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.

 

The Eyes of Love see all of us as one. Take all that money that we spend on weapons and defense each year and instead spend it feeding, clothing, and educating the poor of the world (which it would many times over), not one human being excluded and we could explore space together, both outer and inner, for ever, in PEACE.

Bill Hicks (via truedemocracy)

To bind the Self to matter
Means to shatter souls.
To find oneself in the Spirit
Means to unite mankind.
To behold the Self in man
Means to build worlds.

Rudolf Steiner (via lucifelle)

If I take death into my life, acknowledge it, and face it squarely, I will free myself from the anxiety of death and the pettiness of life - and only then will I be free to become myself.

Just look at us. Everything is backwards. Everything is upside-down. Doctors destroy health, lawyers destroy justice, universities destroy knowledge, governments destroy freedom, the major media destroy information, and religion destroys spirituality.

So every teacher of Buddhism is a debunker, not to be a smart aleck and show how clever he is, but out of compassion. Just as a surgeon pulls out a rotten tooth, so the Buddhist teacher is getting rid of your crazy ideas for you.

“Words Have Meaning” : pantheism

pantheism: n.

  1. A doctrine identifying the Deity with the universe and its phenomena.
  2. Belief in and worship of all gods.

pantheist pan’the·ist n.
pantheistic pan’the·is’tic or pan’the·isti·cal adj.
pantheistically pan’the·is’ti·cal·ly adv.

Wiki says: Pantheism is the view that the Universe (Nature) and God are identical,[1] or that the Universe (including Nature on Earth) is the only thing deserving the deepest kind of reverence. The word derives from the Ancient Greek: πᾶν (pan) meaning “All” and θεός (theos) meaning “God” - literally “All is God.” As such Pantheism promotes the idea that God is better understood as a way of relating to nature and the Universe as a whole - all that was, is and shall be - rather than as a transcendent, mental, personal or creator entity.[2] Pantheists thus do not believe in apersonal, anthropomorphic or creator god. Although there are divergences within Pantheism, the central ideas found in almost all versions are the Cosmos as an all-encompassing unity and the “sacredness” of Nature.

Encyl. of Philosophy says: The view that God is in everything, or that God and the universe are one. The most celebrated pantheistic system of modern philosophy is that of Spinoza, although pantheistic rhetoric flourished in the 19th century, for example in the work of Emerson.

altruistic al’tru·is’tic adj.
altruistically al’tru·is’ti·cal·ly adv.
