Tuesday's Thoughts for the Day

"You know quite well, deep within you, that there is only a single magic, single power, a single salvation . . . and that is called loving." ~ Herman Hesse

"Would it be easier and more effective to change how you are thinking about it?" ~ Alan Cohen

"Who looks outside, dreams. Who looks inside, awakens." ~ Carl Jung

"Intention is more powerful than discipline, and far easier." ~ Alan Cohen

"The more you invest in your happiness, the more happiness you will find to invest in." ~ Alan Cohen

"Look within. Be still. Free from fear and attachment, know the sweet joy of living in the way." ~ Buddha

"What the caterpillar calls the end of the world, the master calls a butterfly." ~ Richard Bach

"There's no way to freedom. A 'way' means you have to start from somewhere and arrive somewhere. This is the deception of the mind. You don't have to go anywhere to find freedom. Forget about finding your way, you are already That which you are seeking." ~ Papaji

"Reality is that which, when you stop believing in it, doesn't go away." ~ Philip K. Dick

Lazy Sunday...

"Misery and despair is what is left after you have gone through all the trouble of trying to satisfy the Ego with money, knowledge, things, and power, only to find that the Lower Self can never be satisfied." ~ Babaji

"The quieter you become, the more you are able to hear.” ~ Zen Saying

I borrowed the above quotes from Enlightened Beings...

I am enjoying a lazy Sunday morning. Listening to some good music, typing my thoughts out in search of a bit of clarity, thinking about which yoga class I want to take today and contemplating brekkie. :) Not in that order.

If I quiet my ego-mind and listen, what do I hear? The first is a big couple of questions. What do I desire to create in my life right now--all things considered? And am I going to be brave enough to follow my heart? And wow, this just pushes some buttons; which is good. It means I am on my way to being honest with myself and healing a few things in the process.

I still feel a bit surprised at where this process has taken me. It is definitely a good place!

Do I trust myself to do a good job at this? I guess I am going to find out!
