"Quiet the mind 🧠
Open the heart." ❤️

You start to love that which you can love and just keep expanding it.

You love a tree 🌳
You love a river 💧
You love a leaf 🍃
You love a flower 🌼
You love a cat 🐈
You love a human 👨

But go deeper and deeper into that love.

Til you love that which is the source of the light behind all of it. Behind all of it." 🔥

-Ram Dass

"There is this moment

The sounds
The sensations
Feelings
Just this moment.

You don’t see the centre because it's all centre.

So experience the centre, starting from your heart.

And in concentric circles, including the entire city, all coming out from your heart.

All coming into your heart."

~Ram Dass and David Starfire - The Centre.

Unfortunately you are correct that the majority of the human race is just plodding along doing the same thing.

I would like to add a positive spin to it, though.

Long story short, Alan Watts.

I read "The Book: On the Taboo Against Knowing Who You Are"in college. It opened me up to possibilities and a different way of looking at things. Lots happened.

About 15 years later my first sponsor in a 12-step program was a beautiful human, trans man and big fan of Ram Dass.

I moved so lost conact with him, but started listening to & talks as podcasts. Added in pods and started reading the .

"What I Learned from my Teachers"
2023

Buddha figured out suffering.

Lao Tzu, the nature of the universe

Jesus, how to treat your neighbor

Hinduism, that life is a dance

Zen, that it's a game of nothingness

Neem Karoli Baba, Love. Serve. Remember.

Ram Dass, Be Here Now

I felt this way as well when I started on my journey.

“All I personally felt was this tremendous pull toward Buddhism because Hinduism always seemed a little gauche—the paintings were a little too gross—the colors were bizarre and the whole thing was too melodramatic and too much emotion. I was pulling toward that clean, crystal-clear simplicity of the Southern Buddhists or the Zen Buddhists.”

“And Madison and I turned on together and I looked at Madison, and there we were, the same human beings. It was just that he was wearing that skin and I was wearing this skin. And it was no more or less than that. It was that shirt and this shirt and it had no more relevance than that. And I looked at that and suddenly there we were, whereas before I had been so busy with my super-liberal reaction to color of skin, that I couldn’t relax enough to share this unitive place.”

Intro

I'm an IT project manager, Beatles fanatic, avid reader ( ), social democrat, NBA fan, productivity tool nerd, and spiritual seeker.

Not a huge fan of capitalist society. I believe that everyone should have access to free healthcare and education as basic human rights.
