A dishonest life cannot be a life of bliss. You think you are deceiving others; you are simply destroying yourself and destroying all possibilities of growth, because growth comes through sincerity, honesty, authenticity. Growth comes through accepting your truth in its total nudity. And then life is certainly a joy, then life is certainly a bliss.
Osho
"In the end, we'll all become stories."
Now where do we begin to understand ourselves?
Why are you frightened of being alone?
Because you are faced with yourself as you are and you find that you are empty, dull, stupid, ugly, guilty and anxious - a petty, shoddy, second-hand entity.
Face the fact; look at it, do not run away from it. The moment you run away fear begins.
To understand anything you must live with it, you must observe it, you must know all its content, its nature, its structure, its movement. Have you ever tried living with yourself? If so, you will begin to see that yourself is not a static state, it is a fresh living thing. And to live with a living thing your mind must also be alive. And it cannot be alive if it is caught in opinions, judgements and values.
In order to observe the movement of your own mind and heart, of your whole being, you must have a free mind, not a mind that agrees and disagrees, taking sides in an argument, disputing over mere words, but rather following with an intention to understand - a very difficult thing to do because most of us don't know how to look at, or listen to, our own being any more than we know how to look at the beauty of a river or listen to the breeze among the trees.
Are you aware that you are conditioned?
That is the first thing to ask yourself, not how to be free of your conditioning. You may never be free of it, and if you say, `I must be free of it', you may fall into another trap of another form of conditioning. So are you aware that you are conditioned? Do you know that even when you look at a tree and say, `That is an oak tree', or `that is a banyan tree', the naming of the tree, which is botanical knowledge, has so conditioned your mind that the word comes between you and actually seeing the tree?
To come in contact with the tree you have to put your hand on it and the word will not help you to touch it.

The Zen of Python
Python programming legend Tim Peters succinctly channels the BDFL's guiding principles for Python's design into 20 aphorisms, only 19 of which have been written down:
Beautiful is better than ugly.
Explicit is better than implicit.
Simple is better than complex.
Complex is better than complicated.
Flat is better than nested.
Sparse is better than dense.
Readability counts.
Special cases aren't special enough to break the rules.
Although practicality beats purity.
Errors should never pass silently. Unless explicitly silenced.
In the face of ambiguity, refuse the temptation to guess.
There should be one-- and preferably only one --obvious way to do it.
Although that way may not be obvious at first unless you're Dutch.
Now is better than never.
Although never is often better than right now.
If the implementation is hard to explain, it's a bad idea.
If the implementation is easy to explain, it may be a good idea.
Namespaces are one honking great idea -- let's do more of those.
...and there's more Python geekness where this came from...
fie my fum
pull my daisy,
tip my cup,
cut my thoughts,
for coconuts,
bone my shadow,
dove my soul,
set a halo,
on my skull,
ark my darkness,
rack my lacks,
bleak my lurking,
lark my looks,
start my arden,
gate my shades,
silk my garden,
rose my days,
whore my door,
stone my dream,
milk my mind,
and make me cream,
say my oops,
ope my shell,
roll my bones,
ring my bell,
pope my parts,
pop my pot,
poke my pap,
pit my plum.
RIP Richie Havens. Legend!
A blast from my (Berlin) past
The nature of the mind is not hollow or blank; it is profound and blissful and full of wonderful qualities… meditation practice reveals our true nature as being totally perfect and complete. (at วัดพระเชตุพนวิมลมังคลารามฯ (Wat Pho))
People don't buy quarter-inch drills, they buy quarter-inch holes.

Charles Bukowski on the Meaning of Life:
================================================
>> We are here to unlearn the teachings of the church, state and our educational system.
>> We are here to drink beer.
>> We are here to kill war.
>> We are here to laugh at the odds and live our lives so well that Death will tremble to take us.
>> We are here to read these words from all these wise men and women who will tell us that we are here for different reasons and the same reason.
choosehelp: LET GO OR BE DRAGGED
I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.
- Frank Herbert, in Dune
Much that was called religion has carried an unconscious attitude of hostility toward life. True religion must teach that life is filled with joys pleasing to the eye of God, that knowledge without action is empty. All men must see that the teaching of religion by rules and rote is largely a hoax. The proper teaching is recognized with ease. You can know it without fail because it awakens within you that sensation which tells you this is something you've always known.
Frank Herbert in Dune
The breeze at dawn has secrets to tell you, don’t go back to sleep. You must ask for what you really want. Don’t go back to sleep. People are going back and forth across the doorsill where the two worlds touch. The door is round and open. Don’t go back to sleep.
Rumi, a 13th-century Persian Sufi mystic and poet
By Bronnie Ware (who worked for years nursing the dying)
For many years I worked in palliative care. My patients were those who had gone home to die. Some incredibly special times were shared. I was with them for the last three to twelve weeks of their lives.
People grow a lot when they...
