Ontogeny Recapitulates Phylogeny.

[Guest guest]

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is

that we are

powerful beyond measure. Is our light, not our darkness, that most

frightens us.

We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?

Actually, who are you not to be. You are a child of God. Your playing

small

doesn't serve the world. There's nothing enlightened about shrinking

so that

other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as

children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is

within us.

It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light

shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same.

As we're

liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.

 

-- (Nelson Mandela, 1994 Inaugural Speech)

Our Deepest Fear was used in Nelson Mandela's speech, but it was

written by

Marianne Williamson. You can find it in her book " A Return to Love:

Reflections

on the Principles of a Course in Miracles, " pages 190-191, 1992

publishing.

Meditation is not just clearing your mind,

as much as being totally involved in the moment.

Meditation is not the absence of thought,

but the absence of ego.

The number one killer is a damaged ego,

It used to be: Being eaten by animals.

The number two killer is a bad diet,

It used to be: Having bad teeth.

The third cause of death is Taxes,

That's still the same.

You have three choices. Two of them are Life and Death.

Dying is like Living, but more Dramatic.

The Third choice is Giving.

May you Give all the Days of your Life.

" Reality is merely an illusion, albeit a very persistent one. "

" Sometimes one pays most for the things one gets for nothing. "

" Common sense is the collection of prejudices acquired by age eighteen "

" Education is what remains after one has forgotten everything he

learned in school. "

 

" He who joyfully marches to music rank and file, has already earned my

contempt.

He has been given a large brain by mistake, since for him the spinal

cord would

surely suffice. This disgrace to civilization should be done away with

at once.

Heroism at command, how violently I hate all this, how despicable and

ignoble

war is; I would rather be torn to shreds than be a part of so base an

action. It

is my conviction that killing under the cloak of war is nothing but an

act of

murder. "

 

" A human being is a part of a whole, called by us 'universe', a part

limited in

time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings as

something

separated from the rest... a kind of optical delusion of his

consciousness. This

delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal

desires and

to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free

ourselves

from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all

living

creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty. "
