Shoot It At The Sky

It's far more interesting to experience the parts of people they don't allow most to see. I can't believe how beautiful it all is.

Where the heart is full of kindness which seeks no injury to another, either in act or thought or wish, this full love creates an atmosphere of harmony, whose benign power touches with healing all who come within its influence. Peace in the heart radiates peace to other hearts, even more surely than contention breeds contention.

"The corner stone of Magic is an intimate practical knowledge of magnetism and electricity, their qualities,

correlations, and potencies. Especially necessary is a familiarity with their effects in and upon the animal

kingdom and man."

“Surrender is the art of letting go, of giving up the ideas of what “should” and “should not” be.”

“Can the body love beyond hunger? You tell me what you know of desire and surrender.”

Desire.

[onlinecounsellingcollege]

Stop all the clocks, cut off the telephone, Prevent the dog from barking with a juicy bone, Silence the pianos and with muffled drum Bring out the coffin, let the mourners come. Let aeroplanes circle moaning overhead Scribbling on the sky the message He Is Dead, Put crepe bows round the white necks of the public doves, Let the traffic policemen wear black cotton gloves. He was my North, my South, my East and West, My working week and my Sunday rest, My noon, my midnight, my talk, my song; I thought that love would last for ever: I was wrong. The stars are not wanted now: put out every one; Pack up the moon and dismantle the sun; Pour away the ocean and sweep up the wood. For nothing now can ever come to any good.

W.H. Auden

“In a famous debate that was settled by the sixth patriarch of Zen, there were two monks arguing (when a flag was flapping in the wind) whether it was the wind or the flag that was moving. And he said it’s neither; it’s the mind.”

“Enlightenment is a destructive process. It has nothing to do with becoming better or being happier. Enlightenment is the crumbling away of untruth. It’s seeing through the facade of pretense. It’s the complete eradication of everything we imagined to be true.”

The Book Lover

[lazyyogi]

“We are so busy and obsessed with our restless thinking about everything and everyone that we have mistaken our thinking about everything and everyone for everything and everyone. This tendency to take our thoughts to be real is what keeps the dream state intact and keeps us trapped within its domain of unconsciousness and strife.

To many people the very idea that *what is* is more real than all of their beliefs and opinions about *what is* is hard to believe. But that’s how it is when you are caught up in a dream. To you your dream is real because all of your thoughts confirm that it is real. But *what is* is more real than a thousand thoughts about how things should be. Life will conform neither to the story you tell yourself about it nor your interpretation of it. Believe a single thought that runs contrary to the way things are or have been and you suffer because of it. No exceptions!

This does not mean that you should not have any thoughts outside of *what is.* It only means that *what is* is the reality of now. If you think that people should be nice to one another, then by all means be nice. But when you project that belief onto the people and the world around you as if it were an objective reality, or worse still, as if it were their job to be nice to you, you put yourself at odds with *what is,* and suffering will surely follow.”

Leshan Giant Buddha 

The Leshan Giant Buddha was built during the Tang Dynasty (618–907AD). It is carved out of a cliff face that lies at the confluence of the Minjiang, Dadu and Qingyi rivers in the southern part of Sichuan province in China, near the city of Leshan. The stone sculpture faces Mount Emei, with the rivers flowing below his feet. It is the largest carved stone Buddha in the world and it is by far the tallest pre-modern statue in the world.

The Mount Emei Scenic Area, including Leshan Giant Buddha Scenic Area has been listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1996.
