Develop the witness attitude and you will find in your own experience that detachment brings control. The state of witnessing is full of power, there is nothing passive about it.

— Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj (via lazyyogi)

Love the animals, love the plants, love everything. If you love everything, you will perceive the divine mystery in things. Once you perceive it, you will begin to comprehend it better every day. And you will come at last to love the whole world with an all-embracing love.

— Fyodor Dostoyevsky (via meditationsinwonderland)

The only reason we don’t open our hearts and minds to other people is that they trigger confusion in us that we don’t feel brave enough or sane enough to deal with. To the degree that we look clearly and compassionately at ourselves, we feel confident and fearless about looking into someone else’s eyes.

— Pema Chodron (via lazyyogi)

There are some people who could hear you speak a thousand words and still not understand you. And there are others who will understand without you even speaking a word.

— Yasmin Mogahed (via acideyedrops)

mentalalchemy:

Your third eye acts as a way to see into the non-physical reality that we are apart of and co-exist alongside of. Humans are points of consciousness, manifested into physical dimensions. All that we do, feel, think, dream of, envision, act on, etc. have ripples of energy attached. It’s up to you, how you use this knowledge. Om

My imagination gave me a dual life: I lived in my body, and at the same time lived a life no one could see.
