Stillness...

Look at a tree, a flower, a plant. Let your awareness rest upon it. 

How still they are, how deeply rooted in Being. 

Allow nature to teach you stillness.

Eckhart Tolle

On the NOW!

“Most people treat the present moment as if it 

were an obstacle that they need to overcome. 

Since the present moment is life itself, 

it is an insane way to live.”

Eckhart Tolle

On blossoming...

“And the day came when the risk it took to remain tight 

inside the bud was more painful than the risk it took to 

blossom.” 

Anais Nin

With Every Breath (Anonymous)

With every breath I take today,

I vow to be awake;

And every step I take,

I vow to take with a grateful heart

So I may see with eyes of love

into the hearts of all I meet,

To ease their burden when I can

And touch them with a smile of peace.

(Thanks to the unknown author!)

Purpose....

"Each person comes into this world with a specific destiny; he (she) has something to fulfill, some message has to be delivered, some work has to be completed. You are not here accidentally; you are here meaningfully. There is a purpose behind you. The Whole intends to do something through you."

Osho

Our enlightened essence...

“The Buddha could accomplish the enlightened mind because its very nature was already there. That is why Buddhahood, enlightenment, is possible. If there were no such nature or potential, it would be impossible.”

His Holiness the Dalai Lama

"Imagine All the People"

Thought and matter

Matter is the evolution of energy. First there is thought, then there is thought form, and then there is matter. Matter is only thought that has been thought upon by more.

Esther Hicks (Abraham)

Dissolving dualities...

“Consider movement stationary and the stationary in motion, both movement and rest disappear. When such dualities cease to exist Oneness itself cannot exist. To this ultimate finality no law or description applies.”

Seng-tsan

"Verses on the Faith Mind"

Best description of Mind and Matter...

"This tree always wanted to be a Tuba!"

"Thought that is projected, now thinks. So it's not possible to separate the thinker from the thought, because the thinker thinks a thought, and then the thought thinks and becomes a thinker, and then the thought, that was a thought that is now a thinker, thinks another thought, which becomes a thinker, also. And so, there is a constant summoning of Life Force. Now, a thought that is thought longer becomes Thought Form. A thought that is thought upon by many, becomes Thought Form. A thought that is thought upon by many, in a very clear undiluted fashion, as from Nonphysical Perspective where there is no resistance, becomes physical matter. That's why the physical universe is a by-product of the Nonphysical attention or focus. So, the Nonphysical Energy that created this physical mass from the Energy of the Universe, the mass itself, now becomes a thought that is thinking, that is attracting the Energy."

Esther Hicks (Abraham)

New spiritual practice...

“Here is a new spiritual practice for you: 

don't take your thoughts too seriously.”

Eckhart Tolle

Perception to change reality...

“Treat people as if they were what they ought to be 

and you help them to become what they are capable of being.” 

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Keep on plowing...

“Pray for a good harvest, but keep on plowing.” 

Nancy Otto

Finding truth...

“You can only find truth with logic if 

you have already found truth without it.” 

G.K. Chesterton

Emoto...

When you have become the Embodiment of Gratitude, 

think about how Pure the Water that fills your Body will be.

When this happens, you Yourself will be a Beautiful Shining 

Crystal of Light. 

Masaru Emoto

Timing of kindness...

“You cannot do a kindness too soon, 

for you never know how soon it will 

be too late.” 

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Miracle...

“If we could see the miracle of a single flower clearly, 

our whole life would change.” 

Buddha

KARMA...

“Karma is not something complicated or philosophical. Karma means watching your body, watching your mouth, and watching your mind. Trying to keep these three doors as pure as possible is the practice of karma.”

Lama Thubten Yeshe

"The Bliss of Inner Fire"

More on Angels...

“We all see angels; if we never recognize them, 

it's because they come in ways we don't expect.” 

Eileen Elias Freeman,

"The Angels' Little Instruction Book"

Kindness...

“When you carry out acts of kindness you get a 

wonderful feeling inside. It is as though something 

inside your body responds and says, 

yes, this is how I ought to feel. ” 

Rabbi Harold Kushner
