life beautiful long
Feelings are constantly changing. None is dependable for long. You can love someone intensely today, and tomorrow or next month not feel a thing. Except perhaps for the feeling of doubt or depression that what was so beautiful could change so quickly.
purpose existence needed
The whole purpose of existence is to bring love into existence where it is needed.
life love-you love-is
Love is the state of enlightenment and enlightenment is the state of love. You can't make any separation between them. Enlightenment is the state of no feelings and pure knowledge and so is love.
life independent love-is
Love is a power, a mighty principle that exists in its own right independent of any individual. Man changes, but the principle of love does not and cannot. Love does not leave men and women. Men and women leave love.
life believe teaching
I suppose the most radical part of my teaching at present is that love is not a feeling. Everybody suffers from love, or the fear of it, or the lack of it. Why? Why is love so universally and inevitably heart-breaking, whether it be through the end of a love affair, the death of a loved one or being locked in with the habitual casualness or grim indifference of a partner? The answer is because we've been taught and conditioned by the world to believe that love is a feeling.
thinking mind robots
When the robot mind is mastered, undisciplined thinking ceases and is replaced by awareness. Awareness can know love.
littles wanting-more energy
Pornography is just 'fast-food feminine energy', it will always leave you wanting more, with little or no nutritional value. There is nothing ful-filling about pornography, it pales in insignificance to a fully embodied loving woman.
way alive acknowledgement
Acknowledgement is the only way to keep love alive.
appearing man unhappy untruth
Nothing makes man more unhappy than the untruth appearing as the truth.
absorb endeavor hold
Absorb what is said as you read but endeavor not to hold on to it or think about it.
accept cannot judge
The judge cannot be the judged, and even to accept is to judge.
exactly knowledge machine predict sufficient
You can predict exactly what a machine will do if you have sufficient knowledge of it.
conscious convert dogma help man mechanical suits tries wisdom
The man-machine will crucify any conscious man who tries to help him; and convert his wisdom into an empty, mechanical dogma that suits his own understanding.
gradually pure remains strips true until
The true in the false, gradually strips away all self-delusion until all that remains is pure being.
