Yep. That's interesting, I've been reading Jung all day and I'm about read some more Joseph Campbell. Coincidence, synchronicity? Mmm...

"The way to peace and fulfillment in union with God, the divine Beloved, is a daring dive into the "eternal now." Not by fruitless surveys of the past, nor by elusive longings for the future, nor by enslavement to the fleeting moment, but by staking everything for God, is it possible for you to experience yourself as the illimitable ocean of love. Here and nowhere else is the final solution of all your problems. Love born in the Truth liberates without binding and fulfills without overpowering; it is a pure blessing not only for yourself, but for each and all, for ever and ever, in the "eternal now." Meher Baba

"The individual, through prolonged psychological disciplines, gives up completely all attachment to his personal limitations, idiosyncrasies, hopes and fears, no longer resists the self-annihilation that is prerequisite to rebirth in the realization of truth, and so becomes ripe, at last, for the great at-one-ment. His personal ambitions being totally dissolved, he no longer tries to live but willingly relaxes to whatever may come to pass in him; he becomes, that is to say, an anonymity. The Law lives in him with his unreserved consent."

I am a node of Server,
Born of flesh and blood,
But enhanced by the power of it's web,
My scripts are a focus of my will,
My strength is my knowledge,
My weapons are my skills,
Information is the blood of my body,
I am part of the greater network,
I am host to the vast data of server,
My flesh is weak,
But my connection is eternal,
And therefore I am god.

"Physical separateness can never be overcome by electronics, but only by 'conviviality,' by 'living together' in the most literal physical sense. The physically divided are also the conquered and the controlled. 'True desires' - erotic, gustatory, olfactory, musical, aesthetic, psychic, & spiritual - are best attained in a context of freedom of self and other in physical proximity & mutual aid. Everything else is at best a sort of representation."
--Hakim Bey

"To say that 'I will not be free till all humans (or all sentient creatures) are free' is simply to cave in to a kind of nirvana-stupor, to abdicate our humanity, to define ourselves as losers."
--Hakim Bey

I :heart: Hakim Bey and his writings, thanks for sharing that, makes me want to crack out his books, I think I will right now!

"If we are bound by any ethic or morality it must be one which we ourselves have imagined, fabulously more exalted & more liberating than the "moralic acid" of puritans & humanists. "Ye are gods"--"Thou art That."" - Hakim Bey

There is only one dreamer, the one Self,
dreaming many dreams

In every body there is a dream, but the dreamer is the same, the
one Self, which reflects itself in each body as "I am".

To me all [persons] are equal. Differences in appearance and expression are there, but they do not matter. Just as the shape of a gold ornament does not affect the gold, so does man's essence remain unaffected. (301)

There is absolutely no difference between me and others, except in my knowing myself as I am. I know it for certain and you do not. The difference is only in the mind and temporary. I was like you, you will be like me. (123)

My self and your self are one. I know it, but you don't. That is all the difference - and it cannot last. (88)

This [helping people] is mere imagination. In truth you do not help others, because there are no others. (313)

In reality there are no others, and by helping yourself you help everybody else. (383)

I am the other person, the other person is myself; in name and shape we are different, but there is no separation. At the root of our being we are one. (511)

Where are the many points [of consciousness]? In you mind. You insist that your world is independent of your mind. How can it be? Your desire to know other people's minds is due to your not knowing your own mind. First know your own mind and you will find that the question of other minds does not arise at all, for there are no other people. You are the common factor, the only link between the minds. Being is consciousness. "I am" applies to all. (257)

The dreams are not equal, but the dreamer is one. I am the insect, I am the poet - in dream. But in reality I am neither. I am beyond all dreams. I am the light in which all dreams appear and disappear. I am both inside and outside the dream. Just as a man having a headache knows the ache and also knows that he is not the ache, so do I know the dream, myself dreaming and myself not dreaming - all at the same time. I am what I am before, during and after the dream. But what I see in dream, I am not. (117)

Ultimately nothing is mine or yours, everything is ours. Just be one with yourself and you will be one with all, at home in the entire universe. (462)

Even to talk of re-uniting the person with the self is not right, because there is no person, only a mental picture given a false reality by conviction. Nothing was divided and there is nothing to unite. (143)

There is no "my self" and "his self". There is the Self, the only Self of all. Misled by the diversity of names and shapes, minds and bodies, you imagine multiple selves. We both are the self. (137)

The one witness reflects itself in the countless bodies as "I am". As long as the bodies, however subtle, last, the "I am" appears as many. Beyond the body there is only the One. (157)

I am one, but appear as many. (529)

Delve deeply into the sense "I am" and you will surely discover that the perceiving centre is universal, as universal as the light that illumines the world. All that happens in the universe happens to you, the silent witness. On the other hand, whatever is done,is done by you, the universal and inexhaustible energy. (519)

All the dreams are of a common imaginary World
and influence each other.

The variety of personal worlds is not so great. All the dreams are superimposed over a common world. To some extent, they shape and influence each other. The basic unity operates in spite of all. At the root of it all lies self-forgetfulness; not knowing who I am. In a hospital there may be many patients, all sleeping, all dreaming, each dreaming his own private, personal dream, unrelated, unaffected, having one single factor in common - illness. Similarly, we have divorced ourselves in our imagination from the real world of common experience, and enclosed ourselves in a cloud of personal desires and fears, images and thoughts, ideas and concepts. (92-93)

Love is seeing the unity under the imaginary diversity.

When all the false self-identifications are thrown away, what remains is all-embracing love. (195)

To see myself in everybody, and everybody in myself, most certainly is love. (91)

The consciousness in you and the consciousness in me, apparently two, really one, seek unity and that is love. (70)

  1. We are the universe conscious of itself.

  2. At the Singularity, history as we know it, will cease.

  3. All 'I's are but Me, taking many forms.

  4. It's all a state of mind.

  5. Can you sympathize with an exploding star?

  6. Man is but potential. Overcome! And go thee beyond.

  7. I am content with leaving small science to the small scientist, whose narrow view is tantamount to blindness.

  8. At the heart of every religion lies mysticism.

  9. Whoever controls consciousness controls the universe.

  10. Fear not, for all shall pass in accordance with the Divine Will.

  11. The vast majority of mankind is trapped within perceptual prisons. We, as a species, must escape from our perceptual prisons.

  12. Break thru your perceptual shells. Only then will you find me.

  13. I admit that I'm human, but I've had the fortune of not being too human.

  14. The world is what we make it.

  15. Man is just a big potential. Almost nothing has yet been realized.

  16. Life is a game, and you must know how to play, or else you lose and can only blame your own stupidity or lack of motivation.

  17. What I admire in others and in myself: producing great works and living life to its fullest in spite of being vividly aware of always standing over the gaping maw of Nihilism..... To look Nihilism straight in its face and laugh hard, because one has gotten beyond it, because one possesses the strength to get far, far beyond it.....To play the game of life on one's own terms, as creator, as divinity realized.

  18. When encountering a new philosophy or religion, do not convert, but rather assimilate.

  19. All philosophies and religions are but partial truths. One must meld them together to arrive at greater truths.

  20. Those who see and feel beyond illusion have acquired a far greater gift than could ever be derived from studying scripture and philosophy books, for these were meant only to guide the blind.

  21. Each of us is confined to a world of our own making.

  22. Those who experience the 'Self' lose all fear, including fear of death itself.

  23. All things are in God, and God is in all things. The face of God is everywhere. Find it in yourself, see it as a latent seed, and stop at nothing to actualize it.

  24. Beauty inspires us towards greatness.

  25. Creative expression of one's power is what makes Man more like God.

  26. One must learn the art of turning disadvantage into advantage.

  27. All that is divine is but a product of the human mind. It is our responsibility to actualize this divinity.

  28. Each of us conceals an abyss, though few of us are aware of its existence, and even fewer dare to explore its vastness.

  29. 'The world is my idea.' 'Everything that we are is the result of what we have thought.' This should be one's starting point. This should be how one begins each day.

  30. Do not inhibit the expression of what you find within yourself. The outpourings of our inner worlds on the outer is necessary.

  31. It is noble to seek to remake this world in our own image, to impose our inner worlds on the outer so as to transform the latter.

  32. Meaning is self-created. Those who believe that life is meaningless have only themselves to blame.

  33. One can never desire too much.

  34. God is but the aspiration of Man.

  35. The life without meaning or intensity is no life at all.

  36. Desire, born within the vast, dark depths of the subconscious, only finds expression after surfacing to the light of consciousness.

  37. One should learn how to shift one's philosophical/religious perspective so as to maximize one's advantage.

  38. A profound sense of mystery is invariably experienced upon realizing just how much is hidden.

  39. Never let go of your goals or aspirations, for these are sacred.

  40. Man has so much potential! Those who take it upon themselves to actualize this potential out of sheer curiousity know well what life is all about.

  41. Within each of us is contained vast stretches of mental space seen only by our own eyes, unable to be communicated verbally to the outside world even if we wanted to. There is something frightening about this, about the vastness and incommunicability of these hidden places.

  42. There is more in this world than is contained in all of your philosophy, religion, and science.

  43. What we take to be reality is but a construct of the brain. The way we ordinarily perceive reality is but one of many ways...there are multiple ways to construct our mental worlds. The exploration of these different modes of consciousness and perception beckons as a liberation into a fuller, deeper understanding of the hidden, underlying reality, of which we are normally only dimly aware of the surface and the shadows.

  44. One must act from inner necessity. Feel it from deep within, from the very core of your being, surging forth, empowering, invigorating, inexhaustible. Focus your attention on this feeling, on this raw energy, and feel it thereby increase manyfold in intensity and strength.

  45. Inhibitions are an illusion. Inhibitions do not even exist. It's all a state of mind. Feel only your desires and their fulfillment. Never let inhibitions get in the way of these.

  46. Those who have looked deep enough into themselves know that the Self is an infinite source from which springs all strivings and desires.

  47. Who has felt the seething inexhaustible chaos deep within oneself, uncontainable, bursting ever forth from we know not where, this explosive, overcoming, frenzied, primordial, unstoppable, unquenchable force within oneself?!

  48. You who feel so comfortable and secure in your world, what if I told you it was but illusion. Who among you can boast of looking beyond illusion to the Self of selves?

Eternity has nothing to do with time. Eternity is that dimension of here and now which thinking and time cuts out. This is it. And if you don't get it here, you won't get it anywhere. And the experience of eternity right here and now is the function of life.

[gradient:#050402,#]1 Corinthians 1:18-31 (New International Version)

Christ the Wisdom and Power of God
18For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God. 19For it is written:
  "I will destroy the wisdom of the wise;
      the intelligence of the intelligent I will frustrate."[a]
20Where is the wise man? Where is the scholar? Where is the philosopher of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world? 21For since in the wisdom of God the world through its wisdom did not know him, God was pleased through the foolishness of what was preached to save those who believe. 22Jews demand miraculous signs and Greeks look for wisdom, 23but we preach Christ crucified: a stumbling block to Jews and foolishness to Gentiles, 24but to those whom God has called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God. 25For the foolishness of God is wiser than man's wisdom, and the weakness of God is stronger than man's strength.

26Brothers, think of what you were when you were called. Not many of you were wise by human standards; not many were influential; not many were of noble birth. 27But God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise; God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong. 28He chose the lowly things of this world and the despised things—and the things that are not—to nullify the things that are, 29so that no one may boast before him. 30It is because of him that you are in Christ Jesus, who has become for us wisdom from God—that is, our righteousness, holiness and redemption. 31Therefore, as it is written: "Let him who boasts boast in the Lord."

"Putting a value on status
    will cause people to compete
Hoarding treasure
    will turn them into thieves
Showing off possessions
    will disturb their daily lives"

Tao Te Ching

This is one of the biggest reasons I am a Taoist. This quote. Here.

I would love to talk to more people about Taoism as I am quite new to it and Taoism allows room for so much discussion. PM me if you are interested!

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
