When you have an emotional reaction to what you see, you are judging.
That is your signal that you have an issue inside of yourself - with yourself - not with the other person.

If you react to evil, look inside yourself for the very thing that so agitates you, and you will find it.

If it were not there, you will simply discern, act appropriately, and move on.

We all have a social mask, right?

We put it on, we go out, put our best foot forward, our best image. 
But behind that social mask is a personal truth, 
what we really, really believe about who we are 
and what we're capable of.

Verwar je leven niet met 

gedachten over je leven 

- Ann -

Als van ver zien we bladeren vallen,

vallen als vanuit een tuin die ver weg in de hemelen is;

zij vallen en in dit vallen laten zij alles los. 

En in de nacht valt ook de drukkende aarde 

naar omlaag langs de sterren in eenzaamheid.

Wij vallen allen. Ook deze hand hier valt, 

niemand kan eraan ontsnappen: het is in allen. 

Toch is er één die al dit vallen 

oneindig teder in zijn handen houdt. 

- Rainer Maria Rilke -

Breathing is our most intimate ally. 

It is with us always whether we feel agitated or at ease… because it is always happening now. 

We cannot breathe for yesterday or anticipate how we will breathe one hour from now. 

It is only now that we can be with the breath.

It is a doorway into being intimate with the moment as it is.

The trouble is if you don’t spend your life yourself, 

 

other people spend it for you.

We zijn verzot op onze problemen.

Waarom zouden we ze anders
zoveel aandacht geven?.....

Pas wanneer je leert te luisteren om te begrijpen,
in plaats van te luisteren om te reageren,
ontstaat er echt contact.

“The things you think are the disasters in your life are not the disasters really.
Almost anything can be turned around: out of every ditch, a path, if you can only see it.”

 “Those who are made can be unmade.”
