God pours life into death and death into life without a drop being spilled.
I can change almost everything. But I can’t change human nature… – Watchmen
God has no religion. – Gandhi
Noi ne-am pierdut facand, gandind, amintindu-ne, anticipand, ne-am pierdut intr-un labirint al complexitatii. Noi am uitat ceea ce pietrele, plantele, animalele inca stiu. Noi am uitat cum sa fim, sa fim linistiti, sa fim acolo unde este viata: aici, acum. – Eckhart Tolle
Life knows only one moment, and that is the present. Life knows only one space, and that is here. Now and here: these two words are the most significant words in the human language; they represent reality. This moment, here and now, is the time to taste life.
Everything in existence is unique, incomparable. This is God’s love, his respect to his creation, and if we understand this then great respect and great love arise towards oneself and all self-condemnation disappears.
A deep felt gratitude is that this Existence would have been missing something without you, that this vast Existence needed you, no one else. And that your place was empty before you and will be empty after you. The whole Existence needs you, otherwise you would not have been here!
Existence is not indifferent to you. It may not care the way you want to be cared for, but it still cares in its own way. And what you expect may not really be your need, it may be just the opposite. Existence really fulfills your needs, not your likes and dislikes, not your wants, but your real, true, authentic needs are always taken care of. Existence cannot be indifferent to you: you are part of it. To be indifferent to you will mean it is indifferent to itself, that is impossible. Existence would have disappeared long ago if it was so.
There has been a great misunderstanding between life and time. Time is thought to be consisting of three tenses: past, present, future — which is wrong. Time consists only of past and future. It is life which consists of the present. So those who want to live, for them there is no other way than to live this moment. Only the present is existential.
Life is its own purpose; it is not a means to some end, it is an end unto itself. The bird on the wing, the rose in the wind, the sun rising in the morning, the stars in the night, a man falling in love with a woman, a child playing on the street…there is no purpose. Life simply enjoying itself, delighting in itself. Energy overflowing, dancing, for no purpose at all!
