Your thoughts become your beliefs, but more astounding is that quantum physics says that your thoughts are energy and that they entangle the thoughts of others around you. So your beliefs change the reality not only within you, but around you. By being one in Abundance, Beauty, Creativity, Love and Kindness, then being Receptive to the Expanding entanglement, you create what you seek within. ~Unknown
To enter into the initiation of sound, of vibration and mindfulness, is to take a giant step toward consciously knowing the soul. There are hundreds of accurate models for this great journey inward. Each requires belief and discipline as well as the will to allow the inner and outer worlds to relate. Listening, learning, study, and practice are important tools. But we need the courage to enter into ourselves with the great respect and mystery that combines the faith of a child, the abandon of a mystic, and the true wisdom of an old shaman...
"Here's to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The trouble-makers. The round heads in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They're not fond of rules, and they have no respect for the status-quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify, or vilify them. But the only thing you can't do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do."
The fish trap exists because of the fish; once you've gotten the fish you can forget the trap. The rabbit snare exists because of the rabbit; once you've gotten the rabbit you can forget the snare. Words exist because of meaning; once you've gotten the meaning, you can forget the words. Where can I find a man who has forgotten words so I can have a word with him?
Do not believe in anything simply because you have heard it. Do not believe in anything simply because it is spoken and rumored by many. Do not believe in anything simply because it is found written in your religious books. Do not believe in anything merely on the authority of your teachers and elders. Do not believe in traditions because they have been handed down for many generations. But after observation and analysis, when you find that anything agrees with reason and is conducive to the good and benefit of one and all, then accept it and live up to it. - Buddha
Trees and animals, humans and insects, flowers and birds: these are active images of the subtle energies that flow from the stars throughout the universe. Meeting and combining with each other and the elements of the Earth, they give rise to all living things. The superior person understands this, and understands that his or her own energies play a part in it. Understanding these things, one respects the Earth as his or her mother, the heavens as his or her father, and all living things as his or her brothers and sisters. Those who want to know the truth of the universe should practice reverence for all life; this manifests as unconditional love and respect for oneself and all other beings. -LAO TZU
"If you want to nourish a bird, you should let it live any way it chooses. Creatures differ because they have different likes and dislikes. Therefore the sages never require the same ability from all creatures. Concepts of right should be founded on what is suitable for each. The true sage leaves wisdom to the ants, takes a cue from the fishes, and leaves willfulness to the sheep." -CHANG TZU
You forget your feet when your shoes are comfortable... Understanding forgets right and wrong when the mind is comfortable. There is no change in what is inside, no following what is outside, when the response to the moment is comfortable. You begin with what is comfortable and never experience what is uncomfortable when you know the comfort of forgetting what is comfortable.
Make your will one! Don't listen with your ears, listen with your mind. No, don't listen with your mind, but listen with your spirit. Listening stops with the ears, thinking stops with the mind, but spirit is empty and waits on all things. The way gathers emptiness alone. Emptiness is the fasting of the mind.
How do I know that loving life is not a delusion? How do I know that hating death I am not like a man who, having left home in his youth, has forgotten his way back? How do I know that the dead did not wonder why they ever longed for life?
