Inspiratie
Als jij een vonk van verlangen hebt van binnen, om wakkerder en authentieker over deze aarde te willen wandelen dan je tot nu toe deed, dan vind je hier 'voedsel' om die vonk brandend te houden!
'Je bent als een dronkeman die je eigen huis zoekt, die vraagt naar iets dat vlak voor je neus is. Maar je ogen zijn niet helder – ze zitten vol meningen, onderscheid, ze zitten vol woorden en theorieën. Daardoor zie je wazig. In werkelijkheid sta je met je neus bovenop hetgeen je zoekt.'
Osho 'Het boek van Niets' 'You are taking an impression of whatever and whomever you look at. Whatever you see impresses itself on you. If you know that, you can use those impressions as food, as energy, and transform them. You become more balanced.
When you receive impressions mechanically, you're rejecting them, because you want to keep yourself separate. That's what we usually do. But why take yourself to be separate, since in truth, you are not? Everyone on this planet is breathing the same air. Only your conditioning makes you believe you are separate. If the cells in any part of you body thought they were separate, look at the chaos that would create in your body. Every one of the trillions of cells in your body are part of one organism. Because they support each other, you have vital energy. In connection, we receive energy. In separation, we lose energy'. J. Schreiber 'The Taste of Being Present-Essential Wisdom of Breema' 'Innerlijke eenheid wordt verkregen door 'wrijving', door de strijd tussen 'ja' en 'nee' in de mens. Indien een mens leeft zonder innerlijke strijd, indien alles in hem gebeurt zonder tegenstand, indien hij gaat waarheen hij wordt getrokken of waarheen de wind hem waait, zal hij blijven zoals hij is.'
P.D. Ouspensky 'Op zoek naar het wonderbaarlijke' 'Because we live our life in the mechanical dimension of consciousness, our relationships lack meaning. Meaning is not available in our ordinary level of consciousness.
Instead of trying to bring meaning to your relationships, leave them alone and bring meaning to yourself. You could begin by taking a few minutes each morning and making that time meaningful to yourself, in whatever way you can. For example, you could sit and breathe and ask your mind to stay with your inhalation and exhalation for several breaths. That time you establish for yourself could become the beginning of a foundation to support you. When enough meaning is accumulated in you, you may even be able to see through the difficulties in your relationships. To begin to see through them, you only need one grain of reality, one grain of beging present. Don't expect others to change. Don't expect them to be different. Your business is with yourself.' J. Schreiber 'Child of Existence, Child of Society' 'Through self-observation, more presence comes into your life automatically. The moment you realize you are not present, you are present. Whenever you are able to observe your mind, you are no longer trapped in it. Another factor has come in, something that is not of the mind: the witnessing presence.'
Eckart Tolle 'Practicing the Power of Now' 'An experience is something that can be filed away in a notebook, or captured on film and pasted into an album. Experiencing is the feeling of wonder itself, the thrill of communion, the gentle touch of our connectedness with all that surrounds us.'
Osho Zen Tarot – 'Experiencing' 'When you surrender to what is and so become fully present, the past ceases to have any power. The Realm of Being, which had been obscured by the mind, then opens up. Suddenly, a great stillness arises within you, an unfathomable sense of peace. And within that peace, there is great joy. And within that joy, there is love.'
Eckart Tolle 'Practicing the Power of Now' 'Maar onthoud, als je je vastklampt is 't het vastklampen als zodanig, dat het probleem vormt; het is om het even waaraan je je vastklampt. Je kunt je vastklampen aan je lichamelijke zinnen, aan genoegens. Maar ook aan verlichting, aan God. Je kunt je aan liefde vastklampen, je kunt je aan meditatie en gebed vastklampen. En als je je vastklampt, zit je weer vast.
Klamp je nergens aan vast, blijf vrij, blijf in beweging. Hoe meer je beweegt, des te dichter ben je bij jezelf. Als je volkomen in beweging bent, als je energie nergens vastzit, klopt de waarheid op je deur. Ze klopt altijd al aan, maar je zat vast en kon het niet horen. De waarheid ligt vlak voor je, op het puntje van je neus.' Osho 'Het boek van Niets' |
