"Because of the gift of self-reflective consciousness, the human being alone, of all forms of life, has the capacity to recognize his or her own true identity as being not separate from the whole event of creation. Not separate from the Ground of Being, the void out of which the universe emerged, and simultaneously not separate from the first cause, from the Big Bang itself.
When the individual has an experience of what is known as cosmic consciousness, that's when this human vehicle becomes a vessel through which the Universe is able to know all of itself. The human vehicle becomes capable of knowing the body of the whole Universe as its own self, as its own limitless body.
So the awakening of the spiritual impulse in the human heart and mind is the Universe becoming conscious of itself through its own emerging creative process. That's quite profound. Especially considering that it's taken fifteen billion years for evolution to bring life to the point where this was possible."
--Andrew Cohen

What are words?
Go deeply into this.
-------------------- “Strengthened by contemplation and study, I will not fear my passions like a coward. My body I will give to pleasures, to diversions that I’ve dreamed of, to the most daring erotic desires, to the lustful impulses of my blood, without any fear at all, for whenever I will— and I will have the will, strengthened as I’ll be with contemplation and study— at the crucial moments I’ll recover my spirit as was before: ascetic.”

"The light of consciousness has no mind to change or alter anything. When you start to see the light that you really are, the light waking up in you, the radiance, you realize it has no intention to change you. It has no intention to harmonize. It has no agenda. It just happens. The Truth is the only thing you'll ever run into that has no agenda. Everything else will have an agenda."
From "Emptiness Dancing" by Adyashanti

Vibrations are, in my point of view, ANYTHING.
Today I was sitting on a chair, and not far from me, my friend said something. I could feel the vibration of his words in the chair.
Playing sitar heals myself. The vibrations caused by all the strings are just so damn good. And the melodies are so sweet.
Man, I love playing my sitar.

93 Cool mist in the August air Motionless he lays Naked to the Moon's silver stare
Blood slowly seeps from an exhausted heart The amphora dissolved Puddle of vermilion and the serpent tart
Soothing voice, a promise from the distance Mother or wife? Ignore! Fulminant love, only this instance!

Our life is usually thought of as a linear progression, like a line that goes from A to B.
From a higher dimensional standpoint, our life is actually much more like a single point. So when someone asks "what's the point?" you may answer "you are!"

"Let there be a voice to assure them, by day and even while they are asleep, that in spite of all the terror, all the bewilderment and confusion, the ultimate Reality remains unshakably itself and is of the same substance as the inner light of even the most cruelly tormented mind." Aldous Huxley, The Doors of Perception c. 1995
-------------------- In bewilderment, I realized I am the endless sea.

Very rare people are capable of being blissful for no reason at all - just sitting silently and blissfully!
Others will think them mad because the idea of happiness is that it has to come from somebody else. You meet a beautiful woman and you are happy, or you meet a beautiful man and you are happy.
But sitting silently in your room and being so blissful, so blissed out?
You must be crazy or something! People will suspect that you are on a drug, stoned.
Meditation is the ultimate LSD.
