The Silence of Awareness Quotes

“Feel to be free,
free from all the disturbance in the mind,
free from strange emotions,
emotions and thoughts that I cannot pinpoint.
They are moving around in space,
and that’s fine,
if they just hadn’t been exactly where I am.
Is this how it is,
to be one with everything?”
― Nanne Nyander, The Silence of Awareness

“Hope follows me wherever I go,
but Hope is my biggest obstacle.
She keeps me focused on the future,
focused on becoming.
Despair is holding my hand,
he keeps me stuck in the past.
Hope and Despair walk hand in hand with me,
happily distracting me from what I am,
distracting me from reality,
inviting me to look anywhere but here and now.
Hope acts as my friend,
Despair acts as my enemy.
Sometimes Despair feels more comforting than Hope,
but they are the same character with different clothing.
I’m here, I’m now,
I am reality and I have the power to turn down any
and all invitations into the land of illusion.
Hope is just a thought,
and so is Despair.
I alone is real.”
― Nanne Nyander, The Silence of Awareness
