You know, in the case of most of us, the mind is noisy, everlastingly chattering to itself , soliloquizing or chattering about something, or trying to talk to itself, to convince itself of something; it is always moving, noisy. And from that noise, we act. Any action born of noise produces more noise, more confusion. But if you have observed and learnt what it means to communicate, the difficulty of communication, the non-verbalization of the mind — that is, that communicates and receives communication— , then, as life is a movement, you will, in your action, move on naturally, freely, easily, without any effort, to that state of communion. And in that state of communion, if you enquire more deeply, you will find that you are not only in communion with nature, with the world, with everything about you, but also in communion with yourself.
-J Krishnamurti
QUESTION: Are our lives pre-destined, or if we are meant to travel in a particular path can anything we do always direct us there?
“Those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it.”- George Santayana
Stop fighting what IS. It IS your now. Be present with what IS and take note. What IS will never be again.
Stop pretending their toxic behavior is OK.
If nothing else, this is a message of compassion. I don't want to discourage rebellion, nor do I want to encourage rebellion, I just want people to love each other.
