 “To be alive in this beautiful, self-organizing universe – to participate in the dance of life with senses to perceive it, lungs that breathe it, organs that draw nourishment from it – is a wonder beyond words.”





HUM by Fred LaMotte

 


Osho

 


Fyodor Dostoersky

 When I look back on my past and think how much time I wasted on nothing, how much time has been lost in futilities, errors, laziness, incapacity to live; how little I appreciated it, how many times I sinned against my heart and soul - then my heart bleeds. Life is a gift, life is happiness, every minute can be an eternity of happiness!



Louis Pasteur

 


Osho

 


— Marcus Aurelius, Meditations

 

“The soul becomes dyed with the color of its thoughts.”



Walter Russell

 The universe exists solely of waves of motion. There exists nothing other than vibration.




Nisargadatta Maharaj

 

“Awareness is primordial; it is the original state, beginningless, endless, uncaused, unsupported, without parts, without change. Consciousness is on contact, a reflection against a surface, a state of duality. There can be no consciousness without awareness, but there can be awareness without consciousness, as in deep sleep. Awareness is absolute, consciousness is relative to its content; consciousness is always of something. Consciousness is partial and changeful, awareness is total, changeless, calm and silent. And it is the common matrix of every experience.”

Shāndilya Upanishad 1.41 of the Atharva-Veda

 For the destruction of the chitta [mind], there are two ways—yoga and jnāna [knowledge]. … Yoga is the forcible repression of the modifications of the mind and jnāna is the thorough inquiry into them.
