A quotation from Edward Morgan
A book is the only place I know in which you can examine a fragile thought without breaking it, or explore an explosive idea without fear that it will go off in your face. It is one of the few sources of information left that is served up without the silent black noise of a headline, the doomy hullabaloo of a commercial. It is one of the few havens remaining where a man’s mind can get both provocation and privacy.
Edward P. Morgan (1910-1993) American journalist
Essay (1955-08-15), “The Literary Bug Doesn’t Bite,” ABC RadioMore about this quote: wist.info/morgan-edward/72251/

What we really are
We pay attention to our own true nature and by becoming fully conscious of the union of our nature with Christ, we become fully ourselves.
John Main, Word into Silence, p.18
The idea of time has many expressions, from chronological to biological, emotional to cosmic. We sometimes feel we have lived a lifetime in a moment. We can feel time as a crucifixion or as a resurrection. The vast figures measuring cosmic time in an expanding universe can seem overwhelming but the few years of a human life can seem more significant and precious. Time and mortality live out the drama of birth and death and the painful mystery of separation. In the light of faith we come by stages to see the all-pervading mystery of union…
This consummation of union, whether it is called nirvana, liberation from rebirth, enlightenment, moksha or heaven is part of the common ground of all religious wisdom when we understand religion in its mystical dimension. It refers to the experience of oneness, the transcendence of the ego’s centre of consciousness, the transformation of the dualistic mind, the movement from the mind’s self-mirroring complexities into the simplicity and pure vision of the heart, the non-duality of the spirit. With a silent passion deeper than their words and differences, all religions point to this. If they do indeed teach this way and not just pay lip service to it, religion offers our often sad and battered humanity a reasonable and empowering hope.
We both lose and find ourselves in the otherness of ultimate reality. This is easy to say but it is a hard paradox to wrestle with. It demands a deepening faith commitment. When the master class of life has taught us enough, commitment meets detachment and solitude, the recognition and acceptance of our uniqueness becomes more attractive and even easier. We gradually withdraw from unnecessary activity and distraction. We become freer from compulsions and addictions.
Laurence Freeman, First Sight: The Experience of Faith, p.76-77
What we really are is this. We are not what we think we are, frail isolated intelligences trapped in a zero-sum game of mere survival, creatures of allegiances and enmities, just barely hanging on. We belong. We are part of it all, wavelets on a limitless ocean of grace.
We must… make a clear distinction between belief and faith, because, in general practice, belief has come to mean a state of mind which is almost the opposite of faith. Belief, as I use the word here, is the insistence that the truth is what one would “lief” or wish it to be. The believer will open his mind to the truth on the condition that it fits in with his preconceived ideas and wishes. Faith, on the other hand, is an unreserved opening of the mind to the truth, whatever it may turn out to be. Faith has no preconceptions; it is a plunge into the unknown. Belief clings, but faith lets go. In this sense of the word, faith is the essential virtue of science, and likewise of any religion that is not self-deception.
Alan Watts, The Wisdom of Insecurity p.24
Faith is no more, perhaps, than this radical open-heartedness, this helpless surrender to what is, in David Jones’ words, “actually loved and known”. All our practice, all our patience and all our prayers come down to this simple oneness. What we used to be is dispersed, patched and rotted through with light. None of the old certainties can hold. They don’t need to: this trackless brightness beyond the memory of shorelines is the waking heart itself, nothing more.

How to keep up with the digital world and above all ai as a non it-professional? Where to receive trusted, affordable news? Who or what to trust? Who keeps my data and how is it used? What devices can I use or should I use them at all? Doing all that is tiring and time consuming. How should one be able to do all that while still working full time and wanting to be an available friend? I have fomo. It is stressing me out a lot. It is destroying me from inside. #ai #fomo #news #contemplation

A quotation from Robert Ingersoll
Anger blows out the lamp of the mind. In the examination of a great and important question, every one should be serene, slow-pulsed and calm.
Robert Green Ingersoll (1833-1899) American lawyer, freethinker, orator
Essay (1881-11) “The Christian Religion,” “Part 2” North American Review, Vol. 133, No. 300More about this quote: wist.info/ingersoll-robert-gre…

Following this came the thought of one’s death of ideals being definite or if it should be perceived as an opportunity to personal growth and the forthcoming of new ideas. But for me, especially as ones beliefs and ideals are bonded directly to the own identity, it is mostly devastating, a feeling of being crushed and losing yourself to an endlessness of nothing. 2/3 #ideals #lost #contemplation

The betrayal of one’s own ideals is akin to one’s own death. A death that, in a sense, has only seemingly occurred, even though all the aspects of mourning can be perceived by others. For in that very moment of betrayal, something fundamental within the human soul shatters. Something that had, until then, kept a person upright and given them direction. The ideals that once functioned as an inner compass are now abandoned. 1/3 #ideals #contemplation

Wonderful podcast, “Turning to the Mystics” with James Finley-this is from a few years ago on Julian of Norwich. If you interested in deepening in Spiritual Practice-it is so good and helpful. Highly recommend! #AlignWithLove #Christianity #Contemplation #Meditation #Mystics

Understand me as I understand you, through good and active communication. Time is always there and we are always connected. Never be shy or reluctant with me, you can talk about almost anything with me, including very taboo and controversial subjects.

Hell is other people, yes, but heaven is other people too. If I meet those hells then it is not entirely my negativeness and if I meet those heavens then it is not entirely my positiveness. Sometimes bad luck sometimes good luck, this life is so random and full of chaos.

For example, if I say something bad like cursing someone, even though it does not refer explicitly to someone in particular, that means I am completely impatient with that person. My impatience would be even greater if I had never done anything wrong to that person.

From that, of course, it must be understood that if something bad might come out of me it is not because I wanted it to be from the first place. I am as patient as I can be with people, as with my family. However, I have a limit to my patience indeed, you know it.

I certainly apologise for all of that if that is the case, if it is indeed unacceptable to others or those who are directly affected. Always remember that my default is kind not evil and it will always be that way, forever. In all my limitations, I always try to do kindness.

In my life it is important for me to always maintain my good behaviour based on my moral compass. It did not always go as it should and in many cases in the past I have shown many not so good behaviour. I definitely feel bad about that because I should not be like that.

🚪 The doorframe holds nothing but the act of crossing. We name the shores but not the tide-line that moves between them. Perhaps transformation is the universe's only honest state; everything else is just a story we tell about pauses in the becoming.

The mind resists repetition because repetition reveals patterns.
When I practice the same sequence, I can't hide behind variety. I see where I'm tight, where I compensate.
What does your body reveal when you stop chasing variety?

“Wait a moment,” said Winnie-the-Pooh, holding up his paw.
He sat down and thought, in the most thoughtful way he could think. Then he fitted his paw into one of the Tracks … and then he scratched his nose twice, and stood up.
“Yes,” said Winnie-the-Pooh.
“I see now,” said Winnie-the-Pooh.
“I have been Foolish and Deluded,” said he, “and I am a Bear of No Brain at All.”A. A. Milne (1882-1956) English poet and playwright [Alan Alexander Milne]

This is your brain on hammers. We explore how our narrow conventional thinking (the hammer) leads us on a never-ending hunt for nails and non-nails. Zen meditation and practice in everyday life gives us a chance at freedom, a chance to put the hammer in the toolbox for when we need it again.
