'Do not seek after what you yearn for, seek after the source of the yearning itself.' - Adyashanti

'True salvation is a state of freedom - from fear, from suffering, from a perceived state of lack and insufficiency and therefore from all wanting, needing, grasping, and clinging. It is freedom from compulsive thinking, from negativity, and above all from past and future as a psychological need.' - Eckhart Tolle

I just wanted to say wow...good way to put it, Adya...I went to Boulder, Co once to see him...patient guy - since a mentally
challenged person took up most of everyone's time with him.

I remember you saying you'd been to see Adya - aw, it warms my heart to think that he spent so much time talking to the mentally-challenged person, always loved Adya.:love4:

The true beauty within all art comes not from any picture or painting, but from the beauty that already exists within each person; a piece of art can only be beautiful if the person who beholds it is in themselves a beautiful person.

To see the most profound beautiful spiritual art whilst in physical life, you only have to recognise the true beauty of yourself and project it into all you behold. Everything you shall perceive then shall become a work of art and a spiritual masterpiece.

~ Spirit Guide Sparrow

You are the vibrational writers of the script of your life, and everyone else in the Universe
is playing the part that you have assigned to them.

-Abraham-Hicks

That is a very profound quote ... depending on one's interpretation of the word "You". :smile: :hug3:

Trying to start trouble again, I see. :biggrin:


Always bear this in mind: Everything is in God's hands, and you are His tool to be used by Him as He pleases.
Try to grasp the significance of 'all is His' and you will immediately feel free from all burdens.

Anandamayi Ma

As you well know, I love :smile: starting trouble. :wink:

As you also know, my teacher was a soul sister of Anandamayi Ma and frequently quoted her revealing statement: "I am the all pervading Reality". The words "I" and "You" can take on different meanings depending on the perspective from which one is speaking .. as in the case of Anandamayi Ma.:biggrin:

To get back to starting trouble, I attended a Death Cafe recently with the intention of just listening to the group which included doctors, palliative care providers, a philosopher author, and others from the various wisdom traditions. When asked directly about why I was there, I mentioned that my interest started with a near death experience many years ago ... and, from that point, without intending it, my experiences became the focus of the meeting after which I exchanged contact info with several people there. I start "trouble" wherever I go. :biggrin:

Still Waters -how exciting for them to have an NDEr there!!!

''Always remember that you belong to no one, and no one belongs to you.
Reflect that some day you will suddenly have to leave everything in this world — so make the acquaintanceship of God now.
He only is wise who devotes himself to realizing, not reading only, the ancient revelations.''

-Lahiri Mahasaya
