“When you completely accept this moment, when you no longer argue with what is, the compulsion to think lessens and is replaced by an alert stillness. You are fully conscious, yet the mind is not labeling this moment in any way... It is a shift from identification with form --the thought or the emotion-- to being and recognizing yourself as that which has no form -- spacious awareness.” ThinkingWayMindMomentsFormEmotionAcceptingAwarenessConsciousArguingStillnessReplacedRecognizingCompulsionIdentificationLabeling Author:Eckhart Tolle
“There are some groups that for years and years have not gotten the rights that the majority of human beings have, and I think that it's important to continue to draw these parallels so that when we think about our future we can change some of the lives of people who love differently than we do, look different than we do, who come from a different class. It's all about bringing awareness to how important it is to be accepting of people...and there will be oppression if one group thinks they're more important or superior.” PeopleIfsThinkingYearsHumansLooksImportantDifferentHuman BeingsAcceptingClassRightsGroupsAwarenessDrawsMajoritySuperiorsOppressionOur FutureParallels Author:Janelle Monae
“There are a lot of obstacles in the way of our understanding animal intelligence - not the least being that we can't even agree whether nonhuman species are conscious.

“Define self-awareness and tell me what it is about it that requires something more than a material explanation. I do not accept the burden of explaining all phenomena, real or imagined.

“Meditation is not concentration. It is simple awareness. You simply relax and watch the breathing. In that watching, nothing is excluded. The car is humming - perfectly okay, accept it. The traffic is passing - that's okay, part of life. The fellow passenger snoring by your side, accept it. Nothing is rejected. You are not to narrow down your consciousness.” LifeSidesSimpleConsciousnessAcceptingWatchesMeditationAwarenessCarOkayFellowsPassingPassingsBreathingRelaxConcentrationRejectedTrafficParts Of LifePassengersYour SideExcludedHummingSnoring Author:Rajneesh
