“The atoms or elementary particles themselves are not real; they form a world of potentialities or possibilities rather than one of things or facts.”
- Werner Heisenberg
Understanding and love aren’t two separate things, they’re just one. ~ Thich Nhat Hanh
The real sign of accomplishment is the decreasing of your afflictive emotions, and that your mind is becoming more peaceful. ~ Yangthang Rinpoche
The Golden Rule
The mind wants to land, to fixate, to hold a concept, but the only way you can be really free is by not fixating. That’s part of true maturity, and it’s one of the hardest things for spiritual people who have had true and powerful revelations to go through - to accept the degree of surrender needed to literally let go of all experience and all self-reference. Even in great revelations, there is almost always something that wants to claim, “I am this.” Every time you claim, “I am this”, you just claimed another sense perception, thought, emotion, or feeling.

“I like living. I have sometimes been wildly, despairingly, acutely miserable, racked with sorrow; but through it all I still know quite certainly that just to be alive is a grand thing.”
