“Straight away, remove yourself from the field of spiritual progression , stay away from contemplation and skillful discourse, do not do research or meditate on the divinities, and stop concentrating and reciting textbooks! Tell me, what is the absolute nature of reality which allows no room for doubt? Listen carefully! Stop holding on to this or that, inhabit your true absolute nature, and peacefully enjoy the essence of what it is to be alive!” LifeWisdomRealitySpiritualFaithEnjoyRoomsDoubtMeditationAliveAwarenessHuman NatureFieldsInspirational LifeListeningMindfulnessMusicianResearchEssenceAbsolutesCarefulAwakeningBuddhistLive LifeContemplationDivinityRemoveAllowingSpiritual WisdomDiscourseStoppingLiving My LifeEnjoy LifeTheologianHolding OnProgressionSpiritual AwakeningTextbooksConcentratingSkillfulReciting Author:Abhinavagupta
“Well I'm Superman, just not action. I'm kind of looking for something with a lot less action and more talking and listening. I also have a film that's premiering Vegas Film Festival, short film, directed by Joel Kelly, it's called Denial and it's a story, short film, 35 mm short film and it's about a man's struggle to choose between the woman of his dreams and his reality, so it's definitely different than Superman. So I'm really proud of that.” MenWellsKindDifferentStoriesDreamRealityActionFilmTalkingStruggleListeningProudDenialFestivalsVegasShort FilmsFilm FestivalsTalking And Listening Author:Brandon Routh
“Socially, hip-hop has done more for racial camaraderie in this country than any one thing. 'Cause guys like me, my kids - everyone under 45 either grew up loving hip-hop or hating hip-hop, but everyone under 45 grew up very aware of hip-hop. So when you're a white kid and you're listening to this music and you're being exposed to it every day on MTV, black people become less frightening. This is just a reality. What hip-hop has done bringing people together is enormous.” PeopleCountryDoneRealityKidsTogetherGuyHateCausesBlackWhiteOne ThingListeningGrewGrew UpHip HopEnormousLike MeHipsHopsBlack PeopleExposedFrighteningMtvCamaraderie Author:Michael Rapaport
“When you are influential and highly respected, people tend to tell you what you want to hear, not what you need to hear. They are seeking your approval, or they flatter you. Unfortunately, this creates a gap between what you hear and reality. If you find yourself in that situation, you will need to work extra hard to get the people close to you to speak honestly into your life. And you will have to become highly intentional in observing and listening.” PeopleIfsWantNeedsHardRealitySpeakSituationListeningSeekingWhat You WantHonestlyExtrasFinding YourselfGapsApprovalObservingInfluential Author:John C.

“I actually do see rock and roll as pop music. I think the distinction I was making was that I was going out of my way to have a very consistent approach to production, where nothing kind of punctures the reality - or, I guess, the fake reality - of the album and what you're listening to from beginning to end.” ThinkingWayKindEndsRealityRocksListeningApproachAlbumsProductionsPopsMy WayFakeDistinctionConsistentGoing OutRock And RollPop MusicPuncture Author:Dan Bejar
“I just always wanted a platform. In the past, I always dreamed of having a following and a fan base - you know, a group of people just listening and paying attention to what I was making. I think the reality kicked in that you have to make a living so that you have enough time to keep creating, you know? 'Cause if you're not making a living at this, then you're making a living working another job, and if you're working another job, you're spending all your time doing that and can't put enough time into the music.” PeopleIfsThinkingKnowsEnoughRealityWantedJobsPastCausesAttentionGroupsFansListeningCreatingFollowingSpendingPay AttentionPlatformsEnough TimeJust ListenMaking A Living Author:G-Eazy
“We must all acknowledge our unconscious biases, and listen with less bias when women, and others who are marginalized, speak out. A lot of change is possible by just acknowledging unconscious bias - that exhaustively documented but unpleasant reality many would rather ignore - and listening with less bias and acting on what we then learn.” RealitySpeakActingListeningAcknowledgeUnconsciousBias Author:Tara Moss
“When we think of training ourselves in godliness, we usually think of the traditional spiritual disciplines, but it can also be practical activities like taking a nature walk or listening to music - whatever helps us draw closer to God. God hardwired our brains and bodies in such a way that spiritual training, combined with God's work in us, has the very real effect of making us more attuned to spiritual reality and our true identity in Christ.” ThinkingRealHelpingRealitySpiritualChristBrainIdentityListeningDisciplineTrainingListening To MusicGodliness Author:Kenneth Boa
