Via Daily Dharma: Awaken to the Truth of Yourself

 To become enlightened is to awaken to the mad truth that the precious personas we’ve been parading around as all these years, maybe all these lifetimes, are fictional constructs.

NEGROS não são descendentes de escravos como dizem os livros escolares... Eles são descendentes de civilizações africanas, reinos poderosos e povos fortes. Eles descendem de reis e rainhas, príncipes e princesas, são da linhagem de pessoas que desenvolveram a escrita, a astrologia, as ciências, daqueles que construíram as pirâmides...
 
Eles são frutos de um povo que desenvolveu as técnicas agrícolas e dominam a medicina primitiva... 
Eles são frutos de um povo que conhecem os benefícios das plantas e sabem como ninguém tirar delas o poder da cura, da vida saudável...
 
Acorda Brasil...
 
BLACK people are not descendants of slaves as school books say ... They are descendants of African civilizations, powerful kingdoms and strong peoples. They are descended from kings and queens, princes and princesses, they are of the lineage of people who developed writing, astrology, science, those who built the pyramids... 
They are the fruit of a people who developed agricultural techniques and dominate primitive medicine... 
They are the fruit of a people who know the benefits of plants and know how no one can take from them the power of healing, of healthy life... 
Wake up Brazil...

Via Daily Dharma: Opportunities for Reconstruction

 We are in a time of deconstruction. But we also have to remember that every deconstruction is an opportunity for reconstruction. We must ask ourselves, what is it we want to reconstruct and how do we go about it?

Via Ram Dass - Love Serve Remember Foundation // Words of Wisdom - February 28, 2021 💌

 

 
"It’s a very delicate task to interpret things like ego and fear because we tend to interpret from where we’re sitting, and we’ve developed these structures around it.

The root of fear is the feeling of separateness that can exist within oneself. The root of fear is within the model one has of oneself. That’s where fear starts. Once that feeling of separation exists, then you process everything from either inside or outside in terms of that model. Then it keeps reinforcing the feeling of vulnerability, because there are incredibly powerful forces moving both inside and outside of you.

The transformative process of spiritual work is reawakening to the innocence of going behind that model of separation that one has, that cuts you off, that made you a tiny little fragile somebody. A lot of the power comes from a freeing of our own fragility."

Via Daily Dharma: Train Yourself to Stay

The steadfastness we develop in meditation is a willingness to stay. It may seem silly, but meditation actually isn’t too unlike training a dog! We learn to stay.
