Beliefs

Your beliefs – they are just that. They are nothing, they are just how you were taught, and raised. That doesn’t make them real. You have a right to your beliefs, but that does not mean your beliefs are right.

Image from the internet

Man is a credulous animal, and must believe something; in the absence of good ground for belief, he will be satisfied with bad ones. - Bertrand Russell

The moment we want to believe something, we suddenly see all the arguments for it, and become blind to the arguments against it. - George Bernard Shaw

For what a man would like to be true, that he more readily believes. - Francis Bacon

What you believe will depend very much on what you are. - Noah Porter

We are slow to believe that which if believed would hurt our feelings. - Ovid

The most costly of all follies is to believe passionately in the palpably not true. It is the chief occupation of mankind. - H. L. Mencken

Atheism

Atheism is not a religion. One does not convert to Atheism. One simply realises everything they’ve been told about god is bullxxit.

Image from the internet

It is not hardness of heart or evil passions that drive certain individuals to atheism, but rather a scrupulous intellectual honesty. - Steve Allen

I am an atheist, out and out. It took me a long time to say it. I’ve been an atheist for years and years, but somehow I felt it was intellectually unrespectable to say one was an atheist, because it assumed knowledge that one didn’t have. Somehow, it was better to say one was a humanist or an agnostic. I finally decided that I’m a creature of emotion as well as of reason. Emotionally, I am an atheist. I don’t have the evidence to prove that God doesn’t exist, but I so strongly suspect he doesn’t that I don't want to waste my time. - Isaac Asimov

Isn't it enough to see that a garden is beautiful without having to believe that there are fairies at the bottom of it too? - Douglas Adams

Inner Peace

When stressed or going through a difficult time, it is essential that you take the time to relax in order to replenish your mind, body, and spirit. Nurture your well being by creating an oasis of calm in your life. Getting calm allows you to get a fresh perspective and helps you cope better physically and emotionally with your troubles. Being able to control at least one aspect of your life, in this case time to yourself, helps you to get a grip on the rest of it. - Unknown

Image from the internet

Inner peace is impossible without patience. Wisdom requires patience. Spiritual growth implies the mastery of patience. Patience allows the unfolding of destiny to proceed at its own unhurried pace. - Brian L. Weiss

Peace comes within the soul of people when they realize their relationship, their oneness, with the universe and all its power. - Black Elk

Sit quietly and tune into your self. You will find that within that calm and peace, there are many answers. - Unknown

Space and silence are two aspects of the same thing. The same no-thing. They are externalization of inner space and inner silence, which is stillness: the infinitely creative womb of all existence. - Eckhart Tolle

The Soul

The soul is the purported immaterial aspect or essence of a living being. It is typically believed to be immortal and to exist apart from the material world. The three main theories that describe the relationship between the soul and the body are interactionism, parallelism, and epiphenomenalism. - Wikipedia

Some called the soul their Higher Self, Consciousness, Universal Life Force...

Image from the internet

The soul attracts that which it secretly harbors; that which it loves, and also that which it fears; it reaches the height of its cherished aspirations; it falls to the level of its unchastened desires. Every thought-seed sown or allowed to fall into the mind, and to take root there, produces its own, blossoming sooner or later into act, and bearing its own furtive of opportunity and circumstance. Good thoughts bear good fruit; bad thought, bad fruit. - James Allen

Your Soul and My Soul are part of the great Soul known as the universe. We are universe within the Universe. Although many, We are One. - Julie Parker

As I unclutter my life, I free myself to answer the callings of my soul. - Dr. Wayne Dyer

Deep within your soul is a door that opens into a world of wonder. Open the door and let the magic in. - Unknown Only as we begin to open to others in love can our isolated ego be transformed. An awareness of our interdependence with other human beings and with all of life provides the environment in which the seed of our souls can flourish. - Kabir Helminski

Our greatest human adventure is the evolution of consciousness. We are in this life to enlarge the soul, liberate the spirit, and light up the brain. - Tom Robbins

Awakening

Awakening – an act or moment of becoming suddenly aware of something.

There are three dimensions to Awakening.
1. Psychological Awakening leads self-awareness and inner peace.
2. Personal Awakening leads to clarity of mind and a sense of purpose in life.
3. Spiritual Awakening leads to higher consciousness and meaning in life.

Image from the internet

The only way you will ever awaken is through silence, not through analysation of facts. Not by sorting out good and bad, but through simple silence, letting go. Letting go of all thoughts, all the hurts, all the dogmas and concepts. Letting go of these things daily. - Robert Adam

A glimpse is enough to initiate the awakening process, which is irreversible. - Eckhart Tolle

Awakening is not changing who you are but discarding who you are not. - Deepak Chopra

During our dreams we do not know we are dreaming. We may even dream of interpreting a dream. Only on waking do we know it was a dream. Only after the great awakening will we realize that this is the great dream. - Chuang Tzu

Those who are awake live in a state of constant amazement. - Buddha

Becoming awake involves seeing our confusion more clearly. - Chogyam Trungpa

No matter how old a person is or how close they get tot he door of exit, the calling keeps calling. A person can awaken at any point along the path of life. - Michael Meade

Spirituality Journey

The spirtual journey is a very personal thing. There will sometimes be long periods when you feel you are not getting anywhere. And there will be times when you have a moment of ‘enlightenment’. Like doing a zigsaw puzzle, you found a piece of the puzzle that fits. When that happens, you will feel blissful.

Image from the internet

When the Light of Purpose illuminates our lives, we will see clearly the Path on which we are to walk. - George Petavine

Each one of us has our own evolution of life, and each one of us goes through different tests which are unique and challenging. But certain things are common. And we do learn things from each other’s experience. On a spiritual journey, we all have the same destination. - A. R. Rahman

We are travellers on a cosmic journey, stardust, swirling and dancing in the eddies and whirlpools of infinity. Life is eternal. We have stopped for a moment to encounter each other, to meet, to love, to share. This is a precious moment. It is a little parenthesis in eternity. - Paulo Coelho

The spiritual journey does not consist in arriving at a new destination where a person gains what he did not have, or becomes what he is not. It consists in the dissipation of one’s own ignorance concerning one’s self and life, and the gradual growth of that understanding which begins the spiritual awakening. - Aldous Huxley

Spiritual Training

Learn to trust the journey even if you do not understand it. Sometimes what you never wanted or expected turns out to be what you need. Not everyone will understand your journey. That’s okay. You’re here to live your life, not to make everyone understand. Trust the process of life to unfold just the way it needs to for your soul’s perfect path.

Image from the internet

In your training, do not be in a hurry, for it takes a minimum of ten years to master the basics and advance to the first rung. Never think of yourself as an all-knowing, perfected master; you must continue to train daily with your friends and students and progress together in the Art of Peace. - Morihei Ueshiba

The essence of spiritual practice is your attitude toward others. When you have a pure, sincere motivation, then you have right attitude toward others based on kindness, compassion, love and respect. - Dali Lama

The foundation of all spiritual practice is love. - The Dalai Lama

It is essential at the beginning of practice to acknowledge that the path is personal and intimate. It is no good to examine it from a distance as if it were someone else’s. You must walk it for yourself. - Robert Aitken

Don’t seek, don’t search, don’t ask, don’t knock, don’t demand – relax. If you relax, it comes. If you relax, it is there. If you relax, you start vibrating with it. - Osho

Spirritual Life

I started out on my spiritual journey in my mid-twenties when common sense and logic told me that the God people believe in couldn’t exist. I believe there is a higher ‘Order’ in the scheme of things. This order is ‘Dependent Origination’. It is this ‘Order’ that things come into being and non-being. This ‘Order’ is responsible for maintaining the equilibrium, keeping the universe together, keeping it going with its own laws.

Image from the internet

In our spiritual development we are often required to pull up roots many times and to close chapters in our lives until we are no longer attached to any material things and can love all people without any attachment to them. - Unknown

There is no need for temples, no need for complicated philosophies. My brain and my heart are my temples; my philosophy is kindness. - Dalai Lama

A rebirth out of spiritual adversity causes us to become new creatures. - James E. Faust

Great men are they who see that spirituality is stronger than any material force; that thoughts rule the world. - Ralph Waldo Emerson

Learning is the beginning of wealth. Learning is the beginning of health. Learning is the beginning of spirituality. Searching and learning is where the miracle process all begins. - Jim Rohn

Worldly pleasures and bad experiences are so transitory – knowing their transitory nature, their relative nature, their conventional nature, makes you free. - Unknown

One of the most spiritual things you can do is embrace your humanity. Connect with those around you today. - Steve Maraboli

When you live in complete acceptance of what is, that is the end of all drama in your life. - Eckhart Tolle

Mysticism

Mysticism is the journey Inward. Mystics embark on an inward journey, seeking to explore the depths of their own consciousness and soul. This journey often involves practices such as meditation, contemplation, and prayer.

Image from the internet

There’s a saying which states ‘Religion is for the masses, and mysticism is for the individual’. If you want to be a sheep and follow along with the masses to get a generic, candy-coated version of your spirituality, then follow the teachings of the Christian fathers. If you want to explore your won individual spirituality, you must go deeply inside yourself, instead of through church doors. - Jordan Maxwell

Mystical attainment is an individual accomplishment. Others influence our way of approaching life, but the development of the inner self must be undertaken in solitude. It is by retreating within, facing the real self, and relying on his own resources that the way to mastery of life is achieved. - Unknown

Although each of us obviously inhabits a separate physical body, the laboratory data from a hundred years of parapsychology research strongly indicate that there is no separation in consciousness. - Russell Targ

Zen Practice

Zen is a school of Mahayana Buddhism emphasizing meditation as the path to direct experience of one's true nature and inner peace. Originating in China as ‘Chan Buddhism’, it spread to Japan and focuses on the practice of zazen (seated meditation) and cultivating a calm, present-moment awareness to understand the illusory nature of the ego and suffering. 

Image from the internet

One has to reach to the absolute state of awareness: that is Zen. You cannot do it every morning for a few minutes or for half an hour and then forget all about it. It has to become like your heartbeat. You have to sit in it, you have to walk in it. Yes, you have even to sleep in it. - Osho

You mustn’t worry about how your practice is, whether you are making progress or not, whether you are in anguish or not. All these things are not important. They are like clouds passing in front of the moon. You must not be attached to anything that appears in your mind. - Zen master Seung Sahn

Zen is practice, experience, life – not explaining, interpreting, investigating, quibbling. All talk, as the Chinese masters of old say, is at best a finger pointing to the moon. The finger is not the moon and cannot pull the moon down. - Heinrich Dumoulin

Joy comes from appreciation. Appreciation comes from paying attention. Paying attention is the practice of Zen. - Zen Saying

In Zen, we don’t find the answers, we lost the questions. - Zen saying

Tao - The Way of Nature

Taoism emphasizes living in harmony with the Tao, (The Way of Nature) which means aligning oneself with the natural order of the universe and the flow of energy (Chi or Qi).

Image from the internet

Life exists only at this very moment. You may believe yourself out of harmony with life and its eternal Now; but you cannot be, for you are life and exist Now – otherwise you would not be here. Hence the infinite Tao is something which you can neither escape by flight nor catch by pursuit; there is no coming toward it or going away from it; it is, and you are it. So, become what you are. - Alan Watts

The Tao is supreme goodness. It has no form and is limitless. It is formless because there is no visible trace of its existence. The Tao is that energy that has existed from the beginning when there was neither structure nor differentiation. It is the source of life in heaven and on earth. - Shui-ch'ing Tzu

To study The Way is to study the self. To study the self is to forget the self. To forget the self is to be enlightened by all things. - Dogen

The Tao is near and people seek it far away. - Mencius

In the morning, hear the Way; in the evening, die content! - Confucius

If you overlook the Way right before your eyes, how will you recognize the path beneath your feet? - Shih-T’ou

Chi/Energy

All things have a frequency and a vibration. The wonderful thing to understand here is that the energy that you radiate or send out attracts other situations, events, persons, etc. which are in harmony with your internal energy field. Pay attention to whom your energy increases and decreases around, because that’s the universe giving you a hint of who you should embrace or stay from.

Image from the internet

Energy is the currency of the universe. When you ‘pay’ attention to something, you buy that experience. So when you allow your consciousness to focus on someone or something that annoys you, you feed it your energy, and it reciprocates the experience of being annoyed. Be selective in your focus because your attention feeds the energy of it and keeps it alive. Not just within you, but in the collective consciousness as well. - Emily Marcoutian

At the ultimate level, cultivating energy leads to a wonderful sense of spiritual renewal. Some people have a vibrant living faith, either as part of an orthodox religion or through a private sense of belief. But many people nowadays feel alienated from traditional religions or unable to reconcile their own feelings with the dogma and rituals of age-old sects. However, once you begin to work with energy, the outward trappings of religion become unimportant. Ultimately, it doesn’t matter how you perceive God, Goddess, Creator, - when you connect to the living, vibrant energy of the universe, there is no need for names or titles. Instead there is a wonderful sense of belonging, of love, peace and connection. As beings of energy we become united with the source of all energy and therein lies our purpose and our meaning. - Unknown
