* * * *

Tools are only as necessary as the given job.

* * * *

Fathom the unfathomable, and you will perchance become unfathomable.

* * * *

Right wing or left wing, there are always wing nuts spinning on loose screws.

* * * *

How are you going to look without that face?

* * * *

What is pride, what is vanity, but a mind absorbed in its imaginary delusions.

* * * *

Is it been there, done that, or am here, doing that?

* * * *

What you say or think all hinges upon the context of the given moment.

* * * *

True humility precludes pride.

* * * *

As stories across time so often demonstrate, alliances are what the human paradigm are about.

* * * *

For even one part to be false, it must all be.

* * * *

You are perfection manifest.

* * * *

Principles often prove to be many-layered things in the relativity of circumstance.

* * * *

A little dab of attention will do ya.

* * * *

Extremes are always rough on the majorities who lack the will to resist.

* * * *

What is beautiful, what is not, and who decides?

* * * *

How could any of this be without you to witness it, to participate in it in whatever way you will.

* * * *

Go ahead, allow your Self to be free.

* * * *

What if all creation is nothing more than an exhale?

* * * *

By the time any tomorrow arrives, it will be the same now every yesterday has ever known.

* * * *

You appear, you disappear, what of it?

* * * *

It all is what it is; no point judging anything.

* * * *

Watch and wait each and every eternal moment that full attention allows.

* * * *

The frontal lobe is the theater of human consciousness.

* * * *

Why would you want to be that stupid?

* * * *

There is a universe to unlearn, perchance to forget.

* * * *

What’s your delusion?

* * * *

Questions of a thousand dreams.

* * * *

Is the present ever quite what it seems?

* * * *

There is no Superman, sorry.

* * * *

Principles have a tendency to change with the given wind.

* * * *

Not often you can choose your neighbors.

* * * *

It is not what you want to be; it is what you want to pretend.

* * * *

Are you perfect yet?

* * * *

Wield that discerning sword with great attention.

* * * *

The world is founded upon distraction.

* * * *

Everything is after the fact.

* * * *

Give full attention to the present upon which awareness sheds its light.

* * * *

Curiosity don’t just kill cats.

* * * *

Perception, perception, perception.

* * * *

How stupid is stupid has yet to be determined.

* * * *

Watch and wait, it will all happen soon enough.

* * * *

No dogma required.

* * * *

What is food today is only piss and gas and shit tomorrow.

* * * *

Imagination is always running away with itself.

* * * *

The other, it is all out there, doing what you cannot control.

* * * *

Pure awareness is neither smile nor frown.

* * * *

Infinity, what is that anyway?

* * * *

Kicking the world out of your mind is not easy, but it’s not hard, either.

* * * *

Is it death, or merely not being confined to a body anymore?

* * * *

What now?

* * * *

The world is a pisser-shitter outhouse for all the dinosaurs that have ever roamed.

* * * *

If you are talking differences, you are not talking truth.

* * * *

When has any self-help book ever helped you for long?

* * * *

What selective universe, a selective theater, the mind makes of the senses.

* * * *

Are you complete yet?

* * * *

There are no followers; only explorers who wander across all lands, all times.

* * * *

Desire not, fear not.

* * * *

Waste time? How can something that does not exist be wasted?

* * * *

What is food today is shit tomorrow.

* * * *

Who’s the alien here?

* * * *

The quantum source abides all.

* * * *

Is anyone ever really who you think they are?

* * * *

The hallmark of any civilization has always been too many people in too little space.

* * * *

Ever since inception, the body has every moment endured its diminishment.

* * * *

Yet another case of something happened.

* * * *

What is nationalism but tribalism on steroids.

* * * *

If you were really strong, you would not need to proclaim it over and over and over.

* * * *

Quantum this.

* * * *

How would you see it all if you did not know so much?

* * * *

Bam!

* * * *

Surely, the mind is meant for more than a repository of meaningless trivia.

* * * *

The elixir of wisdom is the distillation of a wide array of ever-streaming moments.

* * * *

So what?

* * * *

Creativity is its own reward.

* * * *

Bite the hand that feeds you, and be mindful of the slap before it wanders away.

* * * *

The quantum matrix born of a quantum mind is a figment of time.

* * * *

Nothing exists but the eternal now, and even that is a dubious assumption.

* * * *

The mystery wakes up to another day.

* * * *

Awareness has no reality but through timeless attention.

* * * *

Abide in transience.

* * * *

The key ingredient to discerning the ultimate reality is a heady dollop of doubt.

* * * *

Dare to know; dare to not know.

* * * *

Peering out from a face never seen, a universe never known.

* * * *

Absolute power does not corrupt the absolute.

* * * *

The Church of Reason is only as rational, as objective, as vanity allows.

* * * *

Any being rated supreme is surely neither jealous nor vengeful nor ambitious in any way.

* * * *

What is memory for the sage but a set of perceptions from which to mine wisdom.

* * * *

Live desirelessly, live fearlessly.

* * * *

The practice is death while living.

* * * *

Do not know what I am, but I am surely not anything I think.

* * * *

The things we take for granted likely fill many a single-spaced page.

* * * *

The silliness of time is the silliness of mind.

* * * *

True science has no agenda but truth.

* * * *

The mystery is but a mystery is but a mystery.

* * * *

As I am, so are you.

* * * *

Religious and spiritual are states of imagination to which ignorance and delusion cling.

* * * *

The end of desire is the end of fear.

* * * *

You cannot teach ignorance what it is not capable of, or interested in, learning.

* * * *

The dowry of life is suffering and death.

* * * *

The permutations of greed are relatively predictable.

* * * *

Chances are your nose looks best on your own face.

* * * *

Beauty parlors, what a joke; more like a daily dose of Halloween.

* * * *

So, how’s life in the feed lot? Looks like you’re still eating well.

* * * *

Oh, what self-deceptive lies these minds can double-double-toil-and-trouble in their soupy mix.

* * * *

The illusions of the flesh are of but relatively short duration.

* * * *

Rid your mind of all its effort, and what is left but that which is unknowable.

* * * *

The joy of science is making black and white, gray, and gray, black and white.

* * * *

Half-baked or well done, the potato is the same.

* * * *

A singular vision that relatively few are beckoned-chosen-allowed to clearly perceive.

* * * *

Another day in the genitalia wars.

* * * *

Look to your awareness to see the truth of you in all.

* * * *

Abiding in stillness, existing without label, without definition, now that’s nirvana.

* * * *

As if it matters.

* * * *

Embrace the aloneness, embrace the sovereignty, embrace the infinity.

* * * *

Everything is forgotten in one sooner or later or another.

* * * *

Generation after generation must learn anew who they can and cannot trust.

* * * *

The best solution to either wealth or poverty is a richness of spirit.

* * * *

You have been locked in a struggle with death since the moment you were conceived.

* * * *

Absurdity from dawn to dusk, and all the dark hours before and after.

* * * *

To meet your fate with a full breath inspires the greatest courage.

* * * *

To break with history, with the chains of time, is the only true freedom.

* * * *

How long can virtue withstand the winds of fierce and bitter consciousness?

* * * *

Discontent is best remedied by regular, sustained breathing.

* * * *

The struggle of existence is ceaseless from first breath to last.

* * * *

To die to time, to suspend all memories, is to be free, to be born anew in the given moment.

* * * *

Consciousness does not easily relinquish its imaginary universe.

* * * *

The garden is still very Darwinesque, despite all the safety nets we pretend will save us.

* * * *

Being trapped in the body-mind can often be very trying.

* * * *

No matter how many rocks you turn over, beneath each and every one is the same mystery.

* * * *

As if all your opinions mean diddly-squat.

* * * *

Trust fate to sooner or later winding-road you to one executioner’s block or another.

* * * *

Another footnote.

* * * *

Only the dead have seen the end of absurdity.

* * * *

And that died too.

* * * *

Always so much more to everything than meets the eye of any given mind.

* * * *

Why waste time over things over which you have absolutely no control?

* * * *

Your ignorance is bliss.

* * * *

Is it cheating if you are playing a different game?

* * * *

How many so-called great warriors have never fought the greatest battle within?

* * * *

Winning is not always the priority; surviving, abiding, is often the more realistic outcome.

* * * *

When it comes to watermelons, best leave the heart, or at least part of it, for last.

* * * *

Whether you recline, sit, stand, walk, or run, it all passes the same.

* * * *

What a great deal of work it takes to do nothing well.

* * * *

We are kindly served by so many distractions, so few of which really matter.

* * * *

How much does imagination require to see it is but an illusion?

* * * *

How focused ambition must be in order to fulfill great desire.

* * * *

A few deep breaths can inspire greater courage than any set of neuron sparks.

* * * *

How can you imagine any speculation but less true?

* * * *

All that feasting and you’re still hungry!?

* * * *

To a true believer, it really matters, and woe unto those who differ.

* * * *

True contentment is being at peace with the everything that is nothing all the while.

* * * *

Layers of subtlety are the hallmark of a sage’s thinking.

* * * *

What is death but a dream forever extinguished.

* * * *

Desire will carry on for as long as you are driven mad by its siren call.

* * * *

You are the quantum breeze.

* * * *

Is that all? Seriously!?

* * * *

And what do you hunger for today?

* * * *

Consciousness an insatiable beast that will not easily die.

* * * *

No projection of imagination, no matter how lucid, how fearless, has ever been real.

* * * *

Do not be usurped by gossip, and by the way, it is all gossip.

* * * *

Truth or delusion, you decide.

* * * *

The ivory towers and forums are awash in the same vanities as any other human experience.

* * * *

There are no followers in this game; only those who see and those who do not.

* * * *

There are always statistical exceptions, standard deviations, that prove bell curves true.

* * * *

Beware any individual or group that has a big idea looking for true believers.

* * * *

Pleasure and pain serve the same master.

* * * *

If you cannot save your self, how can you save anyone else?

* * * *

Pleasure and pain spawn different outcomes in their cause and effect spins.

* * * *

Another day of Animal Farm redux, idem, ibidem, et cetera, ad infinitum.

* * * *

How much more do you desperately not need?

* * * *

The times and places and names and faces may change, but the mystery is ever the same.

Party on, the Reaper is but a breath away.

* * * *

Yabba-dabba-doo.
