"Don't let the emptiness of the dark, convince you that there is no light.."

Space

What is it to be admitted to a museum, to see a myriad of particular things, compared with being shown some star's surface, some hard matter in its home! I stand in awe of my body, this matter to which I am bound has become so strange to me. I fear not spirits, ghosts, of which I am one, — that my body might, — but I fear bodies, I tremble to meet them. What is this Titan that has possession of me? Talk of mysteries! — Think of our life in nature, — daily to be shown matter, to come in contact with it, — rocks, trees, wind on our cheeks! The solid earth! the actual world! the common sense! Contact! Contact! Who are we? where are we?
Thoreau - Ktaadn

"If you gaze long into an abyss the abyss will gaze back into you."

-Nietzsche



"Where the telescope ends, the microscope begins.
Which of the two has the grander view?"

-Victor Hugo

Most times you see the wall ; Sometimes you lean against it, on other occasions it smashes into you, and if you’re very lucky, a few times in a lifetime, you are permitted to fall into it.

The world is a mirror of you, as you are unto the world.

We are points on a map. Look closer ; you are the map.

We are light ; Solid, assembled and condensed.

Where it’s dark you can see through to the texture below ;
Where it’s light, it reflects what’s above ;
Darkness permits penetration,
but light is a glimpse at the mirror

(some guy named JBArk)

"Watch your thoughts, for they become words. Watch your words, for they become actions. Watch your actions, for they become habits. Watch your habits, for they become character. Watch your character, for it becomes your destiny."

"Cinderella she seems so easy, it takes one to know one she smiles..and puts her hands in her back pockets, Betty Davis style"

"you must leave now take what you need, what you think will last..but whatever you wish to keep you better grab it fast, yonder stands your orphan with his gun, crying like a fire in the sun..look out, the saints go marching through..and its all over now baby blue..the highway is for gamblers, better use your sense..take what you have gathered from coincidence..the empty handed painter from your streets, is drawing crazy patterns on your sheets..the sky too is folding over you, and its all over now, baby blue"

"the lover who has just walked out your door, has taken all the blankets from the floor..the carpet too is moving under you, and its all over now baby blue"

I really love this, I try to live my life with this philosophy in mind...


Much Peace and Compassion

"All the Buddhas of all the ages have been telling you a very simple fact: Be - don't try to become. Within these two words, be and becoming, your whole life is contained. Being is enlightenment, becoming is ignorance."

Never got this. Sounds like advocacy for apathy. I am all about learning, evolving improving and becoming. If this flies in the face of Osho and his idea of buddhas, so be it.

Besides, at the risk of evoking the wrathful, I already AM. From there is beginning.

here's another little self quote (at the risk of seeming egotistical):

As we think we are thought;
What’s out there is what’s in here.
