Mutually dependent

Ideals and demons are mutually dependent
The more ideals, the more demons

The more mindfulness, the more love

Letting be

I let others be.
I let myself be.
I let it be.

Whole

"Thirty spokes meet at a nave;
Because of the hole we may use the wheel.
Clay is moulded into a vessel;
Because of the hollow we may use the cup.
Walls are built around a hearth;
Because of the doors we may use the house.
Thus tools come from what exists,
But use from what does not."

TaoDeChing - Lao Tze
Version Peter A. Merel

Law of polarity

Thinking is grounded on the law of polarity
Followed by the law of resonance.
Both base on interconnectedness

Grief

Soft eyes

"Normally, when we are taken by surprise, there is a sudden narrowing of our visual periphery that exacerbates the fight or flight response — an intense, fearful, self-defensive focusing of the "gimlet eye" that is associated with both physical and intellectual combat. But in the Japanese self-defense art of aikido, this visual narrowing is countered by a practice called "soft eyes," in which one learns to widen one's periphery, to take in more of the world....

"Soft eyes, it seems to me, is an evocative image for what happens when we gaze on sacred reality. Now our eyes are open and receptive, able to take in the greatness of the world and the grace of great things. Eyes wide with wonder, we no longer need to resist or run when taken by surprise. Now we can open ourselves to the great mystery."

How many kilometre thick is the earth-atmosphere?

"75% of the atmosphere exists within 11 km of the planetary surface."

Mirror

Global economic competition is unjust and anti-social. Our personal competition is at times a mirror of that.

Hopefully

We profit in some way or other from global substantive injustice through buying. Through selling respectively more playing, a few of us very much. What gets awareness, changes. Hopefully soon.

Benevolent force of awareness

I accept myself as I am in this moment. I can trust the benevolent force of awareness.

DI

A way to be

"Practicing yoga and meditation has helped me recognize those moments in my life when my mind was open and there’s a sense of ease and peace. I had these feelings to compare with the stress and addiction I felt when I was overusing technology.

People who have very rare experiences of peace or ease can easily get lost in their minds, and the technology is just one more tool to keep them away from themselves.

But I think deep down we’ve all had those moments of inner peace. And there’s a way to be in this world to be responsible, take care of e-mails, and do it happily and from a place of wisdom."

Forgiving & healing

 "It is no small matter to be a witness to another person's life story. By listening with compassion we validate each other's life, make suffering meaningful, and help the process of forgiving and healing to take place."

Understanding is more than knowledge. It is more, because knowledge has boundaries. Understanding is  love.

The heart opening

"At the core enlightenment is about the heart opening. The heart opening reveals wisdom, and wisdom is mercy."

Gangaji

Love

"My root spiritual teacher, Nyoshul Khenpo, once said that a moment of enlightenment is a moment when we realize “the blessings that are always pouring forth.” We are, by nature, endowed with qualities of absolute goodness—purest love, compassion, wisdom, and tranquility. Those radiant qualities are intrinsic to our being. They are among the “blessings” to which Khenpo refers. A moment of enlightenment is a moment in which we newly notice such “blessings” as having been all around us, and within us, from the beginning. Whenever we are ready to notice, we can sense their healing, liberating energy pouring forth right here, right now.

One such radiant quality is unconditional love, the kind of love that doesn’t care what someone has thought or done but simply wishes him or her deep well-being and joy."

Mine- relationship with all of life

"George Fox, founder of the Quakers, was less interested in quoting other people's wisdom that in finding one's own. "What sayeth thou?" he'd ask. What bit of wisdom joy do you have for us today? Mine- relationship with all of life is what grows the soul."

Waking

Waking, by Hafiz


In the morning
When I began to wake,
It happened again -That feeling
That You, Beloved,
Had stood over me all night
...Keeping watch,
That feeling
That as soon as I began to stir
You put Your lips on my forehead
And lit a Holy Lamp
Inside my Heart.
