Confucius

 Yin and yang, male and female, strong and weak, rigid and tender, heaven and earth, light and darkness, thunder and lightning, cold and warmth, good and evil...the interplay of opposite principles constitutes the universe.

Aldous Huxley

 

“The world is an illusion, but it is an illusion that we must take seriously, because it is as real as it goes, and in those aspects of reality which we are capable of apprehending. Our business is to wake up… We must not live thoughtlessly, taking our illusion for the complete reality, but at the same time we must not live too thoughtfully in the sense of trying to escape from the dream state.”



— Fyodor Dostoyevsky, Demons

 “There are seconds, they come only five or six at a time, and you suddenly feel the presence of eternal harmony, fully achieved. It is nothing earthly; not that it’s heavenly, but man cannot endure it in his earthly state. One must change physically or die. The feeling is clear and indisputable. As if you suddenly sense the whole of nature and suddenly say: yes, this is true.”




Carl Gustav Jung

 “The dream is the small hidden door in the deepest and most intimate sanctum of the soul, which opens to that primeval cosmic night that was soul long before there was conscious ego and will be soul far beyond what a conscious ego could ever reach.”




"Ego drowning into Space of Silence"

 


Adyashanti

 The moment you believe a thought, suffering follows. The moment you see it as a thought, freedom begins.



Joseph Campbell

 


Your sacred space is where you can find yourself over and over again.

Alan Watts

 Our consciousness is almost completely preoccupied with memory and expectation. We do not realize that there never was, is, nor will be any other experience than present experience.




Amit Ray

 “Beauty is the purest feeling of the soul. Beauty arises when soul is satisfied.”



Robert Adams

 "It makes no difference what anyone else is doing. Let them all do what they will do.

What does this have to do with you? When you try to straighten things out, when you try to change other people, when you try to make other people do what you want, you're holding up your spiritual progress.

Bless everyone and let them go. Leave the world alone. The world doesn't need your help, thank you. This world, remember, is an emanation of your own mind. Therefore you are seeing yourself when you look at the world."
