Philosophy is only a pond away.
Philosophy is only a pond away.
~ Carlos Ruiz Zafon
“One of the pitfalls of childhood is that one doesn't have to understand something to feel it. By the time the mind is able to comprehend what has happened, the wounds of the heart are already too deep.”
“But in good time you'll see that sometimes what matters isn't what one gives but what one gives up.”
A room without books ..is like a body without a soul.”
“I couldn't help thinking that if I, by pure chance, had found a whole universe in a single unknown book, buried in that endless necropolis, tens of thousands more would remain unexplored, forgotten forever. I felt myself surrounded by millions of abandoned pages, by worlds and souls without an owner sinking in an ocean of darkness, while the world that throbbed outside the library seemed to be losing its memory, day after day, unknowingly, feeling all the wiser the more it forgot.”

little slippery reptile...
Don't be afraid...it's not as scary as you think.
And I'm not a teacher - I'm an artist.
I try to paint a picture. We can go flying into one, you know.
We just need to remember to bring our multi-colored paints with us - ALL of them.
Things just need to be painted as IS...or as close to reality as we see it. That way aren't we closer to *your* god?

I wouldn't say that the concept of a god is silly. I may be wrong here but if we humans imagined and dreamed it up, perhaps it does have some basis in reality. It is just the way we choose to conceive of that possible Reality and paint its picture that can get silly. Sometimes we just feel the need to slop so much paint indiscriminately on that canvas that it becomes almost impossible to see. Instead of looking at the canvas and allowing something to reveal itself to us slowly, we have to use up all of that paint and all of that canvas and slop, slop, slop, slop, slop!
Where is my mind at the moment? How can I even answer such a question? Or maybe I just did above.

Well... along with him and LJ/CLD we are on a 'dummy' roll 
Examine what is said, not him who speaks.
~Arab Proverb
aes dhammo sanantano Pali: 'this is the eternal law'
The Narcissist exists whereby every activity and relationship is defined by the hedonistic need to acquire the symbols of spiritual wealth, this becoming the only expression of rigid, yet covert, social hierarchies. It is a culture where liberalism only exists insofar as it serves a consumer society, and even art, sex and religion lose their liberating power.
