Hagia Sophia

Psalm -I am like all mankind, awakening from all the dreams that ever word dreamed, and all the Knights of the world. It is like:

One Christ awakening
in all the separate cells
that ever were separate
and isolated
and alone
in all the lands of the Earth.
It is like all minds coming back together and awareness from all distractions, cross purposes, and confusions into unity of love.

- Thomas Merton

When your mind has overcome the confusion of duality, you will attain the state of holy indifference to the things you hear in things you have heard.

- Bhagavad Gita
‍

Blessed Are they which are persecuted for righteousness sake: for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven.
The will of God
For us is harmony, peace and joy
These things are to be attained
By cultivating right thoughts or righteousness.
When we give way to fear, or anger or despondency - then we are being persecuted for righteousness’ sake.

-Emmet Fox

It is easier to divide the light from the sun than it is to Separate Mary from Jesus.

-Saint Louis De Montfort

Always leave the key within my reach.

- Pope Francis

I'm so used to seeing the smile of our poor people, even the dying one’s smile.

- Mother Teresa

Let the son of God grow in thee,
For he is formed in thee.
Let him become immense in thee
and may he become an immense smile
and exultation and perfect joy.  

- Thomas Merton

Vacate et videte quanium ego sum deus.
-Empty yourself and know that I am God.

-Anonymous

The most deafening voice is our own. Desires, fears, anxieties and obsessive worries, a treadmill of thoughts, issuing from a constantly chattering mind.

- David Tomlins

The basic motivation for guarding the heart, and for watchfulness of thoughts, is to create an attitude and a capacity for cultivating:

-       Listening silence
-       Attentive listening
-       Expectant listening

One by one, he lifts each leaf, knowing his last treasure is in the leaves.

-Esther deWaal

If we look at human society, we see a place so difficult to live because it is ruled by fear. Fear is controlling the outside dream. Consider hell as a state of mind. We keep searching and searching, when everything is already within us. We have no eyes for this truth...

-Miguel Ruiz

A Double Rapture

Because there is no me
Because I feel
How much? There is no me

- Anna Swin

If you want what visible reality can give, you're an employee.
If you want the unseen world, you're not living your truth.
Both wishes are foolish, but you'll be forgiven for forgetting that what you want is love’s confusing joy.

- Rumi
