Today's Wisdom

My choice is what i choose to do
And if I'm causing no harm it shouldn't bother you
Your choice is who you choose to be
And if you're causing no harm, then you're alright with me

Carlos Castaneda wrote:"SPIRITUALITY"

an empty ideality, an assertion without basis
that we believe to be very beautiful
because it is encrusted with literary concepts and
poetic expressions, but which never goes beyond that
it is simply a description of something impossible to achieve
the idea of spirituality doesn't fit with the iron discipline of a warrior
to perceive with all the human possibilities of perception
implies a colossal task and an unbending purpose;
to transcend the intellect and to embody the concept
of breaking the boundaries of historical perception
one needs unlimited pragmatism,
boundless sobriety and guts of steel. don Juan Matus

Today's Wisdom:

Stop, on occasion, to look at the details around you. Sit for a few minutes straight, and just watch. It's amazing the other world you remind yourself of.

Today's Wisdom:

Remember that time is variable. Change your focus of time in the same way you change your focus of vision, and all the sudden your shift is over and you get to go home! WOO HOO!

No more painters, no more scribblers, no more musicians, no more sculptors, no more religions, no more royalists, no more radicals, no more imperialists, no more anarchists, no more socialists, no more communists, no more proletariat, no more democrats, no more republicans, no more bourgeois, no more aristocrats, no more arms, no more police, no more nations, an end at last to all this stupidity, nothing left, nothing at all, nothing, nothing.
