- Jonathan Lockwood Huie

as parts of your infinite body.
When you perceive that an act done to another
is done to yourself,
you have understood the great truth.
- Lao Tzu

Beyond mind, there is an awareness that is intrinsic,
that is not given to you by the outside, and is not an idea -
and there is no experiment up to now
that has found any center in the brain
which corresponds to awareness.
The whole work of meditation is
to make you aware of all that is "mind"
and disidentify yourself from it.
That very separation is the
greatest revolution that can happen to man.
Now you can do and act on only that
which makes you more joyous, fulfills you,
gives you contentment, makes your life a work of art, a beauty.
But this is possible only if the master in you is awake.
- Osho

motionless, and the center of the universe.

They knew that it was a mortal sin to marry
someone of a different skin color.

You only meet your once in a lifetime friend ...
once in a lifetime.

Your task is not to seek for love,
but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself
that you have built against it.
- A Course In Miracles (commonly misattributed to Rumi)

A true friend never gets in your way
unless you happen to be going down.
- Arnold H. Glasgow

A friend encourages your dreams and offers advice -
but when you don't follow it,
they still respect and love you.

A friend or co-worker shares a political,
religious, economic, or social opinion
that is opposite to yours -
