the mind. Direction and spirit heal the mind body, akin perhaps to velocity and position?
#138 - Sometimes man appears to be an object for concern, study or ridicule. At other times, he is a living expression of times possibilities.
#139 - Interpretations are commonly mistaken for facts.
#140 - Knowledge is recall. Intelligence is imagination.
#141 - Before you can deal with the world, you must first deal with yourself. Before you can see the world, you must first see yourself. All is change, so you are never the same person you were. Why would the rest of the world be any different?
#145 - It is a great shame of Man that he seems intent on finding all that is unique and rare, and making it conform to a general standard approved by those who fear the unfamiliar.
#146 - Government seems to work on the assumption that all people are children that need to be led and controlled. In fact, people that decide to make their own decisions are separated and dealt with. What will happen when all people realise that they are free to make decisions?
#148 - To see in black and white is to see contrasts. To see in colour is to see in similarities.
#149 - If every country in the world worked towards enriching its neighbors, traveling from place to place would be like never leaving the home world.
#151 - Not all thinking and moving occur in the present tense Sometimes we come to conclusions, and sometimes conclusions come to us. To be in the habit of receiving conclusions is to be reliving the past. To be creating conclusions is a way of experiencing the future.
#153 - The beginning and ends of things are as essential as the first word in a sentence, the ideas separated by comas in the center, and the full stop at the end. Perhaps life and death are bound in such a way. Perhaps man is born and dies every day and what we take for dreams, are the coma experience of eternity on another plane of existence.
#154 - A holiday is often a time spent away from memory, the caretaker of objects, in attempts to experience more deep, intense and meaningful moments of being.
#155 - Man is the being able to experience the peace of oneness, the mind of God, away from the hell horde of burning desires. While we are kept apart by competition, we will only experience life as a perception of many, instead of an eternal understanding of one.
#160 - Science sees life as a series of complex memory machines, and so becomes a series of complex memory machines.
Religion sees life as a relationship between master and servant, and so becomes a relationship between master and servant.
Government sees itself as a system of old ideas leading the new ideas, and so becomes a society of fathers and sons.
#164 - I have only ever been able to draw my life. It is the only thing I am qualified to describe.
#166 - All things are measured by a ruler.
#167 - The difference between meaning and ambiguity is planar.
#170 - Good and bad, dark and light are just different ways of looking at the world. There are others.
#171 - Even silence can be overwhelming.
#172 - Desire quickens the passage of time. When your mind is free of desire, it shows the true reflection of your eternal soul.
#174 - We don't always have to go to the dream. Sometimes the dream comes to us.
#176 - The secret of FEAR is that it is memory dependent. Without a past, you cannot fear the future, and without a future you cannot fear the past. Fear then, exists only as a result of imagined cognition and not of the reality of the flowing moment.
#177 - Competition is the animal that man has failed to shed. It is the lie that keeps us all in the infantile state of fighting ourselves.
#178 - The future and past may be up for speculation, but the present moment cannot be denied.
#180 - The only certainty of the unknown is that of its inescapable existence. This is the metaphorical stone the explorer hangs his coat on everyday.
#181 - The last thing we ever do is wake from eternity. Until then, we live the dream of a union of self and selves. Until then, life and love are the dream.
#182 - Those who seek truth find God.
They that seek God find words.
Those who seek words find lies.
They who seek lies, find themselves.
Those who seek themselves, find truth.
#185 - All is wonder, do not lie, to do some else is to deny,
The chance most honored, given thyne, as blessed are we when given time,
So open slather to be clear, and press the truths you need to hear,
Would you be real you must enjoy, as to be dead is to destroy.
#187 - You are the path, and the vehicle in its wake is the human ego mind creating impressions on your journey.
#188 - There is a place outside of time, that can be called timeless. There is a place outside mind, that can be called mindless. There is a place outside the self, which can be called selfless. Consider then, that all these possibilities exist in the same place, at the same time and in the same person. Consider the road on which you walk.
#189 - Sometimes those things that we believe are bigger than ourselves appear more real than those things that we believe are smaller than ourselves. Thus the illusion of measurement continues.
#191 - How ironic that as technology advances, human intelligence diminishes. All technology depends on the slavery of its users, and always - always comes at the cost of freedom, health, awareness and truth. How simple then, the message that wisdom springs out of self awareness, self reliance and self expression. True enlightenment then, is not just always within reach, it is closer than you think.
#194 - You are not the only thing that exists. There is an entire process going on that is part of you and you of it. There are others in this soup of reality. If only we could put aside our own misunderstandings of ourselves.
#196 - Everything that ever really happens, happens in you.
#198 - When a persons' lower thoughts are able to contact their higher feelings, they cease to be one thing, and become all things.
#200 - One of the most difficult things that the conscious mind can face is the darkness of its own unconscious, until it realises that it is itself the light that creates the shadow of unconsciousness.
#202 - It can sometimes be difficult to look for joy, especially when one considers the suffering of others. Ironically, it is the knowledge of this suffering that should instill the greatest amount of joy in a person, as it brings the responsibility for all men to create a joy within themselves to counter act the effect of others' suffering. To enjoy for those who cannot.
#204 - One cannot hold truth as one holds a ball or a gun, because truth is that which does the holding, not that which is being held. Perhaps that is why truth is more often beheld by the rare individual, and not so much by the larger populace.
#205 - Everything that grows, grows from the bottom - up, not the top - down. To grow a healthy flower, one feeds the roots. It does no good to feed the head if the roots are starving.
Just as to grow a healthy society, one should feed the roots. It does no good to feed the rich whilst the poor are suffering. All strong growth begins at the bottom.
#206 - No one nose what I nose.
#207 - If you can convince a man that he is an animal, he will act like an animal. If you can convince a man that he is a God, he will act like a God. If you can convince a man to kill and die like a soldier, he will act like a slave.
#208 - Man is a creature who has allowed the issues of his own mind to spill forth into the physical world where these misunderstandings manifest themselves in flesh and form. The systems of Elemental Nature cannot compete against the chaos of Man's hidden domain. Only by battling his own daemons, can Man reverse this process and return nature to her former beauty and spirit. In this way, the battle begins and ends in the minds and hearts of all men.
#209 - In youth, we all spent time in our minds with our imagination - the realms of light and magic that we were told meant nothing. Today science tells us that when light is focused enough, it forms a laser. Why is it that the same conclusion is so difficult to relate to the focusing of mind?
#210 - A vehicle in the ocean of water is slow to maneuver due to the density of its surrounding structure. Once the craft can rise to the next ocean, that of air, travel becomes easier and faster - but still limited by the fabric of the surrounding structure, until the craft has enough energy to reach the next ocean. The path to light speed then, is through the attainment of critical mass in acceleration through space.
Consider then, that the unconscious is an ocean filled with thought that is dark and difficult to navigate. As consciousness is raised to a higher state (subconscious?) , it reaches thoughts with feeling, which for most humans is easier to navigate. It is through higher feelings, that the next ocean is reached. The path to Enlightenment then, is through the attainment of critical mass in awareness of self.
#211 - Time in the general sense, is a measurement. Since all measurements are an approximation of an invented method of memory collation for the purposes of cognition, they are not real, but are generalised ideas sculpted from the available language of symbolic representation. Age then - is not anymore real than is a meter or a mile, it is a unit of measure that only exists as a comparison to other units of measure. So the next time you are told to 'act your age', remember the foolishness of this concept.
#212 - Reality, unlike most human interactions, is not an act, it is the whole play.
#213 - Surely a 'game' can be defined as an activity bound by a set of rules that hope to determine an outcome. With this in mind, legal processes are a game, war is a game and even religious ceremonies seem to fall into this category. Life though, does not come with a set of rules as such, and so does not start out as a game. Notice though, how easily it can be turned into one.
#214 - The difference between mind and matter is obvious. Matter is the hard constructions of atomic building blocks, and mind is the space between them. Mind then, becomes an expression of how matter relates to its others.
#215 - Conscious understanding progresses in levels and each one provides a particular perspective according to its function. To achieve higher levels, the conscious awareness must give up what it believes it has - power. Only then can it allow itself the benefit of a higher state.
#216 - To consider the ripples on the water more important than the falling stone that made them, is to mistake the echo of life as more important than the truth of it.
#217 - Time is the great mystery. Chuang-Tzu once dreamt he was a butterfly flying happily among trees. It was such a vivid dream that he awoke to find himself wondering if he had been a man dreaming he was a butterfly, or was a butterfly dreaming he was a man. For the more reasonable, the story can be given as how light can be both a particle and a wave. The key in both cases is the same.
#218 - So technology turns out to be the great evil that will eventually ruin man. Ironic really, to see how all technology destroys life, enslaves and divides life but is still argued as mans' greatest triumph. It would seem that the planet will need at least one more shake before it wakes.
#219 - Through the passages of time you will have many fronts, but you should only ever have one back.
#220 - Life really is a love affair of the mind in the space of a body for the moment of the soul.
#221 - The majority of a western persons life can be spent experiencing the space between moments. If a true moment can be defined as an experience of conscious awareness, then western life can be seen to promote the space between these moments as the ideal to follow.
Eastern meditation teaches ways of experiencing both the moments and the space between them as one continuous stream, and thus gain a more holistic view of all things.
#223 - You can see the light of truth and hear the truth of love, but it is generally more difficult to hear the light of truth or to see the truth of love.
#224 - Those who spend their life time trying to be smart are bound to failure. You are never as smart as when you are born and time is the natural slow process of forgetting. Something you can grow and keep through life is the wisdom of love.
#225 - The body does not know how to feel badly, it is taught this from other sources. It cannot feel nothing either, as it is a force of living energy. Perhaps the focus of meditation can begin with seeking the true feeling of neutral which by this account could be a blissful experience of certain luck.
#226 - A parent would do well to ask their child what they want from life and then help them attain it, instead of telling them what they want and making them do it.
#227 - For you to remember something, you must admit that it occurred in the first place. An event or sensation that you deny becomes a disassociated memory with an awareness of itself as existing, but separate from the main 'group'. Memory then, and the living entities that it creates are sometimes our eternal companions throughout our entire earth experience.
#228 - Before something can exist in the mind it must have form, even something like God. For you to exist then, you must also have form. Form is an Earthly experience.
#229 - Memories are like the shadows playing around the conscious lamp fire of our earthly visit.
#230 - Life is like the string of a kite, that is sometimes held to the ground by the weight of memory, and other times glides silently in the winds of possibilities.
#232 - Enlightenment comes when the conscious mind realises that it is not in control of anything, and so can accept all things as they are and flow with the change that is time.
#233 - You can't write in the dark, but you can draw.
#234 - The body's cognition circuits are well adapted to cognise anything they have a form symbol with which to play with, except when it gives form to its self and its own readings. The mind is a measuring device of wavelengths so If asked to measure 'itself' with only having comparative measurements with which to judge, it can fall into a spiral loop of measuring the immeasurable and create a truth that has little to do with the reality of the matter.
#235 - There exists a truth for the self, and the truth of the other. The truth for the self is that all things are always changing. The truth of all other is that it always stays the same.
#237 - Evil may well be a verb, not a noun.
#238 - Plants provide us with an atmosphere to breathe, food for us to eat and shelter for us to sleep. Why would anyone, even for a moment, doubt that they might also have the ability to make us smarter?
#239 - Is it just coincidence that the smallest minds commonly have the loudest voices?
#240 - Art that is stationary, is a snapshot of a living moment. In this way, it moves us while it stays still. This movement in us is called E-motion and its chaotic nature helps us grow through meaning. The awakening effects of this art are called Em-pathy.
Art that moves, is an engram of a past moment. In this way, it moves while we stay still. This motion is called A-notion and its ordered nature makes us remember through habits. The sleeping effects of this art are called A-pathy.
#241 - Sleep may very well be nature's way of helping us to forget or let go of a past that no longer exists, so we can better deal with a future that we cannot possibly imagine.
#242 - A problem is something that a person imagines out of their transient understanding and belief in a given moment. It becomes real if our role in the understanding of the situation is difficult to overcome, and we create further things that do not belong to the here and now, but are of the there and then.
#243 - I once believed in spiritual moments, until I came to understand the moments of the spirit.
#244 - It is occult teaching that we are beings of light. If we are the light, then that which is around us would be the dark, as darkness starts where light ends. When there is more darkness than light, things are called scary and strange and one seeks control. When there is more light than darkness, things look inviting, heavenly and one is without worry. Where there is the right amount of each, a universe begins.
#245 - Just as Satan might actually be God in disguise, and God might be Satan in disguise, might truth be a lie in disguise, as a lie is truth in disguise?
#249 - Nature is what reality really is, it is why reality really is, and it is how reality really is.
#251 - Each layer of mind has its own respective memory, and so there are different types of memory for each plane of mind. This is why experiences on higher planes of mind cannot be recalled by the lower minds, as their memories do not contain the associated experiences, but rather the remaining ego reactions to the experiences.
#252 - Our actions create grooves or paths in the structure of our brains so that after a while, experiences become habituated, that is, they become the result of chance, and not will.
#253 - Man's long term problem is that he still does not know how to relate to himself, let alone his environment. The easy alternative, is to look outwards and in doing so man sees himself in darkness - in the form of his desire. Perhaps this is why when man looks at a forest, he sees a car park?
#254 - Spirituality is about being one with the spirit, not two of the body or three in the mind.
#255 - The price of science is industry.
#256 - The nature of reality is balance.
#257 - The road to truth is to feel what you think. You will know your thoughts are clear when such are your feelings.
#258 - The 'word' is what religion sees as the 'light' that brings the human experience out from the 'darkness' of nature, and creates the 'heaven' of imagination. Here in this place of light and shadow, play the angels and devils.
#259 - The only reason you forget things, is that you remember them later.
#260 - Above and below are the same place, with any difference amounting to the enigma of perspective.
#261 - Uncertainty is a nice place to be, a safe haven of sorts to be preferred over certainty in most situations. Those who are certain of something, are bound to wait an eternity for that certainty to end.
#262 - The ultimate conclusion of desire is death. All desire appears as a light lit in the absent darkness of an otherwise beautiful truth.
#263 - Do not become an alter of truth to be worshipped, for this is to defy all else. Do for yourself the worshipping of truth, and the alter will appear.
#265 - In the end, commerce makes whorses of us all.
#266 - The closer one looks at something, the more one sees right through it.
#267 - All people are artists. The reason more people do not create, is that all people are also critics.
#268 -The truth of the matter, is that there is no inside or outside, there is only here and there.
#269 - I went looking for my soul, and to my surprise, my soul found me.
#270 - The difference between a normal man and a wise one is that the wise man does not wait for the world to change, he waits for it to catch up.
#271 - Everything that exists naturally, knows of itself.
#272 - It is common enough thought that the best way to beat a bad man, is by being worse than he.
#273 - What you see is different from what you see through.
#274 - The smaller we get, the bigger everything else looks. Thus continues the illusion of perspective.
#275 - When a foolish man smiles, he is smiling at himself. When he laughs, he is laughing at the world.
When a wise man smiles, he is smiling at the world. When he laughs, he is laughing at himself.
#276 - Media creates a world where all things are a con-promise
#277 - Sometimes you are only as big as you are small.
#278 - How ironic it is that if heaven really does exist and really is eternal, then it should exist right now, as it has always done so. If heaven only begins when we die, then it cannot be but ephemeral and so much more like life than like death.
#279 - The idea about mind being the same thing as the body is akin to hammering a nail into your chest just so that you can hang a picture from it - a picture that you believe you drew of a mind inside a body.
#280 - Always love your body. Your body is heaven on earth. Just don't get fat.
#281 - Truth never disappears, it is you that spirals away from it.
#282 - Truth isn't about understanding something new, its about a new understanding of what already is, true.
#283 - Truth doesn't need protecting. When you try to protect truth, you enclose it in a prison, away from the freedom to be found.
#284 - Mind is where all things happen - and mind is time. Truth is what happens in your time, and love is the way you react to it.
#285 - The body gets tired of laughing - the mind never does.
#286 - The truth of life is that it was only ever, a moment.
#287 - Life is a process of wearing out.
#288 - There is always a part of you that is new, and there is always a part of you that is old. How could it be any other way?
#289 - There is no difference between a lie and a mistake. If mistakes are a natural part of human life, then perhaps lies are also.
#290 - If your life is one of seeking pleasure and quick satisfaction, then you are alone.
If your life is a journey, then you are not alone.
If your life is a dream, then nothing is real.
If your life is a trial, then no one is real.
#291 - Consciousness heals, like a wake along the edge of darkness.
#292 - You only fail when you give up.
#293 - Both the dream and the nightmare are created at the same time, as without the one, there would be no other.
#294 - You are only lost if you are trying to get somewhere that you are presently not.
#295 - Keys grow, while the locks remain the same.
#296 - If absolutely anything can be said about any given moment and at any given time, what is the point in saying anything at all?
#297 - Tame the beast, or the beast will tame you.
#298 - To meditate is to be in the continual process of anticipating the unexpected.
#299 - Clarity releases a soul from the trappings of perspective.
#300 - Sometimes it is in the moment of clear ignorance in which one feels the biggest sense of freedom.
#301 - All realities depend on the questions asked, and not the answers given.
#302 - Real men don't wear hats.
#303 - Power brings amplification. Some people do not need amplification.
#304 - Mind is subtlety personified.
#305 - Human life involves the entertainment of possibilities.
#306 - We sometimes want what we believe we don't already have. It's a good good thing then, that we are born with everything we need.
#307 - Each time you describe reality, you tear a piece of it away from the whole.
#308 - The one true power is resistance.
#309 - We sometimes love those things that we are afraid of.
#310 - They that wield truth can never be defeated, because it is the nature of lies to make mistakes. Lies are themselves in essence, mistakes.
#311 - Science can make you smart, because 'smart' is the ability to manipulate information.
Love can make you wise, because 'wise' is the ability to free information.
#312 - The world is learning to breathe.
#313 - There are four reasons to love, and one reason to hate, four reasons to give and one to take.
#314 - Its all a matter of time. Everything is a matter of time. Life is a matter of time.
#315 - Man once tip toed through the world like an angel. Now he holds and claws at it like a vulture.
#316 - Sometimes religion can appear to be more about the messenger than the message.
#318 - Mans nature is evident in his methods and technology. The accepted reaction by a man to a creature exploring the cosmos is to poison it, step on it or hit it with something. Perhaps Man remains angry at those things which he feels are beyond his understanding, and so considered less than worthless to him.
#319 - Hand onto Caesar, that which is Caesar's, as you give the body to the body and give the mind to the soul.
#320 - Insanity is a term used to describe one persons behavior that does not meet another persons expectations. So one mind measuring another mind. If mind (all minds) is the unique subjective experience of life, how can any one mind accurately measure another? And even if the measurement seems accurate, what makes it real enough to be brought out of the symbolic mental world to have its constructed reality enforced in the physical world of the body?
#321 - I was thinking about how time was not what I thought it was, when I realised that only thought was what I thought it was.
#322 - You cannot fear the unknown - fear is specific - you fear what you already know.
#323 - The doer, the mover, the shaker and baker,
The salesman, the builder, the candlestick maker.
#324 - Don't apologise for the past. If you must apologise, do it once and do it for the future, and then return to making good mistakes and not bad ones.
#325 - There are simple treasures and there are complicated treasures. One can normally expect to find the bigger ones after learning to recognise the smaller ones.
#326 - Conversations with the 'Other'.
* You know less than you think you do.
~ Yes, I can see how that is true, and it frees me somehow from some virtual responsibility. I feel more real now.
* So you have noticed that knowing little is actually quite a good thing.
~ Yes, but why is that so?
* Because it is infinitely better than thinking that you know something, but actually knowing nothing.
~ Don't you mean that's its twice as good?
* I mean, its infinitely better.
#327 - Dvast8, or 'the vast infinite' - a lock within a key found on the path to clarity, given freely as a gift to others.
#328 - I once wore wisdom like a crown, when I could have held it like a staff. That way I could use it to stand, as a shield and a weapon, but still be able to put it down when I did not immediately require it. To walk with wisdom as an aid is not mandatory, but it helps to have it handy.
#329 - When is a penis not a penis? When its a prick.
#330 - The bane of the philosopher is that he believes his vision is superior to others, and so he strives to sight.
The bane of the hedonist is that he believes his pleasure is superior to others, and so he strives to taste.
The bane of the lover is that he believes his word is superior to others, and so he strives to sound.
In each case, the one believes he is the master, when in fact he is the slave. After all, only a slave would boast about having a master.
#331 - 'Nowhere' is a place, often visited by the masses.
#332 - Consciousness is a reducing valve created by closer and closer inspection.
#333 - When peace is the destination, the path becomes peaceful.
When chaos is the destination, the path becomes chaotic.
#334 - It is the curse of men that they sometimes forget the gentlest parts of their nature.
#335 - Don't be where you want to be, be where you are. Be a where instead of a what.
#336 - The fool celebrates early - the wise man leaves it till last.
#337 - Do not look to the now
the now does not need looking to
it knows where it is
it in fact holds you, not you it
feel the space you inhabit
feel it not just to love or hate it
accept it as it needs to be
free yourself from the responsibility to change it
allow it and you to be what you are
not what you think you should be.
free your other, and you free yourself.
#337 - A good nature prevents bad actions. All thought and action is guided by nature and bound by it. Freedom from nature is the experience of environment; a long varying chain of simulated elemental changes.
#338 - The only thing that you are not, is what is left aside from creation itself.
#339 - How does a nose talk? It points.
How do eyes talk? They move.
How do ears talk? They listen.
How does a mouth talk? It doesn't.
#340 - Does pleasure bring joy? Or does it bring death?
Does pleasure bring wisdom? Or does it invite ignorance?
Does pleasure build for the future? Or does it maintain a past?
What is the cost of making pleasure the main driving force in a persons life.
#341 - Those who turn east seek something.
Those who turn west find something.
Those who turn north lose something.
Those who turn south become something.
#342 - They that do not question, do not know and will never know.
They that question do not know either but they are open to suggestion.
They that know, do not question and often try to forget.
#343 - "I dare do all that may become a man
They that dare do more are none" - Shakespeare.
#344 - If linear time is real, then the only way to speak the truth is to speak only of the present moment. The present moment only yields to description and you can only ever describe what it appears to be, where it appears to be heading or how it might have arisen. There is more than one path out of unreality and back home.
#355 - We try and understand our dream by the images it gives us, as it tries to understand us by the choices that we make.
#357 - There is a light that never dies, and a fire that rises and sets.
#359 - To be carefree is to be free of words and actions. To be hate free is to be free of number and measurement. Numbers come from our vanity and words our distortion. When one can be tempered and the other fine tuned, they can exist naturally and harmoniously with all things.
#360 - Yawning might not be so much of someone falling asleep, as much as someone waking up.
#361 - Governments don't wake up, people wake up.
#362 - Some men spend their lives looking to get away from their biology and in every way, try to dampen, depress, distract, distort and numb themselves out of existence. It may come a time when men find a way to destroy their biology altogether and merge instead with the crystalline earth in the hopes of extending their reach. These men will dilute slowly into the bowls of time.
Some men spend their lives awakening to their biology and sense in every way, the importance and divinity of their situation. It may come a time when the man and the biology will have to part, and it will be a moment of eternal gratitude and love for the precious moment that they were able to share. These men will have found the reason they existed, and that alone may take them beyond the sound of time.
#367 - My reason hides emotion as my emotion hides my reason, which is to say that the one is unconscious of the other as polarities. The force of the magnetic field emitted by this duality is 'desire' and as we strengthen desire, we strengthen the field. Without desire, the field shrinks towards its center where it can know itself inside the sensing organism, the human body. Allowing the field to return to its natural, neutral information collecting function, it can assist both the biology and the logical, making man a biologically based cosmos.
#368 - When a fool speaks, he gives away the keys to his kingdom. Little does the fool have to say, even though he may spend many hours speaking.
#369 - How does one know that what he hears in his heart is the truth, when every sound that the heart makes is in itself a dream come true?
How does one know that what he sees in his heart is the truth, when every light that the heart makes is in itself a dream come true?
#370 - When you are somewhere else, you are someone else.
#371 - All men are masters, but only of themselves. All men are fools, but only of themselves.
#372 - Even perfection becomes a shadow in time. What then, of eternity?
#373 - Sometimes you don't need your eyes to know where you are.
#374 - Heaven is created when angels coax demons into kindness. Hell is created when demons coax angels into kindness.
Demons think that they are all alone. Angels think that they are all together.
Demons want to bring them down to them. Angels want to bring them up to them.
Demons thrive by controlling them. Angels thrive by freeing them.
#375 - Everything works when you get it right.
#376 - Do not try to stop thinking, just to think softly. Do not try to stop feeling, just to feel softly. Do not try to stop talking, just to talk softly. Do not try to stop moving, just to move softly. In gentleness, all things are achieved. Gentleness is always found in harmony.
#377 - The foot that is largest is not always the best foot. The tree that is tallest is not always the best tree. The eye that is clearest is not always the best eye. The road that is shortest is not always the best road. The mouth that is widest is not always the best mouth. The tongue that is sharpest is not always the best tongue. Sometimes what seems like fulfillment, is only a step towards a tree that is seen on a road and is spoken of in taste of the passing moment.
#378 - Some Men fall from mountains made high by the accumulation of their misunderstandings. Some Men argue about the stars while their families are left on the ground. Some Men cry at the blood of a dog or a whale, but not at the blood of a fish or a tree. Some Men want what they don't have while knowing little of where they stand. Some Men lie with the mouths that give them the vital breath of life. Some Men die holding tight the heads that so utterly failed them.
#380 - Scientists love numbers and building things as they impose their choices on all things. They love the geometric shapes that the organised symbolic information makes when it is constructed and reconstructed in their imaginations. They may not realise that the space they are using for their daily obsessions is already "inhabited", and if they could but stop forcing their wills upon it and allow things to take on shapes of their own, they might find the ancient language of Gaiya, the star planet who's destiny we all share.
#381 - The first law of thermodynamics says that you can't win, while the second law of thermodynamics says that you can't even break even. If there is no chance of winning, then there is no loss, only certainty. In certainty is found peace that allows the acceptance of all things. In summation, there really is nothing to lose in the anything of everything.
#382 - Sometimes it doesn't matter whether you are running to something or from something, you still receive the workout needed to grow.
#383 - Desire cares for nothing, demands from all things and is always doing what it is not, no matter what might arise to it.
Desire seeks only death as death is desire's only release from life, so they that grow desire grow death.
Desire then, is the tar that covers the road that leads away from life.
Patience cares for everyone, gives to all things and is always doing what it is, no matter what might fall to it.
Patience seeks only life as life is patience's only release from death, so they that grow patience grow life.
Patience then, is the grass the covers the road that leads away from death.
#384 - Mind and matter. Only when you find the one, will you see the other.
#385 - When life crosses over into language, it can pay a heavy toll.
#386 - The past is not aware of itself. This is what makes it the past.
#387 - The more you see, the more you know.
The more you know, the less you say.
The less you say, the more you hear.
The more you hear, the less you see.
#388 - The more objects handled by the mind on a regular basis, the more mechanical becomes the person. The less objects handled by the mind on a regular basis, the more personable becomes the machinery.
#389 - When you start you die for fun
when your young you die for glory
when your mature you die for habit
when your old you die for hope
When your older you die for reason
One day, you die for the last time
Then you begin to live
#390 - Life is what happens when infinite size meets infinite density.
#391 - Where does the ground end and the sky begin?
