“The only way to experience truth directly is to look within, to observe oneself. All our lives we have been accustomed to look outward. We have always been interested in what is happening outside, what others are doing. We have rarely, if ever, tried to examine ourselves, our own mental and physical structure, our own actions, our own reality. Therefore we remain unknown to ourselves. We do not realize how harmful this ignorance is, how much we remain the slaves of forces within ourselves of which we are unaware.”

― William Hart, The Art of Living: Vipassana Meditation as Taught by S. N. Goenka

You possess only that which you can give.

Only by giving do you become the possessor. If you cannot give, then you are not in possession, you are not the master.

Then the thing that you think you possess, is possessing you. Then you are possessed by your possession.

– Osho

Become simple, trust more, doubt a little less.

If you really want to doubt, doubt doubt, that’s all.

Doubt doubt; trust trust – and you will never miss.

– Osho

We cannot communicate with others to a higher level than we communicate within ourselves;

We cannot understand others to a higher level than we understand ourselves;

We cannot connect with others to a higher level than we are connected within ourselves.

Stephen Gribben

Surest Investment is Self Knowledge and Inner Stability

“`We are often our own prisoner, We limit ourselves and give in to things that don’t align with who we truly are, out of fear.

We fear abondoning our past because we have invested so much in It. We fear disappointing others and we end up disappointing ourselves.

We lie to ourselves so we can continue to believe in the illusion that satisfaction comes from external things. We build a comfort zone outside of ourselves and neglect our inner space.

We fear sitting alone in silence and listening to ourselves, because we can’t stand hearing the non sense we have repeated over the years,

But we know better now, we have enough hindsight to see that the surest investment is self knowledge and inner stability that is independant of the exterior world,

In crazy times like ours, meditation, presence and introspection are the key to embracing the exponentially changing world,

Wishing you all courage and awareness.
