"Gratuitous grace" is an appropriate theological term, because the psychedelic (literally ‘mind manifesting’) mystical experience can lead to a profound sense of inspiration, reverential awe, and humility, perhaps partially as a result of the realization that the experience is a gift and not particularly earned or deserved.

— Walter Norman Pahnke

The world we see that seems so insane is the result of a belief system that is not working. To perceive the world differently, we must be willing to change our belief system, let the past slip away, expand our sense of now, and dissolve the fear in our minds.

— William James

Still

I felt in need of a great pilgrimage so I sat still for three days.

― Hafiz, from Arabic حافظ‎ (ḥāfiẓ, “guardian, keeper”) or Khwāje Shams-od-Dīn Moḥammad Ḥāfeẓ-e Shīrāzī (Persian: خواجه شمس‌‌الدین محمّد حافظ شیرازی), known by his pen name Hafez (حافظ, Ḥāfeẓ, 'the memorizer; the (safe) keeper'; 1325–1390)

"Don't know much about history"

Or prehistory for what it worths

Yet they shape lives and belief systems

And permeate every aspect of the Life

So pregnantly that they veil the truth.

Similarly — what we take at face value —

What we call life, our history and legend,

Veils what we truly are

Amanda Sage

We are all beautiful source fractals that cannot be created or destroyed

The greater part of us exists in a non-localized field of primordial sentience that transcends the confines of the mind, matter, space and time. We are momentarily experiencing ourselves as ‘human beings’ (unique vantage points of consciousness) in order to experience a world of contrast, limitation, and disconnectedness.

 

We had temporarily forgotten the deeper reality of our Infinite Self & went on an imaginary, fun-filled vacation away from our unbroken, homogenous wholeness (an ego-trip via a human avatar).  By playing this Cosmic Hide and Seek Game, we had turned ourselves inside out & entered into a scary, funhouse filled with unlimited and unfolding possibilities.

Il faut que je m'en aille

Still — a here-life system Addict —

Going to the Addicts Anonymous circle

Which is a karma wheel

Where wagons are round up

To protect us from the savages

The ones daring to live by the Law of Nature

The circle is a Crabe-tambour

A disease

And I sit at its head

I chair

"Il faut que je m’en aille (les retrouvailles)"

Graeme Allwright on Volume 2 (Le jour de clarté) 

[Couplet 1]

Le temps est loin de nos vingt ans

Des coups de poings, des coups de sang

Mais qu'à c'la n'tienne: c'est pas fini

On peut chanter quand le verre est bien rempli

[Refrain]

Buvons encore une dernière fois

À l'amitié, l'amour, la joie

On a fêté nos retrouvailles

Ça m'fait d'la peine, mais il faut que je m'en aille

[Couplet 2]

Et souviens-toi de cet été

La première fois qu'on s'est saoulé

Tu m'as ramené à la maison

En chantant, on marchait à reculons

[Refrain]

Buvons encore une dernière fois

À l'amitié, l'amour, la joie

On a fêté nos retrouvailles

Ça m'fait d'la peine, mais il faut que je m'en aille

[Couplet 3]

Je suis parti changer d'étoile

Sur un navire, j'ai mis la voile

Pour n'être plus qu'un étranger

Ne sachant plus très bien où il allait

[Refrain]

Buvons encore une dernière fois

À l'amitié, l'amour, la joie

On a fêté nos retrouvailles

Je m'ennuie pas, mais il faut que je m'en aille

[Couplet 4]

J't'ai raconté mon mariage

À la mairie d'un p'tit village

Je rigolais dans mon plastron

Quand le maire essayait d'prononcer mon nom

[Refrain]

Buvons encore une dernière fois

À l'amitié, l'amour, la joie

On a fêté nos retrouvailles

Ça m'fait d'la peine, mais il faut que je m'en aille

[Couplet 5]

J'n'ai pas écrit toutes ces années

Et toi aussi, t'es mariée

T'as trois enfants à faire manger

Mais j'en ai cinq, si ça peut te consoler

[Refrain]

Buvons encore une dernière fois

À l'amitié, l'amour, la joie

On a fêté nos retrouvailles

Ça m'fait d'la peine, mais il faut que je m'en aille

Freedom begins with the Realization that we are not 'the Thinker.'

The Moment we start Watching the Thinker, a Higher Level of Consciousness becomes Activated. We then begin to realize that there is a Vast Realm of Intelligence Beyond thought, that thought is Only a Tiny Aspect of that Intelligence. We also Realize that All the things that Truly matter ― Beauty, Creativity, Inner, Joy, PeaceLove ― Arise from Beyond the Mind. We Begin to Truly Awaken.

 ― Eckhart Tolle

The world which we perceive is a tiny fraction of the world which we can perceive, which is a tiny fraction of the perceivable world.

 ― Terence McKenna

We cannot suffer the past or future because they do not exist.

Memory creates a hallucination of the past, desire creates a hallucination of the future.

Time and space are just a creation of the mind, projections of consciousness.

Once we touch a dimension which is boundless, the idea of time and space disappears.
