@The_Whore_of_Blahbylon EVERYONE deserves to be loved. Don't confuse the desire to be loved with actually HAVING that love. What is an illusion is that you can think someone else loves you when you cannot even love yourself. Love yourself. LEARN to love yourself exactly as you are, with all your flaws and your strengths, and you will no longer need someone else to love you.

Every sinful act is another cord woven into that mighty cable of habit, which binds the spirit to the throne of darkness.

@poligraf That hasn't been my experience in the least. In fact, quite the opposite. There is an unrivaled beauty in life that comes from weaving your own tapestry instead of allowing others to dictate a pattern to you.

@eighthourlunch

dictating : that would depend on whether one approaches such statements as potentially descriptive of the nature of things, and thus as pointers, or as prescriptive, and thus as dictates…

my own experience has taught me, and actually still does, that « weaving one's own tapestry » can lead to such a place, and thus i don't see such warnings as dictates, but as helpful pointers, reminders, and/or validations of things i've recognized on my own… unrivaled beauty indeed…

@Gynux I love Bill Hicks. Do you know his one-man shows? If not, then I recommend them. 👍

"All matter is merely energy condensed to a slow vibration, we are all one consciousness experiencing itself subjectively, there is no such thing as death, life is only a dream, and we are the imagination of ourselves."

─ Bill Hicks (1961 - 1994)

This world is so full of hypocrisy, the only way you can be honest is to be a hermit.

@metin @mbt3d sorry, but I will strongly disagree with that. I recognize that I cant change your mind myself, however.

@f4grx @mbt3d Well, OK then, I've changed the post back to a screenshot with Alt text. My conscience is clear now. 😉

You can't find a hermit to teach you herming, because of course that rather spoils the whole thing.

A Ramana Maharshi quote for this Friday night: “The Self cannot be the object of love; it is itself not different from love. Realize that you are the Self.”

The working class and the employing class have nothing in common. There can be no peace so long as hunger and want are found among millions of the working people and the few, who make up the employing class, have all the good things of life. Between these two classes a struggle must go on until the workers of the world organise as a class, take possession of the means of production, abolish the wage system, and live in harmony with the Earth.

-From the IWW (Wobblies) Constitution

“Suddenly I was overcome by a feeling of euphoric hopelessness which passed through my body like a powerful drug and held all my thoughts and all my movements in a dreamy, floating suspension.”
