“To awaken to the absolute view is profound and transformative, but to awaken from all fixed points of view is the birth of true non-duality. If emptiness cannot dance, it is not true emptiness. If moonlight does not flood the empty night sky and reflect in every drop of water, on every blade of grass, then you are only looking at your own empty dream.” IfsDoeDreamNightWaterViewsVisionSkyBirthEmptyAbsolutesProfoundPoint Of ViewGrassFixedEmptinessFloodBladesMoonlightDualityNight SkyDrop Of WaterBlades Of Grass Author:Adyashanti

“Fish in the water represent pure potential. If the water is not clear, we do not know if they exist at all. To get them to bite something connected to a line and pull them into our world is managing a birth that brings these creatures from the realm of mysytery into the world of reality.

“One may decide that the nipple most nearly resembles a newly ripened raspberry (never, be it noted, the plonk of water on a pond at the commencement of a drizzle, a simple bladder nozzle built on the suction principal gum bubble, mole, or birth ward, bumpy metal button, or the painful red eruption of a swelling), but does one care to see his breakfast fruit as a sweetened milky bowl of snipped nips? no.” MayDoeBodyCareWaterSimpleBirthBuiltRedFruitPainfulBreastsBreakfastMetalsBubblesBowlsPrincipalButtonsPondsGumCommencementMolesSwellingNipplesEruptionBladderRaspberriesDrizzle Author:William H.

“In this uncertain space between birth and death, especially here at the end of the world in Moonlight Bay, we need hope as surely as we need food and water, love and friendship. The trick, however, is to remember that hope is a perilous thing, that it's not a steel and concrete bridge across the void between this moment and a brighter future. Hope is no stronger than tremulous beads of dew strung on a filament of spider web, and it alone can't long support the terrible weight of an anguished mind and a tortured heart.” WorldNeedsMindHeartLongEndsMomentsRememberWaterSpaceSupportBirthTerribleWeightStrongerTricksBridgesVoidConcreteUncertainSteelSpidersEnd Of The WorldMoonlightBrighterDewSpace BetweenLove And FriendshipBeadsBirth And DeathSpider WebBrighter Future Book:Seize the Night: A Novel Source: Seize the Night: A Novel
“Ancient traditions have long associated holy wells and springs as very special places of the Goddess or anima mundi: symbolic of the Great Mother and associated with birth, the feminine principle, the universal womb, the prima materia, the waters of fertility and refreshment and the fountain of life. The dreaming sites, as they are called, have also been associated with visions, healing, and other paranormal experiences. In ancient Greece, for example, there were more than three-hundred medical centers placed at water sources, where patients experienced healing.” LifeWellsLongDreamMotherThreeWaterHealingVisionPrinciplesSpecialExampleSourceBirthHolySpringHundredRainTraditionRiversUniversalPatientAncientMedicalParanormalFeminineGoddessSiteFountainWombGreeceSymbolicSpecial PlacesFertilityAncient GreeceRefreshmentsGreat Mother Author:Christopher McDowell
