Helping you help yourself Wake Up!

"Don’t dream your life.
Live your dream."

Apparently this skeleton was found in this position! I would love to spend a day just experiencing his presence. It’s one thing to see a skeleton lying down but seeing one in a meditation posture would be really cool and helpful in remembrance of Self.

(via philosophia-perennis)

"Break the old pattern of present moment denial and present moment resistance. Make it your practice to withdraw attention from past and future whenever they are not needed."

— Oneness With All Life

"There is a secret One inside
All the stars and all the galaxies
Run through her hands like beads"

— DUP

The Fruition of Meditation Is:

Noticing my mind and constantly integrating old patterns of thought and feeling into my current, mindful state of being.

"I have a habit of falling in love with souls who have yet to be at peace with their bodies, their minds, their weaknesses. I try to build them, to find the parts of them that are missing in me.
I end up with holes in my chest."

— Farah Gabdon (via a-sensible-heart)

"Thus ego tries to examine and imitate the practice of meditation and the meditative way of life. When we have learned all the tricks and answers of the spiritual game, we automatically try to imitate spirituality, since real involvement would require the complete elimination of ego, and actually the last thing we want to do is to give up the ego completely."

— Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche in Cutting Through Spiritual Materialism

One being loving through many eyes. This is the true nature of you and I.

Relaxing into the pain created a space where I was intimately connected with my body, listening expectantly to its needs. I felt very close to my body as a unified organism, a beautiful organic tool willing to give itself to me completely. My body truly is a martyr, but with a beautiful ending that never ends. The cells that sustain my life here, now, will soon enough return to the earth to offer their energies to other expressions of consciousness. No ending and no beginning. All fades in and out of itself forever.

"No story is the same to us after a lapse of time; or rather we who read it are no longer the same interpreters."

— George Eliot

"We have a fear of facing ourselves. That is the obstacle. Experiencing the innermost core of our existence is very embarrassing to a lot of people. A lot of people turn to something that they hope will liberate them without their having to face themselves. That is impossible. We can’t do that. We have to be honest with ourselves. We have to see our gut, our excrement, our most undesirable parts."

— Chogyam Tungpa Rinpoche
