Wie denk jij dat je bent? Jij bent de ander.
Als je kwaad wordt op je zoon of je dochter, ben je in feite kwaad op jezelf. Je hebt het bij het verkeerde eind als je denkt dat je zoon of dochter niet jou is.
Je zoon - dat ben jij. Je dochter - dat ben jij.
Genetisch, fysiologisch, wetenschappelijk zijn je zoon en je dochter een voortzetting van jouzelf. Dat is de feitelijke waarheid.
Wie is je moeder? Je moeder - dat ben jij.
Jij bent als nakomeling haar voortzetting en zij is als (voor)ouder de voortzetting van jou. Zij is de schakel tussen jou en allen die aan jou vooraf zijn gegaan en jij bent de schakel tussen haar en alle generaties die nog komen zullen. Jullie behoren tot dezelfde levensstroom. Denken dat zij een heel verschillende entiteit is, denken dat je niets met haar te maken hebt, is louter onwetendheid.

The ego says, ‘I shouldn’t have to suffer,’
and that thought makes you suffer so much more.
It is a distortion of the truth,
which is always paradoxical.
The truth is that you need to say yes to suffering
before you can transcend it.

Water does not resist. Water flows.
When you
plunge your hand into it, all you feel is a caress.
Water is not a solid
wall, it will not stop you.
But water always goes where it wants to go,
and nothing in the end can stand against it.
Water is patient.
Dripping
water wears away a stone.
Remember that, my child.
Remember you are
half water.
If you can’t go through an obstacle, go around it.
Water
does.

Je moet de waarheid onder ogen zien, dat is waar.
Maar toch moet je zelf uitvinden wat die waarheid eigenlijk is
en er niet minder van maken, maar ook niet meer.
Je moet niet slachtoffer worden van een naam, een begrip,
een idee dat de mensen hebben dat je daarom zelf ook hebt.
Je moet kijken naar wat er werkelijk is.

WE FIND BY LOSING.
We hold fast by letting go.
We become something new by ceasing to be something old.
This seems to be close to the heart of that mystery.
I know no more now than I ever did about the far side of death
as the last letting-go of all,
but I begin to know that I do not need to know
and that I do not need to be afraid of not knowing.
God knows.
That is all that matters.

Time ain't nothing
When you're young at heart
And your soul still burns
I've seen rainy days
Sunshine that never fades
All through the night

If
it feels good, we can simply enjoy it.
If it feels bad, we can learn and grow from it
If it feels bad, we can learn and grow from it
- and perhaps help others as a result.
Whatever
happens, all is well.
Any negative emotion is an
opportunity to grow.
It is to be welcomed...
It is to be welcomed...
It is a sign
from our deep Self that there is work to be done,
that we are not
currently aligned with our desires.
We need to choose new thoughts that
move us into more positive emotions
- beyond fear, beyond
judgement...
...If we reach inner peace, we are attracting what we
want much more easily.

Control your moods
“I don’t feel like doing anything today.
I am in a bad mood.
Just leave me alone.”
Disciplined people submit their emotions to wisdom.
They say,
“These are my feelings, but I don’t live by my feelings.
I may have moods, but they don’t dictate my actions.
I am going to do exactly what I would do if I felt better.”
You will enjoy your day more when you discipline yourself
to do what you believe,
instead of what you feel.

Sit as if you were a mountain,
with all its unshakable, steadfast majesty.
A mountain is completely relaxed and at ease with itself,
however strong the winds that batter it,
however thick the dark clouds that swirl around its peak.
Sitting like a mountain,
let your mind rise and fly and soar.

You do not need to take other people’s pain and suffering into
your heart.
This world is filled with enough suffering without trying to spread it.
Rather, touch the pain and suffering you find and meet it with with love and spaciousness.
That is what we call compassion.

You don’t ever have to feel guilty about removing
toxic people from your life. It doesn’t matter whether someone is a
relative, romantic interest, employer, childhood friend, or a new
acquaintance — you don’t have to make room for people who cause you pain
or make you feel small. It’s one thing if a person owns up to their
behavior and makes an effort to change. But if a person disregards your
feelings, ignores your boundaries, and continues to treat you in a
harmful way, they need to go.

Comes A Time - Neil Young
COMES A TIME
Comes a time when you're driftin'
Comes a time when you settle down
Comes a light feelin's liftin'
Lift that baby right up off the ground.
Oh, this old world keeps spinning round
It's a wonder tall trees ain't layin' down
There comes a time.
You and I we were captured
We took our souls and we flew away
We were right we were giving
That's how we kept what we gave away.
Oh, this old world keeps spinning round
It's a wonder tall trees ain't layin' down
There comes a time.

February almost March bites the cold.
Take down a book, wind pours in…
Winter’s after me—she’s out
with sheets so white it hurts the eyes…
