“Many people across the world are talking about preparing for war. Becoming ready to fight against the darkest evils that have had their grip on human society for thousands of years. Awaiting a courageous, heroic, last stand for the good of the world. It should not be surprising to you when I state that I’m prepared to go to war, side by side with you, and I am well equipped! For the war I am fighting is not deadly, for in my war bodies should remain intact and become healthier, villages should grow and prosper into abundant communities, families and friends will bond together and uplift one another. For the war that I am fighting, at your side, is not one of old world thought, nor old world versus new world, not even the dark side versus the light side. I’m at war with your lack of knowledge, your cognitive dissonance, your immediate refusal of new intelligence that ceases your very evolution. I’m at war with your polluting structures, the industries destroying your homes that you still choose to work for, the very buildings springing up around your bodies which you passively allow to destroy your lives. I’m at war with the depths of your soul, the darkness you’ve been holding on to, the negativity that you’ve allowed to build so feverishly which transforms you into an abyss. If there is anything I’m at war for, that war is for your heart, mind and spirit. My family, it should not surprise you when I state that I am fully prepared to go to war with you, side by side, and that I am well equipped.” ~Asura Tejo Rupa Posted on January 26, 2015 by underthebluedoor Posted in General, Quotes, Street Art Tagged #streetart Leave a comment
“The portal is each other. Every time we wound, shatter and destroy others, we block the portal. The divine didn’t put us down here together for some arbitrary reason. The divine waits for us on the bridge between our hearts. We are here to love one another into God.” ~Jeff Brown Posted on January 25, 2015 by underthebluedoor Posted in Art, Check It Out, General, Quotes Leave a comment Art by Tomasz Alen Kopera
“To me, the most beautiful thing you can own in this world, and the most faithful ally, is an open heart. An open heart allows total freedom and wildness of spirit because it is comfortable with its expression. There is no fear, only love. And we all know what happens when we are in a state of love; magic happens, dreams become realized, synchronicities abound, and life unfolds effortlessly.” ~Zoe Quiney Posted on January 23, 2015 by underthebluedoor Posted in Art, General, Quotes Leave a comment Art by Tara McPherson

“You are not in this movie, unless you choose to perceive yourself to be. You are, in fact, watching it.” ~Rasha Posted on January 21, 2015 by underthebluedoor Posted in Quotes Leave a comment
“Therefore, dear Sir, love your solitude and try to sing out with the pain it causes you. For those who are near you are far away… and this shows that the space around you is beginning to grow vast…. be happy about your growth, in which of course you can’t take anyone with you, and be gentle with those who stay behind; be confident and calm in front of them and don’t torment them with your doubts and don’t frighten them with your faith or joy, which they wouldn’t be able to comprehend. Seek out some simple and true feeling of what you have in common with them, which doesn’t necessarily have to alter when you yourself change again and again; when you see them, love life in a form that is not your own and be indulgent toward those who are growing old, who are afraid of the aloneness that you trust…. and don’t expect any understanding; but believe in a love that is being stored up for you like an inheritance, and have faith that in this love there is a strength and a blessing so large that you can travel as far as you wish without having to step outside it.” ~Rainer Maria Rilke Posted on January 21, 2015 by underthebluedoor Posted in Art, General, Quotes Leave a comment Art by Nei Ruffino Source ~ ShamanTube
“I have a secret love of chaos. There should be more of it. Do not believe — and I am dead serious when I say this — do not assume that order and stability are always good, in a society or in a universe. The old, the ossified, must always give way to new life and the birth of new things. Before the new things can be born the old must perish. This is a dangerous realization, because it tells us that we must eventually part with much of what is familiar to us. And that hurts. But that is part of the script of life. Unless we can psychologically accommodate change, we ourselves begin to die, inwardly. What I am saying is that objects, customs, habits, and ways of life must perish so that the authentic human being can live. And it is the authentic human being who matters most, the viable, elastic organism which can bounce back, absorb, and deal with the new.” ~Philip K.

“I refuse to accept the view that mankind is so tragically bound to the starless midnight of racism and war that the bright daybreak of peace and brotherhood can never become a reality… I believe that unarmed truth and unconditional love will have the final word.” ~Martin Luther King, Jr. Posted on January 20, 2015 by underthebluedoor Posted in Activism, General, Quotes Leave a comment
