whoa:

"I've become someone who trusts that though I feel as fragile as a flaming leaf in autumn, I house the capacity of a tidal wave, a meteor shower, a white tornado of inspiration. I've become someone who believes that every human being has a tornado just beneath the skin and that we are meant to live our dreams so that we can discover that natural force within us that blows constriction away." - Tama Kieves


like a piece of art im not quite sure how i feel about:

"It takes chaos to give birth to a rising star." -Nietzsche

5 states of the mental plane:
ksiptam: mind is highly agitated
mudham: mind is dull, inert, and cloudy
viksiptam: mind is able to focus but concentrating on thinking & doing, not meditating
ekagrata: mind is one-pointed & can concentrate in a state of higher contemplation
niruddham: state in which mind sees everything clearly, w/o chitta vritti distraction, 'objective' of yoga

like communism, the city of auroville is a fascinating concept. don't you fantasize about communes? best yet, it has an industrial district! love it.

happy guru purinam on this full moon! i bow... while roaring like a lion and packing my house like a tortoise (what is home?),
