Muddy water is best cleared by leaving it alone.

Just as the ocean is waving so each one of us is a waving of the whole cosmos, the entire works, all there is.

We are at war between consciousness and nature, between the desire for permanence and the fact of flux. It is ourself against ourselves.

In other words, a person who is fanatic in matters of religion, and clings to certain ideas about the nature of God and the universe, becomes a person who has no faith at all.

So then, the relationship of self to other is the complete realization that loving yourself is impossible without loving everything defined as other than yourself.

Do you have any control over being conscious? Do you know how you will?

Problems that remain persistently insoluble should always be suspected as questions asked in the wrong way.
