"Dying is an art, like everything else. I do it exceptionally well. I do it so it feels like hell. I do it so it feels real. I guess you could say I've a call."

Sylvia Plath

"Perhaps when we find ourselves wanting everything, it is because we are dangerously close to wanting nothing."

Sylvia Plath

"A child-like man is not a man whose development has been arrested. On the contrary, he is a man who has given himself a chance of continuing to develop long after most adults have muffled themselves in the cocoon of middle aged habit and convention."

Aldous Huxley

Whatever I do, I do with the greatest love that I have in me. Try this, and you will see that you do not become fatigued at all. Love is one of the greatest stimulants to the will. Under the influence of love the will can do almost anything. ~ Yogananda

"There seem to be two kinds of searchers: those who seek to make their ego something other than it is, holy, happy, unselfish (as though you could make a fish unfish), and those who understand that all such attempts are just gesticulation and play-acting, that there is only one thing that can be done, which is to dis-identify themselves with the ego, by realizing its unreality, and by becoming aware of their eternal identity with pure being." - Wei Wu Wei


"You are only a disciple because your eyes are closed. The day you open them you will see there is nothing you can learn from me or anyone. What then is a Master for? To make you see the uselessness of having one." - Anthony De Mello

In the body, life is templed; in the mind, light is templed; in the soul, peace is templed.
The deeper one goes into the soul the more that peace is felt; that is superconsciousness.

-P. Yogananda

"Whatsoever you have done is nothing in comparison to that which you can do. And whatsoever you can do is nothing in comparison to that which you are." - Osho

"We are the Ones we have been waiting for. Be Love, Beloveds."
