Life repeats itself mindlessly. Unless you become mindful, it will go on repeating like a wheel.

By amending our mistakes, we get wisdom. By defending our faults, we betray an unsound mind.

She was one of those stars, a bright dot in blackness, without a home, without a companion, in eternal cold and silence.

Everything has changed and yet, I am more me than I’ve ever been.

The whole course of human history may depend on a change of heart in a single, solitary, even humble individual. For it is within the soul of the individual that the battle between good and evil is waged and ultimately won or lost.

If your compassion does not include yourself, it is incomplete.

I am lonely, yet not everybody will do. I don’t know why, some people fill the gaps but other people emphasize my loneliness.

We fear rejection, want attention, crave affection, and dream of perfection.

First show others in deeds, rather than words, all that is good and holy.

Contemporary science, by and large, has devolved into nothing more than another bankrupt belief system; a substitute religion for individuals who believe spiritual fundamentalism is somehow more dangerous and damaging than scientific fundamentalism. In the words of Terence McKenna, “Science has great pretensions about itself; it basically regards itself as a meta-theory capable of passing judgment on all other theories. [These theories] are supposed to submit themselves to science to be told whether they are right or not.”

As Rupert Sheldrake, an accomplished biochemist, points out: “There is a kind of materialist ethos in science…when cosmologists come up with the idea that there are multiple universes, billions of actual universes besides our own for which there’s no evidence at all, instead of this causing outrage, it becomes totally mainstream…no one suffers an attack as a result…The reason that gets past the filters is it doesn’t overturn a particular ideology. What’s at stake is not science itself but ideology.”

This entrenched dogmatism that McKenna and Sheldrake refer to is most noticeable in scientists such as Richard Dawkins, who consistently scapegoat supernatural belief for the world’s shortcomings. They outright ignore the more decisive role that egotism, disconnection, and self-deception have played in perpetuating strife. Despite possessing tremendous intellect, Dawkins and others like him are clearly mistaking the map for the terrain. It is of little consequence to them that atrocities committed by Nazi Germany and Stalinist Russia were carried out under an empirical regime guided by a cold, calculated scientific protocol. They cannot sense, let alone acknowledge, their own cognitive dissonance. What is worse, without much thought, we choose to place these people and the flawed belief systems they espouse on pedestals. We elevate them to positions of cultural prominence, and mistakenly label their ideas as worthy of organizing an entire social-order around. We conflate their intelligence with wisdom at our own peril.

We need to realize that this brand of self-defeating extremism, whether scientific or religious, is a byproduct of a deeply flawed cultural psyche. We have become alienated from nature, from ourselves, and in the process become totally deranged.

Solo te falta el virus, porque Corona ya tienes mi rey!

Do not fear to lose what needs to be lost.

Truth will ultimately prevail where there is pains to bring it to light.

I’ll let you be in my dream, if I can be in yours.

Evil deeds do not prosper; the slow man catches up with the swift.

The right to speak out is also the duty to speak out.

Detente, sombra de mi bien esquivo,
imagen del hechizo que más quiero,
bella ilusión por quien alegre muero,
dulce ficción por quien penosa vivo.

The soul is after the highest feeling of love you can imagine. This is the souls desire. This is it’s purpose. The soul is after the feeling. Not the knowledge, but the feeling. It already has the knowledge, but knowledge is conceptual. Feeling is experiential. The soul wants to feel itself, and thus to know itself in it’s own experience

To live in the world without becoming aware of the meaning of the world is like wandering about in a great library without touching the books.
