Free to Be As It Is

Let everything be free to be just as it is.
Do not separate yourself from the world
and try to order it around.

Alan Watts

At War with Reality?

You can't empty your mind of thoughts.
You might as well try to empty the ocean of it water.
But, why would you even want to empty your mind,
unless you're at war with reality?

Byron Katie

Like a Drop of Water

The meaning of life is to take the interconnected oneness
and adventure out kind of like a drop of water adventures
away from the ocean for a little bit and then at some point
come home but have a really adventurous time and have
every moment be a suspenseful, fascinating surprise that
when you go back into the ocean you've got so much that
you could never have experience as the ocean.

Stimulate and Be Stimulated

To me, the meaning of life is
to stimulate and be stimulated.

The Hero's Adventure

The Hero's Adventure is not about
the ego taking a ride and developing.
It's more about the totality of all
of the different brain modules,
getting them all to realize their part,
the role they're playing in the totality
of our human existence.

We Are Maturing

I think we are maturing. We have these
beautiful Eastern philosophies and
the philosophers have used beautiful words
to describe a part of who we are and to them,
that is the real part. To me, that is
the consciousness of the right brain.

The Ones Which Open for Us

When one door closes, another one opens,
but we so often look so long and so regretfully
upon the closed door, that we do not see
the ones which open for us.

Alexander Graham Bell
