neti neti Posted March 6, 2017 I think I'm already extinct. I can dig it. Can't help but feel like it was just the death of an idea though... just the death of who I thought I was. Oh but it sure felt like dying! An intense death! But I'm grateful. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

silent thunder Posted March 14, 2017 Here are a couple from Mel Brooks. Â Tragedy is when I cut my finger. Comedy is when you walk into an open sewer and die.

silent thunder Posted March 15, 2017 “You live like this, sheltered, in a delicate world, and you believe you are living. Then you read a book… or you take a trip… and you discover that you are not living, that you are hibernating. The symptoms of hibernating are easily detectable: first, restlessness. The second symptom (when hibernating becomes dangerous and might degenerate into death): absence of pleasure. That is all. It appears like an innocuous illness. Monotony, boredom, death. Millions live like this (or die like this) without knowing it. They work in offices. They drive a car. They picnic with their families. They raise children. And then some shock treatment takes place, a person, a book, a song, and it awakens them and saves them from death. Some never awaken.” Anais Nin 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
steviesrojas Posted March 16, 2017 To have no thought and put forth no effort is the first step towards understanding the Tao.

neti neti Posted April 1, 2017 "To be affronted by solitude without decadence or a single material thing to prostitute it, elevates you to a spiritual plane... where I felt the presence of God.There's the God they taught me about at school...And there is the God that's hidden by what surrounds us in this civilization.
