― Criss Jami, Healology

“Easter Contemplations

It does not concern me
If this life is all I have.
I do not need a resurrection
Or reincarnation
Or to live with the gods.

It is enough to live
With you here
In the days of your presence.

When my breathes
Are complete,
Lay me by your side
In the dust.
As in life, so in death.
Let us become one
With each other again.”
― Eric Overby, Journey

I'm looking for the gold in this life
A love so rare

No heaven, no hell, no paradise

Cause you can't step
In the same river twice”

“What does it take to use the life we already have in order to make us wiser rather than more stuck? What is the source of wisdom at a personal, individual level? To the degree that I've understood the teachings, the answer to these questions seems to have to do with bringing everything that we encounter to the path. Everything naturally has a ground, path and fruition. This is like saying that everything has a beginning, a middle and an end. But it is also said that the path itself is both the ground and the fruition. So, one sometimes reads, the path is the goal. This path has one very distinct characteristic, it is not prefabricated, it doesn't already exist. The path that we're talking about is the moment by moment evolution of our experience. The moment by moment evolution of the world of phenomena. The moment by moment evolution of our thoughts and our emotions. The path is not Route 66 destination Los Angeles. It's not as if we can take out a map and figure out that this year we might make it to Gallup, New Mexico and maybe by 2001 we'll be in LA. The path is uncharted. It comes into existence moment by moment and at the same time drops away behind us. It's like riding in a train sitting backwards. We can't see where we're headed, only where we've been. This is a very encouraging teaching because it says the source of wisdom is whatever is going to happen to us today. The source of wisdom is whatever is happening to us right at this very instant. We're always in some kind of mood. It might be sadness, it might be anger, it might be not much of anything, just a kind of blur. It might be humor or contentment. In any case, whatever it is, that's the path. When something hurts in life, we don't usually think of it as our path or as the source of wisdom. In fact we think that the reason we're on the path is to get rid of this painful feeling. When I get to LA I won't feel this way anymore. At that level of wanting to get rid of our feeling, we naively cultivate a subtle aggression against ourselves. However the fact is that anyone who has used the moments and days and years of his or her life to become wiser, kinder, and more at home in the world has learned from what has happened right now. We can aspire to be kind right in the moment, to relax and open our heart and mind to what is in front of us right in the moment. Now is the time. If there is any possibility for enlightenment, it's right now. Not at some future time. Now is the time. Now is the only time.”

“It is important to be aware, who you are now than who you are going to be.?”
― Aditya Ajmera

“Empirically speaking, there is no such thing as history, destiny and even future for that matter, what there really is, is the “now”. And this very “now” – this very moment is the only thing which you have in your hands – in fact, it is the only time that actually exists – the “now”. So, be aware of that “now”and you will literally begin to see all moments like a true seer, without all the mystical nonsense.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Time to Save Medicine

“It’s the silence of the night, those few minutes just before the earth wakes and the night walkers have retired
It’s the moist dewy air; a mixture of a dull warmth entangled with a breezy coolness.
It’s the humidity that fills the air and ——
It’s the flashes of the movie projector as another memory emerges”
― Anonymous-9

To seek the light is in now,
To search for the truth now,

To enlighten yourself is now,
To become aware is now,
To be present is in now!”

NOW is the only time.”

“Let’s never say ‘tomorrow,’ because all we ever have is the moment. People think there’s a future, but there really isn’t, not if we want to be totally honest with ourselves. There’s the past, which we might wish desperately that we can change, and there’s now. If we don’t seize the now with all our might, it becomes just another part of the past that we end up wishing we could change.”
― Dean Koontz, The Other Emily
