Shadow

Posted by PJ under quote of the day, the shadow
No Comments

Random quote of the day:

“Emotional discomfort is a hallmark of the shadow. Whenever something we have done, are doing, or think of doing causes us to feel guilty, ashamed, embarrassed or dumb, we can be sure that the shadow side of our personality is involved….The shadow is by definition the polar opposite of the bright, competent, intelligent, honorable and morally responsible persona with which the ego tends to identify.”

—Daryl Sharp, Pocket Jung

Visitor

Posted by PJ under power, quote of the day, religion
No Comments

Random quote of the day:

“The Gospels actually taught this:

Before you kill somebody, make absolutely sure he isn’t well connected. So it goes.

The flaw in the Christ stories, said the visitor from outer space, was that Christ, who didn’t look like much, was actually the Son of the Most Powerful Being in the Universe. Readers understood that, so, when they came to the crucifixion, they naturally thought…:

Oh boy—they sure picked the wrong guy to lynch that time!

And that thought had a brother: “There are right people to lynch.” Who? People not well connected. So it goes.

—Kurt Vonnegut, Slaughterhouse-Five

Nurture

Posted by PJ under nurture, quote of the day, the self
No Comments

Random quote of the day:

“Treat yourself as though you’re raising a child. Imagine you are a child that you are raising and that you love very dearly. You know you need to give the child a lot of love and nurturing, but the child also needs some boundaries. You’re not going to let yourself eat all the candy and run out into traffic. In your heart, you know what is going to help you grow.”

—Pema Chödrön, The Lion’s Roar, October 15, 2017

Electrons

Posted by PJ under fairies, metaphors, quantum physics, quote of the day, reality
No Comments

Random quote of the day:

“Electrons…are no more real than the Sidhe—and no more metaphorical either. We cannot even say whether they are waves or particles, only that it depends on the observer…. Nowhere is empty; even the spaces in atoms are thought to be full of daimonic entities—”virtual particles” which appear out of nowhere, interact and vanish.”

Gold

Random quote of the day:

“Words are the small change of thought. Certain talkers pay us in ten-sou bits. Others, on the other hand, give out only gold pieces.”

Booklove

Posted by PJ under books, love, quote of the day
No Comments

Random quote of the day:

“There is no mistaking a real book when one meets it. It is like falling in love, and like that colossal adventure it is an experience of great social import. Even as the tranced swain, the booklover yearns to tell others of his bliss.”

—Christopher Morley, Pipefuls

Student

Posted by PJ under quote of the day, students, the deep within
No Comments

Random quote of the day:

“You are the only faithful student you have.
All the others leave eventually.

Have you been making yourself shallow
with making others eminent?

Just remember, when you’re in union,
you don’t have to fear
that you’ll be drained.

The command comes to speak,
and you feel the ocean
moving through you.
Then comes, Be silent,
as when the rain stops,
and the trees in the orchard
begin to draw moisture
up into themselves.”

—Jalal ad-Din Muhammad Rumi (tr. Coleman Barks)
