In The Silence
You, as the Universe Itself, is calling you, reminding you, by whispering into your Heart: "Not know. Be Still for just a millisecond. Remember, it always ends in Mystery. There is no name, no definition, nothing to attach words to. You can't find anything outside of yourself as you are ONE only. YOU... are discovered inside the Silence. Silence is what always remains constant throughout the known and unknown. In the silent not knowing, everything is revealed. Be That!" - Bearji (Christopher Alayã Love)

I Am
"A body may be dark, fair, tall or short, but the indwelling principle - which is the knowledge 'I am' has no color or dimension, just like the vital breath and mind. It is merely a 'sense of presence' a feeling of effulgence. And mind functions like its vehicle or medium for executing worldly activities" - Nisargadatta Maharaj

We Must Become Alone
"We must become so alone, so utterly alone, that we withdraw into our innermost self. It is a way of bitter suffering. But then our solitude is overcome... We are no longer alone, for we find that our innermost self is the spirit, that it is God, the indivisible. And suddenly we find ourselves in the midst of the world, yet undisturbed by its multiplicity, for in our innermost soul we know ourselves to be one with all being" - Hermann Hesse

Pain Is Meant To Wake Us Up
"Pain is meant to wake us up. People try to hide their pain. But they're wrong. Pain is something to carry, like a radio. You feel your strength in the experience of pain. It's all in how you carry it. That's what matters. Pain is a feeling. Your feelings are a part of you. Your own reality. If you feel ashamed of them, and hide them, you're letting society destroy your reality. You should stand up for your right to feel your pain." - Jim Morrison

The Supreme Creative Act
"Remember, we are all affecting the world every moment, whether we mean to or not. Our actions and states of mind matter, because we're so deeply inner connected with one another. Working on our own consciousness is the most important thing that we are doing at any moment, and being love is the supreme creative act" - Ram Dass

Peaceful
"Peaceful is the one who is not concerned with having more or less" - Rumi

Let's Watch Our Words
"In Shamanic understanding, all words are spells. Everything we think or say cascades into reality. When I repeat to myself the thought that I am not smart, or beautiful, or deserving, I'm literally cursing myself. Those thoughts go out into the world and bring me situations and outcomes that prove the thoughts. Let's watch our words today and become aware of how words affect our bodies and our lives" - Mia Genis

Simply Wait
"You do not need to leave your room. Remain sitting at your table and listen. Do not even listen, simply wait, be quiet, still and solitary. The world will freely offer itself to you to be unmasked, it has no choice, it will roll in ecstasy at your feet" - Franz Kafka
