“I am a very good archer. I use archery as my way of meditation. I cannot sit down and just meditate in the classical sense. I am very active. So, I use archery. I have my bow, my arrow and I use this tension and relaxation in the second after throwing the arrow. And it is my way to meditate and this is the only thing that clears my mind. When I do archery, I am totally there with my bow, my target, my arrow, and I don't think, I am communion with the universe.” ThinkingWayMindUseUniverseMeditationDown AndVery GoodActiveMy WayTensionTargetThrowingBowsCommunionRelaxationArrowsArcherArchery Author:Paulo Coelho
“Here is God's purpose - For God, to me, it seems, is a verb not a noun, proper or improper; is the articulation not the art, objective or subjective; is loving, not the abstraction "love" commanded or entreated; is knowledge dynamic, not legislative code, not proclamation law, not academic dogma, not ecclesiastic canon. Yes, God is a verb, the most active, connoting the vast harmonic reordering of the universe from unleashed chaos of energy.” ArtSeemsLawPurposeUniverseEnergyChaosActiveObjectivesCodeAcademicDogmaAbstractionSubjectiveVerbsNounsProclamationUnleashedCanonArticulation Book:No More Secondhand God Source: No More Secondhand God
