“Let us be grateful to people who make us happy; they are the charming gardeners who make our souls blossom.” ~ Marcel Proust

What we are is that which is watching us pretending to be
a separate being.

I am neither among sinners nor among saints Neither happy, nor unhappy I belong neither to water not to earth. I know not who I am. - Shah

"Only when we manifest the Lord within ourselves can we see Him
everywhere, in every leaf, in every grain, in every particle of sand,
and
realize nothing can happen without Him."

Great quotes! Thank you all! :smile:

My new book among many....

"Your Body Believes Every Word You Say"

~Barbara Levine

Know that the Spirit within you loves a made-up mind,
for this is where... fulfillment begins.

-John Randolph Price, from 'The Superbeings'...(that being, what
we are becoming...) :smile:
Highly recommend this book!

"You're a nice man but you're wasting your life" - J Krishnamurti

couldn't be said to be the most philosophical of k's quotes but then its never been quoted before id guess. iprobably because theres no lesson in it. but i suppose anything said by someone you suppose to be a master is quotable.

book sounds interesting. like a child would believe anything you say the body will too, i guess..

"Some get stoned, some get strange. Sooner or later it all gets real - walk on."
-Neil Young

"It is not enlightenment we are concerned with but the understanding of our inner conflicts" - J Krishnamurti. Can't find the original but something like that. It's not a book seller..

I said what about my eyes?
“Keep them on the road”
I said what about my passion?
“Keep it burning”
I said what about my heart?
“Tell me what you hold inside it?”
I said pain and sorrow?
He said…
“Stay with it” .

“ You say, "HI! I know you on so many levels of my being" and anything other than coming together is ridiculous in your estimation. You don’t say "please come with me and don’t go away." You say "come with me." You don’t say, "I’m worried that you won’t stay." You say, "I’m glad we’re here." You don’t say "what took you so long." You say, "it was worth waiting for." You don’t say, "I’m not sure I’m up to speed with you," you say, "here we are, the universe has brought us together. We deserve each other."-Abraham

You can be and do and have anything you want

We do not possess imagination enough to sense
what we are missing.

In a similar vein, kinda...

"to be awake is to live in a constant state of amazement"

can't find the author right now.

Mishlen Linden, about working on the night-side and the need to attend to your shadows.

"When one is blind to a force one gives that force the power of control.”

I
Have
Learned
So much from God
That I can no longer
Call
Myself
A Christian, a Hindu, a Muslim
A Buddhist, a Jew.

The Truth has shared so much of itself
With me
That I can no longer call myself
A man, a woman, an angel
Or even pure
Soul.

Love has
Befriended Hafiz so completely
It has turned to ash
And freed
Me

Of every concept and image
My mind has ever known.

~Hafiz

Trouble is, krishnamurti wasn't a master. He was just someone pretending to be a master.

“Synchronicity is an ever present reality for those who have eyes to see.” ~Carl Jung

Ooh, way to go to stir the pot, chief. I may have to alert Gem to this post, if he doesn't respond soon.

Ha !

(How's about that, I didn't know there's a minimum length for posts.)

If you believe, you will receive whatever you ask for in prayer.

Saint Germaine...

Life is abundant-here, now and forever.
Wherever you are, it needs only to be tapped.

“Water is fluid, soft, and yielding. But water will wear away rock, which is rigid and cannot yield. As a rule, whatever is fluid, soft, and yielding will overcome whatever is rigid and hard. This is another paradox: what is soft is strong.”


― Lao Tzu

“Live and let live, love and let love, flower and fade, and follow the natural curve, which flows on, pointless.”


― D.H. Lawrence

From "The Path", by Swami Kriyananda, direct devotee of Yogananda's,
passed last year. Page 300.

"The purpose, then, of spiritual work is not really to do things for God,
but rather to do the most important thing of all for ourselves:
to purify our own hearts."

"what are ya, some kind of wild animal?" - The Grinch

"There is no psychological evolution: there is only the ending of sorrow,
of pain, anxiety, loneliness, despair and all that." ~Krishnamurti

Now this is one thing I like that he said, thank you vecta3.

It is a good one isn't Miss H...this vid has just been put on youtube and is along those lines "Is suffering needed to face the necessity of change?" --so many spiritual traditions assert it is so that it's become "tradition", as pointed out in the vid. We guard it preciously but obviously suffering is only destructive. it can never lead to enlightenment. it must end is all. its not a route or a means. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FqIL...ature=youtu.be like there was ever something "to do" anyway?

'Who's the one that knows that you are thinking"

Eckhart tolle. It is a good practice to knowing yourself

Ooo, good one!!!
And 'what' you are thinking every second!!
I have personal experience of that OFTEN!!! :smile:

Great thread of wisdom, and I really enjoyed reading it. Two of my favourite quotes in this thread are....






Awareness or mindfulness is living in the present moment.

Here is a saying by Nisargadatta ....


A quiet mind is all you need. All else will happen rightly, once your mind is quiet. As the sun on rising makes the world active, so does self-awareness affect changes in the mind. In the light of calm and steady self-awareness, inner energies wake up and work miracles without any effort on your part.

- Nisargadatta Maharaj

Another Emmet Fox :smile:

Our words of today are our worlds of tomorrow.

Stillness begins when one locks their legs on the teeter totter of life.


~the master wanted me to say that~
