Let go of the past

There is only one courage

and that is the courage

to go on dying to the past,

not to collect it,

not to accumulate it,

not to cling to it.

We all cling to the past

and because we cling

to the past we become

unavailable

to the present.

~ Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh

If there is to be any kind of social change, there must be a different kind of education so that children are not brought up to conform

There is no end to education. It is not that you read a book, pass an examination, and finish with education. The whole of life, from the moment you are born to the moment you die, is a process of learning.

- Jiddu Krishnamurti

A population of slaves who do not have to be coerced because they love their servitude

“A really efficient totalitarian state would be one in which the all-powerful executive of political bosses and their army of managers control a population of slaves who do not have to be coerced because they love their servitude.”

― Aldous Huxley, Brave New World

Strength of mind rests in sobriety; for this keeps your reason unclouded by passion.

No one is free who has not obtained the empire of himself. No man is free who cannot command himself.

-Pythagoras

Wonder at your ability to draw in and generate all experiences, whether you label them as positive or negative.

The freedoms you want to experience for yourself, extend that vision to all life in the Universe.

All life is free to explore whatever frequency is chosen, even if it's a negative.

The totality of light and dark combined create the universal structure.

- The 9D Pleiadian Collective

Cannot be forced into a mechanical life

No society wants you to become wise: it is against the investment of all societies. If people are wise they cannot be exploited. If they are intelligent they cannot be subjugated, they cannot be forced into a mechanical life, to live like robots. They will assert themselves – they will assert their individuality. They will have the fragrance of rebellion around them; they will want to live in freedom.

OSHO

Light lamps of kindness and compassion

Our efforts to remove hatred and indifference from the world begin by trying to remove them from our own mind

- Amma

Those who are able to see beyond the shadows and lies of their culture

Those who are able to see beyond the shadows and lies of their culture will never be understood, let alone believed, by the masses.

- Plato

For those who are willing to make an effort...

For those who are willing to make an effort, great miracles and wonderful treasures are in store.

- Isaac Bashevis Singer

not his intelligence or how high he rises in this freak establishment

The true measure of a man is not his intelligence or how high he rises in this freak establishment. No, the true measure of a man is this: how quickly can he respond to the needs of others and how much of himself he can give.

- Philip K. Dick

"if there is one thing one can always yearn for, and sometimes attain, it is human love."

So much of what goes on between people is subliminally; so little is communicated openly. We talk and smile, have dinner together, discuss business and politics, celebrate holiday, and all the while other things are going on inside of us where no one else can enter and where we do not enter with full consciousness either.

- David Brahinsky

Who you are today is a manifestation of the social arrangements you were accidentally and randomly born into?

I believe we are a species with amnesia, I think we have forgotten our roots and our origins. I think we are quite lost in many ways. And we live in a society that invests huge amounts of money and vast quantities of energy in ensuring that we all stay lost. A society that invests in creating unconsciousness, which invests in keeping people asleep so that we are just passive consumers of products and not really asking any of the questions.

~ Graham Hancock

To face life without the depressive mind set is something else; ennobling, inspiring, courageous. To despair of all of it is immature, cowardly.

Knowing others is intelligence; knowing yourself is true wisdom. Mastering others is strength, mastering yourself is true power.

Lao-Tzu, philosopher (6th century B.C.)

If the masses started to accept UFOs...

If the masses started to accept UFOs, it would profoundly affect their attitude towards life, politics, everything. It would threaten the status quo. Whenever people come to realize that there are larger considerations than their own petty lives, they are ripe to make radical changes on a personal level, which would eventually lead to a political revolution in society as a whole.

Lao Tzu's four cardinal virtues on how to live a more meaningful life

Lao Tzu's four cardinal virtues on how to live a more meaningful life

Many centuries ago, Lao Tzu, spoke of the four cardinal virtues, teaching that when we practice them as a way of life, we come to know the truth of the universe. The ancient Chinese master said that living and practicing these teachings can open you to higher wisdom and greater happiness, as they realign you to the source and enable you to access all the powers that source energy has to offer.

"When you succeed in connecting your energy with the divine realm through high awareness and the practice of undiscriminating virtue, the transmission of the ultimate subtle truths will follow." Lao Tzu

Approaching spiritual doom?

A nation that continues year after year to spend more money on military defense than on programs of social uplift is approaching spiritual doom.
- Martin Luther King, Jr.

If you realized how beautiful you are, you would fall at your own feet.

Until I meet everything with unconditional love, my work is not done.

A thought is harmless unless we believe it. It’s not our thoughts, but our attachment to our thoughts, that causes suffering. Attaching to a thought means believing that it’s true, without inquiring. A belief is a thought that we’ve been attaching to, often for years.

Byron Katie

20 Quotes To End All Suffering By Byron Katie

We don't attach to people or to things; we attach to uninvestigated concepts that we believe to be true in the moment.
― Byron Katie, Loving What Is: Four Questions That Can Change Your Life

To those who have an insight into life, everything has meaning.

I am leading you ever more deeply into love. I am doing it my way, the perfect way, as I do with each soul.

To hear the angels sing - Dorothy Maclean

Without interrelation with society he cannot realize his oneness

Interdependence is and ought to be as much the ideal of man as self-sufficiency. Man is a social being. Without interrelation with society he cannot realize his oneness with the universe or suppress his egotism. His social interdependence enables him to test his faith and to prove himself on the touchstone of reality.

― Mahatma Gandhi
