If you read or listen to the news. Remember to take a break and take time to reflect on what you are feeling. With how the world is so connected now more than ever, it’s too easy to get too much information, especially if you don’t act on it, it just becomes entertainment, and many times like a horror film, not healthy consistently (or maybe at all). So when people say touch grass, they mean with your mind too. Come back to the reality you live in, to the earth we all share and you do what you can to preserve the peace and health of yourself and those around you. #photography #mindfullness #news #nature

We don’t give up our power when we vote, but share it with the elected one. Lest we forget, you can remove that power from the elected one if that one abuses it. Do not be deceived that somehow your power has been removed, and one of the most peaceful way of doing this is by opting out of that system. #photography #politics #bitcoin

It said by those who are enlightened that once you understand how karma is a function to your enlightenment, you would not want to go back in time to fix anything. That the universe is unfolding perfectly, even though we may not understand how there can be so much suffering if that is true. But without the suffering you had in your life, you may have never gotten to be enlightened. There’s a good scene in the Matrix that reminds me of that scene where Cypher says “Ignorance is bliss” and how he wanted to forget the truth and go back to the illusion. Almost like time travelling. (I was lucky enough to get in the Delorean to see the real thing, but never took it to 88🙂) #photography #philosophy #mindfulness #ramdass

You are more profound, more richer, than any story line. What you experience and even choose in your life is the story you are building. But you are not the story, nor the pages of the book you believe might be your body. Delight in life, knowing it is both beautiful, but temporary. But no worries, when your book closes, the author still remains. #photography #philosophy #mindfulness #ramdass

Enlightenment requires you to sacrifice your own suffering. Not everyone is ready to do this, but when you are, you’ll start to use it as a tool towards leaving who you think you are that is suffering… to who you really are. #photography #philosophy #mindfulness #ramdass

Makes sense when you think of an algorithm building in layers. Feeding you is layer one, getting you to think a certain way layer two, getting you to act in a way layer three… which layer do you find yourself aware of enough to control still? View quoted note →
