Suddenly you’re ripped into being alive. And life is pain, and life is suffering, and life is horror, but my god you’re alive and its spectacular. Joseph Campbell (via jaimelannister) Saturday Jun 6 @ 04:43pm

To hold our tongues when everyone is gossiping, to smile without hostility at people and institutions, to compensate for the shortage of love in the world with more love in small, private matters; to be more faithful in our work, to show greater patience, to forgo the cheap revenge obtainable from mockery and criticism: all these are things we can do. Hermann Hesse (via slychedelic) Wednesday May 5 @ 05:15pm

Owning our story can be hard but not nearly as difficult as spending our lives running from it. Embracing our vulnerabilities is risky but not nearly as dangerous as giving up on love and belonging and joy—the experiences that make us the most vulnerable. Only when we are brave enough to explore the darkness will we discover the infinite power of our light. Brené Brown (via buddhistwitchery) Wednesday May 5 @ 11:27am

I believe we are a species with amnesia, I think we have forgotten our roots and our origins. I think we are quite lost in many ways. And we live in a society that invests huge amounts of money and vast quantities of energy in ensuring that we all stay lost. A society that invests in creating unconsciousness, which invests in keeping people asleep so that we are just passive consumers of products and not really asking any of the questions. Graham Hancock (via midnightlaughs) Friday Apr 4 @ 10:47pm

Life without memory is no life at all… Our memory is our coherence, our reason, our feeling, even our action. Without it we are nothing. Luis Buñuel, An Unspeakable Betrayal, translation by Garrett White (via frenchtwist) Monday Apr 4 @ 10:24pm
