Food For Thought

“It is often said of a person that “he is just trying to find himself.” And that is very true. What you are all trying to find is your self. Yet you will not find that self anywhere outside of you. What you are looking for can only be found within.” ~~ Neale Donald Walsch

Word Press ate my thoughts… I had rambled about being in the “still” and added a photo and when I hit publish all I had was a title.

Food For Thought

“In daily practice, reflect on the benefits of love, compassion and kindness, then reflect on the disadvantages of anger. Such continuous contemplation, the growing appreciation of love, has the effect of reducing our inclination towards hatred and increasing our respect for love. By this means even anger can be diminished.” ~~ The Dalai Lama

“Everyone can understand from natural experience and common sense that affection is crucial from the day of birth; it is the basis of life. The very survival of our body requires the affection of others, to whom we also respond with affection. Though mixed with attachment, this affection is not based on physical or sexual attraction, so it can be extended to all living beings without bias.” ~~ The Dalai Lama

Food For Thought

“You see, you are not educated to be alone. Do you ever go out for a walk by yourself? It is very important to go out alone, to sit under a tree—not with a book, not with a companion, but by yourself—and observe the falling of a leaf, hear the lapping of the water, the fishermen’s song, watch the flight of a bird, and of your own thoughts as they chase each other across the space of your mind. If you are able to be alone and watch these things, then you will discover extraordinary riches which no government can tax, no human agency can corrupt, and which can never be destroyed.” ~~ J. Krishnamurti

“When you find peace within, you also find that you can do without. This means simply that you no longer need the things of your outside world, and not needing is a great freedom.” ~~ Neale Donald Walsch
