The complexity of the Universe gives rise to the painful experience of the illusion of separation and also paradoxically makes Life that much more enjoyable and enriching to experience.

All men dream, but not equally. Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds, wake in the day to find that it was vanity. But the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act on their dreams with open eyes, to make them possible.

Every time we meet the unknown, we are meeting the true nature of existence and the true nature of ourselves. Each moment is a little death and re-birth, in which we deconstruct ourselves, dive into the unknown, redefine ourselves and emerge from the other side crystalized into a new form, while becoming known once again.
You were not born out of the nothingness. There is no such thing as the nothingness. You were actually born out of the everythingness, and to the everythingness shall you return.
Don’t devalue any experience in your life. You are all experiences.
You are always reaching your potential because your potential is infinite.
Joy is the feeling of celebrating the fact that you are being yourself. The joy you feel as you dance to your favourite music, or play with your pet, or eat your favourite meal, or follow your curiosity, is your feeling of celebrating that you are being most “you” and that you’ve chosen an experience that reflects the being you prefer to be. As you’re joyful, colours get more vivid, the sun shines more brilliantly, your heart sings, your very cells tingle with excitement. It’s as if the whole universe is smiling and celebrating the birth of the wonderful being you have chosen to be.

We are more often frightened than hurt; and we suffer more from imagination than from reality.
— Seneca (via lazyyogi)
Amid the mad scramble, you do make your own reality. I admit that this sounds too simple, but you will not be caught in an earthquake if you do not want to be, and no one dies who has not decided to do so. You make your own reality—or you do not.
And if you do not, then you are everywhere a victim, and the universe must be an accidental mechanism appearing with no reason. So that the miraculous picture you have seen of your body came accidently into creation, and out of some cosmic accident attained its miraculous complexity. And that body was formed so beautifully for no reason except to be a victim.
That is the only other alternative to forming your own reality. You cannot have a universe in between. You have a universe formed with a reason, or a universe formed without a reason. And in a universe of reason, there are no victims. Everything has a reason, or nothing has a reason.
So—choose your side.

Organize your reality according to your strength. Organize your reality according to your playfulness, according to your dreams, according to your hopes, and then you can help those who organize their reality according to their fears.

Hold the space of who you are, of who you’ve become. You cannot be the same as another so don’t even try to be anyone else. You cannot not be different than others in the expression of yourself, so don’t even try to be different than them either. Just be you. Love you. Hold the space of who you prefer to be.
Allow others to hold the space of who they are. They cannot be you so don’t try to make them like you. They cannot not be different than you in their expression of their self, so don’t even try to make them different than you either. Just allow them to be them. Love them. Allow them to hold the space of who they prefer to be.
We create ourselves by glistening from each other what each of us would like to incorporate into ourselves and what each of us would like to leave out. This act of creation depends on our inherent uniqueness and differences. We each are enriched by our exposure to the unique expressions of everyone else.

There is no civilization, no system of science, art, or philosophy, that did not originate in the mind.
When you give lip service to ideas with which you do not agree, you are betraying your own ideals, harming yourself to some extent, and society as well, insofar as you are denying yourself and society the benefit of your own understanding.
Each person is an idealist.
I simply want to help you practice your idealism in the acts of your daily life.
Each person alive helps paint the living picture of civilization as it exists at any given time, in your terms.
Be your own best artist.
Your thoughts, feelings and expectations are like the living brush strokes with which you paint your corner of life’s landscape. If you do your best in your own life, then you are indeed helping to improve the quality of all life.
Your thoughts are as real as snowflakes or raindrops or clouds. They mix and merge with the thoughts of others, to form man’s livingscape, providing the vast mental elements from which physical events will be formed.

The eye projects and focuses the inner image (idea) onto the physical world in the same manner that a motion-picture camera transfers an image onto a screen. The mouth creates words. The ears create sound. The difficulty in understanding this principle is due to the fact that we’ve taken it for granted that the image and sound already exist for the senses to interpret. Actually the senses are the channels of creation by which idea is projected into material expression.
The basic idea is that the senses are developed, not to permit awareness of an already existing material world, but to create it…

If you allow the “external” reality to be the sole influence in your life you will be forever trapped within it and quickly grow to resent it. The influence of your “internal” imagination is what is needed to set you free. Imagination is the key that unlocks any reality.

I find animals to be very inspirational. They are 100% in their beingness, without a sliver of space for anything other than the idea that they are. There is no room for doubt or hesitancy. Their actions are full of conviction. Every moment of their lives animals are gloriously being themselves.
