On truth, magic, and the courage to stop pretending.
I don’t understand, I is not there to understand.
Understanding is coming back to the boundaries of physicality.
I am not the body; this body is particle.
The body doesn’t have me. I have a body.
If I want to, when I want to.
It is just one medium you can express in.
Medium is the message; it is not the identity.
Medium can change.
You are a spiritual entity behind the manifestations.
You will find different mediums to express it.
The medium can be silence. The medium can be light.
The medium can be silence — declaration of love without words.
Unarmed eyes.
There is a lot of intimacy in never speaking.
Sharing the silence.
You don’t share silence by projecting it, you share silence by remaining it.
The world around you is beautiful if you are at peace with the world within.
Abundance is seeing that what is here is enough.
I don’t have and I don’t lack.
Everything I lose creates space for something I need.
You kinda owe it to yourself to do all the things you’ve dreamed of.
Taking action despite uncertainty is magic.
What you see at the end of the work is magic.
You wish for a star and be given a galaxy.
Fuck normal, I want magic, magic is walking on the pathless path.
Humans are designed to create. This is why you get depressed when all you do is consume.
Creative time is never wasted time.
The intimacy is being understood.
You are becoming all that you have dreamed of.
Be careful what you dream of.
For the dreamer, reality is unknown.
If you are aware of your dream, then only it manifests.
If it is popular, it is not culture.
Real culture begins with one person.
Making something they love too much to dilute.
The crowd only arrives later, when it is safe.
Protect what’s rare.
People will always have perceptions about you and they will offer free advice.
Popular advice is usually wrong.
If it actually worked, everyone would be free.
So much is spoken about freedom and democracy. And yet we feel trapped in our own country, in our own world.
We are busy finding belonging on Mars.
Shall we not belong to the self.
Most self help isn’t healing you. It’s teaching you how to tolerate the life you secretly hate.
If your spiritual practice makes you calm all the time, you’re probably avoiding something.
Awareness is uncomfortable first.
Stay positive is terrible advice.
Sometimes you are not positive. Sometimes something is just wrong. Fix it.
We don’t have a motivation problem, we have a distraction problem.
Tired people are easy to control.
And there is an easy way to live free, especially when you are tired.
Let go!
This economy and the setting we agreed to live in demand.
It demands you demand attention.
It demands you be someone you are not.
Stop trying to be special, just stop pretending.
Most people never even get that far.
You are a miracle the way you are. There is no one other like you.
Not even your twins.
Truth doesn’t feel inspiring.
It usually feels inconvenient.
That’s how you know it’s real.
That said, your first instinct is usually right.
If your mind is cluttered with conditioning, it impairs decision.
If you can’t think clearly, walk.
Step back and let gravity do its work.
And then there is this idea of sanitised love we fall for. Filmy.
Choosing not to argue with people who are committed to misunderstanding you is self care.
Sometimes you need to stop seeing the good in people and start seeing what they show you.
Unconditional love doesn’t mean unconditional tolerance, unlearn that.
Forgive yourself for not knowing earlier what only time could teach you.
What we really want is not accumulation.
How much are you going to carry?
The flow is enough. You experience something wholeheartedly and let it go.
It is preservation of beauty. If you hold tight to a butterfly, it will die.
Let beauty change hands so that it can survive.
Emotional disclosure creates stronger bonds than physical proximity.
Everything is a win if your goal is to experience.
The amount of good things in your life depends on your ability to notice them.
When imagination returns, it means we are back in our body.
We romanticise imagination. It is understood to be a trait of a creative person.
The artist is not a special kind of person, rather each person is a special kind of artist.
All art is confession in some kind of way.
The real confession happens when reality lands in front of you on canvas.
Not in the boxes. But in the letters to yourself.
Letters work like prayers — once sent, they’re out of your hands.
Nothing left in your hands. Empty.
Nothing belongs to you, what are you afraid to lose?
Whatever comes is bound to go.
The money is replaced. The energy is replaced.
The body is replaced and so are you.
You don’t even own yourself to lose yourself.
There is nothing to lose.
This moment doesn’t belong to you, because there is no moment.
The moment is gone even before you say MO.
We need to get out of the notion of being spiritual too.
The saint who bleeds is trusted more than the one floating above the ground.
Ease is not the absence of challenge, ease is the absence of internal warfare.
You will not make a space for you in the world until you feel uncomfortable.
Slow fire cooks better food, fast fire burns the pan.
You are not liking the song, you need to dance.
May you move at the speed your body agrees to, not the speed the world demands.
“If you choose not to find joy in the snow, you will have less joy, but the same amount of snow.”
— (Ancient proverb)
There will always be waves of thoughts and ripples of emotions in the mind.
You can’t stop the waves but you can learn how to surf.
You may predict the future, looking at the winds. You know which direction they will flow.
But you will never know the future. This life is a constant plunge into the unknown.
But it works out. It unfolds anyway, not in the way you anticipated.
I just have a crazy faith that everything is gonna work out for me.
You are losing the past and the future both in the very moment.
Past is past. And the mystery of the future is resolving itself in this moment.
It does two things at a time and yet remains nothing. Non-dual.
Everything I lose creates space for something I need.
Abundance is seeing that what is here is enough.
The world around you is beautiful if you are at peace with the world within.
Step back and let gravity do its work.
