IT'S BEEN SAID...
Knowledge is part of human stupidity. Life is such a mystery it cannot be known, And, if it cannot be known, how can it be taught? And, if it cannot be taught, what is the point of teacher & pupil? We are already enlightened. Learning is dangerous. Your head overdoses with words, concepts, emotions, facts, information. It becomes very noisy and you cannot hear the silence. That silence is lost in the noise of knowledge. Unlearning, becoming innocent, will bring you home. - Osho

Hell is when you both cannot find and cannot escape yourself. - Shozan Jack Haubner

We would rather be ruined than changed. - W. H. Auden
***
Fear is what drives much of our behaviour, and, at the same time, it is the one thing that we least want to feel. - Ezra Bayda
***
Guilt pulls you into the past and fear pulls you into the future.
***
Forgiveness is giving up all hope of a better past.
***
Enlightenment is permanent because we have not produced it, we have merely discovered it.
***
Everyone knows the same truth. And our lives consist of how we choose to distort it. - Woody Allen
***
If you're an old man and you're not grumpy then you're not paying attention.
***
The intelligent man prefers no explanation to a false one.

When what ought to be done is neglected, what ought not to be done is done. - Dhammapada

All the laws of the Universe are in favour of the continuation of the Universe!
And so it continues. For 18 billion years.
If there was one imperfection, one false law, it would eventually see its own self-destruction.
The Universe continues to be perfect at every moment and never permits even the first imperfect event to occur. It goes from perfect to perfect to perfect.
All laws are in favour of continuation.
We are the Universe and the Universe is us.
We live within the perfect laws of the Universe.
What happens to you is the best possible thing that can happen to you.
The Universe doesn't make mistakes. - Chris Prentiss

When you're young your opponent is the future; but when you're not young, your opponent is the past and everything you've done in it and the problem of getting away from it. - Richard Ford

The Universe is perfect in itself and should not be coerced or forced to conform to human desires. - Adeline Yen Mah

Inner exploration shows us that an individual is not one self, but several. While we see ourselves with a central self, in fact we are a collection of satellites revolving around an inner core, or essence.These varying views we experience as indecision, deliberation and conflict. Our individual character is the sum of many parts. While we may never feel more alone that when we are in a crowd, we may never be more in a crowd than when we are alone!. - Richard Harvey

On Earth there is no Heaven, but there are pieces of it. - Jules Renard

Perseverance is not a long race - it is many short races, one after another. - Walter Elliott

We live and learn. Unfortunately, in that order. - Robert Wyatt
