Ageless, Timeless

Every sub-atomic particle in your body condensed out of the primordial energy of the first second of the Universe, 13.7 billion years ago.

You look pretty perky for your age. What energy you have!

Silent Space

There's a great space in which this moment takes place.
There's a great silence that is listening to the thoughts.

Awesome

"All we can say for certain is that 13.7 billion years ago something happened and we don't exactly know what."

Neil Turock, Cosmologist

"Something unknown is doing something we don't understand."

One Moment. Still.

A true understanding of time allows you to live much more peacefully within your reality of relativity, where time is experienced as a movement, a flow, rather than a constant.

It is you who are moving, not time. Time has no movement. There is only One Moment.

At some level you deeply understand this. That is why, when something really magnificent or significant occurs in your life, you often say it is as if "time stands still."

It does. And when you do also, you often experience one of those life-defining moments.

Conversations With God, Book 2
Neale Donald Walsch

Wonder-er

People travel to wonder at the height of mountains, at the huge waves of the sea, at the long courses of rivers, at the vast compass of the ocean, at the circular motion of the stars; and they pass by themselves without wondering.

St. Augustine

Divine Sculpture

Should you shield the canyons from the windstorms, you would never see the beauty of their carvings.

Dr. Elisabeth Kübler-Ross


Likewise with human suffering. 

True Strength

I am beneath or above no one. When I am independent of the good or bad opinion of others, I stand strong in my own divine power.

Said the self-righteous preacher, "What, in your judgment, is the greatest sin in the world?"

"That of the person who sees other human beings as sinners," said the Master.

Rise 'n' Shine

Spirituality means waking up. Most people, even though they don’t know it, are asleep. They’re born asleep, they live asleep, they marry in their sleep, they breed children in their sleep, they die in their sleep without ever waking up. They never understand the loveliness and the beauty of this thing that we call human existence. You know— all mystics— Catholic, Christian, non-Christian, no matter what their theology, no matter what their religion— are unanimous on one thing: that all is well, all is well. Though everything is a mess, all is well. Strange paradox, to be sure. But, tragically, most people never get to see that all is well because they are asleep. They are having a nightmare.

Anthony deMello

Know Thy Self

“The body is merely a garment.
Go seek the wearer, not the cloak.”
