Stray Thoughts

• Make the distinction that it is possible to be happy yet uncontent or unhappy but content; happy is weather, content is climate.
  
  
• Forethought is the beginning of intention ......and intentions prerequisite is forethought.......creating contrived effort, where desires are most prevalent.
  
  
• With the subtile of others actions; it is not what you see and are aware of that is the problem......it is what you do not see; that which you do not think to question that is.
  
  
• of distortion- when the mind reacts upon itself....when emotion of feeling colors reason....when we seek (understanding, acceptance, pleasure, etc) to have or to avoid..........expectations are of minds creation.
  
  
• Hind sight can only point to where to look to the future......only by following this direction threw every present moment can there be progress.
  
  
• realize how you can hold no personal goal of what can only lie within anothers hands ( their personal achievement, being , action, etc.....)
  
  
• there is learning how to do something and then there is learning how to learn...which cannot be taught...for it lies in the understanding of the teaching; it is of the questions you ask.
  
  
• once time passes it is impossible to return to the moment, life is full of times coming and going, simultaneously....gradually fading in and out...The past is unchangeable....the future, unforeseeable......That only leaves me with the now.
  
  
• every thing that has been told to you is not of the truth of your reality until you discover it on your own.
  
  
• confusion exists within minds.........asking to many questions to fast.
  
  
• those who feel they have much to accomplish have ambition... ......those who have accomplished much have patience
  
  
• to give is to make rejection possible; to not give to make acceptance impossible.......in giving you receive
  
  
• situations are all to be laughed at some time in the future
  
  
• to manipulate and control is to repress and bind; creating burden for both
  
  
• true strength comes in the discovery; because it is not just something taken as faith; it is something proven by experience ...mistakes must be made and seen to build a foundation of experience .....not concepts.
  
  
• the stages of acceptance seem to parallel the exhaustion of possibilities.
  
  
• Formation is as important as the goal
  
  
• the hardest and most important thing a person can give; and the easiest to take for granted, is them self.
  
  
• compliments are disarming features, do not listen, they serve no purpose, action will show you all you need to know
  
  
• never ask to much , never ask to little
  
  
• action will show you all you need to know; word mislead
  
  
• Whit a solid understanding of belief; pain, sorrow and misery can become a glue to seal and cement the foundation of your stability (the experience of proven mistakes )
  
  
• when you can see only the good or bad; be assured that a mistake is soon to follow.
  
  
• the hierarchy of needs: as food lies before pleasure, so emotion lies before contentment; as contentment lies before ponderment of the great mysteries.
  
  
• if something is capable of being forgotten, then it is either something of little value , or not yet fully understood (realized)
  
  
• words as summary have little impact, for what in essence lies within the realm of experience............words only encompass direction and path.
  
  
• it is in the present that is the time of transformations..here that it is nearly imperceivable, as slow and gradual as the change of seasons: the passage of time
  
  
• that which is understood only by necessity of action is not the final step, even though it may be a necessary one (even a general first truth).......that which is realized by necessity of feeling, is where it becomes an integral part.
  
  
• it takes patience and a calm mind to see processes at work
  
  
• a part of simplicity of mind is a strong view of reality; one where you do not appease yourself by delusion
  
  
• only rarely is there any actual urgency in situations (if any at all)....only in the desires and fantisful creations of mind.
  
  even when there is that which you lose sight of, it is still recognizable, such there is hope.
  
  
• anger/resentment should not be used as tools or motivation, because they "use" you back in an unbeneficial way.
  
  
• do not forget the momentariness of pleasure
