“The one person who most blocks you from a full, happy, and successful life is you. They are therefore wise who make themselves an asset. We can be our own worst enemies or best friends. We can be a source of trouble or a cure for trouble. So if you feel empty, as many do, start by getting free from yourself as a first stop to vibrant living.” IfsFeelsFirstsPersonsLife IsEnemySuccessfulWiseTroubleWorstSourceEmptyBlockCuresAssetsWorst EnemySuccessful Life Author:Norman Vincent Peale
“The art of decoration requires the most sophisticated and self-indulgent skills. Its aim has always been to sate the senses as gloriously as possible. ... ornament is not only a source of sensuous pleasure; it supplies a necessary kind of magic to people and places that lack it. More than just a dread of empty spaces has led to the urge to decorate; it is the fear of empty selves.” PeopleKindArtSelfSpacePleasureMagicSourceSkillsEmptyAimSensesUrgesDreadSophisticatedSuppliesOrnamentsDecorationEmpty SpaceSensuousSelf Indulgent Book:ARCHITECTURE, ANYONE?

“The whole material world. It doesn't actually exist. Matter is not material. It's made up of atoms that are moving at lightning speeds around huge empty spaces. So as you go beyond the appearance of molecules, you end up with a subatomic world, and if you go beyond that you end up with nothing. Nothing is the source of everything.” IfsWorldMadeEndsMatterWholeMovingSpaceMaterialsHugeSourceEmptyAppearanceSpeedAtomsLightningMoleculesEmpty SpaceMaterial World Author:Deepak Chopra

“Awakening is not a state but a process: an ethical way of life and commitment that enables human flourishing. As such, it is no longer the exclusive preserve of enlightened teachers or accomplished yogis. Likewise, nirvana-the stopping of craving-is not the goal of the path but its very source. For human flourishing first stirs in that clear, bright, empty space where neurotic self-centredness realizes that it has no ground at all to stand on. One is then freed to pour forth like sunlight.” WayFirstsHumansSelfStatesProcessGoalRealizingSpacePathClearTeacherSourceCommitmentEmptyAwakeningPreservesAccomplishedEnlightenedEthicalSunlightStoppingCravingExclusiveNeuroticFlourishingEmpty SpaceYogi Author:Stephen Batchelor
“The body is made up of atoms and subatomic particles that are moving at lightning speed around huge empty spaces and the body gives off fluctuations of energy and information in a huge void, so essentially your body is proportionately as void as intergalactic space, made out of nothing, but the nothing is actually the source of information and energy.” GivingMadeBodyMovingEnergySpaceInformationHugeSourceEmptySpeedYour BodyAtomsVoidLightningParticlesEmpty SpaceFluctuationSubatomic Particles Author:Deepak Chopra
“Usually when I draw, I try to be in a contemplative mood. I try to keep my mind as empty, vacant and tranquil as possible. The outer mind is like the surface of the sea. On the surface, the sea is full of waves and surges; it is all restlessness. But when we dive deep below, the same sea is all peace, calmness and quiet, and there we find the source of creativity.” TryingMindCreativitySeaSourceQuietDrawsEmptyWaveSurfaceMoodCalmnessRestlessnessTranquilContemplativeVacant Author:Sri Chinmoy
“Passion. It lies in all of us. Sleeping... waiting... and though unwanted, unbidden, it will stir... open its jaws and howl. It speaks to us... guides us. Passion rules us all. And we obey. What other choice do we have? Passion is the source of our finest moments. The joy of love... the clarity of hatred... the ecstasy of grief. It hurts sometimes more than we can bear. If we could live without passion, maybe we'd know some kind of peace. But we would be hollow. Empty rooms, shuttered and dank. Without passion, we'd be truly dead.” IfsKnowsLifeKindSometimesMomentsWould BeJoyLyingDesireChoicesPassionSpeakPeaceWaitingHurtSleepRoomsGriefSourceBearsEmptyHatredPassionateGuidesClarityEcstasyFinestIt HurtsHollowHowlUnwantedPassionate LifeLive With PassionGreat PassionLove PassionSlayerLove And PassionPassion For LifeBuffy The Vampire SlayerDankPassion For What You DoEmpty RoomsPassion And DesireInspirational PassionFinest Moments Author:Joss Whedon
“In the beginning was belief, foolish belief, and faith, empty faith, and illusion, the terrible illusion. ... We believed in God, had faith in man, and lived with the illusion that in each one of us is a sacred spark from the fire of the shekinah, that each one carried in his eyes and in his soul the sign of God.
