Reflections

 

The most beautiful and profound emotion we can experience is the sensation of the mystical. It is the sower of all true science. He to whom this emotion is a stranger, who can no longer wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead. To know that what is impenetrable to us really exists, manifesting itself as the highest wisdom and the most radiant beauty, which our dull faculties can comprehend only in their primitive forms - this knowledge, this feeling, is at the center of true religion.   - Albert Einstein

 

Life is so vast, so immense, so strange, mysterious, it cannot be reduced into a rule or a maxim. All maxims fall short, are too small; they cannot contain life and its living energies. Hence the golden rule is significant, that there are no golden rules.  -Osho

 

There is no matter as such.
All matter originates and exists only by virtue of a force which brings the particle of an atom to vibration and holds this most minute solar system of the atom together.
We must assume beind this force the existence of a conscious and intelligent mind. This mind is the matrix of all matter.  -Max Planck

 

"...there is something mystical about our being,
it cannot be explained.
Something comes here for something,
to discover something,
to recognize something,
to dissolve itself in something.
It's an intuitive thing, something touches inwardly,
and out of this touching
some responding is taking place." -Mooji

 

"When will they call for force to stop the injustice and tyranny when respectable citizens were silent?" -Sophocles (495 BC-406 BC)

 

We are truly in a war. It is not the war we imagine we are in, which is the way our true adversaries want it. It is not a foreign war against a foreign enemy. It is a war on consciousness, a war on our own minds. The global war on terror that is being fought around the world is an embodied reflection in the material world of a deeper, more fundamental war that is going on in the realm of consciousness itself.
-Paul Levy/ The War on Consciousness

 

How do you disempower a corrupt system?
By empowering yourself.
How do you awaken a sleeping population?
By awakening yourself.
How do you heal a toxic society?
By healing yourself.
-Neil Kramer

 

What is Enlightenment?

See, always this mind wants something higher;
if he goes to the material world he wants to be rich,
if he goes to the emotional world he wants to be loved,
if he goes to the spiritual world he wants to become enlightened.
Always the higher things mind seeks.
There is no such thing like "enlightenment",
there is no such thing "awakening".
"That" is already "that".
We are not ignorant, we must not become enlightened.
-Radha Ma
