It__ so interesting how transparency works. Not only can you see yourself when you open, relax, show up fully, and allow vulnerability to be natural, but that empowers others to see more of you__nd of themselves. On the other hand, when you__e open, exposed, and undefended without even trying, you can see through layers of interference or illusions of opacity in people and situations that used to stop you. You have Superman__ X-ray vision!" __rom Transparency: Seeing Through to Our Expanded Human Capacity

Transparency: Seeing Through to Our Expanded Human Capacity

"

THE CONSCIOUSNESS IS THE ATMAN, THE SOUL.The first meaning is: in this world, only consciousness is yours. The word atman means: that which is your own. Regardless of how much the rest may appear to you as your own, it is alien. All of that which you otherwise claim as yours _ friends, loved ones, family, wealth, fame, high position, a great empire _ it is all a deception. Because one day death will snatch it all away from you. So death is the criterion for determining who is your own and who is the stranger. That which death can separate you from, know that it didn__ belong to you, and that which it can__, was indeed your own.

Bliss: Living beyond happiness and misery

"

An age cannot bind itself and ordain to put the succeeding one into such a condition that it cannot extend its (at best very occasional) knowledge , purify itself of errors, and progress in general enlightenment. That would be a crime against human nature, the proper destination of which lies precisely in this progress and the descendants would be fully justified in rejecting those decrees as having been made in an unwarranted and malicious manner..

An Answer to the Question: What Is Enlightenment?

"

Pico Iyer: __nd at some point, I thought, well, I__e been really lucky to see many, many places. Now, the great adventure is the inner world, now that I__e spent a lot of time gathering emotions, impressions, and experiences. Now, I just want to sit still for years on end, really, charting that inner landscape because I think anybody who travels knows that you__e not really doing so in order to move around__ou__e traveling in order to be moved. And really what you__e seeing is not just the Grand Canyon or the Great Wall but some moods or intimations or places inside yourself that you never ordinarily see when you__e sleepwalking through your daily life. I thought, there__ this great undiscovered terrain that Henry David Thoreau and Thomas Merton and Emily Dickinson fearlessly investigated, and I want to follow in their footsteps.
