“Go first to your Highest Thought about yourself. Imagine the you that you would be if you lived that thought every day.

“Imagine a world in which we saw beyond the lines that divide us, and celebrated our differences, instead of hiding from them.

“I am dead already. Physical death will make no difference in my case. I am timeless being. I am free of desire or fear, because I do not remember the past or imagine the future. Where there are no names and shapes, how can there be desire and fear? With desirelessness comes timelessness. I am safe, because what is not, cannot touch what is. You feel unsafe, because you imagine danger. Of course, your body as such is complex and vulnerable and needs protection. But not you. Once you realize your own unassailable being, you will be at peace.” NeedsFeelsBodyPastRememberDeathDesireCoursesNamesFearPeaceRealizingDifferencesCasesImagineDangerFutureShapesSafeComplexesProtectionYour BodyVulnerableTimelessTimelessnessUnsafeRemembering The Past Author:Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
“There is not such a mighty difference as some men imagine between the poor and the rich; in pomp, show, and opinion, there is a great deal, but little as to the pleasures and satisfactions of life. They enjoy the same earth and air and heavens; hunger and thirst make the poor man's meat and drink as pleasant and relishing as all the varieties which cover the rich man's table; and the labor of a poor man is more healthful, and many times more pleasant, too, than the ease and softness of the rich.” MenLittlesShowsEarthHeavenEnjoyDifferencesPleasurePoorDealsOpinionPovertyRichImagineAirDrinkLaborTablesHungerSatisfactionVarietyEaseMeatPleasantThirstRich ManPoor ManSoftnessHunger And Thirst Author:Thomas Sherlock
“Imagine, capitalist America also divides the anarchists into two categories, philosophic and criminal.

“I really don't understand how bipartisanship is ever going to work when one of the parties is insane.

“There are a few pretty fundamental differences. In voice acting, if you are doing game recording, for the most part you are going to be by yourself in a studio.
