“We live and spawn and want—always there is this ghastly wanting.”
“If you want to say that all religions and spiritual teachings share a core truth, it can only be this: Surrender is victory.”
— Jed McKenna (via thecalminside)
“Every form is difficult, no one is easier than another. They all kick your ass.”
“Having a lover/friend who regards you as a living growing criatura, being, just as much as the tree from the ground, or a ficus in the house, or a rose garden out in the side yard… having a lover and friends who look at you as a true living breathing entity, one that is human but made of very fine and moist and magical things as well… a lover and friends who support the ciatura in you… these are the people you are looking for. They will be the friends of your soul for life. Mindful choosing of friends and lovers, not to mention teachers, is critical to remaining conscious, remaining intuitive, remaining in charge of the fiery light that sees and knows.”
