From Hagakure. Becoming one with death in ones thoughts,even in life can cive rise to the highest attainment of purity and focus. A resolution to die gives rise to a higher state of life infused with beauty and grace beyond the reach of those concerned with self preservation .

The Art of Peace begins with you. Work on yourself and your appointed task in the Art of Peace. Everyone has a spirit that can be refined, a body that can be trained in some manner, a suitable path to follow. You are here for no other purpose than to realize your inner divinity and manifest your innate enlightenment. Foster peace in your own life and then apply the Art to all that you encounter.

Found this one via a good friend of mine ..Love it .

A Cherokee is telling his grandson about a fight
that is going on inside himself.
He said it is between 2 wolves.

One is evil: Anger, envy, sorrow, regret,
fearful thinking, greed, arrogance, self-pity,
guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies,
false pride, superiority and ego.

The other is good: Joy, peace, love, hope, serenity,
humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity,
truth, compassion and faith.

The grandson thought about it for a minute
and then asked his grandfather, "Which wolf wins?"

The Cherokee simply replied, "The one I feed."

Found this while looking at the web site where I got the last bit of wisdom from. This Is by David Stanley Bell. Found some of his quotes very enlightening . I will post more later.

"No Guru or Master can teach you anything that isn't already inside you.
They can help you in seeing what you are not seeing, in awakening to your true nature.
We can bring experts into our lives, but you are the authority on your life.
No-one can think your thoughts or make changes in your life but you."

"The difference between how we want to be
and how we actually behave is our awareness and our fears.
Fears bind us to old habits like glue
in the regions of ourselves where our true voice should be speaking.
We find our true selves as we become fearless.
Fear is one of the most popular means of control.
We can and should, only be controlled by consent."

PS this may not apply if in conflict with ones' CEO Domestic Engineering lol :laugh:

Whatever course you decide upon,there is always someone to tell you that you are wrong.
There are always difficulties arising which tempt you to believe that your critics are right.
To map out a course of action and follow it to an end requires courage.

the funny thing about right and wrong is that it's all a matter of perspective. one person's right is another's wrong.

the best any can do is to choose a path and have the courage and strength to follow it to the end.


and remember: opinions are like sphincters, everyone has one, they all stink, but no one will admit it. :woohoo:
