Quote of the Day – January 3 2012
“To live for some future goal is shallow. It’s the sides of the mountain that sustain life, not the top.”
— Robert M Pirsig
I wish to be enlightened. I wish to be rich. I wish to be loved. Then learn, then earn, then love. Enjoy the journey. The destination seems always out of reach. Perhaps any goal worth achieving resembles a mathematical limit in that sense, always approaching, never there. I like that. I want to enjoy each moment along the way. Life seems to happen in those moments. If we see, even our mistakes as milestones on the way there, then we honour them. I needed to screw up before I could achieve..In that case, was it a screw up or a way station? I guess no real tragedies exist then do they? Only pieces of our path. Namaste, G

Baby Steps into the Infinite by G A Rosenberg
Quote of the Day – January 2 2012
“When I had nothing to lose, I had everything. When I stopped being who I am, I found myself.”
–Paulo Coelho
How do I define myself? What makes me me? Each definition will be but another onion skin layer. I unreal each one slowly for each one while true remains true in the same way that the blind man’s elephant was very much like a tree trunk? Or was it like a fan? Or a snake? In other words, any definition or description I could give of myself would at most expose part of me leaving the rest undescribed or unexplained. Would I tell you a mythical most important part? Perhaps to my mind. In all probability I tell you the part I want you to see. I describe endlessly the parts of myself that I most want to identify with. Too bad they also tend to be the most illusory. Part of that house of cards, tower aspect I like to talk about. It is a part I use more to conceal than I do to reveal. But what if I could surrender that part, give it up. Ah, then something real may finally show through. Namaste, G

Eyes in the Buddha’s Electric Garden by G A Rosenberg
Quote of the Day – January 1 2012
“If you take history on this planet at starting at midnight…then it is now 8 o’clock in the morning, and it’s time for us to wake up, because we’ve been operating on auto-pilot up until now.
And there are signs of planetary awakening. Domesticated primate psychology [humanity] is pretty much the same as it was in the paleolithic. But one sees increasing evidence of mutations.
There was only one Buddha 2500 years ago, now you meet 5-10 buddhas at every city you go to.
Knowledge wherever it’s discovered is traveling over the whole world faster and faster.”
–Robert Anton Wilson
And here we are:
2012
is upon us. May this year be one filled with blessings, joy, fun and enchantment for all. May growth happen according to the highest intent of each’s spirit. May love find us all from within and without assuming that there is a difference between the two. Namaste G
