“The body and mind are continually changing, and are, in fact, only names of series of changeful phenomena, like rivers whose waters are in a constant state of flux, yet presenting the appearance of unbroken streams. Every particle in this body is continually changing; no one has the same body for many minutes together, and yet we think of it as the same body.” ThinkingMindStatesFactsBodyTogetherNamesWaterChangeMinutesRiversConstantSeriesAppearanceStreamsParticlesMind And BodyPresentingUnbrokenFlux Book:Jnana Yoga: The Yoga of Knowledge Source: Jnana Yoga: The Yoga of Knowledge
“My aging body transmits an ageless life stream. Molecular and atomic replacement change life's composition. Molecules take part in structure and in training, countless trillions of them. After my death, the molecules of my being will return to the earth and sky. They came from the stars. I am of the stars.” BodyEarthStarsSkyReturnTrainingStructureAgingLife ChangingStreamsCompositionMoleculesTransmitReplacementsEarth And SkyAgeless Book:Autobiography of values Source: Autobiography of values
“My new work deals with emptying my body: 'Boat emptying, stream entering.' This means that you have to empty the body/boat to the point where you can really be connected with the fields of energy around you. I think that men and women in our Western culture are completely disconnected from that energy, and in my new work I want to make this connection possible.” ThinkingMenWantMeanBodyCultureEnergyDealsFieldsMen And WomenEmptyConnectionsWesternConnectedBoatStreamsEnteringDisconnectedWestern CultureNew Work Author:Marina Abramovic
“The body remembers, the bones remember, the joints remember, even the little finger remembers. Memory is lodged in pictures and feelings in the cells themselves. Like a sponge filled with water, anywhere the flesh is pressed, wrung, even touched lightly, a memory may flow out in a stream.” MayLittlesFeelingsBodyRememberWaterMemoriesFlowFilledFingersBonesFleshCellsStreamsTouchedJointsSponges Author:Clarissa Pinkola Estes
