Compassion
"The beautiful thing about compassion is that when it spontaneously arises in you, an inner door opens into an experience of love, which is a part of our fundamental reality....When the inner door opens, it becomes effortless to reach out and connectwith others. This is why the greatest antidote to insecurity and sense of fear is compassion. It brings one back to the basis of one's inner strength. A truly compassionate person embodies a carefree spirit
of fearlessness,born of the freedom from egoistic self concern." ~The Dalai Lama
10 Things Christian
10 things about Christianity that Jesus would not be happy about if he returned:
1. That his vision for a transformed society, got twisted into an afterlife fantasy about heaven.
2. That a religion was formed to worship his name, instead of a movement to advance his message.
3. That the gospel says his death solved the problem of humankind's separation from God, instead of accepting that his life revealed the truth that there is no separation from God.
4. That the religion bearing his name was conceived by the theories and doctrines of Paul, instead of the truth Jesus lived and demonstrated.
5. That he was said to exclusively be God in the flesh, putting his example out of reach, rather than teaching that we all share in the same spirit that empowered his character and life.
6. That the religion that claims his name, teaches that his wisdom and teachings are the only legitimate way to know truth and God.
7. The idea that humankind stands condemned before God and deserving of Divine wrath and eternal conscious judgement, requiring the death of Jesus to fix it.
8. That people are waiting on Jesus to return to save the world and end suffering, rather than taking responsibility for saving the world and solving suffering ourselves.
9. That people think there is magical potency in uttering the name of Jesus, rather than accessing our own natural powers and capabilities to effect change.
10. That people have come to associate Jesus with church, theology, politics and power, rather than courage, justice, humanity, beauty and love.

Still water
“When water is still it is like a mirror…
And if water thus derives lucidity from stillness
how much more the faculties of mind?
The mind of the sage in repose
becomes the mirror
of the universe."

Reigion is cancer
ABOUT THE VATICAN HARLOT -.
In 325, at the Council of Nicaea, Constantine the Great created the Catholic Church after a genocide of 45,000 Jews.
At the same time the religious books of all the villages of the empire are collected and thus create the Bible.
In 327, Constantine known as the emperor of Rome, orders Jerome to translate the Vulgate version into Latin, changing the Hebrew proper names for pagan names such as Jehovah and Jesus and thus adulterating the scriptures.
In 431, the cult of the Virgin Mary is invented.
In 594, Purgatory is invented.
In 610, the title of Pope is invented.
In 788, worship of pagan deities is imposed.
In 995, the meaning of kadosh (set apart) was changed to 'holy'.
In 1079, the 'celibacy' of the priests (totally Catholic word) is imposed.
In 1090, the prayer of the Rosary is imposed.
In 1184, the Inquisition is perpetrated.
In 1190, the so-called indulgences are sold.
In 1215, confession is imposed on priests.
In 1311, Baptism is imposed on children.
In 1439, the nonexistent Purgatory is dogmatized.
In 1854, the Immaculate Conception was invented.
In 1870, the idea that the pope is infallible prevails.
There are more than 2500 things invented by this religion to enslave the human being with Christianity.
The Catholic religion and its infinity of saints were created as a means of manipulation and business. It is a duty to make the truth known and the truth will set you free.

The land has everything.
"The land has everything it needs, but it couldn't speak. It couldn't express itself. Tell it's identity. And so it grew a tongue. That is the Yolnu. That is me. We are the tongue of te land. Grown by the land so it can sing who it is. We exist so we can paint the land." Djambawa Marawili, Yolnu Elder, Australia's Northern Territory.
Luminous Beings
We are luminoius beings. We are perceivers
We are awareness. We are not objects.
We have no solidity. We are boundless.
The world of objects and solidity
is a way of making our passage on Earth convenient.
It is only a description that was created to help us.
We, or rather our reasons, forget that the description is only a description,
and thus we entrap the totality of ourselves in a vicious circle
from which we rarely emerge in a lifetime.
We are perceivers. The world that we perceive is an illusion.
It was created by a description that was told to us
since the moment we were born.
~Don Juan Matus

But, they're looking for Orcas
to the top of the mountains.
They can search as much as they like, but it won't be found anywhere other than inside
that which is doing the searching."

Liquidating people
“To liquidate peoples you start by depriving them of memory. They destroy your books, your culture, your history. And someone else writes other books, gives them another culture, makes up another history; after that, people slowly begin to forget who they are and who they were. And the world around you forgets even faster."
--Milan Kundera

𝐎𝐥𝐝 𝐇𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐖𝐢𝐬𝐝𝐨𝐦:
Your fences need to be horse-high, pig-tight and bull-strong.
Keep skunks, bankers, and politicians at a distance.
Life is simpler when you plow around the stump.
A bumble bee is considerably faster than a John Deere tractor.
Words that soak into your ears are whispered, not yelled.
The best sermons are lived, not preached.
If you don't take the time to do it right, you'll find the time to do it twice.
Don't corner something that is meaner than you.
Don’t pick a fight with an old man. If he is too old to fight, he’ll just kill you.
It don’t take a very big person to carry a grudge.
You cannot unsay a cruel word.
Every path has a few puddles.
When you wallow with pigs, expect to get dirty.
Don't be banging your shin on a stool that's not in the way.
Borrowing trouble from the future doesn't deplete the supply.
Most of the stuff people worry about ain’t never gonna happen anyway.
Don’t judge folks by their relatives.
Silence is sometimes the best answer.
Don‘t interfere with somethin’ that ain’t botherin' you none.
Timing has a lot to do with the outcome of a rain dance.
If you find yourself in a hole, the first thing to do is stop diggin’.
Sometimes you get, and sometimes you get got.
The biggest troublemaker you’ll ever have to deal with watches you from the mirror every mornin’.
Always drink upstream from the herd.
Good judgment comes from experience, and most of that comes from bad judgment.
Lettin’ the cat outta the bag is a whole lot easier than puttin’ it back in.
If you get to thinkin’ you’re a person of some influence, try orderin’ somebody else’s dog around.
Live a good, honorable life. Then when you get older and think back, you’ll enjoy it a second time.
Live simply. Love generously. Care deeply. Speak kindly. Leave the rest to God.
Most times, it just gets down to common sense.
