“In their pure form, the martial arts demand the intense awareness of the meditative mind, and have nothing to do with anger or wanton aggression. A practitioner is taught from the outset that the skills must never be used for personal gain, but only in self-defence or in the protection of others -- and even then only enough force as is absolutely necessary should be used.” ShouldMindArtSelfEnoughFormUsedForceAwarenessTaughtPureSkillsDemandGainsProtectionIntenseMartial ArtsAggressionDefenceWantonSelf DefencePersonal Gain Author:David Fontana
“Introspection is self-improvement and therefore introspection is self-centeredness. Awareness is not self-improvement. On the contrary, it is the ending of the self, of the “I,” with all its peculiar idiosyncrasies, memories, demands, and pursuits. In introspection there is identification and condemnation. In awareness there is no condemnation or identification; therefore, there is no self-improvement. There is a vast difference between the two.” TwoSelfDifferencesMemoriesAwarenessDemandSelf ImprovementContraryImprovementPursuitPeculiarIntrospectionIdentificationCondemnationIdiosyncrasiesSelf CenterednessCenteredness Author:Jiddu Krishnamurti
“Gardening is one of the rewards of middle age, when one is ready for an impersonal passion, a passion that demands patience, acute awareness of a world outside oneself, and the power to keep on growing through all the times of drought, through the cold snows, towards those moments of pure joy when all failures are forgotten and the plum tree flowers.” WorldMomentsAgeJoyPassionGrowingTreeMiddleAwarenessReadyFlowerColdPureDemandRewardsForgottenOneselfSnowGardeningMiddle AgesDroughtPlumsFlower GardenPure Joy Book:Plant Dreaming Deep: A Journal Source: Plant Dreaming Deep: A Journal
“I think that has to do with my awareness that in a sense we all have a certain measure of responsibility to those who have made it possible for us to take advantage of the opportunities. The door is opened only so far. If some of us can squeeze through the crack of that door, then we owe it to those who have made those demands that the door be opened to use the knowledge or the skills that we acquire not only for ourselves but in the service of the community as well. This is something that I guess I decided a long time ago.” IfsThinkingWellsLongMadeUseCertainOpportunityCommunityResponsibilityDoorsAwarenessSkillsDemandLong TimeAdvantageDecidedMade ItAcquireCracksLong Time Ago Author:Angela Davis
“Political movements for justice are part of the fuller development of the cosmos, and nature is the matrix in which humans come to their self-awareness of their power to transform. Liberation movements are a fuller development of the cosmos's sense of harmony, balance, justice, and celebration. This is why true spiritual liberation demands rituals of cosmic celebrating and healing, which will in turn culminate in personal transformation and liberation.” HumansSelfSpiritualPoliticalTurnsJusticeHealingAwarenessMovementDevelopmentBalanceDemandTransformationHarmonySelf AwarenessCelebrateLiberationCosmosRitualCosmicCelebrationPersonal TransformationPolitical Movements Author:Matthew Fox
“Every time is a time for comedy in a world of tension that would languish without it. But I cannot confine myself to lightness in a period of human life that demands light. We all know that, as the old adage has it, "It is later than you think." But I also say occasionally: "It is lighter than you think." In this light let's not look back in anger, or forward in fear, but around in awareness.” ThinkingKnowsWorldHumansLooksLightComedyAwarenessPeriodsDemandHuman LifeTensionAdagesLightersLightnessLanguish Author:James Thurber

“I don't have an agenda. I don't have things I want to get to or something. I have like a broad, slim grasp of certain periods and certain shows within that period, an awareness of them, but they demand re-listening.
