"We don't see things as they are. We see things as we are." - Anais Nin

"The first people had questions and they were free. The second people had answers and they were enslaved." - teachings of the Delicate Lodge ( a body of wisdom handed down from the indigenous cultures of the Americas)

know thyself the sages say

plumb the depths of deep compassion for yourself and others
nurture yourself, flourish in your own love affair with yourself
and find that the more you fall in love with yourself,
the more you fall in love with the magnificent
abundance of the world of myriad forms
colors and infinite _expression
be here they say right here
right now is all we need
to focus on
to find
yourself

"Man is the mirror which God holds up to himself, or the sense organ with which he apprehends his being." C.G.Jung

"A human being is part of a whole, called by us the Universe, a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings, as something separated from the rest--a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circles of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty."
~ Albert Einstein

"If the positive innovations connect exponentially before the massive breakdowns reinforce oneanother, the system can repattern itself to a higher order of consciousness and freedom without the predicted economic, environmental, or social collapse." Barbara Marx Hubbard

"I slept and dreamt that life was joy. I awoke and saw that life was service. I acted and beheld that service was joy." - Tagore

“ Love is the foundation of a happy life. Knowingly or unknowingly we are forgetting this truth. After all, love is our true nature. When we do not express love in our words and actions it is like honey hidden in a rock. It is of no use to anyone. This mutual sharing and expressing of love should begin at home between married couples and between parents and children. Only then will there be peace and harmony at home and in the society.” Amma (www.amma.org)
