The Mind

The mind is its own place, and the Places inhabited by the insane and the exceptionally gifted are so different from the places where ordinary men and women live, that there is little or no common ground of memory to serve as a basis for understanding or fellow feeling. Words are uttered, but fail to enlighten. The things and events to which the symbols refer belong to mutually exclusive realms of experience.” 

-Aldous Huxley, The Doors Of Perception

To me existential despair is the feeling of running up against a limit; existential despair is the feeling of giving up, of surrendering, to a negative entity. When I think about someone dying of an incurable disease, it makes everything dissolve into irony; it makes life seem meaningless. One of the best antidotes to that feeling, that feeling of emptiness or meaninglessness, is awe, fully immersive, emotive and intellectual awe. The way you feel when you watch the Hubble IMAX 3D film stoned out of your mind. That moment where you’re hitting your arm against the chair, and you’re saying “ohmygodohmygodohmygod” letting out this burst of physical energy just to exclaim viscerally this feeling of awe. And I think that is salvation, because ultimately it lets you fall out of time and into something else. You fall right back into time afterwards, but for a moment you fall out of the stream of time, and that’s that feeling we go for in all of our art, and our movies, and that’s what my work is about.

Silence

The silence we experience when we meditate teaches us to go beyond intellectual constructs we build in our everyday life and upon which we base our beliefs.

A wonderful poem by Rumi illustrates this point very, very well:

Hear this if you can:

If you want to reach him

you have to go beyond yourself

and when you finally arrive at the land of absence

be silent

don’t say a thing

ecstasy, not words, is the language spoken there

يضيع جمال الحياة عندما تنظر بعينيك فقط

and the beauty of life is lost when you only look with your eyes.

“When you love someone, the best thing you can offer is your presence. How can you love if you are not there?”

Some people bring out the worst in you, others bring out the best, and then there are those remarkably rare, addictive ones who just bring out the most. Of everything. They make you feel so alive that you’d follow them straight into hell, just to keep getting your fix.

The lines of time bend often.

See if you can catch yourself complaining in either speech or thought, about a situation you find yourself in, what other people do or say, your surroundings, your life situation, even the weather. To complain is always nonacceptance of what is. It invariably carries an unconscious negative charge. When you complain, you make yourself a victim. Leave the situation or accept it. All else is madness.

Eckhart Tolle I flipped open an old notebook right to this quote. I guess I’ll take it as one of those elusive signs I’m always searching for.  (via brillodelsol)
