Enlightening quotes. Post here.

"When I allow it to be
It has no control over me
I own my fear
So it doesn't own me"
- Peter Gabriel

"Through delusion you are perceiving yourself as a bundle of flesh and bones, which at best is a nest of troubles. Meditate unceasingly, that you may quickly behold yourself as the Infinite Essence, free from every form of misery."
- Lahiri Mahasaya

A few years ago i had a very powerful "peak experience" moment during a donkey ride in new orleans. I remember passing by a window and seeing a dinner banquet happening inside, most likely a wedding. Everyone was dressed very well and raising their glasses to announce the wonderful evening. Outside under the window, right on the sidewalk were 2 people in rags, most likely some hipsters or just some drunk guys by the looks of them sitting down on the ground. It was a very interesting sight and had profound meaning to it.

I remember just thinking this quote in my head at the time...."There is beauty between the chaos of our thoughts"

I thought it was a very powerful quote and was amazed that i could come up with something like that...must have been from my higher self?

"Listen. Among human beings, it is said that any individual human being can attain enlightenment. Now, within the context in which it is said, this is undoubtedly true. However, it tells you absolutely nothing about enlightenment--because 'enlightenment' means precisely: the impossibility of the existence of any individual human being." ~ David Carse


There's just something fun about surfacing good ol' threads.
