If you live in Austin, TX..let’s get together next week!



bodhisattva-belladonna:

My creative juices have been seriously flowing lately, I can’t stop drawing on everything.

The ‘here’ is everywhere, and the now always. Go beyond the ‘I-am-the-body’ idea and you will find that space and time are in you and not you in space and time. Once you have understood this, the main obstacle to realization is removed.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj (via lazyyogi)

I’m an emotional person—I feel things, and I need to be able to get upset and to talk about how I’m feeling. I mean, that’s just.. that’s who I am, and I can’t change it. I don’t want to. And the thing is, you knew that. You knew it, and you still pursued me, because you want something with me. You just aren’t strong enough to have it.. which, in a way, makes you a coward. And the saddest part is that one day you’re going to wake up and you’re going to realize what you missed. And it’s going to be too late.
Felicity (via middlenameconfused)

*Oh, when people sit at their mom’s houses, jobless, a couple decades older than you, lonely, drunk and talk about how they feel sorry for you and hope you find your way. While you sit at your apartment with your pets and loved ones, finishing the album art for an up and coming band, happy that graphic design is your soon to be degree and you have this badass resume to show once you graduate.

Namaste to all, even the dickheads





Madness is a gift. If you keep in control of it, it’s the best friend you’ll ever have.

Our heads are round so thought can change direction.
Allen Ginsberg (via darbari)

The left hand is caught and the right hand pulls it out. The left hand turns to the right and says ‘thank you.’ It doesn’t work because they are both part of the same body. Who are you thanking? You’re thanking yourself. So that on that plane you realize it’s not her suffering, his suffering, or their suffering. You go up one level, it’s our suffering. You go up another level, it’s my suffering. Then as it gets de-personalized, it’s ‘the’ suffering. Out of the identity with ‘the’ suffering comes ‘the’ compassion. It arises in relationship to the suffering. It’s part and parcel of the whole package. There is nothing personal in this at all. In that sense, you have become compassion instead of doing compassionate acts. Instead of being compassionate, you are compassion.
Ram Dass (via nirvikalpa)

Letting go gives us freedom, and freedom is the only condition for happiness. If, in our heart, we still cling to anything - anger, anxiety, or possessions - we cannot be free.

I will work on myself, since the work on myself is going to be the highest thing I can do for it all, since I understand that as man up-levels his own consciousness, he sees more creative solutions to the problems that he’s confronting.
Ram Dass (via nirvikalpa)

Resting in the openness of meditation is such a wonderful feeling. It is like rock-climbing; you’re almost reaching the top of the rock face and decide to take a break by sitting on your harness in mid-air.
There is a deep serene calm that surrounds you as you look down at the green forest canopy and around at the marvellous beauty of Nature through the lens of joy. Your mind stops chattering and you ease into the stillness of the great flow of life.
This is a homecoming back to the purity of your true nature where the rooms are spacious enough to accommodate all of your happiness and sadness.
Meditation helps you to see from an elevated state of consciousness and as a result, turns everything OK.
