Terrorism
barrylongbulletin: To the dedicated terrorist there are no people in the western world, only positions. In his mind people act out their positions. Positions have to be destroyed in people’s minds for the real person, the individual, to be reached. So the terrorist shows no mercy, no compassion of the kind that conventional people in […]

“ If you prefer smoke over fire then get up now and leave. For I do not intend to perfume your mind’s clothing with more sooty knowledge. No, I have something else in mind. Today I hold a flame in my left hand and a sword in my right. There will be no damage control […]

“There is no urgency. Summer does not rush towards autumn. One tiny blade of grass is not trying to grow faster than its neighbour. The planets spin lazily in their orbits.

“Once we stop buying a thought, any thought, we rob it of its potency. We see the lie and so the lie ceases to have any power because the interest and investment just aren’t there anymore. Seeing through just one idea or belief in this way is a revolutionary act. Because if one thought is […]
I don’t think
barrylongbulletin: When I look to see what’s arising, it’s like looking into a room to see what’s there. I’m not thinking. Looking is not thinking. Thinking makes my mind discursive.

“I discovered that when I believed my thoughts, I suffered, but that when I didn’t believe them, I didn’t suffer, and that this is true for every human being. Freedom is as simple as that.” – Byron Katie (via ashramof1) via tumblr http://ift.tt/1iTiFek published on October 03, 2015 at 11:05AM Some rights reserved – Creative […]
