When man fell to his knees he became the asshole he is today. - Carlos Castañeda

We are not merely whatever our common sense requires us to believe we are. We are in actuality luminous beings, capable of becoming aware of our luminosity. As luminous beings aware of our luminosity, we are capable of unravelling different facets of our awareness, or our attention. That unravelling could be brought about by a deliberate effort, as we are doing ourselves, or accidentally, through a bodily trauma.

Желание — вот что заставляет нас страдать, но, как только мы научимся уничтожать свои желания, любая полученная нами мелочь превратится в бесценный дар.
