17 Krishnamurti Quotes That Will Turn Your World View Outside In
Dylan Charles, Editor
Waking Times
Waking Times
A sage is someone who can put into words the aspects of our mysterious nature that most of us can only feel.
At times in my life I have been overwhelmed by the world and confused
about the purpose of it all. I spent much time in anguish, behaving in
self-destructive ways, wondering why happiness was so elusive.
In this struggle, I passed many years looking outward for the source
of turmoil in my world, trying to tweak, upgrade and replace parts of my
life that seemed culpable for my sorrows; a different job, new friends,
more education, better stuff. This always led me back, of course, to
where I started, still confused, still unsatisfied, still searching for
someone and something to blame.
Words are more than just the sum of their meaning, they are powerful
incantations, capable of conjuring up great inspiration or of casting
damning spells. Philosophy is something that can heal, yet no doctor can
prescribe it and no one can predict which words a person must hear to
break through to a better place in life.
The potent words of the great Indian philosopher Jiddu Krishnamurti fell into my life at precisely the right time, ringing true enough in my mind and in my heart to carry me to brighter days.
Until then, no other spokesman of truth had challenged me so bluntly
to take personal responsibility for everything that is wrong in my life
and everything that is misaligned in the world, pointing out so
truthfully that the world is as we create it. None other had demanded so
fervently that I look deep within for the answers to suffering,
pointing out the inattention I was giving to my own life. No one else
had challenged everything I thought I knew about my personal history and
my culture, exposing the conditioning of my own mind, compelling me to
change.
And for this I share with you these 17 Krishnamurti quotes that will turn your world view outside in,
urging you to reconsider your culture religion, politics and family,
guiding you towards a new awareness, intelligence and the truest
freedom.
Mostly taken from his public talks in the late 1960’s, these quotes
have the power to unleash us from our chains and set us free into a
powerful new present where our humanity can finally reign supreme over
our fearfulness.
I hope you find solace in them as I have, and that you share them
with those whom you love, stirring within them the deep truths that can
liberate us from the pitfalls of our own consciousness and the
fabrications of our culture.
1. Our minds are conditioned – that is an obvious fact – conditioned
by a particular culture or society, influenced by various impressions,
by the strains and stresses of relationships, by economic, climatic,
educational factors, by religious conformity and so on. Our minds are
trained to accept fear and to escape, if we can, from that fear, never
being able to resolve, totally and completely, the whole nature and
structure of fear. So our first question is: can the mind, so heavily
burdened, resolve completely, not only its conditioning, but also its
fears? Because it is fear that makes us accept conditioning.
2. I wonder why we divide life into fragments, the business life,
social life, family life, religious life, the life of sport and so on?
Why is there this division, not only in ourselves but also socially – we
they, you and me, love and hate, dying and living? I think we ought to
go into this question rather deeply to find out if there is a way of
life in which there is no division at all between living and dying,
between the conscious and the unconscious, the business and social life,
the family life and the individual life.
These divisions between nationalities, religions, classes, all this
separation in oneself in which there is so much contradiction – why do
we live that way? It breeds such turmoil, conflict, war; it brings about
real insecurity, outwardly as well as inwardly. There is so much
division, as God and the devil, the good and the bad, ‘what should be’
and ‘what is.’
3. Man has always sought immortality; he paints a picture, puts his
name on it, that is a form of immortality; leaving a name behind, man
always wants to leave something of himself behind. What has he got to
give – apart from technical knowledge – what has he of himself to give?
What is he? You and I, what are we, psychologically? You may have a
bigger bank account, be cleverer than I am, or this and that; but
psychologically, what are we? – a lot of words, memories, experiences,
and these we want to hand over to a son, put in a book, or paint in a
picture, ‘me’. The ‘me’ becomes extremely important, the ‘me’ opposed to
the community, the ‘me’, wanting to identify itself, wanting to fulfill
itself, wanting to become something great – you know, all the rest of
it. When you observe that ‘me’, you see that it is a bundle of memories,
empty words: that is what we cling to; that is the very essence of the
separation between you and me, they and we.
4. How is the mind, the brain included to be completely quiet? Some
say breathe properly, take deep breaths, that is, get more oxygen into
your blood; a shoddy little mind breathing very deeply, day after day,
can be fairly quiet; but it is still a shoddy little mind.
5. We look at conditions prevailing in the world and observe what is
happening there – the student’s riots, the class prejudices, the
conflict of black against white, the wars, the political confusion, the
divisions caused by nationalities and religions. We are also aware of
conflict, struggle, anxiety, loneliness, despair, lack of love, and
fear. Why do we accept all this? Why do we accept the moral, social
environment knowing very well that it is utterly immoral; knowing this
for ourselves – not merely emotionally or sentimentally but looking at
the world and at ourselves – why do we live this way? Why is it that our
educational system does not turn out real human beings but mechanical
entities trained to accept certain jobs and finally die? Education,
science and religion have not solved our problems at all.
Looking at all this confusion, why does each one of us accept and conform, instead of shattering the whole process in ourselves?
6. This is a very human, ordinary problem, which touches the life of
everyone of us, rich and poor, young and old, why do we live this
monotonous, meaningless life, going to the office or working in a
laboratory or a factory for forty years, breeding a few children,
educating them in absurd ways, and then dying? I think you should ask
this question with all your being, in order to find out. Then you can
ask the next question: whether human beings can ever change radically,
fundamentally, so that they look at the world anew with different eyes,
with a different heart, no longer filled with hatred, antagonism, racial
prejudices, but with a mind that is very clear, that has tremendous
energy.
Seeing all this – the wars, the absurd divisions which religions have
brought about, the separation between the individual and the community,
the family opposed to the rest of the world, each human being clinging
to some peculiar ideal, dividing himself into ‘me’ and ‘you’, ‘we’ and
‘they’ – seeing all this, both objectively and psychologically, there
remains only one question, one fundamental problem and this is whether
the human mind, which is so heavily conditioned, can change. Not in some
future incarnation, nor at the end of life, but change radically now,
so that the mind becomes new, fresh, young, innocent, unburdened, so
that we may know what it means to love and to live in peace.
7. To deny conventional morality completely is to be highly moral,
because what we call social morality, the morality of respectability, is
utterly immoral; we are competitive, greedy, envious, seeking our own
way – you know how we behave. We call this social morality; religious
people talk about a different kind of morality, but their life, their
whole attitude, the hierarchical structure of religious organization and
belief, is immoral. To deny that is not to react, because when you
react, this is another form of dissenting through one’s own resistance.
But when you deny it because you understand it, there is the highest
form of morality.
In the same way, to negate social morality, to negate the way we are
living – our petty little lives, our shallow thinking and existence, the
satisfaction at a superficial level with our accumulated things – to
deny all that, not as a reaction but seeing the utter stupidity and the
destructive nature of this way of living – to negate all that is to
live. To see the false as the false – this seeing is the true.
8. If people who say they love their children meant it, would there
be war? And would there be division of nationalities – would there be
these separations?
9. If the mind is unconditioned it is free. So we are going to find
out, examine very closely, what makes the mind so conditioned, what are
the influences that have brought about this conditioning, and why we
accept it. First of all, tradition plays an enormous part in life. In
that tradition the brain has developed so that it can find physical
security. One cannot live without security, that is the very first,
primary animal demand, that there be physical security; one must have a
house, food, clothing. But the psychological way in which we use this
necessity for security brings about chaos within and without. The
psyche, which is the very structure of thought, also wants to be secure
inwardly, in all its relationships. Then the trouble begins. There must
be physical security for everybody, not only for the few; but that
physical security for everybody is denied when psychological security is
sought through nations, through religions, through the family.
10. Then there is the question of dying, which we have carefully put
far away from us, as something that is going to happen in the future –
the future may be fifty years off or tomorrow. We are afraid of coming
to an end, coming physically to an end and being separated from the
things we have possessed, worked for, experienced – wife, husband, the
house, the furniture, the little garden, the books and the poems we have
written or hoped to write. And we are afraid to let all that go because
we are the furniture, we are the picture that we possess; when we have
the capacity to play the violin, we are that violin. Because we have
identified ourselves with those things – we are all that and nothing
else. Have you ever looked at it that way? You are the house – with the
shutters, the bedroom, the furniture which you have very carefully
polished for years, which you own – that is what you are. If you remove
all that you are nothing.
And that is what you are afraid of – of being nothing. Isn’t it very
strange how you spend forty years going to the office and when you stop
doing these things you have heart trouble and die? You are the office,
the files, the manager or the clerk or whatever your position is; you
are that and nothing else. And you have a lot of ideas about God,
goodness, truth, what society should be – that is all. Therein lies
sorrow. To realize for yourself that you are that is great sorrow, but
the greatest sorrow is that you do not realize it. To see that and find
out what it means is to die.
11. Can you observe anything – a tree, your wife, your neighbor, the
politician, the priest, a beautiful face – without any movement of the
mind? The images of your wife, of your husband, of your neighbor, the
knowledge of the cloud or of pleasure, all that interferes, doesn’t it?
So when there is interference by an image of any kind, subtle or
obvious, then there is no observation, there is no real, total awareness
– there is only partial awareness. To observe clearly there must be no
image coming in between the observer and the thing observed. When you
look at a tree, can you look at it without the knowledge of that tree in
botanical terms, or the knowledge of your pleasure or desire concerning
it? Can you look at it so completely that the space between you – the
observer – and the thing observed disappears? That doesn’t mean that you
become the tree! But when that space disappears, there is the cessation
of the observer, and only the thing which is observed remains. In that
observation there is perception, seeing the thing with extraordinary
vitality, its color, its shape, the beauty of the leaf or trunk; when
there is not the center of the ‘me’ who is observing, you are intimately
in contact with that which you observe.
12. If I think I am very beautiful and you tell me I am not, which
may be a fact, do I like it? If I think I am very intelligent, very
clever, and you point out that I am actually a rather silly person, it
is very unpalatable to me. And your pointing out my stupidity gives you a
sense of pleasure, does it not? It flatters your vanity, it shows you
how clever you are. But you do not want to look at your own
stupidity; you want to run away from what you are, you want to hide from
yourself, you want to cover up your own emptiness, your own loneliness.
So you seek out friends who never tell you what you are. You want to
show others what they are; but when others show you what you are, you do
not like it. You avoid that which exposes your own inner nature.
13. Real freedom is not something to be acquired, it is the outcome
of intelligence. You cannot go out and buy freedom in the market. You
cannot get it by reading a book, or by listening to someone talk.
Freedom comes with intelligence.
But what is intelligence? Can there be intelligence when there is
fear, or when the mind is conditioned? When your mind is prejudiced, or
when you think you are a marvelous human being, or when you are very
ambitious and want to climb the ladder of success, worldly or spiritual,
can there be intelligence? When you are concerned about yourself, when
you follow or worship somebody, can there be intelligence? Surely,
intelligence comes when you understand and break away from all this
stupidity. So you have to set about it; and the first thing is to be
aware that your mind is not free. You have to observe how your mind is
bound by all these things, and then there is the beginning of
intelligence, which brings freedom. You have to find the answer for
yourself. What is the use of someone else being free when you are not,
or of someone else having food when you are hungry?
To be creative, which is to have real initiative, there must be
freedom; and for freedom there must be intelligence. So you have to
inquire and find out what is preventing intelligence. You have to
investigate life, you have to question social values, everything, and
not accept anything because you are frightened.
14. Have you ever thought about why you are being educated, why you
are learning history, mathematics, geography, or what else? Have you
ever thought why you go to schools and colleges? Is it information, with
knowledge? What is all this so-called education? Your parents send you
here, perhaps because they themselves have passed certain examinations
and taken various degrees. Have you ever asked yourselves why you are
here, and have the teachers asked why you are here? Do the teachers know
why they are here? Should you not try to find out what all this
struggle is about – this struggle to study, to pass examinations, to
live in a certain place away from home and not be frightened, to play
games well and so on? Should your teachers not help you to inquire into
all this and not merely prepare you to pass examinations?
15. So religion becomes a matter of belief, and belief acts as a
limitation on the mind; and the mind then is never free. But it is only
in freedom that you can find out what is true, what is God, not through
any belief; because your belief projects what you think God ought to be, what you think ought
to be true. If you believe God is love, God is good, God is this or
that, your very belief prevents you from understanding what is God, what
is true.
16. A conditioned mind is not free because it can never go beyond its
own borders, beyond the barriers it has built around itself; that is
obvious. And it is very difficult for such a mind to free itself from
its conditioning and go beyond, because this conditioning is imposed
upon it, not only by society, but by itself. You like your
conditioning because you dare not go beyond. You are frightened of what
your father and mother would say, of what society and the priest would
say; therefore you help to create the barriers which hold you. This is
the prison in which most of us are caught, and that is why your parents
are always telling you – as you in turn will tell your children – to do
this and not do that.
17. Now, there are many people who will tell you the purpose of life;
they will tell you what the sacred books say. Clever people will go on
inventing various purposes of life. The political group will have one
purpose, the religious group will have another, and so on and on. And
how are you to find out what is the purpose of life when you yourself
are confused? Surely, as long as you are confused, you can only receive
an answer which is also confused. If your mind is disturbed, if it is
not really quiet, whatever answer you receive will be through this
screen of confusion, anxiety, fear; therefore the answer will be
perverted. So the important thing is not to ask what is the purpose of
life, but to clear away the confusion that is within you. It is like a
blind man asking, “What is light?” If I try to tell him what light is,
he will listen according to his blindness, according to his darkness;
but from the moment he is able to see, he will never ask what is light.
It is there.

The Elephant in the Living Room Is Standing On My Foot
Contributor
Question: What is your relationship to Life? How do you feel about
being here? Do you trust it, or are you suspicious, bitter, and
withdrawn?
In my casual ego mind, I am emotionally withdrawn, absent, shut down,
bewildered, disengaged, and confused. I endlessly complain about my
plight in this world and am ungrateful. The ugly truth is that I
routinely default on myself and others and on Life itself. Life doesn’t
betray me, I betray it. When I entertain thoughts of betrayal and
abandonment, I rape Life, then blame the bitch. Life gets raped and
blamed for it.
By now, I’m choking to death, but by my own hand.
This is important to recognize because, if it’s my hand, then I can
remove it myself, don’t need anything or anyone to do it for me.
This is the first Office of Authentic Spiritual Practice: Recognition
of and responsibility for the emotional withdrawal from Life and Love.
The Second Office is when I sit down and shut the Fuck up in the Face
of the Cosmic Enormity of Life, and recognize Its Innocent, Fierce,
Infinite, egoless Nature, my truest self. I stop disassociating
emotionally into my fantasies of separateness from this Profound Wonder
and vomit out all the repression, the avoidance, the trauma of real and
imagined disease and get into Bed with this Great Lover.
The Brilliant, Unbroken, seamless Presence of Life circulating
through all creation, the Current that oscillates between the cycles of
birth and death, through infinite stretches of fathomless space, that
one, that Very One, is the Only Existing Reality and I am completely,
always, already inherently one with It, just like a whirlpool in a
River. It has always been this way.
There is only One Life living all things and It became me and you.
When we meet on that level, big things happen, because ego, the
dramatization of betrayal and abandonment has been made obsolete by
Noticing and Being Intimate with the One who shows up as Two. This
produces emotional and spiritual intimacy between us because we are
standing on what is Real.
When the whirlpool sees the River and its place in it, it swoons and
falls intoxicated into bed like a lover, ready, willing, able, open,
fully engaged, deeply pleasurized, intensely passionate.
Now, you are aware of the Elephant on your foot. It hurts. God
becomes man, even poor little you and me, a painful and bloody affair.
The infinite Life consents to be you and me and everything else, fully
surrendered to us all, and I miss it. The Word becomes flesh, the
infinity of Life fractalizes into mortal human beings who are all going
to die, and I hide my face even though I am obligated to somehow love
and trust in the face of this great contradiction. We were born with
the impulse to love, and everyone we love is going to disappear. Does
this make sense? Does it produce trust or doubt in you?
Authentic spiritual practice, true religion, begins with this:
Recognizing my emotional recoil from the Incandescent Event of Existence
and overcoming it by being responsible for it.
I thereby stand before it, not as it.
Spiritual practice has exactly nothing to do with beliefs, it has
everything to do with the moral obligation to face the truth, to face
Reality, to tell the truth about my lies, to own my own refusal to be
that which I so obviously am: the full bodied, red blooded incarnation
of Infinite Life, in spite of my mortality and all my many faults and
shortcomings.
This is an Ordeal, coming to terms with the simultaneity of my
infinite and mortal nature. It’s an impossible, contradictory
situation, but here I am anyway. When I make friends with it and stop
making it into a problem, my eyesight clears up, the Obvious is now
Noticed, this is simply the Way God Is. Coming to terms with this
involves staring into the Paradox long enough for the light and heat to
burn through the rational and metaphysical assumptions I constantly
plaster onto Life, ideas like “consciousness comes from neurons firing
in the brain” (scientific materialism) and “Original Sin separates Man
from God” (religious psychosis)
These completely unfounded and theoretical assumptions reduce Life to the level of a concentration camp.
We are not isolated individuals, we share a dynamic unity with
literally everything. Scientism, the religion of science, as well as
religious fundamentalism are maps masquerading as this Territory of the
Heart. It doesn’t matter if the whole world believes it, belief has
never changed the truth, not once.
Ego ideas about life are just not equivalents to Life Itself. No map
ever could be equal to the territory it describes. The Radiant Core of
Conscious Light, Existence Itself, the Infinitely Intense Current of
the Heart, is the fundamental Nature of Reality.
When human culture is based on the Recognition and Appreciation and
Exploration of this Wonder, this Impossible Treasure buried in the
Field, when we as individuals and nations overcome our recoil, our lack
of confidence in Life, in Actual God, we will return to the disposition
of the Radiant Core and humanity will become the birthplace of Real
Life, not materialistic, industrialized consumerism and disaster
capitalism, not fundamentalism and fascism. Tyrants will be laughed off
the planet, having no exploitable hosts to dominate. Priests will go
broke for lack of work. The searing Obviousness of Utter Unity with all
Life will overwhelm the petty differences within the human family and
profound gratitude for and empathy with all others will be the dominant
social meme planet wide.
This will come about when Reality is met on it’s own terms and is no
longer held hostage in the dungeons of ego mind. That will be
accomplished when we have had quite enough of self strangulation,
capitulation to lies, collusion with saboteurs, empowerment of tyrants,
belief in false gods and completely wake up to the liberating Facts of
Life: Freedom and Light and Happiness is our very nature, now. We
share the nature of That which originated us, which is Free, Self
Existing, and Radiant, Intelligent Light. We are not orphans born in
sin. We are inherently blissful incarnations of love and truth
(Reality) radiant fractals of eternal Light, now as always. This is the
demonstrable Truth, is not a belief, an idea. It’s Real. See for
yourself.
This is cause for great celebration and will one day be the basis of
human culture. The Recognition of the Free, Ecstatic nature of Life and
our inherent unity with It will unleash the most powerful forces ever
seen on planet Earth. When we identify What is fundamentally True and
live in alignment with It, everything else falls into place.
Responsibility for Love, for Life, for What is True is the only
realistic way to live. Conventional religious and scientific beliefs
are like junk food, it looks good, but has no real nutritional value.
Only Truth and Love can provide Light and Life. Truth is Real, is not
an opinion. If Truth is an ocean, belief is a ripple on its surface.
Belief systems are virtual facsimiles of this Reality, canned versions of fresh food.
Why settle for a virtual reality when you can have the Real Thing?

Symptoms of Inner Peace
by Saskia Davis
©1984
Be on
the lookout for symptoms of inner peace. The hearts of a great many have
already been exposed to inner peace and it is possible that people everywhere
could come down with it in epidemic proportions. This could pose a serious
threat to what has, up to now, been a fairly stable condition of conflict in
the world.
Some signs and symptoms of inner peace:
· A tendency to think and act spontaneously rather than on fears based on past experiences.
· An unmistakable ability to enjoy each moment.
· A loss of interest in judging other people.
· A loss of interest in judging self.
· A loss of interest in interpreting the actions of others.
· A loss of interest in conflict.
· A loss of the ability to worry. (This is a very serious symptom.)
· Frequent, overwhelming episodes of appreciation.

· Frequent, overwhelming episodes of appreciation.
· Contented feelings of connectedness with others and nature.
· Frequent attacks of smiling.
· An increasing tendency to let things happen rather than (try to) make them happen.
· An increased susceptibility to the love extended by others as well as the uncontrollable urge to extend it.
WARNING:
If you have some or all of the above symptoms, please be advised that your condition of inner peace may be so far advanced as to not be curable. If you are exposed to anyone exhibiting any of these symptoms, remain exposed only at your own risk.

State of Independence - Happy New YOU!
Don't forget to turn the sound up for this one:
Lyrics:
State of life, may I live, may I love
Coming out of the sky I name me a name
Coming up silver word for what it is
It is the very nature of the sound of the game
Siamese, Indonese to Tibet
Treat the life as a game if you please
Coming up Caribbean sense of freedom
Derives from a meditative state
Moving on, believe that's it
Call it magic Third World
It is, I only guessed it
Shah blam ee dee
Shah blam ee dah
Shot to the soul
The flame of Aura'ladin
The essence of the word
The state of independence
Sound like a signal from you
Bring me to meet your sound
And I will bring you to my heart
Love like a signal you call
Touching my body, my soul
Bring to me, you to meet me here
Home be the temple of your heart
Home be the body of your love
Just like holy water to my lips
Yes, I do know how I survive
Yes, I do know why I'm alive
To love and be with you
Day by day by day by day
Say yea yea yea yo
Yea yea yea yo
Be the sound of higher than today
Time again it is said we will hear
We will see it all in this wisdom here
This truth will abound the land
The state of independence shall be
And here is Donna Summers version, see if you can stay sitting down for this one!

2012: Time for Change
2012: Time for Change - CZ from jiloun on Vimeo.
“2012: Time for Change” presents an optimistic alternative to
apocalyptic doom and gloom. Directed by Emmy Award nominee João Amorim,
the film follows journalist Daniel Pinchbeck, author of the bestselling
2012: The Return of Quetzalcoatl, on a quest for a new paradigm that
integrates the archaic wisdom of tribal cultures with the scientific
method. As conscious agents of evolution, we can redesign
post-industrial society on ecological principles to make a world that
works for all. Rather than breakdown and barbarism, 2012 heralds the
birth of a regenerative planetary culture where collaboration replaces
competition, where exploration of psyche and spirit becomes the new
cutting edge, replacing the sterile materialism that has pushed our
world to the brink.

It's Not Personal
We must stop
taking each encounter and thought personally. It no longer is about the
personality or content of the mind. If you remember that thoughts are merely
conditioning that we have identified with, then it is easier to see that
whatever arises in consciousness, whether it looks to be outside in the world,
or appears in our inner landscape, is to be considered a clue as to what is the
next step in our collective healing. Approaching all content of the dream as
markers that point to the unfolding of awakening, we see the direction we must
go and the actions we must take. But it never is directing us towards further
separation. The idea we should shield ourselves in any way, is entrenched in
duality. In Oneness there can be no enemy.
That doesn’t
mean we are required to play a part in the dream that would override our sense
of integrity. Some behaviors and scenarios are dead ends and lead to further
fragmentation. Since the goal of any organism is wholeness and coherence, we
continue in that direction and avoid any enticement that would distract emotionally
and pull us into drama. The “I” thought that differentiates, with its “own”
values, perceptions, beliefs, etc. is the program, not the truth. We are Consciousness,
aware of ITSELF, evolving through this dimensional dream world, and discovering
its nature. It is always attempting to divulge its true nature, to look more
closely and pierce the veil. It attempts this through us as its agents. So the
invitation is to relinquish individuality, not to another belief system as
presented by another teacher, but to LIFE ITSELF as it moves through us,
breathing the new paradigm into existence.
There are
always opportunities, more so now than ever, to surrender our personas of
protection and become transparent and vulnerable to LIFE in its constant
expression. Love is its language and would speak through action, not words. I
do not mean action necessarily in the form of doing, but is more about the
nature of Being. The intellect cannot reason out the manner in which the flow
will appear, as each moment makes itself known completely fresh, neither encumbered
by the past nor expectant of a future. It knows intuitively its directionality
through time-space. It is like water, tumbling from stream to river as it seeks
finally joining its mother, the ocean. It is inevitable. It is HOME.
When we
enter this flow, surrendering control and entering the stream of alive
Consciousness, we become instruments of harmony, joining the frequential and
vibratory undoing of anything unlike the essential truth of Being, of Life
ITSELF. We are the change agents as soon as we walk into a room. When you feel
tension arising, know you have ushered in an invitation to freedom. There is
nothing need be said, but Life’s presence through you will begin the adjustment
necessary. It has nothing to do with you, so stay out of it. Be still. Allow.
Love. That’s all.
Opinions and
viewpoints are transitory and are constantly changing as we are upgraded in our
understanding. Do not be a disseminator of viewpoints, please. Relinquish all
viewpoints and join the infinity of Life’s awareness, which, of course,
includes EVERYTHING in existence, including that which you cannot yet perceive.
That means you cannot take a stand, anywhere. It is like an endless free fall,
where you become accustomed to the inability to orient yourself to any
reference point, where you finally stop trying to grab onto something to stop
the sense of certain death. In fact, you stop trying to avoid anything, but
instead become curious as to what it is you’ve been afraid of. It’s time to
come to grips and get to know your inner terrorist, to face it head on and see
what happens. When you’re ready, the universe will align with your intent, and your
situation will morph to provide the perfect opening for you to transcend your
self-imposed limitations.
True freedom
is awakening from the illusion of everything you thought was true and
encountering Truth directly, alive and always brand new as it moves through
time-space moment by moment. It is the death of your fictional identity and the
relinquishing of all desire to recreate a new one. It is not just getting off
the carousel; it is leaving the amusement park altogether. What happens after
that is anyone’s guess.
Love to All, Suzen

Breaking Study Is The First To Show Link Between Being Present In The Moment And Ageless DNA
by MICHAEL FORRESTER
To read more CLICK HERE.
Scientific studies have suggested that a mind that is present and in
the moment indicates well-being, whereas shifting our energy to the
past or future can lead to unhappiness. Now, a preliminary UCSF study
shows a link between mind wandering and aging, by looking at a
biological measure of longevity within our DNA.
In the study,
telomere length, an emerging biomarker for cellular and general
bodily aging, was assessed in association with the tendency to be
present in the moment versus the tendency to mind wander, in research
on 239 healthy, midlife women ranging in age from 50 to 65 years.
Being present in the moment was defined as an inclination to be
focused on current tasks, while mind wandering was defined as the
inclination to have thoughts about things other than the present or
being elsewhere.
Many practitioners of spiritual health tell us not to deny the problems we are facing, but to also not get lost in them either. Psychological sciences have shown us that being present brings us greater alertness and inner security, allowing us to face challenges more objectively and with greater calm.

According to the findings, published online in the new Association for Psychological Science journal Clinical Psychological Science,
those who reported more mind wandering had shorter telomeres, while
those who reported more presence in the moment, or having a greater
focus and engagement with their current activities, had longer
telomeres, even after adjusting for current stress.

I Woke Up This Morning...
This is a sincere plea to everyone who is involved with supporting the globalist agenda, especially those who remain unconscious of working towards their own enslavement and the enslavement of humanity. Please wake up and choose Freedom!

International Day of Peace - September 21, 2012
Organizations from around the world have come together with the vision of co-creating the Largest Globally-Synchronized Meditation and Prayer for Peace in human history.
There will be live events in hundreds of cities around the world, starting at 6pm in local timezones, creating a profound wave of peace moving across our planet.
There will also be three specific moments during the day when everyone around the world will connect at the same time: 12am, 12 noon, and 12 midnight EDT, creating three deep planetary Pulses of Peace.
BeThePeace welcomes people from every culture, every spiritual tradition, and every political perspective to join Together as One.
We invite local organizations to collaborate and create events in your city. We invite global organizations to spread the word and inspire the masses to join.
Together, we are creating a world where inner & outer peace is the normal way of life. Together, we are creating history!
Join us!
