What people really want is to be fully themselves.
They want the sense of aliveness.
But they want it through this, that, or the other.
They don't realize that nothing can give it to you
because you already have it.
And not only do you have it,
you are it,
you are what you're looking for already.
You don't know that because
you're always looking somewhere else.
You can only know that
in the Now
by aligning yourself with the Now
and with the power that is there within you.
- Eckhart Tolle
I see your true colors shining through...

-Cyndi Lauper
Both abundance and lack exist
simultaneously in our lives, as parallel realities/
It is always our conscious choice which secret garden
we will tend...
When we choose not to focus on what is missing
from our lives
but are grateful for the abundance that's present
/love, health, family, friends, work, the joys of nature
and personal pursuits that bring us pleasure/
the wasteland of illusion falls away and we experience
Heaven on earth.
- Sarah Ban Breathnach

-Key West
A human being is part of a whole, called by us the
Universe..... He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings as something
separated from the rest a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This
delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and
affection for a few persons nearest us. Our task must be to free ourselves from
this prison by widening our circles of compassion to embrace all living
creatures....

External power is
looking outside yourself for power and

the external world

Well I know it wasn't you who held me down
Heaven knows it wasn't you who set me free
So often times it happens
that we live our lives in chains and
we never even know we have the key.
- Eagles from "Already Gone"
People are far too involved in their own lives

- John Holland
July 2012 Quote:
Humans spend a lot of time not in the purity

the thoughts about things are more real than the things themselves.

the only one you know you have for sure.
