Nice thread
nature certainly brings me joy also being away from mobile phone, computer, watch on my wrist and etc for a period of time.

man. . . bein' free of those is so great. hard to describe. 
dey are tools, can be good, but take a few years free o dem now and then, is a very good idea.

This is my favorite way to reflect on the idea that "I am it" and center myself in a position to choose joy and love. 
It's my understanding that pure joy is the Self. It is not other than that. Eventually you find with the joy of the Self, this pure joy hopefully we are all talking about (the same thing) is not an emotion but a whole thought process. It transforms the world, the world being a co-construction of your thought process and other nervous system processes.
The Self is not an end, but a means to continually intensifying bliss states. There is no end to God.

On being new every day. This is completely true.
I don't know much about Castaneda but one thing he says is - "People don't realise they can cut anything out of their lives, in a single instant."
Not getting the progress you want? Throw all trains of thought away and start again. And start again, and again. It's up to you, "you're only as old as the last time you changed your mind"-Robert Anton Wilson
I was way overdue for some idea pruning recently.

this is very nice, circastes! 
I just posted a thing on sleep rejuvenation in well-being. .
may it do some good 
yeah that Castanada quote is very true, useful and good. . I was just reading a sage yesterday who was writing on imagination. . very beautiful stuff, I actually typed it out I liked it so much, so I'll post it here.
"How many times you sit and become aware that the thought is beginning to form images for itself, to tell itself a story; and so, when you have become a little expert at it, not only do you see unfolding before you the history of what you would like to happen in life, in your own life, but you can take something away, add a detail, perfect your work, make a really fine story in which everything conforms with your highest aspiration. And once you have made a complete harmonious construction, as perfect as you can make it, then you open your hands and let the bird fly away."
My first thought initially, of the first line, was - an unusual usage. . this morning it has new meaning.
