“Water has no shape, its nature is to flow. If you put it into a vase it will take the shape of the vase. In this cup, it has assumed the shape of the cup. If poured into my cupped hands it will take the shape of the hands. But water has no shape. It is the same with the consciousness, which is subtler than water. It similarly has no form, but it assumes the form of whatever concept it is poured into or identifies with, but it will never be the form. It remains ever its formless nature.”
Mooji
“Ever since happiness heard your name,
it has been running through the streets trying to find you.”
Hafiz
“If you are depressed, you are living in the past.
If you are anxious, you are living in the future.
If you are at peace, you are living in the present”
Lao Tzu
- Byron Katie
“You are so hypnotized by yourself that you probably think you’re real.”
Byron Katie
“Everyone is my teacher.
Some I seek.
Some I attract because of what I must learn.
You might be unaware of what you teach me.
I bow deeply to you in my gratitude for what you have taught me.”
Neeshia Jasmara
“It is often the case that whatever we are doing, be it sitting, walking, standing, or lying, the mind is frequently disengaged from the immediate reality and is instead absorbed in compulsive conceptualization about the future or past. While we are walking, we think about arriving, and when we arrive, we think about leaving. When we are eating, we think about the dishes and as we do the dishes, we think about watching television.
This is a weird way to run a mind. We are not connected with the present situation, but we are always thinking about something else. Too often we are consumed with anxiety and cravings, regrets about the past and anticipation for the future, completely missing the crisp simplicity of the moment.”

it’s all over now…
stop trying to tell the world what it is
and what it should be
it is nothing
stop trying to battle the circumstances
and to make them what you think you want
they are nothing
stop remembering
stop wanting things
time is nothing
stop glorifying your image
stop defending it
you are nothing
stop believing your thoughts
stop looking to the circumstances
for validation
you made it up
you made it all up
your thoughts are nothing
rejoice in not knowing
release all fear
and discover wisdom
lay down
your self-conceived burden
just for a moment
NOW
let limitless and conditionless
love and joy
fill you
for no reason
your reason need no longer confine you
nor guide you
you are free
(you always have been)
see what remains…
