Time and Consciousness (Penrose)

The way in which time is treated in modern physics is not essentially different from the way space is treated, and the 'time' of physical descriptions does not really flow at all. .... The temporal ordering that we appear to perceive is something that we impose on our perceptions to make sense of them in relation to the uniform forward time-progression of an external physical reality.

-- Roger Penrose, from The Emperor's New Mind: Concerning Computers, Minds, and the Laws of Physics.

One Taste of Tantra (Namkhai Norbu)

While Hinayana and Mahayana regard the absolute voidness as the object of realization to be attained by freeing oneself from bonds of impure relative dimension, the Tantras begin with the awareness of the voidness of all phenomena, and aim at re-integrating with the relative – working with the method of transformation. The relative is not renounced or rejected but used as the means of transformation itself, until dualism is overcome, and all phenomena can be said to be of “one taste,” pure from the beginning.


-- Namkhai Norbu Rinpoche, from The Crystal and the Way of Light

Your best at your simplest (Mel Lyman)

All things unfold from a common source, there is but one center to the universe, all things are rooted there.

Learn how to eliminate all that is superficial and unnecessary, what hinders you from knowing the source from whence you came: it is so much garbage piled up between you and your soul, it distorts the tree and fouls the song and muddles the story and twists the desire, it strangles the root and starves the flower, it KILLS.

At your simplest you are at your best, the good in you is free to come forth, why display empty pretence to cover scanty knowledge, it is so easy to say it hurts. The good in you will not forsake you, only you can forsake IT.
