Looking forward to this. Shifty, the new film/ series from Adam Curtis. UK only I fear 😕

Good morning.

“When we turn 40 we stop saying ‘hi’ and start saying ‘bye’.

— Martin Amis

The point of utopias and dystopias is that we end up somewhere in the middle. What we fail to recognise is that we have to deal with aspects of both in an ongoing and perpetual negotiation that never ends. Just like ourselves, society and culture never arrive.

Good afternoon.

We cannot rid ourselves of anything that happens because we are everything that happens.

Perhaps the greatest piece of advice ever, from Carl Jung, of course 😉

One lives as one can…”

“The observer is the observed and therein lies sanity, the whole.”

— Jiddu Krishnamurti

The shift from a busy, confused and overwhelmed mind to that of open, clear, spaciousness is counterintuitively slight but experientially enormous.

Good morning.

“The boundary to what we can accept is the boundary to our freedom.”

— Tara Brach

Being alive is the only adventure.

At meditation this evening I felt an exquisite intensity of the moment – of everything happening all at once.

“When we try to pick out anything by itself, we find it hitched to everything else in the Universe.”

— John Muir

“Different strokes for different folks or for different moments. One moment you need Zen. The next moment you need Advaita. Then maybe you suddenly find yourself drawn to Christian mystics or Sufis. Or maybe you’re suddenly moved to throw it all out the window and start from scratch, knowing nothing, believing nothing. Each possibility has something unique to offer.”

— Relax!, Joan Tollifson

Good morning.

Good morning.

Things go away. Everything is always here.

Good morning.

Ever tried looking for yourself and not come up with either thoughts, ideas, stories, memories or fantasies?
