understanding mind seduction
Understanding is the ultimate seduction of the mind. Go to the truth beyond the mind.
heart mind acting
Acting from the appropriateness of the heart, we are freed from the neediness of the mind.
inspirational heart mind
When we turn to our innate wisdom for the harmony of mind and gut, we heal the entrance to the heart as it seeks to beat in rhythm with the world.
joy ongoing mindfulness
You have to remember one life, one death–this one! To enter fully the day, the hour, the moment whether it appears as life or death, whether we catch it on the inbreath or outbreath, requires only a moment, this moment. And along with it all the mindfulness we can muster, and each stage of our ongoing birth, and the confident joy of our inherent luminosity. (24)
letting-go mind balance
The demons aren't the noise. They are our aversion to the noise...when you can accept discomfort, doing so allows a balance of mind. That surrender, that letting go of wanting anything to be other than it is right in the moment, is what frees us from hell.
attachment feelings mind
Non-attachment is not the elimination of desire. It is the spaciousness to allow any quality of mind, any thought or feeling, to arise without closing around it, without eliminating the pure witness of being. It is an active receptivity to life.
positive-thinking roots mind
Much thought has at its root a dissatisfaction with what is. Wanting is the urge for the next moment to contain what this moment does not. When there is wanting in the mind, that moment feels incomplete. Wanting is seeing elsewhere. Completeness is being right here.
live-life meditation-practice meditation-mind
Meditation allows us to directly participate in our lives instead of living life as an afterthought.
love-is mind-love bridges
We shall not cease from exploring,And the end of our exploring Will be to arrive where we started And know the place for the first time.For one human being to love another: that is perhaps the most difficult of all our tasks, the ultimate, the last test and proof, the work for which all other work is but preparation. Go to the truth beyond the mind. Love is the bridge.
what would you say? And why are you waiting?
act almost chance formidable frankly interest maybe nuisance party point rodney self view
What's in it for them ? who knows? Maybe they just feel it's a chance to weaken the ACT Party and Rodney who would be a nuisance, he's a formidable person... frankly from the point of view of self interest it's almost like nuisance litigation.
call soon
If you were going to die soon and had only one phone call you could make, who would you call and what would you say? And why are you waiting?
I have never lived a life so much larger than death. (93)
inspirational people honor
There is a delicate balance that we need to honor as we try to find meaning in any event or state of mind: Many people confuse finding meaning with finding a reason, putting our finger on something or someone for blame.
