The Universe Is Smiling: "Musing"

Q: What is today's wisdom?
A: Take some time musing.

- Walter Bagehot
"Reflection is a flower of the mind, giving out wholesome fragrance; but revelry is the same flower, when rank and running to seed."

Q: What is today's wisdom?

A: "Between distraction and reflection, open the doors of perception!"

"If the doors of perception were cleansed everything would appear to men as it is, infinite."

"As social beings we live with our eyes upon our reflection, but have no assurance of the tranquility of the waters in which we see it."

- Charles Horton Cooley

"All that we are is the result of what we have thought."

The Universe Is Smiling: "Meditation"

Monika's weekly inner voice drawings:

I am following Paul's suggestion on the Inner Voice Village facebook site to expand on the theme of "BALANCE", such as the factors that cultivate balance "...integrity, confidence/faith, a mindful/calm mind, well-being, wisdom, insight, and freedom..." as well as the tools that help to achieve balance, such as MEDITATION. I also want to follow Clifford's idea of congruency. The last drawing with that theme didn't quite convince me. The beauty of these inspirational drawings is: YOU CAN DO ANOTHER ONE :)

 A: "If you want to find God, hang out in the space between your thoughts."

- Alan Cohen

"Meditation is the dissolution of thoughts in Eternal awareness or Pure consciousness without objectification, knowing without thinking, merging finitude in infinity."

- Swami Sivananda
