| “Every moment of your life is either a test or a celebration” “Whenever you are feeling isolated and weary, feel the present moment as if it were a woman. Feel like you are embracing a woman, physically. Feel the front of your body as if it were pressed against the front of a woman’s naked body, being filled with the delight of her feminine softness and liveliness. Feel her breasts and belly against you. Breathe deeply as if you were inhaling her intoxicating fragrance. And, while inhaling, receive deeply into your body not just her scent, but the very essence of feminine deliciousness, as if it were nourishing food for your masculine soul.” ― David Deida, The Way of the Superior Man “Everything you do right now ripples outward and affects everyone. Your posture can shine your heart or transmit anxiety. Your breath can radiate love or muddy th... mar 29 2019 ∞
mar 29 2019 + When Hillman discusses ideas, he mentions an "intimacy" between them and "visual metaphor." He says: "Ideas allow us to envision" (1975: 121). They also, I would add, allow him to "re-vision." The English word "idea" derives from the Greek word eidōs, which, Hillman notes, means "that which one sees" (not, he emphasizes, in an abstract sense but "in a concrete sense"), as well as "that by which one sees." (The verb eidō means "to see.") Ideas are both an end and a means to an end. Hillman says of ideas: "We see them, and by means of them." He says that "having ideas to see with and seeing ideas themselves" imply "that the more ideas we have, the more we see" (1975: 121). In this visual metaphor, to see is not to have "sights" but, as Hillman says, "psychological ideas, or insights" (1975: 122). In contemporary English, perhaps the most common synonym for "idea" is "concept." ... mar 24 2019 ∞

jul 25 2015 + THE SWEETNESS OF THE FATHER For the father is sweet and his will is good. He knows the things that are yours, so that you may rest yourselves in them. For by the fruits one knows the things that are yours, that they are the children of the father, and one knows his aroma, that you originate from the grace of his countenance. For this reason, the father loves his aroma; and it manifests itself in every place; and when it is mixed with matter, he gives his aroma to the light; and into his rest he causes it to ascend in every form and in every sound. For it is not ears that smell the aroma, but it is the spirit that possesses the sense of smell and draws it for itself to itself and sinks into the aroma of the father. Thus the spirit cares for it and takes it to the place from which it has come, the first aroma, which has grown cold. It is in a psychical form, resembling cold wat... may 26 2015 ∞

Tony Mayer To my greatest student, my highest teaching is to be empty of identity! That's it! - Mooji Give up the idea of a journey to Truth, and truth is instantly revealed. Give up this idea that you are near, this concept will take you to another birth, it is itself avoidance. And this silly 'I still don't get it', don't pay any attention to this serpent's voice. Keep quiet. Let's see if you are fit just to remain quiet. Your malignant relationship with mind as master is over. The mind can be used for normal service, but can never help you to be who you are. No heady philosophy is required to know your Self. ~ Mooji sep 30 2014 ∞

jul 1 2014 + There is a spark of hope, a playful humor about the posture we take in meditation, which lies in the secret understanding that we all have the buddha nature. So when you assume this posture, you are playfully imitating a buddha, acknowledging and giving real encouragement to the emergence of your own buddha nature. You begin to respect yourself as a potential buddha. At the same time, you still recognize your relative condition. But because you have let yourself be inspired by a joyful trust in your own true buddha nature, you can accept your negative aspects more easily and deal with them more generously and with more humor. When you meditate, invite yourself to feel the self-esteem, the dignity, and the strong humility of the buddha that you are. If you simply let yourself be inspired by this joyful trust, it is enough: Out of this understanding and confidence, meditation will naturally ... jun 11 2014 ∞

mar 28 2014 + You will never get rid of mental-emotional blocks by trying to satisfy selfishness or by nursing negations; but you will get rid of them by taking the energy away from these negations and turning it toward constructive things that need building. In daily living, the simplest way to practice this is when you start to worry simply begin to do something constructive instead. Keep the energy away from the negative center, but do not do it through hypnotics or drugs that kill the power to think and the will. Do it by knowing that you have the power to change and that if you want to use it you can. If you use this power correctly, it will break up the neurotic tendencies in you. It is almost impossible for a neurosis to withstand a constructive attitude. One of them has to give up; and if you are dedicated to constructive purposes, it is the negative thing that will give up. So we must find out ... aug 26 2013 ∞

In manipulating a continuous parallel between contemporaneity and antiquity, Mr. Joyce is pursuing a method which others must pursue after him. They will not be imitators, any more than the scientist who uses the discoveries of an Einstein in pursuing his own, independent, further investigations. It is simply a way of controlling, of ordering, of giving shape and significance to the immense panorama of futility and anarchy which is contemporary history. It is a method already adumbrated by Mr. Yeats, and of the need for which I believe that Mr. Yeats to have been first contemporary to be conscious. Psychology (such as it is, and whether our reaction to it be comic or serious), ethnology, and The Golden Bough have concurred to make possible what was impossible even a few years ago. Instead of narrative method, we may now use the mythic method. It is, I seriously believe, a step toward makin... mar 24 2019 ∞

The Christ is man wholly expressing the power, the beauty, the love, and unlimited life of the Father that lives within him. It is man realizing that he is divine and becoming that realization, transcending dogma, prophesy, and fear, for he knows that beyond social consciousness lies the unlimited vigor called God. — Ramtha sep 18 2015 ∞

There is only your self – not a self that belongs to any object or person because there are no objects or people as such to which it could belong. This knowing belongs to itself alone. It is itself and knows itself alone. There are no others or objects there, no inside self or outside world. And what is the name we commonly give to this absence of otherness, distance, separation and objectness? It is beauty or love.

Because when you let yourself feel sad, your body has antibodies, it has happiness that comes rushing in to meet the sadness. So I was grateful to feel sad, and then I met it with true, profound happiness. It was such a trip.

Those who have proved themselves to be the greatest warriors, where did their might come from? It was from their thought, their feeling; 'I am mighty.'

mar 10 2014 + 1 - Always know and remember that you are "more than your physical body." This will provide instant perspective on any Earth Life System activity. The agony becomes tolerable, the ecstasy more profound. Locally induced fears evaporate. 2 - Recognize and control your survival drive. Use it instead of allowing it to use you. Here are some suggestions: a. One part of the formula (Physical Life = Good) is needed for the Earth Life System and is acceptable during your stay. The other part (Physical Death = Bad) you can discard because you will know better. b. Remember that your ultimate goal is not physical survival. Thus, while it is valid that you are here to do certain things and there are functions you must perform to be here to do them, you don't need to be desperate about it.
