“I define connection as the energy that exists between people when they feel seen, heard, and valued; when they can give and receive without judgment; and when they derive sustenance and strength from the relationship.”

“The Buddha said, “The moment you know how your suffering came to be, you are already on the path of release from it.” If you know what has come to be and how it has come to be, you are already on the way to emancipation.”

— Thich Nhat Hanh

“Pointing to another world will never stop vice among us; shedding light over this world can alone help us.”

— Walt Whitman

“When the mind is calm, how quickly, how smoothly, how beautifully you will perceive everything.”

Yogananda

[lazyyogi]

“There’s no reality except the one contained within us. That’s why so many people live an unreal life. They take images outside them for reality and never allow the world within them to assert itself.”

— Hermann Hesse

“Carry your heart through this world like a life-giving sun.”

“You are human and divine. Your human troubles help you discover your divine nature.”

— Mooji

“The art of living… is neither careless drifting on the one hand nor fearful clinging to the past on the other. It consists in being sensitive to each moment, in regarding it as utterly new and unique, in having the mind open and wholly receptive.”

Alan Watts

“People start to heal the moment they feel heard.”

“The state of your life is nothing more than a reflection of the state of your mind.”

— Wayne W. Dyer (via psych-facts)

“As long as you are trying to become, trying to get somewhere, trying to attain something, you are quite literally moving away from the Truth itself.”

Adyashanti

[lazyyogi]

“Love is not selective, just as the light of the sun is not selective. It does not make one person special. It is not exclusive. Exclusivity is not the love of God but the “love” of ego. However, the intensity with which true love is felt can vary. There may be one person who reflects your love back to you more clearly and more intensely than others, and if that person feels the same toward you, it can be said that you are in a love relationship with him or her. The bond that connects you with that person is the same bond that connects you with the person sitting next to you on a bus, or with a bird, a tree, a flower. Only the degree of intensity with which it is felt differs.”

— Eckhart Tolle

“Begin at once to live, and count each separate day as a separate life.”

— Seneca

[heteroglossia]

“I felt myself to be alone, and I am still, because I know things and must hint at things which others apparently know nothing of, and for the most part do not want to know. Loneliness does not come from having no people about one, but from being unable to communicate the things that seem important to oneself, or from holding certain views which others find inadmissible.”

— C.G. Jung, Memories, Dreams, Reflections
