My name IS NOT James, and I DO NOT Live in America. in fact, there's no such thing! The Reality? Do You think you have a "Firm Grasp?" Reality... pfft! People with a firm grasp better get to letting go. Insanity... what is that? Society... Who says? and why? Ask Why... Why? You already know... Don't you? ... Didn't You? Who is that Voice inside your head? You know, right? NOPE. He/she may sound like you, but who are you actually?... Do You Know? Honestly? That voice may sound a lot like you, but is it actually me? Or him, or Them? I bet you feel you know! Maybe you do... You Don't. If You Think so, you must know you're you, you're NOT... you're me... I'm You... I AM. You don't believe?.. YOU wouldn't.

Personally I would never be a member of any group that has to wear a hat, or can’t wear a hat.

George Carlin

eternalconsciousness:

After enlightenment Buddha was asked, ”What have you attained?” And he laughed and said, ”Nothing – because whatsoever I have attained was already there inside me. It is not something new that I have achieved. It has always been there from eternity, it is my very nature. But I was not mindful about it, I was not aware of it. The treasure was always there, but I had forgotten about it.”

Meet this transient world
with neither grasping nor fear,
trust the unfolding of life,
and you will attain true serenity.

Bhagavad Gita (via cougarchild)

(Source: nirvikalpa)

kaiboushitsu: “The “moment” has no yesterday or tomorrow. It is not the result of thought and therefore has no time.” “Knowing is not enough; we must apply. Willing is not enough: we must do.” “Learning is never cumulative, it is a movement of knowing which has no beginning and no end.” “The measure  of the moral worth of a man is his happiness. The better the man, the more happiness. Happiness is the synonym of well-being” ” Real living is living for others.” “Defeat is a state of mind; no one is ever defeated until defeat has been accepted as a reality.” “Never waste energy on worries or negative thoughts, all problems are brought into existence -drop them.” “A goal is not always meant to be reached. It often serves simply as something to aim at.” “Because one does not want to be disturbed, to be made uncertain, he establishes a pattern of conduct, of thought, a pattern of relationship to man etc. Then he becomes a slave to the patter and takes the pattern to be the real thing.” “Zen is not “attained” by mirror-wiping mediation, but by “self-forgetfulness in the existential ‘present’ of life here and now.” We do not “come”, we “are.” Don’t strive to become, but be.” “Those who are unaware they are walking in darkness will never seek the light.” “Mistakes are always forgivable, if one has the courage to admit them.” “To grow, to discover, we need involvement which is something I experience everyday, sometimes good, sometimes frustrating.”

Go West, young man, and grow up with the country

John B. L. Soule

the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same way in any country.

Hermann Göring - Nazi Gestapo Founder - In an interview with Gilbert in Göring’s jail cell during the Nuremberg War Crimes Trials (18 April 1946)

In religion and politics people’s beliefs and convictions are in almost every case gotten at second-hand, and without examination, from authorities who have not themselves examined the questions at issue but have taken them at second-hand from other non-examiners, whose opinions about them were not worth a brass farthing.

Mark Twain

Trey: “We actually have exercises that we do, where we work on improving our improvising as a group. It gets rid of the ego. It’s an exercise to get rid of the ego. And the more that we do it the more we find that our improvisations are less concerned with showing off flashy solos or whatever, and more concerned with making a group sound. There’s a feeling that we always talk about. When we went out with Santana, he had brought up this thing about the Hose. … where the music is like water rushing through you and as a musician your function is really like that of a hose. And, and well his thing is that the audience is like a sea of flowers, you know, and you’re watering the audience. But the concept of music going through you, that you’re not actually creating it, that what you’re doing is — the best thing that you can do is get out of the way. So, when you are in a room full of people, there’s this kind of group vibe that seems to get rolling sometimes.”

Mike: “It gets — It really starts to seem like It’s not the audience or the band. This Thing that gets rolling is It’s OWN Thing. When things are going really well, and a jam has taken off, there’s this feeling of motion that is created by the rhythm. And at that point my bass that I’m playing feels like this sortof vehicle, or like a hitch for me to hold on to, like someone would hold on to a um … Like if you were on a — I was thinking if you were on a ski lift, maybe. A chair lift. Or just something that would hook you on to the motion that’s going, and pull you along with IT.

What Does “Hose” Mean In Phish Speak?

If a man walks in the woods for love of them half of each day, he is in danger of being regarded as a loafer. But if he spends his days as a speculator, shearing off those woods and making the earth bald before her time, he is deemed an industrious and enterprising citizen.

Henry David Thoreau (via spellgravity) (via heartmindspirit) (via whisperingwillow) (via calamity-physics)

Here was a new generation, a new generation dedicated more than the last to the fear of poverty and the worship of success, grown up to find all gods dead, all wars fought, all faiths to man shaken.

F. Scott Fitzgerald

The thing that is called Tao is eluding and vague.
Vague and eluding, there is in it the form.
Eluding and vague, in it are things.
Deep and obscure, in it is the essence.
The essence is very real; in it are evidences.
From the time of old until now, its manifestations ever remain,
By which we may see the beginnings of all things.
How do I know that the beginnings of all things are so?
Through this.

Tao Te Ching

if the artists who are self selected for being able to journey into the other, if the artists cannot find the way, then the way cannot be found.

Terence McKenna (via sublimotion)

We have to stop CONSUMING our culture. We have to CREATE culture. DON’T watch TV, DON’T read magazines, don’t even listen to NPR. Create your OWN roadshow. The nexus of space and time where you are — NOW — is the most immediate sector of your universe. And if you’re worrying about Michael Jackson or Bill Clinton or somebody else, then you are disempowered. You’re giving it all away to ICONS. Icons which are maintained by an electronic media so that, you want to dress like X or have lips like Y… This is shit-brained, this kind of thinking. That is all cultural diversion. What is real is you, and your friends, your associations, your highs, your orgasms, your hopes, your plans, your fears. And, we are told No, you’re unimportant, you’re peripheral — get a degree, get a job, get a this, get that, and then you’re a player. You don’t even want to play that game. You want to reclaim your mind and get it out of the hands of the cultural engineers who want to turn you into a half-baked moron consuming all this trash that’s being manufactured out of the bones of a dying world.

Terence McKenna (via criminalwisdom)

Every tree, every plant, has a spirit. People may say that the plant has no mind. I tell them that the plant is alive & conscious. A plant may not talk, but there is a spirit in it that is conscious, that sees everything, which is the soul of the plant, its essence, what makes it alive. The channels through which the water & sap move are the veins of the spirit.
