Close your eyes and let the mind expand. Let no fear of death or darkness arrest its course. Allow the mind to merge with Mind. Let it flow out upon the great curve of consciousness. Let it soar on the wings of the great bird of duration, up to the very Circle of Eternity.
- Hermes
Seekers should open their own eyes—don’t let yourselves in for regret later on. Zen cannot be reached by psychic powers or by cultivation of special experiences. Zen cannot be discussed by means of the knowledge or intelligence of the merely learned.
- Zen Master Huanglong

"Solitude is in the mind of a man. One might be in the thick of the world and yet maintain perfect serenity of mind; such a person is always in solitude. Another may stay in the forest, but still be unable to control his mind. He cannot be said to be in solitude. Solitude is an attitude of the mind; a man attached to the things of life cannot get solitude, wherever he may be. A detached man is always in solitude." --Ramana Maharshi

“In the year 1166 B.C., a malcontented hunchbrain by the name of Greyface, got it into his head that the universe was as humorless as he, and he began to teach that play was sinful because it contradicted the ways of Serious Order. "Look at all the order around you," he said. And from that, he deluded honest men to believe that reality was a straightjacket affair and not the happy romance as men had known it.
It is not presently understood why men were so gullible at that particular time, for absolutely no one thought to observe all the disorder around them and conclude just the opposite. But anyway, Greyface and his followers took the game of playing at life more seriously than they took life itself and were known even to destroy other living beings whose ways of life differed from their own.
The unfortunate result of this is that mankind has since been suffering from a psychological and spiritual imbalance. Imbalance causes frustration, and frustration causes fear. And fear makes for a bad trip. Man has been on a bad trip for a long time now.
It is called THE CURSE OF GREYFACE.”

"Detachment is not that you should own nothing, but that nothing should own you."
- Ali ibn Abi Talib
“It is interesting to learn in this lifetime how to inhabit roles lightly, how to inhabit them with joy and with passion, and with emptiness. How to delight in the lila, in the play, and begin to see your life experiences as grace, as a set of opportunities through which you can become free. These opportunities were handed to you. And it is bizarre to get to the realization that there are no errors in the game. The ones that have been handed to you have been tailor-made for you.”
- Ram Dass

"The alienated self in a universe of atoms and void that grinds along mechanically toward heat death - that is a myth, a story. It is one way of looking at things. And that way of looking at things corresponds to a state of being that's an evolutionary stage in human development. It is an expression of the course of separation. It is the quintessence of separation. So separate, we are, that we deny the livingness of the universe itself and our part in it. And I think in order to move past this particular level of development, it needs to be inhabited in all of its fullness. And that's where the last few generations have gone. It's to the full grokking of this metaphysical teaching, which goes along with a state of being of a profound existential alienation from the universe. Where you are nothing but a biochemical accident. A fuzz of biochemistry whirling along, and living out your life until you're snuffed out at the end, and that's it. And I'm not going to disprove that. It is a full on state of being."
- Charles Eisenstein
