There is not a stream of badness and a stream of goodness,
or sickness or wellness.
There is only a Stream of Well-being.
The question that you’re wanting to ask yourself is,
“In this moment, am I letting it in or not?
Am I allowing it or am I not?”
Abraham/Hicks American motivational speaker.
What if I were to allow my inner weather to become a Weather Report? Think of it this way: the tides of my life, the ebb and flow of my emotional weather, can tell me how I am at any moment – happy or desperate, discouraged, outraged or quiet. Two hours ago I was tense and anxious. Now I am pensive and relaxed. What will I be next? Everything changes, so if I have a little patience my moods and attitudes will change too.
Aha! A Weather Report! That’s the point! To see, to take stock of my inner weather, just as I would with a glance out my window as I plan my day. Not to judge or complain, not to accuse or deny. Let my inner weather tell me how I am.
Patty De Llosa, Blogpost, “I Am Always Here,” said the Sun
When the mind is utterly still,
without any movement of desire or comparison, there is joy
– not the joy of achievement, but joy without cause
Krisnamurti, The Book of Life: Daily Meditations
The unhappy person is one who has his ideal,
the content of his life, the fullness of his consciousness,
the essence of his being,
in some manner outside of himself.
Kierkegaard, Either/Or
Be strong then, and enter into your own body; there you have a solid place for your feet.
Kabir says this:
just throw away all thoughts of imaginary things,
and stand firm in that which you are.
Kabir, 1398 – 1518, I said to the wanting-creature inside me
Suffering arises when we say ‘this is me, this is mine.’
Release comes when we see: there is no owner, only the flow of experience.
