thoughtsand QUOTES

1 " one morning in my early twenties when feeling quite suicidal
I got into my locked car and someone had done a reversal
the Hawaiian necklace that hung on the rearview mirror
had been turned around backwards in an event so queer
in that moment I knew I was not alone in my struggles
and that all would be okay if I simply forgot my troubles
let it be known that you’ve got watchful guardian angels
I’ll tell you of yet another way that they make me so grateful
their presence and assistance is often noticed as such:
a shot of high frequency energy is felt as they touch
receiving a ringing in an ear while my mind goes meditative
spiritually put back on track with a reminder of my objective
because of the prayers I practice this is how I’m aided
your experiences may vary out of not caring to be persuaded
how often do you call out for help from on high?
it’s their pleasure to assist if you’d just ask them to come by
I can tell you straight away, they know your thoughts
and exactly how you’re feeling when you’re distraught
seeing you scanning this sentence as they’re in your presence
do you feel their love or have you taken a rigid stance? "

― Jarett Sabirsh , Love All-Knowing: An Epic Spiritual Poem

2 " 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 today.

For God is in a mood
to plunder your riches and
fling you nakedly
into such breathtaking poverty
that all that will be left of you
will be a tendency to shine.

So don't just sit around this flame
choking on your mind.
For this is no campfire song
to mindlessly mantra yourself to sleep with.

Jump now into the space
between thoughts
and exit this dream
before I burn the damn place down. "

― Adyashanti

3 " I’m a keeper of flocks.
The flock is my thoughts
And my thoughts are all sensations.
I think with my eyes and with my ears
And with my hands and feet
And with my nose and mouth.

Thinking about a flower is seeing and smelling it
And eating a piece of fruit is knowing its meaning.

That’s why when on a hot day
I feel sad from liking it so much,
And I throw myself lengthwise on the grass
And shut my hot eyes,
And feeling my whole body lying on reality,
I know the truth and I’m happy. "

― Fernando Pessoa , The Keeper of Sheep
