“The impermanent appearance of happiness and distress and their disappearance in due course are like the appearance and disappearance of winter and summer seasons. They arise from a sense of perception, and one must learn to tolerate them without being disturbed.”

— Bhagavad Gita

[universetalkz]

If you do not spend time getting to know yourself, you will end up absorbing everyone else's random and conflicting ideas about you.

Knowing who you are on a very deep and intimate level is the best way to protect yourself from internalizing disempowering opinions from others.

If you had no normative conception of your identity, you could have no reasons for action, and because your consciousness is reflective, you could then not act at all. Since you cannot act without reasons and your humanity is the source of your reasons, you must value your own humanity if you are to act at all. It follows from this argument that human beings are valuable. Enlightenment morality is true.

Christine M. Korsgaard, The Sources of Normativity

It is your show.

It is your universe.

There is no one else here, just you, and nothing is being withheld from you.

You are completely on your own.

Everything is available for direct knowing.

No one else has anything you need.

No one else can lead you, pull you, push you or carry you.

-Jed McKenna

I have spent much of my adult life trying to figure out how to experience holiness, and now I know that the struggle to figure things out is antithetical to the experience. You simply relax into holiness the way you would a warm bath.

Victor Shamas, The Chanters Guide: Sacred Chanting as a Shamanic Practice

“Forcing connection is forcing alignment.

Forcing alignment is forcing attachment.

Ego seeks attachment.

Soul seeks connection.

You will never have to force anything that aligns with you.

What is meant for you will feel natural, peaceful, and connected, not forced, chaotic, and attached.”

[philosophybits]

Truth is not objective, ordinary reality, reflected in the knower and entering into him from outside, but rather the enlightenment, the transfiguration of reality: it is the introduction into the world's data of a quality, which was not there before truth was revealed and known.

Nikolai Berdyaev, Truth and Revelation
