Your Preciousness lies in your Essence; It can not be lost by anything that happens.

You're precious, so selfless 💚🌷

"Eugene, you are not responsible for the collective consciousness. Through your actions and your deeds and your intentions and your decisions, you bring about the changes that make your life balanced. Do not concern about the collective. You will never hold any responsibility for that. The collective evolves through greater cycles whereas you evolve through your own personal cycles. We're not here to save the entire world my friend. The people of the world save the entire world as a collective through their own deeds, but that is never something we have to undertake. The world is God's world. The people are God's people. Leave it to the divine. In the meantime, you work on you, be responsible for you and make your life grand through the inner work I have shown you. ❤️"

The problem is you’re afraid to acknowledge your own beauty. You’re too busy holding onto your unworthiness. You’d rather be a schmuck sitting before some great man, that fits in more with who you think you are. Well, enough already. I sit before you because I see your beauty, even if you don’t.

— Ram Dass

"The thing you need to realise is this: the game is never over until it is over. It isn’t over if there is a single pawn still on the board. If one side is down to a pawn and a king, and the other side has every player, there is still a game. And even if you were a pawn – maybe we all are – then you should remember that a pawn is the most magical piece of all. It might look small and ordinary but it isn’t. Because a pawn is never just a pawn. A pawn is a queen-in-waiting. All you need to do is find a way to keep moving forward. One square after another. And you can get to the other side and unlock all kinds of power.’

Nora stared at the books around her. ‘So, are you saying I only have pawns to play with?’

‘I am saying that the thing that looks the most ordinary might end up being the thing that leads you to victory. You have to keep going."

In our culture we’ve been trained to make individual differences to stand out. You look at each person and think, ‘brighter, dumber, older, younger, richer, poorer’, and we make all these dimensional distinctions, put them in categories and treat people that way. And we only see others as separate from ourselves. One of the dramatic characteristics of the psychedelic experience is being with another person and suddenly seeing the ways in which they are like you—not different from you.

You do not play a sonata in order to reach the final chord, and if the meanings of things were simply in ends, composers would write nothing but finales.

“Many seekers do not take full responsibility for their own liberation, but wait for one big, final spiritual experience which will catapult them fully into it. It is this search for the final liberating experience which gives rise to a rampant form of spiritual consumerism in which seekers go from one teacher to another, shopping for enlightenment as if shopping for sweets in a candy store. This spiritual promiscuity is rapidly turning the search for enlightenment into a cult of experience seekers. And, while many people indeed have powerful experiences, in most cases these do not lead to the profound transformation of the individual, which is the expression of enlightenment.”

"As soon as there is a little light in the sky early in the morning, we can understand that the sun is in the sky. Similarly, since there is some consciousness in all bodies – whether man or animal – we can understand the presence of the soul."

Bhagavad Gita 2.20, 

Srila Prabhupada.

“We’re fascinated by the words—but where we meet is in the silence behind them.”

Writing is like an inner purification. It allows you to express your deepest feelings and emotions. Every character you create is a reflection of something inside you. Every word, every sentence, every paragraph is a reflection of something inside you. Enjoy this process of inner discovery.

Freedom - on the other side of pain is ecstasy.

"In truth, pain is the price of freedom. And the moment you are willing to pay that price, you will no longer be afraid. The moment you are not afraid of the pain, you'll be able to face all of life's situations without fear."

Follow yourself and your passions

Reminder:

The greatest mistake we can make is to allow the influence of others to fill our minds with any fear. Don't let others tell you what or who you are. Don't let others tell you what you can accomplish or not. Stand up for yourself and do not fall into enslavement. It's your life, so follow yourself and your passions with truth and individuality.
