Real beauty? Dove on perception of beauty by make-up, hair extensions and photoshop. What you see is what you believe. It works too ways of course.

Presence

Ernest — Thu, 20 May 2010 18:46:28 +0000

I thoughts arise, remain present in that state;

if no thoughts arise, remain present in that state;

there is no difference in the presence in either state.

It is quite impossible to find the Buddha anywhere other than in once’s own mind.

A person who is ignorant of this may seek externally, but how is it possible to find oneself through seeking anywhere other than in oneself!

Someone who seeks their own nature externally is like a fool who, giving a performance in the middle of a crowd, forgets who he is and then seeks everywhere else to find himself.

–Padmasambhava (The Yoga of Knowing the Mind)-

Thomas theorem

Ernest — Sun, 25 Apr 2010 13:08:51 +0000

Thomas theorem is a theory of sociology which was formulated by W. I. Thomas (1863–1947) in the year 1928:

- “If men define situations as real, they are real in their consequences.” -

More quotes from W.I. Thomas:

- “It is not important whether or not the interpretation is correct–if men define situations as real, they are real in their consequences.” -
- “If people view somebody as great, then he is” – another, more specific version of the Thomas theorem -

”Samsara is the mind projected outwardly, lost in its projection. Nirvana is the mind turned inwardly, recognizing its true nature.”

Jill Bolte Taylor – Insightful and mind expanding

This already quite an old video by Jill Bolte Taylor at TED. It moved me emotionally but also gave me more insight in the brain and linked it to meditation experiences. I hope you appreciate it as well. Cheers,

Ernest.

After not using my blog for a year or two I decided to put it back online again. Let’s see what it will bring. I now primarily use it to have a website and let people know when and where my Taiji en Meditation classes are. Cheers!
