'I think that people don't understand. As the Firesign Theater used to say, 'Everything you know is wrong.' But that is a very liberating understanding, because if everything you know is wrong, then all the problems you thought were insoluble can be framed differently. And there's a way to take the world apart and put it back unrecognizably. We don't really understand what consciousness is at the really deep levels. With some of the tryptamine hallucinogens, you see into possibilities where questions like, 'are you alive?' 'are you dead?' 'are you you?' seem to have been transcended. I think people have a very narrow conception of what is possible with reality, that we're surrounded by the howling abyss of the unknowable and nobody knows what's out there.'

Professional writers usually begin such introductions with an address to
the reader full of all kinds of bombastic, magniloquent, and so to say
"honeyed" and inflated phrases.

In this alone I shall follow their example and also begin with an "address
to the reader," but I shall try not to make it as sugary as they usually do with
their evil wiseacring, by which they titillate the sensibilities of the more or
less normal reader.

If you prefer smoke over fire
then get up now and leave.
For I do not intend to perfume
your mind’s clothing
with more sooty knowledge.

No, I have something else in mind.
Today I hold a flame in my left hand
and a sword in my right.
There will be no damage control today.

For God is in a mood
to plunder your riches and
fling you nakedly
into such breathtaking poverty
that all that will be left of you
will be a tendency to shine.

So don’t just sit around this flame
choking on your mind.
For this is no campfire song
to mindlessly mantra yourself to sleep with.

Jump now into the space
between thoughts
and exit this dream
before I burn the damn place down.

- Adyashanti

Not sure how spiritual some of you would consider this but it resonated with me and my beliefs as an American citizen.

“If the words 'life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness' don't include the right to experiment with your own consciousness, then the Declaration of Independence isn't worth the hemp it was written on.”

Through the life, say others. Do the best thou knowest today. Shrink not from frequent error in this gradual, fragmentary state. Follow thy light for as much as it will show thee; be faithful as far as thou canst, in hope that faith presently will lead to sight. Help others, without blaming their need of thy help. Love much, and be forgiven.

It needs not intellect, needs not experience," says a third. "If you took the true way, your destiny would be accomplished in a purer and more natural order. You would not learn through facts of thought or action, but express through them the certainties of wisdom. In quietness yield thy soul to the casual soul. Do not disturb thy apprenticeship by premature effort; neither check the tide of instruction by methods of thy own. Be still; seek not, but wait in obedience. Thy commission will be given.

Could we indeed say what we want, could we give a description of the child that is lost, he would be found. As soon as the soul can affirm clearly that a certain demonstration is wanted, it is at hand. When the Jewish prophet described the Lamb, as the expression of what was required by the coming era, the time drew nigh. But we say not, see not as yet, clearly, what we would. Those who call for a more triumphant expression of love, a loe that cannot be crucified, show not a perfect sense of what has already been given. Love has already been expressed, that made all things new, that gave the worm its place and ministry as well as the eagle; a love to which it was alike to descend into the depths of hell, or to sit at the right hand of the Father.

Yet, no doubt, a new manifestation is at hand, a new hour in the day of Man. We cannot expect to see any one sample of completed being, when the mass of men still lie engaged in the sod, or use the freedom of their limbs only with wolfish energy. The tree cannot come to flower till its root be free from the cankering worm, and its whole growth open to air and light. While any one is base, none can be entirely free and noble. Yet something new shall presently be shown of the life of man, for hearts crave, if minds do not know how to ask it.

- Margaret Fuller

Quote:

A government should not mobilize an army out of anger, military leaders should not provoke war out of wrath.  Act when it is beneficial, desist if it is not.  Anger can revert to joy, wrath can revert to delight, but a nation destroyed cannot be restored to existence, and the dead cannot be restored to life.  Therefore an enlightened government is careful about this, a good military leadership is alert to this.  This is the way to secure a nation and keep the armed forces whole.

Quote:

One should utilize illness as an aid to progression on the Path.




Quote:

They left, and I ate the good food they had brought.  The sensation of pleasure and pain and the feelings of hunger increased so much that I could no longer meditate.  I thought that there was no greater obstacle for me than this inability to meditate.  Breaking the seal of the scroll that the lama had given me, I looked at it.  It contained the essential instructions to overcome obstacles and improve practice, instructions for transforming vice into virtue, and more especially the advice to take good food at this time.




Quote:

Having overcome the obstacles, I realized imperfections as perfections; even through discriminating thought, I perceived the inherent simplicity of the Dharmakaya.




Quote:

I understood that in general all things related to samsara and nirvana are interdependent.  Furthermore I perceived that the source of consciousness is neutral.  Samsara is the result of a wrong point of view.  Nirvana is realized through perfect awareness.  I perceived that the essence of both lay in an empty and luminous awareness.




Quote:

Song on Fulfillment of My Aim
I invoke my lama in his manifestation
To bless the mendicant so that he may complete his retreat
  in solitude.
My happiness unknown to my relatives,
My misery unknown to my enemies.
If I could die in solitude,
The aim of this yogin will be fulfilled

My growing old unknown to my friends,
My growing sick unknown to my sister,
If I could die in solitude,
The aim of this yogin will be fulfilled.

My dying unknown to men,
My rotting corpse unseen by vultures,
If I could die in solitude,
The aim of this yogin will be fulfilled.

Without a vigil around my corpse,
Without lamentation over my death,
If I could die in solitude,
The aim of this yogin will be fulfilled.

With no one to ask where I have gone,
With no one to say that I am here,
If I could die in solitude,
The aim of this yogin will be fulfilled.

In this solitary cave in the mountains
May this wish about the mendicant's death
Be fulfilled for the benefit of all beings,
Thus my aim will be realized.

Profoundly beautiful and wonderful, Tantrika.  Not e.z. to come up with one after that, but I was looking up this lyric in result of a conversation with MarkosTheGnostic, or M.t.G., which I was partly responsible for popularizing - although in all likelihood not the first, the first as far as I saw -- and I was looking to post it somewhere. . . Went ahead and chose to post it here - I love particularly the line, 'Death has no season - so I know I'll never die.'  It's poetry - a song, in fact - and of course it takes some poetic license, but it's very beautiful.


Just like anything, to sing, to sing, to sing
Is a state of mind

Sunlight dances slowly on a drum beat’s broken rhyme
I speak in answers only to see them in my mind
If I had a penny, I'd throw it in the sea
To see if it would float away or grow a penny tree

I play the fool of rhythm, to speak of what is sane
I never think of singing to those who feel the same
See how high the rain falls, see the color in my hair
Hunt for golden porridge bowls, hear the paper tear

Just like anything, to sing, to sing, to sing
Is a state of mind

Death gives no reason, so why should I
Death has no season, so I know I'll never die

Just like anything, to sing, to sing, to sing
Is a state of mind
