“There is nothing happening. Nobody is bound. Therefore, there is no question of liberation. It is only when one thinks of himself as an individual that he thinks of bondage and liberation.”

“

This isn’t a journey about becoming something. This is about unbecoming who we are not, about undeceiving ourselves. We don’t end up anywhere other than where we have always been, except that we perceive where we have always been completely differently. We realize that the heaven everyone is seeking is where we have always been. We are already as much as we will ever be. But the question is – do we know it?

…And so one of the most important steps is to come into agreement with your life so that you’re not turning away from yourself in any way. And the amazing thing is that when we are no longer turning away from ourselves, we find a great amount of energy, a great capacity for clarity and wisdom, and we start to see everything we need to see.

“It cannot be stressed too strongly that liberation does not involve the loss or destruction of such conventional concepts as the ego; it means seeing through them. In the same way that we can use the idea of the equator without confusing it with a physical mark upon the surface of the earth. Instead of falling below the ego, liberation surpasses it.”

- Alan Watts

“

Our whole life can pass us by as we wait for something to happen…

You don’t go to heaven, you become heaven.

You don’t go to hell, you become hell.

And it’s happening now.

“Perfection is another name for reality. The only way you can see anything as imperfect is if you believe a thought about it. “It’s inadequate, it’s ugly, it’s unfair, it’s flawed”—is that true?”

“

In my cross-cultural research on male initiation rites, I perceived five consistent lessons or truths communicated to the initiate, meant to separate initiates from their attachment to who they think they are and reattach them to who they really are. […]

These five essential messages of initiation are:

Life is hard.
You are not important.
Your life is not about you.
You are not in control.
You are going to die.

“The true purpose [of Zen] is to see things as they are, to observe things as they are, and to let everything go as it goes… Emotionally we have many problems, but these problems are not actual problems; they are something created by our self-centered ideas or views. When we realize the everlasting truth of “everything changes” and find our composure in it, we find ourselves in Nirvana.”

- Shunryu Suzuki

“For the perfect accomplishment of any art, you must get this feeling of the eternal present into your bones. Just the sense of flowing with the course of events in the same way that you dance to music—neither trying to outpace it nor lagging behind.”

Mon, 10 Aug 2020 20:51:27 +0200

“Suffering occurs when you believe in a thought that is at odds with what is, what was, or what may be. Experience this moment free of your mind’s interpretations of it. You are not your story. They are not your story about them. The world is not your story about the world. Suffering is how life tells you that you are resisting or misperceiving what is real and true.”

- Adyashanti

“

There will be times of doubt, an atmosphere of defeat, but come what may, just unload the baggage, throw it aside and continue your abidance in the ‘I-am’.

The ‘I-am’ will test your endurance but with earnestness it will become your friend and release you from your self-imposed stranglehold.

Mon, 06 Jul 2020 20:27:03 +0200

“Everything that you see, you hear, you think, is no more than your mind’s relative reality. The mind is constantly projecting images that, in one way or another, will ultimately cause you to become anxious. In silence, when you can finally come to realize their transience, you will begin to experience peace and freedom from fear.”

“Simply ask yourself the question, ’Am I aware?‘ There is a pause, and of course you answer, ’Yes.‘ What happened in that pause? You became aware of being aware. Now ask yourself that question again—and simply stay in that pause. This is meditation.”
