Quotes by Simon Parke  (?)

“My house was built by a partnership called Desire and Ignorance; they often work together, and always with disastrous consequences. It’s surprising they aren’t more talked of in the press. They are great survivors but incompetent builders. Desire is famous only for pursuing pleasure and avoiding pain, while Ignorance casts a veil over all his unexamined assumptions and makes wrong ones every hour. Together, they created the psychological reality where I live. Hardly a surprise, therefore, if it’s unfit for purpose!”
Simon Parke, One-Minute Mindfulness: How to Live in the Moment

“We don’t live and learn; we live and confirm discredited patterns of understanding.”
Simon Parke, One-Minute Mindfulness: How to Live in the Moment

“A human being,’ said Einstein, ‘is part of the whole, which we call the Universe; a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings, as something separate from the rest – a kind of optical delusion of consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty.”
