this might not be entirely spiritual but I felt it was.


"Man will occasionally stumble over the truth, but usually manages to pick himself up, walk over or around it, and carry on."
~Winston Churchhill

The best way to live
is to be like water
For water benefits all things
and goes against none of them
It provides for all people
and even cleanses those places
a man is loath to go
In this way it is just like Tao        ~Daodejing

man, I just can't stand the way they wrote in the middle east.  And I really abhor the way it was translated into english.

:thumbup: some good shit right there.

It's funny how simple It really is.  And I will agree, if you miss the forest for the trees, that one may get distracted by silly details.  I just wish people who are the way they "actually" are would just be as they are.  And I mean that in the best way possible.

The first step is realizing the "mess" you've been living.  If you don't panic out of regrets of the past and scorn whatever catalystic event made this reality apparent, you might learn something and "better" yourself to reverberate with what's actually going on.  And when you do get to a certain point of realization and maintain a pragmatic understanding of the relationships everything has with each other then you know there no other place to go but of right this moment.  All else is just a clashing of poles (+,-) in all its beauty and grace.  Once you stop looking at the big picture under a microscope, you realize you might as well stop observing everything happenings and just be a part of it.  In the entropic dance of life, where the configuration of a protein is based on what its present environment is, I couldn't be more pleased with ease to live the same way everything else is "living". 
~Xeng Xhi Wu

For those who are missing the forest for the trees.
In one previous book, I read this, "Words are mere pins by which we may hang ideas and concepts from."
From that, I hope you will see the similarities and differences in everything and not get bogged down by the "definitions" of words but of the ideas and concepts they are trying to put an extremely loose shape around.

The Universe

What if someone said to an embryo in the womb,
“Outside of your world of black nothing
is a miraculously ordered universe;
a vast Earth covered with tasty food;
mountains, oceans and plains,
fragrant orchards and fields full of crops;
a luminous sky beyond your reach,
with a sun, moonbeams, and uncountable stars;
and there are winds from south, north and west,
and gardens replete with sweet flowers
like a banquet at a wedding feast.

The wonders of this world are beyond description.
What are you doing living in a dark prison,
Drinking blood through that narrow tube?”
But the womb- world is all an embryo knows
And it would not be particularly impressed
By such amazing tales, saying dismissively:
“You’re crazy. That is all a deluded fantasy.”

One day you will look back and laugh at yourself.
You’ll say, “ I can’t believe I was so asleep!
How did I ever forget the truth?
How ridiculous to believe that sadness and sickness
Are anything other than bad dreams.”

-Rumi





I can remember the first time I read that, thanks for it again :thumbup:




I like that too

I think people should just stop crediting quotes altogether. (novel speeches and paragraphs aside)  This one especially as it says, Meher wouldn't be the only contributor to the quote; the universe would be.

I'm not a big fan of McKenna for statements exactly like that.  There are plenty of people out there, scientists included, that see these details from discoveries as another part of the grand picture.

I believe McKenna either lacks the pragmatic understanding of this or he, like so many others, would rather use the US vs THEM rhetorical technique.

I've tried to like McKenna but every time I read or hear his thoughts, I can't help but think that he's missing the forest for the trees.  I believe he experienced life in a comparable way to a great many of us, but I don't think he understands his own upbringing might shape the way he communicates these/this Idea(s).

He does speak out to those who are open to "That". Unfortunately, I haven't been able to appreciate him like so.

All in all, he conjectures waaaaaayyyy too much for my taste and I wish he would be a bit more vaguely all-encompassing.

Your religion is not the garb you wear outwardly, but the garment of light you weave around your heart. By outward garb I don't mean your physical raiment only, but rather the thoughts and beliefs in which you enclose yourself. They are not you. Discover who you are, behind those outer trappings, and you will discover who Jesus was, and Buddha, and Krishna. For the masters come to earth for the purpose of holding up to every man a reflection of his deeper, eternal Self."
~Paramahansa Yogananda

:wink:

[from Chapter I: "Samadhi Pada- On Contemplations"]
I.26.  SA POORVESAM API GURUH KAALENAANA-VACCHEDAAT
'Unlimited by time, he is the teacher of all other teachers, from the
most ancient of times'.

Commentary:
    The highest teacher is the Self, 'Purusha'. All ancient sages,
such as Jesus and Buddha, realized the Self. While they may have had
earthly teachers, the Sources of their vast knowledge was not of this
plane. Living in a superconscious state, they had direct access to the
Truth, that knowledge which is absolute.

ok ok!

Every spiritual thought you think will be your eternal friend.
And every evil inclination you acquire will be your enemy for a long, long time;
it will pursue you until you slay it. Remember that.
First, free yourself from wrong thoughts and habits.
Second, establish good habits and perform good deeds.

If you keep on trying, you will improve.
'A saint is a sinner who never gave up.'

Never give up!

He is a yogi who can remain in any material environment without being involved in likes and dislikes. "In this path (of yoga action) there is no loss of the unfinished effort for realization, nor is there creation of contrary effects. Even a tiny bit of this real religion protects one from great fear (the colossal sufferings inherent in the repeated cycles of birth and death)." (The Bhagavad Gita)
