Because we rely on language and reason, it is the level of the visible that we regard as reality. It appears to have an order, and is stable and predictable. Yet in actuality, it is elusive, temporary and ever changing. What we judge as permanent reality is only the surface appearance of an unfathomable force.

The Sorcerers' Crossing

The moment one begins dreaming-awake, a world of enticing, unexplored possibilities opens up. A world where the ultimate audacity becomes a reality... That's the time when man's definitive adventure begins. The world becomes limitless with possibilities and wonder.

Being-in-Dreaming

For a warrior there is no end to the mystery of being, whether being means being a pebble, or an ant, or oneself. That is a warrior's humbleness. One is equal to everything.

The Eagle's Gift

don't hate the player, hate the game

Život není v žádném případě a nikdy obyčejný, nudný nebo dokonce předvídatelný. Kterýkoliv byť sebemenší detail je něco, co se dá pozorovat celý život a pokaždé to je úplně nové. Něco, co v sobě skrývá víc informací, než může člověk za život pobrat. Jsme bionauti.

Osel a flétna

Na poli nějakou dobu ležela opuštěná flétna, na kterou už nikdo nehrál. Až jednoho dne šel kolem osel. Silně do ní foukl, až vydala nejkrásnější zvuk svého života, nejkrásnější v celém životě osla i flétny.
Oba nedokázali pochopit, co se vlastně stalo a vzhledem k tomu, že rozum nebyl jejich silnou stránkou, rychle se od sebe vzdálili, protože se styděli za to nejlepší, co každý z nich za svou smutnou existenci učinil.

Often people tend to live their lives backwards. They try to HAVE more things or more money in order to DO more of what they want, so that they will be happier.
The way it actually works is the reverse. You must first be who you really are, then do what you need to, in order to have what you want.
[ LUMP @ CITATY ... aneb veci, ktere vam pomohly otevrit oci ... ]

...freedom cannot be an investment. Freedom is an adventure with no end, in which we risk our lives and much more for a few moments of something beyond words, beyond thoughts or feelings.

Don Juan Matus, The Art of Dreaming

Mluvit znamená v jazyce toho, který naslouchá.

“Thousands of candles can be lit from a single candle, and the life of the candle will not be shortened. Happiness never decreases by being shared.”

Buddha Šákjamuni

Human beings have been trying to solve problems at the "doingness" level for a long time, without much succes.
That´s because true change is always made at the level of "being", not "doing".

může hloupýho napadnout chytrá myšlenka?

"Knowledge is certain, the search for personal knowing is very hazardous. Nobody can guarantee it. If you ask me if I can guarantee anything, I say I cannot guarantee you anything. I can only guarantee danger, that much is certain. I can only guarantee you a long adventure with every possibility of going astray and never reaching the goal. But one thing is certain: the very search will help you to grow.

I can guarantee only growth. Danger will be there, sacrifice will be there; you will be moving every day into the unknown, into the uncharted, and there will be no map to follow, no guide to follow. Yes, there are millions of dangers and you can go astray and you can get lost, but that is the only way one grows.

Insecurity is the only way to grow, to face danger is the only way to grow, to accept the challenge of the unknown is the only way to grow."
