"All that appears and happens about and around us is uncertain, transient. But there is a Supreme..."

“All that appears and happens about and around us is uncertain, transient. But there is a Supreme Being hidden therein as a Certainty, and one would be blessed if one could catch a glimpse of that Certainty and hitch one’s waggon to it. The quest for that Truth is the smmum bonum of life.”

Starlight and Non-Being

Starlight asked Non-Being: “Master, are you? Or are you not?”
Since he received no answer whatever, Starlight set himself to watch for Non-Being.
He waited to see if Non-Being would put in an appearance.
He kept his gaze fixed on the deep Void, hoping to catch a glimpse of Non-Being.
All day long he looked, and he saw nothing. He listened, but heard nothing.
He reached out to grasp, and grasped nothing.
Then Starlight exclaimed at last: “This is IT!”
“This is the furthest yet! Who can reach it?
I can comprehend the absence of Being
But who can comprehend the absence of Nothing?
If now, on top of all this, Non-Being IS,
Who can comprehend it?”

”

Live, you say, in the Present Live, you say, in the present;Live only in the present. But I...

Live, you say, in the Present

Live, you say, in the present;
Live only in the present.

But I don’t want the present, I want reality;
I want existent things, not the time which measures things.

What is the present?
It’s something relative to the past and the future.
It’s something that exists by the virtue of the other things existing.
I only want reality, things without time present.

I don’t want to include time in my scheme.
I don’t want to think of things as time bound; I want to think
of them as things present.

I shouldn’t even threat them as real things.
I shouldn’t treat them as anything.
I should see them, just see them,
See them, without time or space,
See, and be able to put aside all but the seeable.
This is the science of perception, which is no science at all.

- Fernando Pessoa (Portugal, 1888-1935)

"Destroy ‘the ego’, Hound it, beat it, snub it, Tell it where it gets off, Great fun, no..."

“

Destroy ‘the ego’,
Hound it, beat it, snub it,
Tell it where it gets off,
Great fun, no doubt.
But where is it?
Must you not find it first?
Isn’t there a word about
Catching your goose
before you can cook it?

The great difficulty here is
that there isn’t one.

"You see, dear reader (speaking frankly, without any intention to offend), you are a ramshackle..."

Thu, 04 Nov 2010 15:53:16 -0400

“You see, dear reader (speaking frankly, without any intention to offend), you are a ramshackle collection of coincidences held together by a desperate and irrational clinging, there is no center at all, everything depends on everything else, your body depends on the environment, your thoughts depend on whatever junk floats in from the media, your emotions are largely from the reptilian end of your DNA, your intellect is a chemical computer that can’t add up a zillionth as fast as a pocket calculator, and even your best side is a superficial piece of social programming that will fall apart just as soon as your spouse leaves with the kids and the money in the joint account, or the economy starts to fail and you get the sack, or you get conscripted into some idiot’s war, or they give you the news about your brain tumor. To name this amorphous morass of self-pity, vanity, and despair SELF is not only the height of hubris, it is also proof that we are above all a delusional species. (We are in a trance from birth to death.) Prick the balloon, and what do you get? Emptiness. It is not only us - this radical doctrine applies to the whole of the sentient world.
In a bumper sticker:
The fear of letting go prevents you from letting go of the fear of letting go”
