Truth, Beauty and Justice

"Although I am a typical loner in daily life, my consciousness of belonging to the invisible community of those who strive for truth, beauty, and justice has preserved me from feeling isolated."

~Albert Einstein

I can totally relate...and I would like to make the "invisible" community more visible...if only daily life for our society as a whole were more centered around truth, beauty and justice, it would be so much easier...I don't understand why something so seemingly simple and beneficial to all, is so difficult.

Listening

"Listening creates a holy silence. When you listen generously to people, they can hear truth in themselves, often for the first time. And in the silence of listening, you can know yourself in everyone. Eventually you may be able to hear, in everyone and beyond everyone, the Unseen singing softly to itself and you."

~Rachel Naomi Remen

The Big Fix (Trailer)

I'm fine with living in a monetary system, I have no other choice. However, the degree to which money has corrupted people, taken over our political systems, contributed to destroying the planet, and has completely taken over our lives, determining our well-being, is just ridiculous. It's not the idea of having a currency for trade that is fucking everything up; it's the people who are greedy and hungry for power. They care about nothing else. It breaks my heart to see the amount of lies, deceit, destruction and loss of compassion as a result. We can do so much better.

"Our greatest fear should not be of failure, but of succeeding at things in life that don't really matter."

In the gap of nothingness

Being "in the gap" can be disorienting and even scary. Nothing to hold on to, no sense of direction, not even a hint of what choices and possibilities might lie ahead. But it was just this state of pure potential that existed before the universe was created. All you can do now is to relax into this no-thingness...fall into this silence between the words...watch this gap between the outgoing and incoming breath. And treasure each empty moment of the experience. Something sacred is about to be born. ~Osho
