spiritual long mind
We've been proceeding so long on the plane of consciousness, we don't realize we are spiritual beings. Our minds, our senses, and the society around us all say, "Come on, you're getting into fantasy."
mean mind trying
Religions are institutions that push you up the mountain and then they have their fantasies about the spirit. I mean they try to make God like the human psyche and it's wrong. I mean it's a projection of the mind, and you can use it to get a start and then you must leave it behind.
thinking mind consciousness
Faith, consciousness, and awareness all exist beyond the thinking mind.
profound mind patterns
Psychedelics helped me to escape.. albeit momentarily.. from the prison of my mind. It over-rode the habit patterns of thought and I was able to taste innocence again. Looking at sensations freshly without the conceptual overly was very profound.
acceptance mind suffering
Birth, death, and suffering all bring us to the very edge of what our minds can understand.
reality creating mind
If you keep examining your mind, you'll come to see that thoughts of who you are and how it all is are creating the reality you're experiencing.
heart intuition mind
Counseling has to do with intuition, with work on oneself, with the quietness of one's mind and the openness of one's heart.
mindfulness moments truth-is
The richness of a moment comes when it's both full and empty at the same time. The truth is, we live simultaneously in time and timelessness.
heart thinking mind
The thinking mind is what is busy. You have to stay in your heart. You have to be in your heart. Be in your heart. The rest is up here in your head where you are doing, doing, doing.
heart mind flow
Love flows. Love doesn't know boundaries. The mind creates boundaries. The mind creates the boundary of separate me and you. The heart just keeps embracing and opening out.
heart mind way
Our rational minds can never understand what has happened, but our hearts.. if we can keep them open to God, will find their own intuitive way.
life mind clinging
What we're seeing "out there" is the projection of where we're at--the projection of the clingings of our minds.
unconditional-love people mind
I remember my first visit with my guru. He had shown that he read my mind. So I looked at the grass and I thought, My god, hes going to know all the things I dont want people to know. I was really embarrassed. Then I looked up and he was looking directly at me with unconditional love.
mindfulness layers moments
I experience each moment like baklava: rich in this layer, and this layer, and this layer.
