Keep the exquisite balance between not enough and too much.

If you drive through life with narrow beam headlights and no rear view mirror, your view of the world will be relatively dumb.

Instead of believing in the light, see the light. Instead of interpreting the light, embody the light.

Researchers who are trapped in a certain paradigm will not be able to design research to disprove that paradigm.

Coming from the highest level going to the deepest level passing through the impasse.

Being able to see things as they are is of the utmost importance.

Can you become God in one breath?

Without some kind of feedback there is no consciousness

From infancy or early childhood, we learn that to keep our life we have to do anti-life things. Then we introject anti-life views as correct.

Real intelligence includes both the hyper-obvious and the incredibly obscure. It does not take the "given" as given.

Many people who exude great and impressive intelligence on the surface have this intelligence built on a deeper primitive layer of irrationality and pre-rationality.

Knowledge without intelligence is meaningless.
Intelligence without consciousness is meaningless.
Consciousness without emptiness is meaningless
Emptiness transcends both meaning and meaninglessness.

Most people live on the tip of the tip of the iceberg

Question absolutely everything. Almost everything is not what you think it is if you really look at it and let it reveal itself. Rest in that which is real and unknowable.

Establishment scientists sometime behave as cult members blindly following multitudes of unconscious, unseen and unacknowledged assumptions about the world.

There is absolutely no reason whatsoever to assume that the universe should be a certain way. (intelligent, stupid, neutral etc) (or assume anything else about the universe.)

I am more interested in ego birth than in ego death.

The who live in facades value facades.
Those who live in shoulds value shoulds.

Who we are is what ultimately supports us

Consciousness is the cloud chamber of the soul

The more a person relies on a mindless, undifferentiated "we" to think, the more primitive the thinking, no matter how sophisticated it sounds. This is different than creating a high level transpersonal "we" that transcends the intelligences of the of the individual members

The extent that someone makes necessary and important contributions and assumes responsibility, to that extent someone should also own. Those who "own" should acknowledge the true ethical ownership of their contributors. Ownership is just a common agreement of who controls and uses what objects.

Conservatives tend to be fine with "mine" or "yours" but have a heard time with "ours" when it includes people who aren't like them

Professions have moved away from trust in judgment and rule of law, to bureaucratization and regulative micromanagement. Control freaks tend to win out. This stifles creativity and necessary risk.

We live in a society that has much good yet in many respects seems bent on wasting peoples time and peoples lives. We need to be able to honestly see what is sick, illogical, and exploitative. We have such a paranoid distrust of our own vital energy. This distrust often hides in our own sugarcoating of, and mythology about it.

One level of being can complement but cannot do the work of another level. Disharmony begins when one part or level of the mind tries to take over the work of another.

That which cannot be made an object is embedded within all objects, outside of time and space

Each psychological and emotional "squelch-line" level creates its own world view.

The subtle and blatant messages from our parents later on become our unconscious core beliefs.

Neurosis is caused by buying into psychosis on some level either internal or external .

The actual organism goes beyond the body to include the surroundings and the corresponding energy fields, both local and non-local. This "entity" extend even further to include other organism-environmental fields which eventually includes the "all-everything" as the one manifested organism. No organism is separate from this; it ultimately is this. Therefore let the organism self-regulate you.

If you see something is full of poison you don't drink from it. (adapted from Alan Hooker)

It is a major human flaw to often interpret things as punitive, as well as to miss subtle things that actually were meant as punitive.

Most people take a very small sampling of the ideas that are actually out there, filter them according to their previous accumulated and filtered small samplings and think they have a good picture of what the world is (or of what part of the world is).

The best way to travel anywhere is to bring all of yourself with you.

Our society in large part is run by the "tyranny of the given".

(The "given" being anything that arises in a person's consciousness (or in a group of person's consciousness) as an obvious given fact, not needing questioning.)

What most people really feel when they say the word "responsible" is not "response-able" but "counter-irresponsible" which is a reaction against their own disowned irresponsibility.

One of the best ways to gauge intelligence is to look at the ability to gauge intelligence

Some people are so busy trying to quell or get rid of ego they don't even bother to explore it directly and find out what it is, and to get to know it

Most people live their lives based on what others have thought through for them.

All legal systems are based on human irrationality dealing with human irrationality.

Rationality is, in part, a by-product of vital life energy flowing outwardly into the world in a healthy manor.

Human individual consciousness includes at least 60 screens (each with its own audience). We get hypnotized into believing that one screen is giving use the whole picture and that the person watching continues through time. The largest space is created when the "watcher" dies in the next moment.

"Anything new and vastly important that has be strongly proven would be on the cover of Time Magazine or the like" is one of the biggest rationalizations of all time.

Small truths are often inflated into big lies. (adapted from someone else)

A conscious businessman caters to peoples higher tastes instead of to their addictive appetites. Continually catering to additive appetites to satisfy money appetites is what is happening predominately in our society and may eventually destroy it. Saying this should or should not be, most often, is a way of avoiding fully seeing and facing the fact of what is.

The highest form of communication is deliberately spontaneous.

I believe the "purpose" of life is to put one's vital life energy into the world.

There are three basic kinds of thinking:

1) When memes, mentalities and conditioning do your thinking for you. (giving the illusion that you are thinking you own thoughts)

2)You are doing your own thinking (and the thinker is the thought)

3)Thoughts are "downloaded", created, formed and blossomed in and from a higher space. (perhaps a higher gauge-symmetry space)

At least 70% of people do predominantly the first kind of thinking.

Beliefs tend to be self-correcting when you fully bring them out into the world

we are taught not to think what we are really thinking
we are taught not to feel what we are really feeling
we are taught not to do what we are really doing
we are taught not to be what we are really being
we are taught not to suffer what we are really suffering
we are taught not to imagine what we are really imagining
we are taught not to want what we really want
we are taught not to need what we really need
we are taught not to value what we really value
we are taught to continue what really discontinues
we are taught to not have a self when we are really "selfing"
we are taught to have a self when there is really no self.
we are taught not to "no-mind" when we are really empty

we never ride the horse in the direction its going

This causes much death, fragmentation and unhealthy suffering

The attempt to be non-violent can be one of the most violent acts you can commit.

You will experience only the change in the self and the world that happens on the level you live on. If you live on the surface level, then a mere surface change will be experienced as extensive and life changing.

You honor me by being exactly the way you are

Every person sees their own straw man when they see you.
Get to know these straw men and understand them.

We mistaken the clouds for the sky.
We mistaken the sky for outer space.
We mistaken outer space for the universe.
We mistaken the universe for the omniverse.
We mistaken the omniverse for what lies beyond.
We don't see that all of these things are but harmonics of what ultimately lies beyond.
Most people only see the clouds of their own making.

"Lack of proof" can often mean: lack of proper inquiry, lack of research, or the existence of much proper but nonsupporting research. When a "pseudo skeptic" uses the phrase it usually means lack of proper inquiry on the part of the skeptic.

Content follows mentality

Homeostasis comes to balance us between comfort and discomfort, between contentment and discontentment, between pleasure and pain, between security and risk, between caring and indifference.

Just because your a scientist doesn't mean you're rational.

The shallow man can never understand the deep man because the shallow man interprets what he hears in to something shallow. (adapted from Bertrand Russel)
