I'm finally reading Dune. This quote, which is in the first few pages, hits hard:
"Once men turned their thinking over to machines in the hope that this would set them free. But that only permitted other men with machines to enslave them."
JUST IN: 80-year-old woman with advanced Alzheimer’s reportedly briefly regained speech, bladder control, & memory after taking psilocybin mushrooms.
See the god in everyone
Everyone leaves out no-one
And everything besides love is cowardice
You wanna be brave, you wanna be tough?
Peace and love is the toughest, hardest thing you can do
Always remember that love is an absolute and eternal energy. It is our source and our true nature. Thus the remarkable consistency of messages received from departed loved ones: “Do not grieve so much for me. I am still here, I am always with you, and I will love you forever.”
Based on everything I’ve seen, a simple recipe can work: focus on what’s in front of you, design great days to create a great life, and try not to make the same mistake twice. That’s it. If you really want extra credit, try not to be a dick, and you’ll be a Voltron-level superstar.
The secret to winning any game lies in not trying too hard.
Feeling as though you are trying too hard indicates that your priorities, technique, focus, or mindfulness is off. Take it as a cue to reset, not to double down. And take comfort in the fact that, whenever in doubt, the answer is probably hidden in plain sight.
What would this look like if it were easy?
In a world where nobody really knows anything, you have the incredible freedom to continually reinvent yourself and forge new paths, no matter how strange.
Embrace your weird self.
There is no one right answer . . . only better questions.
On our soul’s journey home to a state of infinite love and wisdom, a journey filled with mystery and miracles, we rest, recuperate, and reflect in between lifetimes until it is time to incarnate again, in a new body. There is only one home and eventually we will all return there.
