“I look to everyday magic in art to remember how to live: how to estrange and vivify ordinary objects and beings. So little, really, is ordinary, but to remember this I need the brain chemical of painting and film and reading I had a thrummy doomed oracular feeling when I wrote blackened baby teeth into my little blind boy story: I saw teeth and in an instant they were becoming something else. They were buckshot. They were food. They were tiny flightless corvids.” NeedsLooksLittlesArtStoriesFeelingsRememberFilmReadingBrainBoysSawsMagicObjectsPaintingBabyBecomingOrdinaryBlindEverydayTinyTeethInstantChemicalsDoomedBecoming SomethingBaby Teeth Author:Noy Holland
“See that you are not what you believe yourself to be. Fight with all the strength at your disposal against the idea that you are nameable and describable. You are not. Refuse to think of this or that. There is no other way out of misery, which you have created for yourself through blind acceptance without investigation. Suffering is a call for inquiry, all pain needs investigation. Don't be lazy to think.” ThinkingWayNeedsBelieveIdeasPainSufferingFightingAcceptanceBlindMiseryRefuseBelieve In YourselfLazyInvestigationInquiryBlind Acceptance Author:Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
“If you see the humanity in the world, grains of sand that bring everything to a halt - corruption, clashes of egos, human factors more than resources. So, how to avoid that? There’s a lack of human maturity. So it’s not been a fertile exercise to perfect yourself to some extent before you serve others, otherwise it’s like cutting the wheat when it’s still green. And nobody is fed by that. So we need a minimum of readiness to efficiently and wisely be at the service of others. So compassion needs also to be sort of enlightened by wisdom. Otherwise, it’s blind.” IfsWorldNeedsHumansStillsHumanityPerfectCompassionCuttingExerciseEgoResourcesBlindGreenCorruptionFactorsVainMaturitySandEnlightenedFedsGrainMinimumClashHaltWheatReadinessGrains Of Sand Author:Matthieu Ricard

“Faith is not a soft option offered to people who need a crutch to get through the rest of their lives. Faith is the supernatural activity of God whereby He opens blind eyes, unstops deaf ears, and a man or a woman says- “I see it now. I get it now. I am going to trust in God. I am going to trust in Jesus.” PeopleMenNeedsEyeJesusActivityEarsBlindTrust In GodDeafCrutchesBlind EyesDeaf Ears Author:Alistair Begg
