The Angels
They all have lips profoundly tired
and lucid souls without a seam,
and yearning (like a sin desired)
moves sometimes slowly through their dream.
They nigh resemble one another
and walk His gardens silently:
so many intervals that gather
in God’s majestic melody.
But only with their wings extending
do they call forth the heaven’s gales:
like sculptor God Himself were bending
the pages, and His hands were mending
the book of dark creation tales.
Rainer Maria Rilke

“You are the essence of life; everything and nothing, the seen and the unseen.”

“The keenest sorrow is to recognize ourselves as the sole cause of all our adversities.”

“The heaviest thing you will ever pick up is a thought.”
—Michael Jeffreys (via krestinaholodov)
“What is necessary to change a person is to change his awareness of himself.”
—Abraham Maslow (via commondense)
“Detach from needing to have things work out a certain way. The universe is perfect and there are no failures. Give yourself the gift of detaching from your worries and trust that everything is happening perfectly.”
—Orin (via lucifelle)

“Do you have the patience to wait until your mud settles, and the water is clear? Can you remain unmoving until the right action arises by itself?”
—Lao Tzu (via miadat)
“Realize that now, in this moment of time, you are creating. You are creating your next moment based on what you are feeling and thinking. That is what’s real.”
—Doc Childre (via iliketolive)
“People come to me and they ask, “What is right and what is wrong?” I say, “Awareness is right; unawareness is wrong.” I don’t label actions as wrong and right. I don’t say violence is wrong. Sometimes violence can be right. I don’t say love is right. Sometimes love can be wrong. Love can be for a wrong person, love can be for a wrong purpose. Somebody loves his country. Now, this is wrong because nationalism is a curse. Somebody loves his religion. He can kill, he can murder, he can burn others’ temples. Neither is love always right nor is anger always wrong. Then what is right and what is wrong? To me, awareness is right. If you are angry with full awareness, even anger is right. And if you are loving with unawareness, even love is not right. So let the quality of awareness be there in every act that you do, in every thought that you think, in every dream that you dream. Let the quality of awareness enter into your being more and more. Become suffused with the quality of awareness. Then whatsoever you do is virtue. Then whatsoever you do is good. Then whatsoever you do is a blessing to you and to the world in which you live.”

“Consciousness is what exists absolutely everywhere, and awareness is consciousness localized to a relative somewhere. So, we don‘t actually experience consciousness; what we experience is consciousness polarized or dualized into a relative state of awareness.”
—Steven Kaufman, Unified Reality Theory (via johnsparker)
