Words are the net used
To capture the world.
Mind is the means used
To devour the world.
Both fail;
Can the wind be kept in
A box?
Can light be trapped in a bottle?
Truth is retrospectively viewed
and already history when
It is told.

My motto has always been to protect the oppressed even if he is my enemy but I will never forgive the traitor even if he is my friend.

India's Ambassador to Canada

And just as it only takes a moment to die, it only takes a moment to live. You just close your eyes and let every futile fear slip away. And then, in this new state, free from fear, you ask yourself: who am I? If I could live without doubt what would I do? If I could be kind without fear of being ****ed over? If I could love without fear of being hurt? If I could taste the sweetness of today without thinking of how I will miss that taste tomorrow? If I could not fear the passing of time and the people it will steal? Yes. What would I do? Who would I care for? What battle would I fight? Which paths would I step down? What joys would I allow myself? What internal mysteries would I solve? How, in short, would I live?

How to Stop Time

"To love means loving the unlovable. To forgive means pardoning the unpardonable.
Faith means believing the unbelievable. Hope means hoping when everything seems hopeless."

- G. K. Chesterton

[Eva2]

Close your eyes and see that everywhere It Is,
Every moment It Is. Noumenon is that by which the world has its being.
Noumenon does not know Itself,
But It creates Its own opportunity to do so via
Expressing or manifesting Itself.
This requires duality, time, space, the
Energy and Its instrument, the form.
From this, a relationship with phenomena can
Then be established.
But never lose sight of two important points.
First, the relationship between
The body and the phenomena it encounters is
An object-to-object relationship.
Second, that there is nothing separate between
The Seeing and the seen.

"One day you will ask me which is more important? My life or yours? I will say mine and you will walk away not knowing that you are my life."
