eighthourlunch, @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.
poligraf, 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…

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

SpiritualBNR, 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.” #SpiritualBNR #spirituality #RamanaMaharshi #quotes #nonduality #Self #Love
ahermitforhire, 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
fionnbharr, “It is the certainty that they possess the truth that makes men cruel.”
― Anatole France
WISTquote, A quotation from Pratchett, Terry:

Never build a dungeon you wouldn’t be happy to spend the night in yourself. The world would be a happier place if more people remembered that.

WillardHerman, “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.”
