His disciples said to Him: "When will the Kingdom come?"

Jesus said: "It does not come by expecting it. It will not be a matter of saying, "Here it is!" or "There it is." Rather, the Kingdom of Heaven is spread upon the earth and men do not see it."
- The Gospel of Thomas

Long accustomed to be carefree,
I have forgotten worldly shame.
Long accustomed to the mind coming and going
By itself, I have forgotten how to hide things.
- Milarepa

The choiceless truth of who you are is revealed to be permanently here permeating everything.  Not a thing and not separate from anything - Gangaji

“Strengthened by contemplation and study,
I will not fear my passions like a coward.
My body I will give to pleasures,
to diversions that I’ve dreamed of,
to the most daring erotic desires,
to the lustful impulses of my blood, without
any fear at all, for whenever I will—
and I will have the will, strengthened
as I’ll be with contemplation and study—
at the crucial moments I’ll recover
my spirit as was before: ascetic.”

Jesus said to them, "When you make the two into one; and when you make the inner like the outer and the outer like the inner; and the upper like the lower; and when you make male and female into a single one, so that the male will not be male nor the female be female; when you make eyes in place of an eye, a hand in place of a hand, a foot in place of a foot, an image in place of an image; then you will enter the Kingdom." - Gospel of Thomas

"Please see that I want nothing from you. It is in your own interest that I speak, because above all you love yourself, you want yourself secure and happy. Don't be ashamed of it, don't deny it. It is natural and good to love oneself. Only you should know exactly what do you love. It is not the body that you love, it is Life - perceiving, feeling, thinking, doing, loving, striving, creating. It is that Life which you love, which is you, which is all. Realize it in its totality, beyond all divisions and limitations, and all your desires will merge in it, for the greater contains the smaller. Therefore, find yourself, for in finding that you find all."

- Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj

Quote:

deCypher said:
If you're going to try, go all the way.  Otherwise, don't even start.  This could mean losing girlfriends, wives, relatives and maybe even your mind.  It could mean not eating for three or four days. It could mean freezing on a park bench.  It could mean jail.  It could mean derision.  It could mean mockery--isolation.  Isolation is the gift.  All the others are a test of your endurance, of how much you really want to do it.  And, you'll do it, despite rejection and the worst odds.  And it will be better than anything else you can imagine.  If you're going to try, go all the way.  There is no other feeling like that.  You will be alone with the gods, and the nights will flame with fire.  You will ride life straight to perfect laughter.  It's the only good fight there is.
--Charles Bukowski


Bullshit, IMO.

Care to elaborate why you think so?  IMO, it's a beautifully written paragraph.


To me it smacks of masculine overly mythological thinking.  IMO there is no great journey/hero's journey, whose existence the paragraph (as I read it) implies, nor is there some golden reward like "perfect laughter" or some magical state that is "better than anything you can imagine."

Anyway, I'm sure I've posted quotes with similar sentiments before.  That was just my gut feeling when I read it, a reflection of where I'm at now mentally (no place special).

Yeah, I suppose it would help to have some context before I dismissed the quote as BS.  To me it seemed like he was talking about a Hero's Journey type thing, not just artistic creativity.  The abandoning the wives/girlfriends bit, and the isolation bit, seemed to parallel the stories of Buddha and other world-renunciants who are considered spiritually "complete."

'A half-century from now no one will know the smells that prevailed in our streets and rooms.  They will excavate some military hero of stone, of which there are hundreds in every city, and heave a sigh for Phidias of yore.  Everything in the world is beautiful, but Man only recognizes beauty if he sees it either seldom or from afar....Listen....today, we are gods!  Our blue shadows are enormous.  We move in a gigantic, joyous world.' -Vladimir Nabokov, "Gods"

'The centuries will roll by, and schoolboys will yawn over the history of our upheavals; everything will pass, but my happiness, dear, my happiness will remain, in the moist reflection of a streetlamp, in the cautious bend of stone steps that descend into the canal's black waters, in the smiles of a dancing couple, in everything with which God so generously surrounds human loneliness.' -Nabokov, "A Letter That Never Reached Russia"

"Where have I read that at the end, when life, surface upon surface, has become completely encrusted with experience, you know everything, the secret, the power, and the glory, why you were born, why you are dying, and how it could all have been different? ... Now I know what the Law of the Kingdom is, of poor, desperate, tattered Malkhut, where Wisdom has gone into exile, groping to recover its former lucidity." - Umberto Eco, Foucault's Pendulum

Quote:

Ethnobotanical said:
Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away.
Matthew 24:25

Probably one of my favorite bible quotes. Can really relate to it after taking mushies alone in the desert. Imagine it, death being nothing joyful, sorrowful, or anything of the sort. Simply an empty state of existing, with nothing to bring comfort to you but the words of attaining peace, and knowing that you did your best to follow them while you were "alive".....whatever that meant  :artistic:  :shrug:
