YOUR MINDSET

“In every crisis there is a message.  Crises are nature's way of forcing change...breaking down old structures, shaking loose negative habits so that something new and better can take their place.”

~Susan L. Taylor

“The goal of life is to make the beat of your heartbeat match the beat of the universe, to match your nature with nature.”

~Joseph Campbell

 “We are living in a culture entirely hypnotized by the illusion of time, in which the so-called present moment is felt as nothing but an infinitesimal hairline between a causative past and an absorbingly important future. We have no present. Our consciousness is almost completely preoccupied with memory and expectation. We do not realize that there never was, is, nor will be any other experience than the present one.”

~Alan Watts

“One of the dysfunctional patterns of the mind is the assumption that the NOW needs to be filled with something all the time. Of course, you have to do things, but see if you can also experience the spaciousness of this moment, the inherent good in this moment, regardless of what it concerns.”

~Eckhart Tolle

“Fortunately, some are born with spiritual immune systems that sooner or later give rejection to the illusory worldview grafted upon them from birth through social conditioning.  They begin sensing that something is amiss and start looking for answers. Inner knowledge and anomalous outer experiences show them a side of reality others are oblivious to, and so begins their journey of awakening. Each step of the journey is made by following your heart instead of following the crowd and by choosing knowledge over the veils of ignorance.”

~Henri Bergson
