Life is not complex. We are complex. Life is simple, and the simple thing is the right thing.

Be aware of your breathing. Notice how this takes attention away from your thinking and creates space.
— Eckhart Tolle (via lazyyogi)

(via ghostbread)

when you realize… that there’s nothing to realize
that it’s all just here
then what are you going to do?

— alan watts, the trap of seeking (via sol-psych)

Zen is not effort. Effort is tension, effort is work, effort is to achieve something. Zen is not something to achieve. You are already that. Just relax, relax so deeply that you become a revelation to yourself.
— Osho (via nirvikalpa)

Well, the world’s a swirl of particles, isn’t it? Atoms, molecules temporarily vibrating and dancing to a certain frequency, which we are conditioned to perceive as solid forms, as “reality.” These forms, of course, are really vectors and vortexes of energy, conjurations, “charmed particles,” if you will, temporarily assuming shapes before being dispersed and dematerialized. On that level, certainly everything can and will be dematerialized, since the fate of the earth is eventual immolation by the sun, which will one day explode, dispersing everything that exists back to its original elements. The Tibetan Buddhists, the Navajo, the aborigines of Australia and many other cultures have made literal diagrams of this dispersal, which is the fate of all forms. And of course we humans are staring dematerialization in the face all the time, aren’t we? We hover on the edge of it. Life is a ghost-show, after all; we’re frail phantoms fluttering in the winds of time, soon to vanish.

Try to learn to breathe deeply, really to taste food when you eat, and when you sleep, really to sleep. Try as much as possible to be wholly alive with all your might, and when you laugh, laugh like hell. And when you get angry, get good and angry. Try to be alive. You will be dead soon enough.
— Ernest Hemingway (via fernsandmoss)

From my rotting body, flowers shall grow, and I am in them, and that is eternity.

You have within you more love than you could ever understand.

The art of life begins with meditation. And by meditation I mean silence of the mind, silence of the heart, reaching to the very center of your being and finding the treasure that is your reality. Once you have known it, you can radiate love, you can radiate life, you can radiate creativity. Your words will become poetic, your gestures will have grace; even your silence will have a song to it. Each breath coming in, going out, each heartbeat is so precious because it is the heart beat of the universe itself — you are part of it.

you are a temporary incidental accumulation of particles…you are a randomly united lump of something
— Tolstoy (via sore-thumbelina)

Love should be like breathing. It should be just a quality in you, wherever you are, with whomsoever you are, or even if you are alone, Love goes on overflowing from you. It is not a question of being in Love with someone, it is a question of being Love.

Osho  (via st0ked)

Zen is an experience of dropping out of your mind and entering into your being. It is like a dewdrop slipping into the ocean. It disappears as a dewdrop. It dies, but, on the other hand, it is reborn. It becomes the ocean.

Osho  (via ohmothernature)

osho is a little cray but i like this quote

Before you speak, ask yourself, is it kind, is it necessary, is it true, does it improve on the silence?
— Sai Baba (via hallucinojenjen)

(via treesarethebeesknees)

We must become so alone, so utterly alone, that we withdraw into our innermost self. It is a way of bitter suffering. But then our solitude is overcome, we are no longer alone, for we find that our innermost self is the spirit, that it is God, the indivisible. And suddenly we find ourselves in the midst of the world, yet undisturbed by its multiplicity, for our innermost soul we know ourselves to be one with all being.
— Hermann Hesse  (via fernsandmoss)

The planet does not need more ‘successful’ people. But it does desperately need more peacemakers, healers, restorers, storytellers, and lovers of every shape and form. It needs people who live well in their places. It needs people of moral courage willing to join the fight to make the world habitable and humane. And these needs have little to do with success as our culture has defined it.
— David Orr  (via wethinkwedream)
