“Sometimes people are beautiful.
Not in looks.
Not in what they say.
Just in what they are.”
Markus Zusak

Stuck in the illusion (Byron Katie)

When we believe our thoughts, we stay stuck in the illusion of a limited world.

Agent of universal synthesis

...love, in fact, is the agent of universal synthesis.

Pierre Teilhard De Chardin said that, and he was right.
It is the energy that ties everything together...and
everything falls apart without it.

If your own life is "falling apart" at some level, maybe it's time to add some love. But don't wait to receive it.
Act like you can't wait to give it.

Smother life with love and watch everything come together again!

Kirlian aura photography

 

Kirlian photo of a Coleus leaf from Wikipedia

    In 1939, two Czechs, S. Pratt and J. Schlemmer published photographs showing a glow around leaves. The same year, Russian electrical engineer Semyon Kirlian and his wife Valentina developed Kirlian photography after observing a patient in Krasnodar hospital who was receiving medical treatment from a high-frequency electrical generator. They had noticed that when the electrodes were brought near the patient's skin, there was a glow similar to that of a neon discharge tube.
    The Kirlians conducted experiments in which photographic film was placed on top of a conducting plate, and another conductor was attached to a hand, a leaf or other plant material. The conductors were energized by a high-frequency high-voltage power source, producing photographic images typically showing a silhouette of the object surrounded by an aura of light.
    In 1958, the Kirlians reported the results of their experiments for the first time. Their work was virtually unknown until 1970, when two Americans, Lynn Schroeder and Sheila Ostrander, published a book, Psychic Discoveries Behind the Iron Curtain. High-voltage electrophotography soon became known to the general public as Kirlian photography. Although little interest was generated among western scientists, Russians held a conference on the subject in 1972 at Kazakh State University.   
   Kirlian photography was used in the former Eastern Bloc in the 1970s. The corona discharge glow at the surface of an object subjected to a high-voltage electrical field was referred to as a "Kirlian aura" in Russia and Eastern Europe.

  Kirlian proposed and promoted the idea that the resulting images of living objects were a physical proof of the life force or aura which allegedly surrounds all living beings. This claim was said to be supported by experiments by the Kirlians that involved cutting part of a leaf off - the Kirlian images of such leaves, it was said, still showed the leaves as whole, as though the cutting had never happened.

   Researchers at Drexel University, however, have claimed that they were unable to reproduce the effect when the glass used to capture the original leaf was replaced with new glass before the freshly cut leaf was photographed, leading them to conclude that the "cut leaf" phenomenon was caused by microscopic etching in the surface of the glass which occurred during preparing the images of the uncut leaf. They also reported on a number of demonstrable causes such as surface moisture and pressure which can account for much of the variations in color, shape, and size of the resulting image.

No man is hurt but by himself

Diogenes said that, and he was right. Every person's

experience is created internally, by him or herself. No

one outside of you can tell you what anything means,

or whether you are "hurt" or not.

If you feel hurt by something or someone, it is the result

of your decision to feel that way. This may be tough to

hear, but it is true. You can change your mind at any

moment about how something is affecting you.

Coincidence

“Coincidences mean you're on the right path."

Simon Van Booy, Love Begins in Winter: Five Stories

Freedom is Who You Are

Dharma comics

'Freedom' is but another word for 'God.' It has been

difficult to find words in human language to describe

That Which God Is, but 'Freedom' is one of them.

Another word to describe God is...You.

You and God are One. Therefore you, too, are Free.

Free to make choices, free to select your reactions

and responses to life, free to be your authentic Self.

The perfectionism is the enemy of creation

John Updike said that, and he was right. He understood
that nothing stops the forward march of any creative
endeavor like the need to do it absolutely perfectly.

And who is to judge what is 'perfect' anyway? What I
have judged full of flaws so many others have called
terrific. Maybe the definition of Perfection is something
that actually gets done.

Love,  Your Friend: Neale

Coincidence and God

Coincidence is God's way of remaining anonymous.

When You See me cry...

Dharmacomics

When You See me cry,  Don’t try to stop me    Or fix me    Or change me    Or help me. If you’re moved to hold me  Or sit with me,  Touch me or hand me a tissue, Do! But don’t worry about me Or assume something is wrong,  When you see me cry. When you see my me cry, You are watching the ice inside me melt The hard places, the stuck places, the cold places,  Warmed from the inside by my own heart. My tears are one of love’s favorite faces.  When you see me cry You can smile if you want to, You can relax, you can breathe, you can be with me in my release.  You can feel whatever you feel,  When you see me cry; We just might melt together.  For more please visit:  Dharmacomics

The best argument

Photo: Femina.hu

... you can make is no argumentat all.

  

Do not argue with life, or with anyone in life. Life

presents itself perfectly in every moment, and every

person believes his or her point of view to be valid

and 'right.'

Arguing with any of this is pointless, and a terrific

waste of energy. Simply create what you choose next.
