Quotes from this message -------------------------------------------
Zen Proverb: “Before enlightenment; chop wood, carry water. After enlightenment; chop wood, carry water.”
Richard Rohr: "Mystery is not that which is unknowable but that which is endlessly knowable”
Parashara: “In the leaf, there are innumerable components. It has a boundary, a colouring matter, a sap inside and they are not visible to the naked eye.”
Joseph Campbell: “Mythology is not a lie, mythology is poetry, it is metaphorical. It has been well said that mythology is the penultimate truth--penultimate because the ultimate cannot be put into words. It is beyond words.”
Attributed to the Buddha: “Imagine someone is trying to show you the moon by pointing at it…don’t mistake the finger for the moon”
Rumi: “You are not a drop in the ocean, you are the ocean in a drop”.
Richard Rohr: “When God is no longer out there or over there, we have begun the mystical journey”
Joseph Campbell: “People say that what we’re all seeking is a meaning for life. I don’t think that’s what we’re really seeking. I think that what we’re seeking is an experience of being alive, so that our life experiences on the purely physical plane will have resonances with our own innermost being and reality, so that we actually feel the rapture of being alive.”
Alan Watts: “The meaning of life is just to be alive. It is so plain and so obvious and so simple. And yet, everybody rushes around in a great panic as if it were necessary to achieve something beyond themselves.”
Frederick Nietzsche: ”Life is not a problem to be solved, but a mystery to be lived.”
Matthew 10:39: “To find your life, you must lose your life”
