Crap detector

The most important thing about reading
is developing your own crap detector.

Be a witness, not a judge.
Focus on yourself, not on others.
Listen to your heart, not to the crowd.

Evolve

It is a sign of spiritual maturity when the individual experiences
for him or herself
a powerful urgency to evolve.
A sign of maturity, in a spiritual context, is knowing
how precious every moment actually is.

Rich and satisfied




You are really rich when you enjoy yourself as you are,
when you are contented with what you have.

Buddha Bar Vol 6 - She will never learn

Yeah, right

Meditation is a knack.
It is the simplest art in the world, to be silent.
It is not a doing, it is a non-doing.
How can it be difficult?

Yes...*sigh* how can it? ;-)

The great path




  The great path has no gates,
  Thousands of roads enter it.
  When one passes through 
  this gateless gate
  He walks freely
  between heaven and earth.

The inside

Any time you can
take 5 minutes to go inside.
Close your eyes and observe
your breathing and your heartbeat.
Listen simply to the silence inside.
Learn to appreciate these moments
and repeat them as much as you feel
until you cherish them
more than anything else.

Dharma

Accept yourself

There is no need of any competition with anybody.
You are yourself, and as you are, you are perfectly good.
Accept yourself.

Osho

Sen när gjorde vi nånsin det?
Det är en sak att säga något klokt.
Det är en annan att försöka leva det.
Men vi kan ju inte ge upp för att det finns
en risk att vi inte lyckas?
För det betyder ju att det också finns en chans att vi lyckas.
Med det vi nu vill ta oss för.

Just...Accept yourself.

My kingdom

Everything exists according to its own nature -
our individual perceptions of worth, correctness, beauty, size and value
exist inside our heads, not outside them.

Man upptäcker inga nya världsdelar
om man inte har mod att släppa alla kuster ur sikte.

André Gide



På kurens sista piller upptäckte jag lejonet som var tryckt på det.
Kändes lite E. Gillar ju inte att knapra piller öht men nu har jag gått med skiten i ett par månader så nu fick det vara nog. Och om det dessutom är piller med små lellon på kan de ju inte vara så harmfulla?

Dare to live

Are you happy with yourself?
Are you doing what you like?
Gather courage and go for it.
Life belongs to those who dare to live.

And the trouble is

you risk even more.

Fear and Desire

The warrior of light studies the two columns on either side of the door he is trying to open.
image246
One is called Fear and the other is called Desire.
The warrior looks at the colums of Fear and on
it is written: 'You are entering a dangerous,
unfamiliar world where everything you have
learned up until now will prove useless.'

The warrior looks at the colums of Desire
and on it is written: 'You are about to leave
a familiar world wherein are stored all the
things you ever wanted and for which you
struggled long and hard.'

The warrior smiles because nothing frightens him and nothing holds him. With the confidence of one who knows what he wants, he opens the door.

Paulo Coelho - Manual of the Warrior of the Light


Amor vincit omnia

image239
Love is not the absence of something
Love is not the presence of something
Love just is

When people talk about love they often mean
the absence of inner emptiness,
or a feeling of momentary euforia.

But that's not love.
Love just is.

(Indisk nunna, Svt1 kl. 22:59 ons 2/4)


Allt handlar inte om människor
Det finns kärlek oberoende av mänskliga relationer eller mänskligt liv
(och oberoende av den egna uppfattningen om självet).

To please or not to please?

If you try to please everyone,
you end up pleasing noone.

Changes

  Change is constant in life.
  Mind should accord with changes.
  Do not use yersterday's mind
  to perceive today's happenings.

  Zhuang Zi

To feel good

I feel good to be where I am and where I live now.
My feeling good does not depend on the people I am with
nor on the place where I live.
My feeling good is a space within myself which is always present.
I carry it everywhere I go,
therefore I am free and contented wherever I am.

The desert and the rain

image173
Observe, observe yourself.
Your mind and conditionings
are your only source of trouble.
Be more and more silent,
become a witness of yourself.
Slowly slowly your true being will reveal itself.

"I miss you like the desert miss the rain".
There are many ways to describe love and longing.
This was the most beautiful someone ever said to me.

Hopefully I will do a
Vipassana course soon again.
I need to get in contact with myself and my true feelings.
Or rahter get in contact with myself beyond all my feelings and emotions.
I cannot let random play control my destiny. I need to know what's worth fighting for.

Reality


Reality is always here and now.
Yesterday is gone and it cannot come back, tomorrow is not here yet
and it will never come because it it always now.
You want to be happy, be happy now.
You want to meditate, meditate now.
Do not postpone.

Are you telling the truth?

Så vad är sanning då...?

Do not think that the knowledge you presently possess
is changeless, absolute truth.
Truth is found in life and not merely in conceptual knowledge.
Be ready to learn throughout your entire life and to observe reality
in yourself and in the world at all times.
