  • Know Thyself

    Know then thyself, presume not God to scan; The proper study of mankind is Man. Placed on this isthmus of a middle state, A being darkly wise and rudely great: With too much knowledge for the Sceptic side, With too much weakness for the Stoic’s pride, He hangs between; in doubt to act or rest,…

  • A real human being

    I dwell in spiritual tipsiness, looking into the meaning of mellowness. I do not know why there is a profound smile on my lips, neither do I care to find out. Lighting up me entire body, filling it to the brim with nothing. I die to my self. Not knowing who I am, or where…

  • The ego is a monkey

    The ego is a monkey catapulting through the jungle: Totally fascinated by the realm of the senses, it swings from one desire to the next, one conflict to the next, one self-centered idea to the next. If you threaten it, it actually fears for its life. Let this monkey go. Let the senses go. Let…

  • Anuttara samyaksambodhi

    This means “complete, unsurpassed, perfect enlightment.” Notice, though, that the sutra first says the bodhisattva has nothing to attain and that, because of having nothing to attain, he attains complete liberation. You can’t attain liberation the way you attain a 1968 Camaro or D-plus on a math test. You can only attain liberation by clearly…

  • The Road Not Taken

    Two roads diverged in a yellow wood, I’m sorry I could not travel both And be one traveler, long I stood And looked down one as far as I could To where it bent in the undergrowth; Then took the other, as just as fair, And having perhaps the better claim, Because it was grassy…

  • When I see a butterfly I smile

    When I see a butterfly, I smile. With my eyes I chase the butterfly, my body following. The butterfly flutters, aimless here and there.  I think, am I not like the butterfly? I smile.

  • Commandment of my Spirit

    In the search for meaning in my life I reached the barrier of reason. I felt the urge to go beyond the doors of the comprehensible.  Looking for God. I walk on the path of enlightenment in search of the ultimate truth. Transcending all.  Returning to the void.

  • Wanderlust

    I am leaving this harbour, giving urban a farewell. Its habitants seem too keen on God I cannot stomach their rights and wrong. I have lost my origin, and I don’t want to find it again Rather sailing into nature’s laws and be held by ocean’s paws Wanderlust! relentlessly craving Wanderlust peel off the layers…

  • Give up learning and put an end to your troubles

    Is there a difference between yes and no? Is there a difference between good and evil? Must I fear what others fear? What nonsense! Other people are contented, enjoying the sacrificial feast of the ox. In spring some go to the park, and climb the terrace, But I alone am drifting, not knowing where I…

  • The inner depths

    Inwardly alert, open, calm. Outwardly upright, extended, filled with spirit. This is the foundation of stillness. Add the hard and the soft, the powerful and the relaxed, Motion and stillness, contraction and extension: In the instant these converge, there is power. Grand Master Wang Xiang Zhai Reference: The Way of Power: Reaching Full Strength in…

  • Transformations of a Spiritual Dragon

    A dragon, as spiritual luminosity, can be large or small, can rise or descend, can disappear or appear, can penetrate rocks and mountains, can leap in the clouds and travel with the rain. How can it do all this? Its done by the activity of the spirit. What I realize as I observe this is…

  • Sternenfreundschaft

    von Friedrich Nietzsche Wir waren Freunde und sind uns fremd geworden. Aber das ist recht so und wir wollen’s uns nicht verhehlen und verdunkeln, – als ob wir uns dessen zu schämen hätten. Wir sind zwei Schiffe, deren jedes sein Ziel und seine Bahn hat; wir können uns wohl kreuzen und ein Fest miteinander feiern,…
