"Watch your thoughts; for they become words. Watch your words; for they become actions. Watch your actions; for they become habits. Watch your habits; for they become character. Watch your character for it will become your destiny. "

There's a duality in every man and every woman.

Synchronicity is the universe's way of winking at you.

The fact that someone else loves you doesn’t rescue you from the project of loving yourself.  — Sahaj Kohli

It was enough to catch that rhythm, momentarily to be myself a part of it. In that instance I could feel no doubt of man's oneness with the universe. The conviction came that that rhythm was too orderly, too harmonious, too perfect to be a product of blind chance - that, therefore, there must be a purpose in the whole and that man was part of that whole and not an accidental off-shoot. It was a feeling that transcended reason; that went to the heart of man's despair and found it groundless. The universe was a cosmos, not a chaos; man was as rightfully a part of that cosmos as were the day and night. - Admiral Bird, 1934 on trip to Antarctic

"My goal is to build a life I don't need a vacation from." - Rob Hill Sr.

"My feet is my only carriage, so I've got to push on through." - Robert Nesta Marley

They tried to bury us, they didn't know we were seeds. 

Row, row, row your boat
Gently down the stream,
Merrily merrily, merrily, merrily
Life is but a dream ♪ ♫ ♪ ♫


A wise friend once told me, the more you think about things you cannot control, the more you are allowing that person, event, or experience to have control and power over you. I remind myself often that the most worthwhile thing I can do is stay focused on things I can control or create. Don't get lost in that smoke. Keep your fires lit and forge something with meaning and strength. Stay empowered, friends!


I'm a man of the stars
Relativity is law
And me and Einstein learned how to stretch time
Science only answers how
Religion only answers why
The two combined is the true design
So respect to God cause he drew the lines
I'm chasing paper, I'm chasing paper
The world is C.R.E.A.M. and I'm going green

You're going to die. You're going to be dead. It could be 20 years, it could be tomorrow, anytime. So am I. I mean, we're just going to be gone. The world's going to go on without us. All right now. You do your job in the face of that, and how seriously you take yourself you decide for yourself. ~ Bob Dylan

I change during the course of a day. I wake and I'm one person, and when I go to sleep I know for certain I'm somebody else ~ Bob Dylan

Yesterday's just a memory, tomorrow is never what it's supposed to be. ~ Bob Dylan

Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony. ~ Gandhi

My life is my message. ~ Gandhi

Care about what other people think and you will always be their prisoner. - Lao Tzu


Zen does not confuse spirituality with thinking about God while one is peeling potatoes. Zen spirituality is just to peel the potatoes. ~ Alan Watts

You don't look out there for God, something in the sky, you look in you. ~ Alan Watts

If you study the writings of the mystics, you will always find things in them that appear to be paradoxes, as in Zen, particularly. ~ Alan Watts

You are an aperture through which the universe is looking at and exploring itself. ~ Alan Watts

The art of living… is neither careless drifting on the one hand nor fearful clinging to the past on the other. It consists in being sensitive to each moment, in regarding it as utterly new and unique, in having the mind open and wholly receptive. ~ Alan Watts

What I am really saying is that you don’t need to do anything, because if you see yourself in the correct way, you are all as much extraordinary phenomenon of nature as trees, clouds, the patterns in running water, the flickering of fire, the arrangement of the stars, and the form of a galaxy. You are all just like that, and there is nothing wrong with you at all. ~ Alan Watts

The art of meditation is a way of getting into touch with reality, and the reason for it is that most civilized people are out of touch with reality because they confuse the world as it with the world as they think about it and talk about it and describe it. For on the one hand there is the real world and on the other there is a whole system of symbols about that world which we have in our minds. These are very very useful symbols, all civilization depends on them, but like all good things they have their disadvantages, and the principle disadvantage of symbols is that we confuse them with reality, just as we confuse money with actual wealth. ~ Alan Watts

When you know that this moment is the Tao, and this moment is considered by itself without past and without future—eternal, neither coming into being nor going out of being—there is nirvana. ~ Alan Watts

"....you think you’re really here. Well, you’ve persuaded yourself that way. You’ve acted it so damn well that you KNOW that this is the real world.... Let’s suppose that you were able, every night, to dream any dream you wanted to dream, and that you could for example have the power within one night to dream 75 years of time. And you would, naturally, as you began on this adventure of dreams, fulfill all your wishes. You would have every kind of pleasure you could conceive. And after several nights of 75 years of total pleasure each,  you would say ‘now let’s have a surprise. Let’s have a dream which isn’t under control. Then you would get more and more adventurous, and you would make further and further gambles as to what you would dream, and finally you would dream where you are now." ~ Alan Watts

Jamaica has problems; America has problems; everywhere has problems. ~ Ziggy Marley

I am expressing myself truthfully. That is an important thing. ~ Ziggy Marley

Music is one of the most essential things in life. It is what teaches us. ~ Ziggy Marley

People treat you according to your energy or what you put out there, so what I put out there is very open. I'm not paranoid or scared, I'm open. That's how I treat people, with respect and speak truthfully.~ Ziggy Marley

I believe we are all connected to other people. I am connected to people who are suffering. We all are. ~ Ziggy Marley

Music is a unifying force. ~ Ziggy Marley

I have been so overwhelmed by the many storms that have broken over my head, that I am become passive in the hands of the Almighty, like a sparrow in the talons of an eagle. I live, because it is not ordained for me to die.”  ― Alexandre Dumas

I'm the one that has to die when it's time for me to die, so let me live my life, the way I want to. ~ Hendrix

Music is a safe kind of high. ~ Hendrix

Music is my religion.~ Hendrix


Knowing your own darkness is the best method for dealing with the darknesses of other people. ~ Carl Jung

There is no coming to consciousness without pain. ~ Carl Jung

Nobody, as long as he moves about among the chaotic currents of life, is without trouble. ~ Carl Jung

Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world. ~ Nelson Mandela

I learned that courage was not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it. The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear. ~ Nelson Mandela


It is no measure of health to be well adjusted to a profoundly sick society. ~ Jiddu Krishnamurti

Life cannot be without relationship, but we have made it so agonizing and hideous by basing it on personal and possessive love. Can one love and yet not possess?

I can resist everything except temptation. ~ Oscar Wilde

Life is only a dream and we are the imagination of ourselves.

I don't mean to sound bitter, cold, or cruel, but I am, so that's how it comes out.

Watching television is like taking black spray paint to your third eye.

We are the facilitators of our own creative evolution.

If you don't think drugs have done good things for us, then take all of your records, tapes and CD's and burn them.

I get a kick out of being an outsider constantly. It allows me to be creative.

We all pay for life with death, so everything in between should be free.

I left in love, in laughter, and in truth, and wherever truth, love and laughter abide, I am there in spirit.
