Brooding over the future
And repenting the past,
The unwise wither like green reed
Cut down and left in the sun.

'I have had many problems,

most of them never happened',

an old writer said.

Advantages of using a learned language instead of the 'mother tongue' learned at a young age.

The first language we learn as children is more automatic and one is not usually as cautious in its usage as with a different language which was learned. The latter can be used more structurally, like programming, therefore it has to be used with caution and care. It has its advantages even if it may not be as correct grammatically or stylistically.

Work your socks off, sleep little, burn the candle at both ends, struggle and steal a lot, have a fat bank account, buy a beautiful mansion, build an empire.. and die.

Does it make sense?

X: Why do you say people don't care about their children really when they feel they are British or Italian? They do care, you know how much effort does it take to feed a child, earn money to pay for the school, etc.? They work their asses off to make ends meet. They don't have time for playing around..
Y: Wait a moment.. But they feel elation when the national hymn is being played! They feel pride when the tanks are on parade. Is that sane?
They entertain themselves with that organized circus falsely called 'religion'. They have numerous unfounded beliefs. Is that intelligent?
They have conflict in their daily life, the wife and husband quarrel daily, each having their own opinions and desires. Is that normal?

Depression is based on non-functional thinking. Therefore the only cure from depression is to be free from non-functional thinking. It does not mean trying to stop it.

It means perceiving all sound in the brain, at the same time with perceiving light (the whole visual field perceived in the brain) and gravity, also at the same time, right now. And if thoughts happen, perceiving them as well as sounds. It is possible, without effort.

It is instantaneous freedom.

There is no other true cure from depression, only Unitary Perception.

The ways of the world, beauty of the body, money, position, have power over me only if I care about them, if I compare.

Why you don't like exercises? Because they are exercises.. based on effort and control. You're thinking about making 13 of them or 4 series of 15.. instead of just making this one. Just making this one step. Fully, in quality.

Why you don't want to get out of bed and say you are 'depressed'? Because you're thinking about having to do this or that or not having to do that, a whole day of errands, meeting with the boss, arranging a bank loan.. while all you have to do is put ONE LEG OUT of the bed, Just this one step.

Always only this one step. And with the best quality. That is enough.

Someone is telling me there was a discussion on TV about the difference between patriotism and nationalism.

What blocks seeing there is no difference?

Do you want to help keep children safe? See this. Me, my family, my football club, my city, my religion, my company, my country, my opinion, my war..

Great sayings:

What sees is all there is.

- What's the most important thing in life?
- To be nothing.

What happens when nothing happens?

Happiness lies in the extreme of detachment.

The fact is there is no self, no time, only thought.

Eradication of self pity.

Without a perceiver in perception. Complete silence and complete peace of the brain.

Attempt without effort to live with death in futureless silence.

Do we control thought or does thought make us crazy?

Happiness for something is not true happiness.

Tomorrow is the root of fear.

Always say 'yes' to the present moment. What could be more insane than create inner resistance to what already is?

What do you do with your energy?

If you believe you are inside the body, you are deceiving yourself.

Tereska, a concentration camp survivor who lived in a house for emotionally disturbed children, drew scribbles resembling twisted wires when asked to draw 'home'.

What difference does it make if she was a 'Jew' or a 'Pole'?

If you want to help the world, start with helping yourself.

Completely and intelligently: jump to Unitary Perception.

There is no time, only space.

Complete silence and complete peace of the mind.

Let's not waste the only chance in the world in which everything is on fire.

Unitary Perception is an all-encompassing perception without direction.

It is an interface to immense energy.

On gets, without effort, attuned to undivided energy.

The numerous super-products of thought, like those which are called time, perceiver, fear, sorrow, desire are transcended.

- How should one live?
- As though one were living for this single hour.
- How?
- If you only had this hour to live, what would you do?

The only sane intelligent way is complete aloneness, independence, pure silence free from comparison.

The only way is the end of time with its turmoil.
