Quote by Cary G. Weldy

“McDonald’s has toned down its bright yellow motif and radically expanded its color scheme when it announced in early 2016 that “the new look is simple, fresh, and consistent with the company’s vision to be a modern and progressive burger company.” Interestingly, it was about that time when the company decided to substitute its signature red and yellow colors that its sales began to substantially decline.”

“We also have to give up the notion of a divine savior, which has nothing to do with what religion we belong to, but refers to the idea of someone or something who will save us without our having to go through any pain. In fact, giving up that kind of false hope is the first step. We have to be with ourselves. We have to be real people. There is no way of beating around the bush, hoping for the best. If you are really interested in working with yourself, you can’t lead that kind of double life, adopting ideas, techniques, and concepts of all kinds, simply in order to get away from yourself.”

“Self proclamation of authoritative titles is a common phenomenon among religious and/or occult sect leaders. A cursory survey of this primarily 20th century phenomenon will instantly reveal a multitude of self-declared Masters, High Priests, gurus, Ipsissimi, Bhaghwani, etc.. I am pleased that I cannot count myself among such types. Legitimate religious teachers and scholars know that a genuine spiritual leader is one whose calling to lead is first noticed by those outside of him or herself based on certain qualities, abilities, and actions and then must subsequently be accepted by the individual in question as his or her destiny. This contrasts with those whose will to lead is born simply out of the mundane wish to be a leader. In such cases the goal being to reap the rewards a title brings without the hard work and the innate, manifest qualities which validate the position; in short what might be considered a 'false prophet'." --“From the Eye of the Storm” (Zeena's column for the SLM) Volume II – Winter Issue (2003): “One Year Later...”

“In your life too, the interplay of ego and essence is at work, Shadow and light are part of your nature. In your heart, there is that duality. Pride and deep truth, are together, in you. In your soul, the story of you, as the hero, is softly spun, Witness even in mundane acts, grandeur’s seeds are sown. Your daily deeds, though small, are never done, In every breath, your true, victorious self is shown. At times unseen in day’s bright, blinding light, You shine with fierce resolve past night’s embrace, Is this a humble life – in silence’s might? Perhaps. Though, maybe, you calmly shape the world, and time, and space.”

“Liebes Fräulein, ich kenne Sie noch nicht. Trotzdem, oder vielleicht gerade deswegen, möchte ich Ihnen für den Umgang mit Menschen eine Arbeitshypothese anvertrauen, die sich bewährt hat. Es handelt sich um eine Theorie, die nicht richtig zu sein braucht. Aber sie führt in der Praxis zu verwendbaren Ergebnissen." "Und wie lautet Ihre Hypothese?" "Man halte hier jeden Menschen, mit Ausnahme der Kinder und Greise, bevor das Gegenteil nicht unwiderleglich bewiesen ist, für verrückt. Richten Sie sich danach, Sie werden bald erfahren, wie nützlich der Satz sein kann. "Soll ich bei Ihnen damit beginnen?", fragte sie. "Ich bitte darum", meinte er.”

“O.K., so I'm not so smart. I'm working class. But it's the working class that keeps the world running, and it's the working class that gets exploited. What the hell kind of revolution have you got just tossing out big words that working-class people can't understand? What the hell kind of social revolution is that? I mean, I'd like to make the world a better place, too. If somebody's really being exploited, we've got to put a stop to it. That's what I believe, and that's why I ask questions.”

“Consider undertaking the vows and practice of a Bodhisattva. In taking these vows you will join with the hundreds of thousands of Buddhists in the west and millions in Asia who have done so. As is traditional, you might seek out a Buddhist center or temple and take the Bodhisattva vow in the presence of a teacher. Or, if you cannot do so, you can take them at home. Create a sacred space and place there the images of Bodhisattvas or Buddhas who have gone before you. If you wish, invite a friend or friends to be your witness. Sit quietly for a time and reflect on the beauty and value of a life dedicated to the benefit of all. When you are ready, add any meaningful ritual, the lighting of candles, the taking of refuge. Then recite your vows. Here is one traditional version, but there are many others: Suffering beings are numberless, I vow to liberate them all. Attachment is inexhaustible, I vow to release it all. The gates to truth are numberless, I vow to master them all. The way of awakening is supreme, I vow to realize… You can modify the language of these vows so that they speak your deepest dedication. Then you can repeat them every time you sit in meditation, to direct and dedicate your practice.”
