“People get into a heavy-duty sin and guilt trip, feeling that if things are going wrong, that means that they did something bad and they are being punished. That’s not the idea at all. The idea of karma is that you continually get the teachings that you need to open your heart. To the degree that you didn’t understand in the past how to stop protecting your soft spot, how to stop armoring your heart, you’re given this gift of teachings in the form of your life, to give you everything you need to open further.” ~Pema Chödrön
“We truly must realize that ignorance makes a man unaware of the circumstance and reason for man’s own suffering, which ultimately is greed. We truly must overcome our ability to let ourselves be driven by the desires of our ego, that which ultimately fogs our vision and makes our hearts passive. We truly must feel the power of our own hearts and in first hand experience the peace it can bring to ourselves but uppermost the peace it will bring to others. When we eliminate our ego and give rise to our own pure being, we will be able to eradicate the suffering of man and all living creatures.” ~Zdravko Stefanovic
“You are one thing only. You are a Divine Being. An all-powerful Creator. You are a Deity in jeans and a t-shirt, and within you dwells the infinite wisdom of the ages and the sacred creative force of All that is, will be and ever was.” ~Anthon St. Maarten, Divine Living: The Essential Guide To Your True Destiny
Artists need to create on the same scale that society has the capacity to destroy.
“In the house of lovers, the music never stops, the walls are made of songs & the floor dances.” ~Rumi
Meet you there.
“If you always put limits on everything you do, physical or anything else, it will spread into your work and into your life. There are no limits. There are only plateaus, and you must not stay there, you must go beyond them.” ~Bruce Lee
“Ever since I was a child I have had this instinctive urge for expansion and growth. To me, the function and duty of a quality human being is the sincere and honest development of one’s potential.”
~Bruce Lee
“It takes a lot of courage to release the familiar and seemingly secure, to embrace the new. But there is no real security in what is no longer meaningful. There is more security in the adventurous and exciting, for in movement there is life, and in change there is power.” ~Alan Cohen

Have you heard the call?
Those of you who feel no love
sleep on.
Those of you who are untouched by the sorrows of love
in whose hearts there is no burning passion
sleep on.
Those of you who are not longing for union
and constantly asking, ‘Where is He?’
sleep on.
Love’s path is outside of all religious sects
if trickery and hypocrisy is your way
sleep on.
If like a drunkard in the night you fall left and right
unaware that the time has come for prayer
sleep on.
Fate has taken my sleep but since
it hasn’t taken yours, young man
sleep on.
I have fallen into love’s hands
but since you are in your own
sleep on.
I am drunk on Love
but since you are drunk on food
sleep on.
I have given up words and have nothing more to say
but you can rap yourself in the robe of words and
sleep on.
~Rumi
