“are you breathing, are you lucky enough
to be breathing”
Hettie Jones

“The point is to wake up, not to earn a Ph.D. In waking up.”
Jed McKenna

Brother Lawrence
“That his prayer was nothing else but a sense of the presence of GOD, his soul being at that time insensible to everything but Divine love: and that when the appointed times of prayer were past, he found no difference, because he still continued with GOD, praising and blessing Him with all his might, so that he passed his life in continual joy; yet hoped that GOD would give him somewhat to suffer, when he should grow stronger.”
Brother Lawrence, The Practice of the Presence of God

“The text presented here, the Vajra Essence by Düdjom Lingpa, a nineteenth-century master of the Nyingma order of Tibetan Buddhism, is known as the Nelug Rangjung in Tibetan, meaning “the natural emergence of the nature of existence.”1 This is an ideal teaching in which to unravel some of the common misunderstandings of Tibetan Buddhism, since it is a sweeping practice that can take one from the basics all the way to enlightenment in a single lifetime. The present volume explains the initial section on shamatha, or meditative quiescence, about nine percent of the entire Vajra Essence root text.”
B. Alan Wallace, Stilling the Mind: Shamatha Teachings from Dudjom Lingpa's Vajra Essence

G.I. Gurdjieff
“The key to everything—remain apart. Our aim is to have constantly a sensation of oneself, of one’s individuality, this sensation cannot be expressed intellectually, because it is organic. It is something which makes you independent when you are with other people.”
G. Gurdjieff, Transcripts of Gurdjieff's Meetings 1941-1946
