What you’re going to write is already there in the darkness.  It’s not a matter of passing from one state to another. It’s a matter of deciphering something already there, something you’ve always done in the sleep of your life, in its organic rumination, unbeknown to you.

Marguerite Duras, tr. by Barbara Bray, from “Practicalities,” (via violentwavesofemotion)

There is no language in itself, nor are there any linguistic universals, only a throng of dialects, patois, viperslangs, and specialized languages. There is no ideal speaker-listener, any more than there is a homogeneous linguistic community. Language is, in Weinreich’s words, “an essentially heterogeneous reality.” There is no mother tongue, only a power takeover by a dominant language within political multiplicity. Language stabilizes around a parish, a bishopric, a capital. It forms a bulb. It evolves by subterranean stems and flows, along river valleys or train tracks; it spreads like a patch of oil.

All experience is illusory, limited and temporal. Expect nothing from experience. Realisation by itself is not an experience, though it may lead to a new dimension of experiences. Yet the new experiences, however interesting, are not more real than the old. Definitely realisation is not a new experience. It is the discovery of the timeless factor in every experience. It is awareness, which makes experience possible. Just like in all the colours light is the colourless factor, so in every experience awareness is present, yet it is not an experience.

When we stop taking responsibility for how we feel, we project how we feel onto others. One of the fundamental insights about emotional maturity is that we are responsible for our own emotional lives. No one makes us feel any particular way. If ten people are subjected to the same emotional environment, they will all feel different about what was said to them. What happens is mostly on automatic pilot because we are not conscious of it.

You see, your body is an image. It is not real. It appears to be real. Because you believe your body is real, the world becomes real to you also. And yet these things have absolutely nothing to do with you. You are apart from these things. Your real nature is nirvana, absolute reality. Everything else is superficial. You should not react to the world. I never said you should not be in the world. You can do whatever you wish. Whatever your karmic instincts tells you to do, your body will do it, for this is the reason you appear to take on a body. But you have nothing to do with those things. You are total freedom. You are not confined to a body, or to a world, or to a universe.

The effect of life in society is to complicate and confuse our existence, making us forget who we really are by causing us to become obsessed with what we are not.
