A human being is a part of the whole called by us "the universe", a part limited in time and space.
She experiences herself, her thoughts and feelings, as something separate from the rest--a kind of optical delusion of consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening the circle of understanding and compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty.

What is believable is what you make it to be.

There is so many people running around, afraid to experience anything of any importance. They sit at home, doing nothing but avoiding life, as it whizzes past them in such an extreme volatile state, it leaves the brain in a whirl.

Why this reluctance? This fear?? These biased opinions? This consistence of ego??? Lack of compassion seems to rule a lot of peoples lives. I see so many accounts of people treating other people with such lack of respect....it's appalling, disheartening, and causes anger in my .

My poor bleeding heart.

We must love all people. And feel compassion for their weakness', and the path they have chosen.

We all have the choice. Every minute we have the choice to choose where we want to go, who we want to be, and importantly, how to react.

I wish the power for you all to make the right choices for your path of destination.

Once which you have chosen already. All you have to do it believe, and pay attention to those coincidences, your dreams, and intuition......

As Albert Einstein pointed out, the tragedy of experiencing ourselves as apart from everyone else is that this delusion becomes a prison.

Free yourselves from ego!!!!

Finding the courage to go to the places that scare us cannot happen without compassionate inquiry into the workings of ego.

The Buddha taught that flexibility and openness bring strength and that running from groundlessness weakens us and brings pain. Buddha was pointing out that the fixed idea that we have about ourselves as solid and seperate from each other is painfully limiting. We as humans, cling to a fixed idea of who we are and it cripples us. Nothing and no one is fixed. Self-importance hurts us, limiting us to the narrow world of likes and dislikes. Egolessness is a flexible identity. We are certain about who we are and who others are and it blinds us. If another version of reality comes knocking on our door, our fixed ideas keep us from accepting it.

The Buddha was generous enough to show us an alternative. We are NOT trapped in the identity of success or failure, or in any identity at all, neither in terms of how others see us nor in how we see ourselves. Every moment is unique, unknown, completely fresh.

A little something to think about.

Y'all

THAT NOTHING IS STATIC OR FIXED, THAT ALL IS FLEETING AND IMPERMANENT, IS THE FIRST MARK OF EXISTENCE.
