“Song, songs kept them going and going; They didn’t realize the millions of seeds they were sowing. They were singing in marches, even singing in jail. Songs gave them the courage to believe they would not fail.” ~Pete Seeger Posted on May 4, 2015 by underthebluedoor Posted in Check It Out, Quotes, Revolution Leave a comment
“Remember this, my darling—remember this. What you achieve on earth is only a small part of the deal. If there’s a secret I could whisper, and that you could keep, it would be that it’s all inside you already. Every single thing you need. Earth is just a stopover. A kind of game. Make it a star game. If I could give you a gift, it would be to teach you how to stay free inside that game, to find the glory inside yourself, beyond the roles and the drama, so you can dance the dance of the game of life with a little more rhythm, a little more abandon, a little more shaking-those-hips.” ~Annie Kagan, The Afterlife of Billy Fingers Posted on May 1, 2015 by underthebluedoor Posted in Art, General, Quotes 1 Comment Art by Catrin Welz-Stein
“You have little time left, and none of it for crap. A fine state. I would say that the best of us always comes out when we are against the wall, when we feel the sword dangling overhead. Personally, I wouldn’t have it any other way.” ~Carlos Castaneda, Tales of Power Posted on May 1, 2015 by underthebluedoor Posted in Art, General, Quotes Leave a comment Art by Francois Schuiten
“Society does not want individuals who are alert, keen, revolutionary, because such individuals will not fit into the established social pattern and they may break it up. That is why society seeks to hold your mind in its pattern, and why your so-called education encourages you to imitate, to follow, to conform.” ~Jiddu Krishnamurti Posted on April 29, 2015 by underthebluedoor Posted in Art, General, Quotes 1 Comment

“The only calibration that counts is how much heart people invest, how much they ignore their fears of being hurt or caught out or humiliated. And the only thing people regret is that they didn’t live boldly enough, that they didn’t invest enough heart, didn’t love enough. Nothing else really counts at all.” ~Ted Hughes, “Letters of Ted Hughes” Posted on April 24, 2015 by underthebluedoor Posted in Art, General, Quotes Leave a comment Art by Cameron Gray
“There is a vast spiritual awakening in progress in our world. Quietly and soulfully, many are returning to the truth of who they are, seeing the futility of the world’s ego ways. If you surrender to this call from within, it may lead to a deep questioning of “the way we do things”. There will surely be moments of loneliness, where you feel that you no longer belong, as the world tries to pull you back into its worn out paradigms; but if you stay in peace and follow the call, your soul will begin to see truth in a deeper way: the remembrance of perfection, your own, and that of others. This truth is the only freedom there really is, and its power is beyond anything the world can offer. It is your power. It can move mountains. It can heal you; it can heal the world.” ~Sherri Lane Posted on April 23, 2015 by underthebluedoor Posted in Art, General, Quotes 2 Comments Art by Autumn Skye
“Laughter may be the most profound state of alignment that exists… Laughter is your first impulse when you reemerge into non physical. And you realize how idiotically seriously you’ve been taking all this stuff. In that final recognition of the well-being of you and the worthiness of you and the value of you. There will be a laughing fest the likes of which you have not yet experienced in this physical form.” ~ Abraham Hicks Posted on April 22, 2015 by underthebluedoor Posted in General, photography, Quotes Leave a comment
