Did you hear about the Zen Master who goes
The Journey People are unreasonable,
illogical and self-centered.  * "Reality is merely an illusion, albeit a very persistent one." Albert Einstein * Affirmation dedicated to the child within I respect myself .... My needs come first. I care about myself. I find peace and contentment in nurturing myself. I LOVE myself I laugh with simple abandon. I seek fun. I play as the child I am. I
am pure. My intentions are innocent and pure and joyful. I relish and run to gay abandon. My emotions are valuable. All my
needs are important: my desires, my emotions, my wants, my hopes, my dreams ... I
nurture and support and hug my child within me ... I laugh and run with her ... I hold her hand. I help her BE ... she is me ... I am free, the child is free and runs to me ... Safe ... loved ... She gives
me her old worn out tear stained maps and I tear them up ... gone!
her tears are soft rain Understood
...
The Man Who Cried I stood and watched the man who
cried, His face awash, his mouth wide, His head
beating against the tree, His shoulders heaving like hills set free From the body of the earth; AndI felt his anquish take birth in my being, And And there I knew it would abide And eat into my days And guide my ways And be the judge of my mortal sins. My father`s tears were a key Which opened the world to me, Its ecstasy, and its misery. C.C.
The intuitive mind is a sacred gift and the rational mind is a faithful servant. We have created a society that honors the servant and has forgotten the gift. Einstein
A human being is a part of the whole, called by us, "Universe," a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings as something separated from the rest -- a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty. Nobody is able to achieve this completely, but the striving for such achievement is in itself a part of the liberation and a foundation for inner security Einstein  |
