“The abstract intelligence produces a fatigue that's the worst of all fatigues. It doesn't weigh on us like bodily fatigue, nor disconcert like the fatigue of emotional experience. It's the weight of our consciousness of the world, a shortness of breath in our soul.” WorldSoulConsciousnessWorstProduceEmotionalWeightBreathsAbstractFatigueShortness Author:Fernando Pessoa

“Bring your attention to your breathing and realize that you are not doing it. It is the breath of nature. You reconnect with nature in the most intimate and powerful way by becoming aware of your breathing and learning to hold your attention there. This is a healing and deeply empowering thing to do.

“Once again, we are reminded that awakening, or enlightenment is not the property of Buddhism, any more than Truth is the property of Christianity. Neither the Buddha nor the Christ belongs exclusively to the communities that were founded in their names. They belong to all people of goodwill, all who are attentive to the secret which lives in the depths of their breath and their consciousness.” PeopleNamesChristCommunitySecretConsciousnessChristianityBuddhismTruth IsEnlightenmentBreathsPropertyDepthAwakeningGoodwill Author:Jean Leloup
“'Who am I?' The answer is 'I am God'. The body comes and goes, but the Atma is permanent. The body has birth and death, but the spirit does not have any of these. You reach the stage where you say, 'I am God', but even there, there is duality, 'God and I'. That is not the full Truth. When we breathe, the breath makes the sound of 'So-Hum', 'He am I'. There is still the body consciousness, the 'I'. But in deep sleep, the declaration of 'He' and 'I' falls away and only '0' and 'M' remain, 'Om'; there is only the One.” DoeStillsBodySpiritFallSoundSleepAnswersConsciousnessStageBirthBreathsBreathePermanentDeclarationComes And GoesDualityBirth And DeathDeep Sleep Author:Sathya Sai Baba
