(Alexandro Garcia)

"When the thunder roars, do you not hear your Self? When the lightening cracks, do you not see your Self? When clouds float quietly across the sky, is this not your very own limitless Being, waving back at you?"

— Ken Wilber

If we go out into the woods and we look at all the trees, we don’t say, “I wish that oak tree were an elm.” Somehow, we can allow trees to be what they are; we can grant that each tree is perfect just the way it is. But when it comes to people, if everybody isn’t the way we think they ought to be, all hell breaks loose!

Everybody is always doing the best they can, it’s all perfect. There are all these strands of the universe, weaving back and forth, interacting with one another. In each individual manifestation, those strands have woven themselves together in a unique way so as to produce yet another perfect statement of the unstable.

So, someone comes to you, she’s hung up, uptight, and angry. You see the perfection in that. You say, “Far out! There’s God as an angry person. You weird manifestation of God, you.” Give each incarnation the space to manifest exactly as it needs to manifest.

"If you could only keep quiet, clear of memories and expectations, you would be able to discern the beautiful pattern of events. It’s your restlessness that causes chaos."

— Nisargadatta Maharaj


"If I have lost confidence in myself, I have the universe against me."

— Ralph Waldo Emerson

"There was a wall in a village that existed for ages, and many tried to climb it but few succeeded. Those who had climbed it saw something beyond, smiled, climbed over the wall and never returned. The people of the town began to wonder what magic could be there and what attraction, that whoever climbed over the wall never returned. So they said, “We must send someone who can reach the top, but we must tie him with a rope to hold him back.” When the man they had sent reached the top of the wall, he smiled and tried to jump over it, but they pulled him back. When the people asked, “What did you see there?” he could not answer, he could only smile."

— Hazrat Inayat Khan


"The person who makes all cares into one care
the care for simply staying present
will be cared for by that presence
which is creative love."

Why do you take by force that which you could obtain by love?
