"If the doors of perception were cleansed everything would appear to man as it is: Infinate."

William Blake

"Our modern owned world is going deaf from listening to its own answers"

Motion is beyond control.

Clarity is in the ability to no longer seek the meaning in chaos.

Emergence requires no effort.

Guidance. To where or to what? It swirls in the currents of time.

Love is not for Profit: Love (and by extension, finding a spouse) is not something sought "with a view to a profit, or advancement, or celebrity". It is an affection for the beautiful object, heedless of all other considerations. Waiting until you are "fully together" because you fear you are currently inadequate mirrors the transactional error of seeking partnership for its "usefulness" or "gain". True partnership is sought for its own sake

-Action Over Waiting: The philosophy dictates that you must "live for the other person if you wish to live for yourself" The self-contented wise man "still desires a friend" if only "for the purpose of practising friendship" Waiting until you are perfectly ready means you are forgoing the practice and denying yourself the growth that comes from genuine human connection.

Defining Reality with Limits: To find what is "realistic," you must look at things simply and straightforwardly, as they truly are-neither good nor bad. Seneca provides a definition for adequate wealth as "having what is essential, and second, having what is enough". Similarly, natural desires are limited, while those springing from "false opinions" are limitless. What is realistic, therefore, is what nature demands.

Transcending Paradigms (Finding Leverage): The highest leverage point for change is to keep oneself unattached in the arena of paradigms, to stay flexible, to realize that no paradigm is "true," and to let go into "not-knowing".if you adopt the paradigm that "nothing is an external necessity, you are free to define your own path. Finding "realistic" starts here: by removing the crippling judgments applied to your situation.

want to learn about the bamboo, then go to the bamboo. When you have become one with them, then your poetry will come by itself.” - Basho

"the scope of expression is so vast that no tangible barriers define the perimeters of what art is and what is just living. It has been suggested that everything we do, every gesture and every movement is in fact art, as it is the way we are expressing ourselves in the face of the environment with which we interact. " - Juniper

"If the archer and the bow are in harmony and the ego takes no
part in the activity, then the shot will be made in the right spirit and
that is all that matters." - Juniper

" The real beauty that we can
enjoy in true and pure aesthetics is neither beautiful nor ugly, it is the
magical state that happens before any of the concepts have found
voice in the intellect."
