eutheism

here i collect positive thoughts and imagery in hopes of conditioning my scattered brain waves to absorb calming spirituality that usually manages to elude me. it also balances out my main blog listed below which is a morbid, polar opposite of everything here.

Perhaps the most important thing we bring to another person is the silence in us, not the sort of silence that is filled with unspoken criticism or hard withdrawal. The sort of silence that is a place of refuge, of rest, of acceptance of someone as they are. We are all hungry for this other silence. It is hard to find. In its presence we can remember something beyond the moment, a strength on which to build a life. Silence is a place of great power and healing.

If you cry because the sun has gone out of your life, your tears will prevent you from seeing the stars.

Rabindranath Tagore (via ichbindeinesylvia)

Wisdom cannot be imparted. Wisdom that a wise man attempts to impart always sounds like foolishness to someone else … Knowledge can be communicated, but not wisdom. One can find it, live it, do wonders through it, but one cannot communicate and teach it.

everything becomes Sacred.

People cannot even fulfill the simplest of their longings, so, allow me to do it for them. I am not as incapable as the world is.

In this way the aspiring Bodhisattva of compassion should always think and act. (via mgibsonian)
