On Spirit, fragments (Cusp of Magic)

“Spirit is something higher than intellect in that it includes not only the latter, but the feelings as well. It is a direction, or principle, of life that strives towards shining, supra-human heights.”

~ C.G. Jung (Commentary),

The Secret Of The Golden Flower

I Ching, The Great Treatise, Part 1 (fragments)

…in the last analysis the world is a system of homogeneous relationships — that it is a cosmos, not a chaos.

The ultimate frame of reference for all…

“At last you’ve found out.”

Theories of Everything

As a conscious realist, I am postulating conscious experiences as ontological primitives, the most basic ingredients of the world. I’m claiming that experiences are the real coin of the realm. The experiences of everyday life — my real feeling of a headache, my real taste of chocolate — that really is…

“There’s nothing more than that.”

Don’t prolong the past.
Don’t invite the future.
Don’t alter your innate wakefulness.
Don’t fear appearances.

There’s nothing more than that.

~ Ram Dass

The Four Agreements

Be impeccable with your word.

Don’t take anything personally.

Don’t make assumptions.

Always do your best.

~The Smokey Mirror

Infinite Zoom

Whether you think you can do something 
is so much less important than 
whether you actually can or can’t do that thing.

You need to assemble a case that proves you can. 
You need to do the work that stands 
as evidence for what you’re capable of.

The Doubt

Kill therefore with the sword of wisdom 
the doubt born of ignorance that lies in thy heart.

Be one in self-harmony, in Yoga, and arise, 
great warrior, arise.
 — Bhagavad Gita
