"Jediným přitažlivým rysem rodin z televizních seriálů, s nimiž trávíme většinu času, je, že se nedívají na televizi. Kdyby to dělali, byli by tak nudní jako my a my bychom je vypnuli stejně rychle jako vypínáme sebe."

— James Monaco

fear is only inverted faith; it is faith in evil instead of good

strach je jen víra naruby, je to víra ve zlo místo v dobro

Liberation is the ability to see multiple options.

Osvobození je schopnost vidět víc možností.

Meditujeme, abychom si zvykli na sebe sama. Na přirozený stav, když se mysl uklidní a my nahlédneme, že jsme TO, co se rýsuje na pozadí, nedotčené a sebevyzařující Jáství, které náboženství nazývají Bůh. Ticho vyvolává kontrast a tento kontrast nám umožňuje vnímat/chápat co nejsme. Až si všimneme, co jsme, učíme se TO uvědomovat za všech okolností; místo hledání se nacházíme, k čemuž je pak každý vzruch a pohyb příležitost.

"I'm Catholic and I can't commit suicide, but I plan to drink myself to death." And so he did.

In fact, doing is never enough if you neglect Being. The ego knows nothing of being but believes you will eventually be saved by doing. If you are in the grip of the ego, you believe that by doing more and more you will eventually accumulate enough “doings” to make yourself feel complete at some point in the future. You won't. You will only lose yourself in doing. The entire civilization is losing itself in doing that is not rooted in Being and thus becomes futile.

Your sense of who you are determines what you perceive as your needs and what matters to you in life – and whatever matters to you will have the power to upset and disturb you. You can use this as a criterion to find out how deeply you know yourself. What matters to you is not necessarily what you say or believe, but what your actions and reactions reveal as important and serious to you. So you may what to ask yourself the question: What are the things that upset and disturb me? If small things have the power to disturb you, then who you think you are is exactly that: small. That will be your unconscious belief. What are the small things? Ultimately all things are small things because all things are transient.

The world always makes sure that you cannot fool yourself for long about who you really think you are by showing you what truly matters to you. How you react to people and situations, especially when challenges arise, is the best indicator of how deeply you know yourself. The more limited, the more narrowly egoic the view of yourself, the more you will see, focus on, and react to the egoic limitations, the
unconsciousness in others. Their “faults” or what you perceive as their faults become to you their identity. His means you will see only the ego in them and thus strengthen the ego in yourself. Instead of looking “through” the ego in others, you are looking “at” the ego. Who is looking at the ego? The ego in you.

Nonresistance is the key to the greatest power in the universe. Through it, consciousness (spirit) is freed form its imprisonment in form. Inner nonresistance to form – whatever is or happens – is a denial of the absolute reality of form. Resistance makes the world and the things of the world appear more real, more solid, and more lasting than they are, including your own form identity, the ego. It endows the world and the ego with a heaviness and an absolute importance that makes you take yourself and the world very seriously. The play of form is then misperceived as a struggle for survival, and when that is your perception, it becomes your reality.
