The universe is made up of experiences that are designed to burn out our reactivity, which is our attachment, our clinging, to pain, to pleasure, to fear, to all of it. And as long as there are places where we’re vulnerable, the universe will find ways to confront us with them. That’s the way the dance is designed.
answers go backwards heads on slants
questions go see-through left unanswered
now that everybody started to dance now we all dance
You don’t need any methods to get rid of the wrong ideas you have about yourself. All you have to do is stop believing them. The best way to do this is to replace them with ideas that more accurately reflect the real state of affairs.
entre la nuit, la nuit et l’aurore.
entre les voyants, les vivants et les morts.
if this is heaven
i need something more
When your consciousness withdraws still more deeply, into superconsciousness, then you are centered in bliss, in the spine. In that bliss-state you are aware in the causal body, the soul.
the lights and the music
the smell and the taste the devil is downtown
it’s a hell of a place
and if you’re searching
if your looking for a change
go where you can see the stars
and they don’t seem so far away
Am I the ocean? It is too small, A dream dewdrop on the azure blades of space. Am I the sky? It is too small, A lake in the bosom of eternity. Am I eternity? It is too small, Framed in a name. In the vast region of namelessness I love to dwell, Beyond limits of dreams, names, conceptions. I am what I am always — In the ever-present past, In the ever-present future, In the ever-present now.
here’s what we know
we don’t know what we’ve got or if we’ve got it
and what we had, we already forgot it
the race is evidently to the bottom
we don’t, we don’t, we don’t know what to say don’t know what it was but we want it back
In the state of love, no matter what you do, it’s going to be good.
decisions as i go, to anywhere i flow
sometimes i believe, at times where i should know
i can fly high, i can go long
today i got a million, tomorrow, i don’t know
decisions as i go, to anywhere i flow
sometimes i believe, at times where i should know
i can fly high, i can go long today i got a million, tomorrow, i don’t know

If in our daily life we can smile, if we can be peaceful and happy, not only we, but everyone will profit from it. This is the most basic kind of peace work.
got my hands on the wheel
got my foot on the pedal
gonna drive ’til i drop
’til the tires turn to metal
gonna sleep when i’m dead
gonna laugh like the devil gonna find some place where no one knows me
First of all, you need to know that an emotion is only that—an emotion—even though it may be a big, strong one. You are so much bigger, so much more than this emotion.
A friend endowed with these seven qualities is worth associating with. He gives what is beautiful, hard to give, does what is hard to do, endures painful, ill-spoken words. His secrets he tells you, your secrets he keeps. When misfortunes strike, he doesn’t abandon you; when you’re down & out, doesn’t look down on you. A person in whom these traits are found, is a friend to be cultivated by anyone wanting a friend.
when the sun shines, we’ll shine together
told you i’d be here forever
said i’ll always be a friend
took an oath i’ma stick it out ’til the end
now that it’s raining more than ever
know that we’ll still have each other
you can stand under my umbrella you can stand under my umbrella
(ella ella eh eh eh)
