“must be willing to give up what I am in order to become what I will be.”
― Jill Bolte Taylor, My Stroke of Insight

“I'd come to realize that if a man is ever going to grasp anything it won't be by learning. His being has to change. You are what you do, not what you know. A man never learns; he becomes. To become, you must find ways and means to change your entire state of mind. This in turn will lead to a change of being.”
― Richard Rose

“There's some things even Enlightenment won't change. If you're a son-of-a-bitch before you visit the Absolute, you’ll still be a son-of-bitch after.”
― Richard Rose

“I come to you as a man selling air,
And you will think twice at the offer and price,
And you will argue that nothing is there,
Although we know that it is - everywhere.

I bring a formula largely untold, -
Of forces mixed with between and betwixt.
And only seen when allowed to unfold.
And better felt when the body is cold.

I have a map to the home of the soul,
Beyond the mind is a golden find, -
The paradox is a guide to the goal, -
Though doubt is sacred, each man is the Whole.”
― Richard Rose, Profound Writings East and West
