“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

“For me as a midfielder, Paul Scholes was the best possible teacher. When people ask me my hardest opponent, I always refer to Paul in training. Facing him improved me so much because his astonishing quality gave me something to aim for. He never gave the ball away, he could nutmeg you, he could make you look a fool, his range of passing was remarkable, his touch and awareness, everything was top notch. Seeing Scholesy made you stand back and realize you had a long way to go, because he was awesome.” PeopleWayLooksLongMadeAsksRealizingQualityTeacherSeeingAwarenessFoolTrainingBallsAimPassingHardestPassingsRangeAsk MeOpponentsRemarkableLong WayAstonishingScholesNotchesLong Way To GoPaul ScholesMidfieldersTop Notch Author:Darren Fletcher
“Yet you could feel a vibration in the air, a sense of hastening. It had started with the moon, inaccessible poem that it was. Now men had walked upon it, rubber treads on a pearl of the gods. Perhaps it was an awareness of time passing, the last summer of the decade. Sometimes I just wanted to raise my hands and stop. But stop what? Maybe just growing up.” MenFeelsSometimesHandsWantedLastsGrowing UpGrowingAirAwarenessMoonSummerRaisesDecadesPassingPassingsPearlsVibrationsTime PassingRubberInaccessibleLast SummerJust Kids Book:Just Kids Source: Just Kids
“Morning or night, Friday or Sunday, made no difference, everything was the same: the gnawing, excruciating, incessant pain; that awareness of life irrevocably passing but not yet gone; that dreadful, loathsome death, the only reality, relentlessly closing in on him; and that same endless lie. What did days, weeks, or hours matter?” MadeMatterRealityPainLyingNightHoursDifferencesMorningGoneWeekAwarenessEndlessPassingPassingsSundayFridayClosingIncessantAwareness Of Life Author:Leo Tolstoy

“At last the cold crept up my spine; at last it filled me from foot to head; at last I grew so chill and desolate that all thought and pain and awareness came to a standstill. I wasn't miserable anymore: I wasn't anything at all. I was a nothing-- a random configuration of molecules. If my heart still beat I didn't know it. I was aware of one thing only; next to the gaping fact called Death, all I knew was nothing, all I did meant nothing, all I felt conveyed nothing. This was no passing thought. It was a gnawing, palpable emptiness more real than the cold.” IfsKnowsHeartStillsRealFactsPainLastsNextFeltOne ThingFeetAwarenessGrewColdMy HeartBeatsFilledPassingPassingsMiserableEmptinessChillSpineMoleculesDesolateConfigurationStandstill Author:David James Duncan
“There are some moments you'd rather sleep through, pass from point A to point B without awareness of the time passing or the events that carry you from present to future.
