Commit your mind to me and the task of knowing me
Devote all your heart to loving & worshipping me
Serve me in all your actions
Be as nothing before me, that i may be all of you
Make me your only duty and your refuge
I will deliver you from all division & separation
Grieve no more

Bhagavad Gita

If the doors of perception were cleansed all things would appear as they are, Infinite. -William Blake

The finger points at the moon, and the fool stares the finger. -Zen Proverb

If you take [a copy of] the Christian Bible and put it out in the wind and the rain, soon the paper on which the words are printed will disintegrate and the words will be gone. Our bible IS the wind and the rain. -Indian Proverb

The brain has replaced the genitals as the forbidden organ that must not be touched or turned on by the owner. -Timothy Leary

Certitude belongs exclusively to those who only own one encyclopedia. -R.A. Wilson

I slept with faith and found a corpse in my arms on awakening; I drank and danced all night with doubt and found her a virgin in the morning. -Crowley

Every man and woman is a star. -Crowley

Follow your bliss. -Joseph Campbell

If a man does not keep pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer. -Thoreau

The moon and entire sky are reflected in one dewdrop on the grass. -Dogen

Five severed fingers do not make a fist. -Daniel Quinn

To see the world in a grain of sand
and to see heaven in a wild flower,
hold infinity in the palm of your hands,
and eternity in an hour. -William Blake

Do not believe in anything simply because you have heard it. Do not believe in anything simply because it is spoken and rumored by many. Do not believe in anything simply because it is found written in your religious books. Do not believe in anything merely on the authority of your teachers and elders. Do not believe in traditions because they have been handed down for many generations. But after observation and analysis, when you find that anything agrees with reason and is conducive to the good and benefit of one and all, then accept it and live up to it. -Buddha

The purpose of education is to replace an empty mind with an open one. -Malcolm S. Forbes

Quote:

There is one real birth and one real death. You are born once and you die only once. What is the real birth? It is the advent of individuality through a glimmer of the first most finite consciousness, which transfixed cognizance of limitation into the unlimited. What is the real death? It is consciousness getting free from all limitations, it is liberation. . . Therefore I say, die for God and you will live as God.

There is literal truth to this if you realize what the five pointed star literally represents.

It is the five senses extending out from the intelligent center.

Did you think they just picked a pentagon to be the building that stores all military intelligence at random?

"
    Stop buying unnecessary things.
    Toss half your stuff, learn contentedness.
    Reduce half again.
    List 4 essential things in your life,
    stop doing non-essential things.
    Do these essentials first each day,
    clear distractions focus on each moment.
    Let go of attachment to doing, having more.

    Fall in love with less. "

To know all things, learn to know nothing.
To possess all things, resolve to possess nothing.
To be all things, be willing to be nothing...

When you stop at one thing, you cease to open yourself to the All. For to come to the All you must give up the All. And if you attain to owning the All, you must own it, desiring Nothing. In this spoliation, the soul finds tranquility and rest. Profoundly established in the centre of its own nothingness, it can be assailed by naught that comes from below; and since it no longer desires anything, what comes from above cannot depress it; for its desires alone are the causes of its woes.

If a man wishes to be sure of the road he treads on, he must close his eyes and walk in the dark.

- Saint John of the Cross

The Beliefs of a Witoto shaman and the beliefs of a Princeton phenomenologist have an equal chance of being correct, and there are no arbiters of who is right. Here is something we have not assimilated. We have been to the moon, we have charted the depths of the ocean and the heart of the atom, but we have a fear of looking inward to ourselves because we sense that is where all the contradictions flow together.

""Now men are planning to go to the Moon. And the first to get there will plant his nation's flag on it, and that nation will declare: 'It is mine.' But another nation will dispute the claim, and they will fight here on this Earth for possession of that Moon. And whoever goes there, what will he find? Nothing but himself. And if people go on to Venus, they will still find nothing but themselves. Whether men soar to outer space or dive to the bottom of the deepest ocean, they will find themselves as they are, unchanged, because they will not have forgotten themselves nor remembered to exercise the charity of forgiveness." (Meherazad, 31 August 1962)
Meher Baba

& What will he find? Nothing but himself.

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
