WORDS OF WISDOM by WISE MEN FOR YOU TO PONDER ON

Here is a road from the eye to the heart that does not go through the intellect.
G. K. Chesterton


We do not understand that life is paradise, for it suffices only to wish to understand it, and at once paradise will appear in front of us in its beauty.
Fyodor Dostoyevsky


The unconscious mind is decidedly simple, unaffected, straightforward, and honest. It hasn’t got all of this façade, this veneer of what we call adult culture. It’s rather simple, rather childish. It’s direct and free.
Milton H. Erikson

Perfection is sure DEATH.
Hugh Prather



Men who wish to know about the world must learn about its particular details.
Herakleitos

Let go over a cliff, die completely, and then come back to life --- after that you cannot be deceived.
Zen saying


I feel that my boat has bumped, there at the bottom, into something big. And nothing happens! Or has everything happened, and we are already at rest, in something new?
Juan Ramon Jimenez


When it is cold, water freezes into ice; when it’s warm, ice melts into water. Similarly, when you’re confused, essence freezes into mind; when you are enlightened, mind melts into essence.
Muso Kokushi
