“A day will dawn when you will laugh at your past efforts. What you realize on the day you laugh is also here and now”
Ramana Maharshi

Jon Kabat-Zinn
“It's very important as a beginner that you understand right from the start that meditation is about befriending your thinking, about holding it gently in awareness, no matter what is on your mind in a particular moment. It is not about shutting off your thoughts or changing them in any way.”
Jon Kabat-Zinn, Mindfulness for Beginners: Explore the Infinite Potential that Lies Within This Very Moment

“Relative truths can also be absolute.


Relative absolute truths are like two people looking at the same coin, from two different sides, each sees a different truth and presumes they are looking at the same coin, and yet neither side can see the third side.”
Caesar J. B. Squitti, The Jesus Christ Code: The LIGHT: The Rainbow of Truths

Jon Kabat-Zinn
“When we don't automatically take them (thoughts) personally or believe the stories about "reality" that we build from them,when we can simply hold them in awareness with a sense of curiosity and wonder at their amazing power given their insubstantiality, their limitations,and inaccuracies,then we have a chance right in that moment,in any moment really,to not get caught in their habitual patterning,to see thoughts for what they are,impersonal events.
Then in that moment at least, we are already free,ready to act with greater clarity and kindness within the constantly changing field of events that is nothing other than life unfolding-- not always as we think it should,but definitely as it is.”
Jon Kabat-Zinn, Mindfulness for Beginners: Explore the Infinite Potential that Lies Within This Very Moment

Jon Kabat-Zinn
“The challenge for mindfulness is to be present for your experience as it is rather than immediately jumping in to change it or try to force it to be different.”
Jon Kabat-Zinn, Mindfulness for Beginners: Explore the Infinite Potential that Lies Within This Very Moment
