"Los indios creeks y seminoles celebraban en año nuevo, cuando recogían el grano, un ayuno de dos días antes de consumir una "bebida negra" que purgaba los estómagos. Este rito de purificación se realizaba antes de consumir el grano nuevo de las cosechas, como una forma de evitar la contaminación de éste (comunión del dios cereal) con los alimentos mundanos. Ese día quemaban sus pertenencias viejas" — 2 hours, 15 min ago

“Forget the self and you will fear nothing, in whatever level or awareness you find yourself to be.”

“Death is the only wise advisor that we have. Whenever you feel, as you always do, that everything is going wrong and you're about to be annihilated, turn to your death and ask if that is so. Your death will tell you that you're wrong; that nothing really matters outside its touch. Your death will tell you, 'I haven't touched you yet.”
― Journey to Ixtlan: The Lessons of Don Juan

“Lose yourself,
Lose yourself in this love.
When you lose yourself in this love,
you will find everything.
Lose yourself,
Lose yourself.
Do not fear this loss,
For you will rise from the earth
and embrace the endless heavens.
Lose yourself,
Lose yourself.
Escape from this earthly form,
For this body is a chain
and you are its prisoner.
Smash through the prison wall
and walk outside with the kings and princes.
Lose yourself,
Lose yourself at the foot of the glorious King. When you lose yourself
before the King
you will become the King.
Lose yourself,
Lose yourself.
Escape from the black cloud
that surrounds you.
Then you will see your own light
as radiant as the full moon.
Now enter that silence.
This is the surest way
to lose yourself. . . .
What is your life about, anyway?—
Nothing but a struggle to be someone,
Nothing but a running from your own silence.”
― Rumi: In the Arms of the Beloved
