“When you start your meditation, picture a beautiful blue sky without any clouds in it. Feel that your body is growing lighter. Visualize that you are floating in the sky and that all tension, fatigue, worry and problems have left you.” FeelsProblemBodyBeautifulLeftWorryMeditationGrowingSkyBlueCloudsYour BodyTensionFloatingFatigueVisualizationLightersBlue Sky Author:Frederick Lenz
“Speaking as somebody who's been in the drug scene, it's not something you can go on and on doing, you know. It's like drink, or anything, you've got to come to terms with it. You know, like too much food, or too much anything. You've got to get out of it. You're left with yourself all the time, whatever you do--you know, meditation, drugs or anything. But you've got to get down to your own god and your own temple in your head.” KnowsLeftTermToo MuchMeditationGoes OnDrinkSceneDrugTemplesDo You KnowKnow MeDoing You Author:John Lennon
“When you read a book, you generate beta waves irrespective of the book's content. But if you look up from it, and start watching TV - it doesn't matter what the content of the program is - the beta waves disappear and you start processing alpha and theta waves. These are the same waves that you generate during meditation. Reading is primarily left hemisphere and watching television is primarily right hemisphere. Now how could that not have a major effect on our culture?” IfsLooksBookMatterCultureReadingLeftMeditationEffectsTelevisionTvsMajorsProgramWaveDisappearLook UpProcessingHemisphereAlphasWatching TvWatching TelevisionBetaTheta Author:Leonard Shlain
“On the left is the realist tradition of the 19th century, with its impulse to social description, radical criticism and meditation on things as they are... culminating in Courbet at his mightiest (The Studio, The Funeral at Ornans and a portrait of a trout that has more death in it than Rubens could get in a whole Crucifixion).” WholeLeftSocialMeditationCenturyTraditionCriticismStudiosRadicalImpulseDescriptionFuneralPortraits19th CenturyRealistCrucifixionTroutRubens Author:Gustave Courbet

“I don't think I can put my finger exactly on when remission occurred, because from that moment on, I left Western medicine and never looked back.

“One thing: you have to walk, and create the way by your walking; you will not find a ready-made path. It is not so cheap, to reach to the ultimate realization of truth. You will have to create the path by walking yourself; the path is not ready-made, lying there and waiting for you. It is just like the sky: the birds fly, but they don't leave any footprints. You cannot follow them; there are no footprints left behind.” WayMadeLyingLeftWaitingWalksHealingBehindsPathMeditationOne ThingSkyReadyWalkingBirdEnlightenmentUltimateRealizationLeft BehindFootprintNot ReadyWaiting For YouPath To Enlightenment Author:Rajneesh
“The mountain has left me feeling renewed, more content and positive than I’ve been for weeks, as if something has been given back after a long absence, as if my eyes have opened once again. For this time at least, I’ve let myself be rooted in the unshakable sanity of the senses, spared my mind the burden of too much thinking, turned myself outward to experience the world and inward to savor the pleasures it has given me.” IfsThinkingWorldMindLongHas BeensFeelingsEyeLeftGivenPleasureToo MuchMeditationWeekMountainBurdenAbsenceSensesSanityRootedInwardUnshakable Author:Richard Nelson
“If one introspects and says with humility of heart: "I do not yet know the truth, but I have to find it" , then in time this humility may be rewarded and one may achieve one's ascent. If this happens, the persons attention comes into the center, neither on the left, nor on the right. That is, neither dominated by his conditionings from the past nor the orientations of his ambitious ego. Such a balanced person is very well suited for Self Realization, by which he will know the truth in its absolute form.” IfsKnowsLoveWellsHeartMayPersonsSelfWisdomHappensPastFormSpiritLeftAttentionMeditationAchieveHumilityEgoYogaAbsolutesSelf RealizationRealizationWellnessAmbitiousBalancedConditioningOrientationAscent Author:Nirmala Srivastava
“Meditation means to be constantly extricating yourself from the clinging of mind. By letting go of even the thought 'I,' and 'me' what is left? There is nowhere to stand and no one to stand there. No separation anywhere. Pure awareness. Neither this, nor that. Just clarity and being.” MindMeanLeftMeditationAwarenessPureLetting GoSeparationClarityBeing MeClinging Author:Ram Dass
