The Lips of Wisdom Are Closed Except To The Ears of Understanding

“The Lips of Wisdom Are Closed,
Except To The Ears of Understanding.”
~The Kybalion~

Our greatness lies not so much in
being able to remake the world,
As in being able to remake ourselves.
~ Mahatma Gandhi~

Confront the dark parts of yourself,
And work to banish them,
With illumination and forgiveness.
Your willingness to wrestle,
With your inner demons,
Will cause your angels to sing.
Use the PAIN as FUEL,
As a reminder of your strength.”
~ August Wilson~

Introspection is self-improvement
And therefore…
introspection is self-centeredness.
Awareness is not self-improvement.
On the contrary,
It is the ending of the self of the “I,” with all its peculiar
Idiosyncrasies, memories, demands, and pursuits.
In introspection there is identification and condemnation.
In awareness there is no condemnation or identification;
Therefore, there is no self-improvement.
There is a vast difference between the two.”
~Jiddu Krishnamurti~


Peace & Blessings
