A very important thing is not to make up your mind that you are any one thing.

I think people would be happier if they admitted things more often. In a sense we are all prisoners of some memory, or fear, or disappointment—we are all defined by something we can’t change.

“The greatest triumphs of man were those in which his mind had to free itself from the influence of delusive appearances.“

–Nikola Tesla

Just as the images in a dream are symbols of inner states and feelings, so our collective reality is largely a symbolic expression of fear and of the heavy layers of negativity that have accumulated in the collective human psyche. We are not separate from our world, so when the majority of humans become free of egoic delusion, this inner change will affect all of creation. You will literally inhabit a new world. It is a shift in planetary consciousness.

Eckhart Tolle (via lazyyogi)

I liked the Camus quote as well, “The literal meaning of life is whatever you’re doing that prevents you from killing yourself.’’

I have really starting thinking about the meaning of life lately. I think its because I finally ran out of so much fucking math homework. When I find myself confronted the indefinite nature of our universe, I low-key miss the math homework.
