Something Far Greater
There is something far greater than we are,
and we are an authentic part of it and
can contribute to its evolution.

Into What Society?
The first universal, existential reality
is that of the mystery of birth.
That's more than a biological phenomenon,
believe me - the mystery of a new being coming in.
And the next - every culture, everywhere, forever,
has had to bring that little natural phenomenon
into relationship with a society.
That's where the problem comes:
into what society are you going to bring
this natural phenomenon?

That's Life
Imagine reading a book with
no way to turn back the page.
How carefully would you read it?

Allow the Universe to Lead You
The best way to succeed is to discover what
you love and then find a way to offer it to others
in the form of service, working hard, and also
allowing the energy of the universe to lead you.

Nothing to Hold On To

there is nothing you will try to hold on to.

Understand More
Nothing in life is to be feared;
it is only to be understood.
Now is the time to understand more,
so that we may fear less.

it's the last chance I'm every going to get
to be alive and know it.

The First Basic Reason for Meditation
Now, obviously, is I talk all the time,
I don't hear what anyone else has to say.
And so, in exactly the same way, if I think
all the time - that is to say, if I talk to myself
all the time - I don't have anything to think
about except thoughts. And therefore,
I'm living entirely in the world of symbols,
and am never in relationship with reality.
That's the first basic reason for meditation.

They Already Know
Your time is limited, so don't waste it
living someone else's life.
Don't be trapped by dogma - which is
living with the results of other people's thinking.
Don't let the noise of other people's opinions
drown out your own inner voice.
And most important, have the courage
to follow your heart and intuition.
They somehow already know what
you truly want to become.
Everything else is secondary.

Forever Conquering
The first result of this illusion (of being isolated "egos") is
that our attitude to the world "outside" us is largely hostile.
We are forever "conquering" nature, space, mountains,
deserts, bacteria, insects instead of learning to cooperate
with them in a harmonious order. In America
the great symbols of this conquest are the bulldozer
and the rocket.

There is a Place Beyond Ambition
When the flute players
couldn't think of what to say next
they laid down their pipes,
then they lay down themselves
beside the river
and just listened.
Some of them, after a while,
jumped up
and disappeared back into the busy town.
But the rest -
so quiet, not even thoughtful -
are still there,
still listening.

Be Just Another Human Soul
Know all the theories,
master all the techniques,
but as you touch a human soul,
be just another human soul.

Carl Jung
Be Yourself
If you find yourself feeling like an outsider,
like you don't fit in with the crowd, it means
that you have the potential to make
a real difference in the world.
Don't be afraid to be yourself,
to follow your own path.
The world needs your unique perspective.

Listen to the Ocean
Silence is an ocean.
Speech is a river.
When the ocean is searching
for you, don't walk into the river.

A Game of Hide and Seek
Since before time, I have been free.
Birth and death are only doors through
which we pass, sacred thresholds on our journey.
Birth and death are a game of hide and seek.

Our True Being
Technology is not going to save us.
Our computers, our tools,
our machines are not enough.
We have to rely on our intuition,
our true being.

Evoke Your Higher Nature
Our life evokes our character.
You find out more about yourself
as you go on. That's why it's good
to put yourself in situations that
will evoke your higher nature
rather than your lower.

The Door That Has Been Opened
When one door of happiness closes,
another opens, but often we look so long
at the closed door that we do not see
the one that has been opened for us.

Sit Down and Keep Still
