Our capacity to make peace with another person and with the world depends very much on our capacity to make peace with ourselves.
Thich Nhat Hanh
There is nothing that doesn’t belong. Everything has its place.
There are two ways of getting home; and one of them is to stay there.
G.K. Chesterson
We cannot rid ourselves of anything that happens because we are everything that happens.
The degree of grieving can be mistakenly seen as the degree of love instead of, as it often is, the amount we want to possess others for ourselves.
Love, support, care and compassion are not the same as dependant attachment. We can care for people without wanting to possess them for ourselves.
James Low
Beware the comfort of spiritual opium.
Joan Tollifson
…experience is not happening to you, it is you.
John Astin
If we sit quietly, making no effort, life expresses itself clearly; it simply happens on its own. There’s nothing else to get. The great truth is obvious. The heart beats; the breath comes and goes. Vibrations, pulsations, twinges, feelings, thoughts, and emotions rise and fall. Urges rise and pass; some become actions, others do not, and so life flows.
Darryl Bailey
If there’s no solution, is there a problem…?
What is the self? It is yourself and there is no excuse whatever. So you are absolutely in the frying pan.
Carl Jung
Just a few of the reasons I love my work so much are that it has nothing to do with business. Or money, or cash flow, or profits, or turnover, or any kind of financial imperative, or products, or selling, or advertising, or marketing, or promoting, or customers, or spreadsheets, or ROIs, or presentations, or projects, or computers, or offices, or meetings, or hierarchies… You get the idea.
When people say ‘what are the chances of that happening?’ I would say exactly the same as those which led all of us to find ourselves alive, here and now – infinite and incalculable in size. And yet here we are. We take our existence for granted and yet the fact that we, or anything, exists at all is simply beyond our primate ability to comprehend. And thus religion and science and the desire to calculate odds…
Spirituality is not to be learned by flight from the world, or by running away from things, or by turning solitary and going apart from the world. Rather, we must learn an inner solitude wherever or with whomsoever we may be.
Meister Eckhart
No thought, no reflection, no analysis, no cultivation, no intention; let it settle itself.
Tilopa
Your experience, however it is manifesting, is always the complete, whole aliveness of being you imagine you are seeking.
If you find yourself looking or seeking something else, something different, something more – what is it that you think you’ll find, attain or gain?
This is my secret. I don't mind what happens.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
There’s no explaining what is obvious.
The greatest thing in the world is to know how to belong to oneself.
Michel de Montaigne
The more closely one observes anything at all the more clear and obvious the indivisibility and impermanence of everything.
