“In our usual mind state, we are continually activating the process that in Buddhist terminology is known as 'bhava,' which literally means 'becoming.' In this space of becoming, we are subtly leaning forward into the future, trying to have security based on feeling that we can hold on, we can try to keep things from changing.” TryingMindMeanStatesFeelingsProcessSpaceKnownSecurityBecomingBuddhistUsualTerminology Author:Sharon Salzberg
“This life therefore is not righteousness, but growth in righteousness, not health, but healing, not being but becoming, not rest but exercise. We are not yet what we shall be, but we are growing toward it, the process is not yet finished, but it is going on, this is not the end, but it is the road. All does not yet gleam in glory, but all is being purified.” DoeEndsProcessGrowthHealingGrowingBecomingExerciseGloryFinishedThis LifeThought ProvokingRighteousnessGleam Book:Works of Martin Luther Source: Works of Martin Luther

“Yes, what we are doing is probably mad, and probably it is good and necessary all the same. It is not a good thing when man overstrains his reason and tries to reduce to rational order matters that are susceptible of rational treatment. Then there arise ideals such as those of the Americans or of the Bolsheviks. Both are extraordinarily rational, and both lead to a frightful oppression and impoverishment of life, because they simplify it so crudely. The likeness of man, once a high ideal, is in process of becoming a machine-made article. It is for madmen like us, perhaps, to ennoble it again.” MenTryingMadeMatterReasonOrderProcessBecomingIdealsMachinesMadGood ThingsAriseRationalOppressionTreatmentArticlesSimplifyMadmenSusceptibleBolsheviks Author:Hermann Hesse
