You are a perfect spiritual being. Get used to that idea.

At one moment, his eyes sparkled in the light and in the next they were enshrouded in shadow. What connected those bands of light and dark? Could they indeed have been distinct entities?

Light and Dark: each was unaware that the other existed.

The Light yearns for the peaceful balance of the Darkness as much as Darkness seeks the Glory of the Light.

Reality is non-directional, layered, and potential- all things at once and non-real in the sense that real is an unknown, so "real" is undefined and can not be experienced. Only your experience can be experienced, and that does not encompass everything or anything.

Every hour of your life that ticks by, there are numerous points and moments when you can choose to pause - and be aware of your mental and physical state. At any given point, you can freeze the flow that is your life, and be fully conscious for a moment.

The Time (T) and Energy (E) we invest in others, people will take it and carry it with them.

The metaphysicians of Tlön are not looking for truth, nor even for an approximation of it; they are after a kind of amazement.

As to the gods, I have no means of knowing either that they exist or do not exist. For many are the obstacles that impede knowledge, both the obscurity of the question and the shortness of human life.

We live in a thought-suggestive Universe. The sky__ the limit. Believe and you__l receive.

If I were to make a list of focus for well-being, I would begin with lifestyle (the totality of one__ circumstance and how that is engaged, including job and relationships, and proximity to nature), attending to the physical functions correctly (posture, breathing, exercise, food, rest, etc.), consistent expression of your natural range of qualities, working and playing well and hard, and designing things so that you are doing what compels you. Obviously, you can__ give this list out as a prescription for physical problems and diseases, but then again, it is probably the correct prescription. If one were to follow it, any specific problem, even extreme, would almost certainly resolve itself.

The subjective experience of intense pain (__hat__ all I can take_) corresponds exactly to one__ subjective experience in relation to truth (__hat__ all I can take_).

It__ highly refined stuff__olding to one__ purpose and focus, but also intuiting the value of being a piece in a larger design and evolution. The balance between these two rhythms is where and when true harmony is achieved and magic happens. Often, just the release of the obsession for personal preferences and to personally gain opens the door.

No one will improve his health significantly without accurately perceiving priorities, knowing clearly what is at stake if those are not attended to and what is to be gained if acted on correctly. That__ the basic homework before any change can come about. Then that knowledge has to be transformed into a sustainable motivation.

If you__e ignoring a high percentage of the elements of your entire being, and the range of qualities they can naturally engage, there will be no real recovery or progress until you do. The typical relentless worker is just as lazy as the typical indulgent idler; they__e both just going through the habitual motions. To break the repetitive pattern, and discover more energy and effectiveness, one simply must stretch out in all directions, rotating focus and application of the qualities that make up one__ natural versatility.

True balance, and harmony, necessitates finding a way to override the addictive, reactive emotions that are the fabric of one__ subjective illusion, and discover emotions that correspond to actuality.

I look at the idea of rest as rotating one__ qualitative focus, not just doing less or changing activity. The role of rest is recovery. If you keep pushing the same quality button (fast or slow, concentrated or dispersed, hard-working or lazy_) for the same component all the time, of course it__ going to become depleted, just like if you keep working a single muscle in the same fashion or don__ use it at all.

The essential dynamic underlying almost every elite and esoteric physical art is work with the breath, so there__ information available. I would only add that it__ unfortunate that so much work is done with it, and not much play. Laughter has got to be the single healthiest activity one can perform. Just think how healthy you would be if you could sincerely laugh at that which now oppresses you. I__e mentioned before that one good measure of someone__ depth of spirituality is how long it takes before they become offended. Imagine laughing hysterically at the criticisms, complaints and impositions you receive. At the least, you__ be breathing well.
