Problems cannot be solved by the level of awareness that created them - Albert Einstein


The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result - Albert Einstein


Condemnation without investigation is the highest form of ignorance - Albert Einstein

[Kryztian]

I would rather have a mind opened by wonder than one closed by belief.
--- Gerry Spence


If you dare to take up the banner of enlightenment, you will be attacked from all sides. From the inside you will be attacked by your own mind and from the outside you will be attacked by everyone else's mind. Anyone who dares to succeed automatically presents a huge threat. If true freedom is going to survive within you, you have to be willing to fight for it. You have to have a sword in each hand at all times. One sword is for your own mind and the other sword is for everyone else's mind. You must be ready to use them. Anyone who wants to be truly free must be willing to stand alone in the truth.
--- Andrew Cohen


Nothing in this world, nothing, works the way you think it does. There's always more to the story.
-- Jordan Maxwell

[ghostrider]

The fewer the words , the more powerful the point ... recently I learned this one - Patience brings roses but first it brings buds ...

The only certainty is uncertainty.

You reminded me of something Bashar said:


Change is the only constant

And the Corollary from the world of theoretical physics:

"There are no facts, save one: There are no facts. Everything else - is theory."

ie, that paradox is the only position, in this reality, sliding from one state to the next.

Which is that thing about differential being the only living thing, but it is not the differential that exists, but the self of recognition that exists between the two points as 'differential'.

Ie, time, mass, energy, consciousness..potential.....as differential.

The secret of success, is to go from mistake to mistake, without losing your enthusiasm.

Never test how deep the water is with both feet.

The trouble with being punctual, is that nobody's there to appreciate it.

If you do a job well you'll get stuck with it.

When tempted to fight fire with fire, remember that the Fire Dept. uses water.

my favorite saying right now is:

I'd rather stick needles in my eyes than put up with that $&I!

helps me put bs into a better perspective. i say it at least once a day - and everyone who knows me can see it coming by the look on my face!
warmest regards,

Here's one that my Dad used to say, I use it a lot because it is very true

" A man who lives in hope, dies in despair"

[Jules]

Sounds a little like Shakespeare.

These are the choices? What if we have many more, and this is a tool to put things into perspective? Which is what it is, with no ambiguous issues, of course.

"The birth of my daughter was my healing. I claimed my body back. I stopped being a victim. And I happened to marry a man who, because he's British, was not ingrained with that religious seed that America can scatter. He believes in a woman's right to her own sovereignty. It took the love of a good man. When I was reverting back into my, let's say, perversions, he would say: "Let's go get an ice cream. I am not going to enable you. If you can only come as a wanton woman for hire, because you feel dirty and shamed, then no. Women are goddesses." And I know that and I believe that. I chose a man who believed that too." ~ Tori Amos

"When a man grows older he begins to resemble Sean Connery. When a woman grows older she begins to resemble.....Sean Connery". Sorry ladies. ;)

My favorite:
"I live in a Universe of infinite possibilities"

"Sure....life on Earth is expensive....but it does include a free trip around the sun"

"The only thing I know is ..I don't know anything"

As my dear mother always said; "Sh t in one hand and wish in the other....see which fills up faster" I always loved that saying. I can see her now, standing with both hands on her ample hips, staring down at me....

"I know that I’m inferior to everybody in some way. You may be a better singer than I am or more centered in some ways. But I also know that I’m superior to you in something else. I know how to create a process to achieve things, and I never, ever give up. That makes us equal.” ~ Anthony Robbins

(not to mention all of the ways that people are underestimated and unknown...)...

If all you see are shadows you will never see the light that casts them.

I am just another point of you!

That's a good one, Sentinel -- and if I may say, welcome to Avalon! :)

You got me thinking...

Apparently, the darkness is full of light. You just can't see the light until something blocks it.

Considering the source of light, what is it except that which emerges from darkness? If it emerges from darkness, then perhaps it is the end product of darkness, and what we consider to be 'darkness' is actually the Source of everything.

Unless, of course, everything is light. :) And, maybe that's the whole point. 'Light' and 'dark' are the same thing...

Just thinking out loud, lol! ;)

[Meesh]

Hey Pris, and thank you for the welcome ;)

Maybe it's all illusory, like Plato's allegory of the cave; we're just shadows on the cave wall, which can't be reality as it is happening but merely an echo of it?

Odd thing is, if i close my eyes i can see light - go figure :)

Thanks

Yes... perhaps, it's all illusory.

That's true! I always see light when I close my eyes, too. Is it the rods and cones firing randomly... and/or is it our third eye kicking in? :cool:

Everyone dabbles in animation ... we all animate earth matter into living vehicles for ourselves so that we can experience this plane of existence, but we just refer to this as, underwhelmingly, as "having a body" ;)
