“Half the time you think your thinking you’re actually listening.”
– Terence McKenna
“Suffering is a natural alarm, warning us that we’re attaching to a thought; when we don’t listen, we come to accept this suffering as an inevitable part of life. It’s not.”
~ Stephen Mitchell with Byron Katie
“Forgiveness is a funny thing.
It warms the heart and cools the sting.”
– William Arthur Ward
“My soul is not contained within the limits of my body;
My body is contained within the limitlessness of my soul.”
– Jim Carrey
“The capacity to be alone is the capacity to love. It may look paradoxical to you, but it’s not. It is an existential truth: only those people who are capable of being alone are capable of love, of sharing, of going into the deepest core of another person–without possessing the other, without becoming dependent on the other, without reducing the other to a thing, and without becoming addicted to the other. They allow the other absolute freedom, because they know that if the other leaves, they will be as happy as they are now. Their happiness cannot be taken by the other, because it is not given by the other.”
– Osho
Wake up
You’re gettin’ high on your own supply
Oh, baby, you’re still alive when you could’ve died, oh
The world is not around because of you
You know I’m not around because of you
“Live without pretending,
Love without depending,
Listen without defending,
Speak without offending.”
― Drake
