All that we are is the result
of what we have thought.
Buddha
Better keep yourself clean and bright:
you are the window through which
you must see the world.
Bernard Shaw
- Intelligence is the ability to spot patterns.
- Bodily intelligence is connected to your intuition.
- A quiet mind is able to hear intuition over fear.
- Your instincts and self-concept based on cultural inculcation is not your intuition.
- Clean eating. Whole food, plant-based diet.
- Practice spiritual disciplines, based on empathy and compassion.
- Consult mentors and experts. Use your intuition as to whether you trust their advice.
Most people are other people. Their thoughts
are someone else's opinions, their lives
a mimicry, their passions a quotation.
Oscar Wilde
People should be more like animals... they
should be more intuitive; they should not
be too conscious of what they do
while they do it.
Albert Einstein
- Treat your emotions as visitors. Allow all emotions to come to you.
- Understand what your emotions are telling you. For example, envy is you projecting your unrealized potential onto another. Ask yourself what it is that you need to do that you're not doing.
Pain is neither unbearable nor unending,
as long as you keep in mind it's limits and
don't magnify them in your imagination.
Marcus Aurelius

- Set a time limit. Have an exit strategy. End the conversation first.
The mind unconsciously loves problems
because they give an identity of sorts.
This is normal, and it is insane.

Never argue with stupid people.
They will drag you down to their level
and then beat you with experience.
Mark Twain
Know how to listen, and you will profit
even from those who talk badly.
Plutarch
If anyone can show me, and prove to me,
that I am wrong in thought or deed,
I will gladly change. I seek the truth,
which never yet hurt anybody. It is only
persistence in self-delusion and ignorance
which does harm.
Marcus Aurelius
The superior person is calm and composed;
the lesser person is continuously
worried and distressed.
Confucius
From the errors of others,
a wise man corrects his own.

Those who are serious in ridiculous matters
will be ridiculous in serious matters.

stronger and keener after recreation.
Seneca
