The soul hath its senses, like the body, that may be cultivated, enlarged, refined, as itself grows in stature and proportion; and he who cannot appreciate a fine painting or statue, a noble poem, a sweet harmony, a heroic thought, or a disinterested action, or to whom the wisdom of philosophy is but foolishness and babble, and the loftiest truths of less importance than the price of stocks or cotton, or the elevation of baseness to office, merely lives on the level of commonplace, and fitly prides himself upon that inferiority of the soul’s senses, which is the inferiority and imperfect development of the soul itself. Morals and Dogma (via idrumtth)

The most common way people give up their power is by thinking they don’t have any. Alice Walker (via thelovelyloner)

As the air I breathe is drawn from the great repositories of nature, as the light on my book is yielded by a star a hundred million miles distant, as the poise of my body depends on the equilibrium of centrifugal and centripetal forces, so the hours should be instructed by the ages and the ages explained by the hours. Of the universal mind, each individual man and woman is one more incarnation. Emerson

In its ritualism and monitorial lessons, Masonry teaches nothing in morals, in science, in religion or in any other department of human knowledge or human interest, not taught elsewhere in current forms of thought or by the sages of the past. In these directions it has no secrets of any kind. It is in the ancient symbolism of Freemasory that its real secrets lie concealed and these are as densely veiled to the Mason as to any other, unless he has studied the science of symbolism in general and Masonic symbolism in particular. R. Swinburne Clymer, M.D (via theworkingtools)

A radical destruction of the ‘bourgeois’ who exists in every man is possible in these disrupted times, more than in any other. In these times, man can find himself again, can really stand in front of himself, and get used to watching everything according to the look of the other shore, so as to restore to importance, to essential significance, what should be so in any normal existence: the relationship between the life and the ‘more than life’, between the human and the eternal, between the short lived and the incorruptible. Julius Evola, from “Metaphysics of War” (via heartbloodspirit)

Jeanette said, “Attitudes about interspecies communication are the primary difference between western and indigenous philosophies. Even the most progressive western philosophers still generally believe that listening to the land is a metaphor.” She paused, then continued emphatically, “It’s not a metaphor. It’s how the world is. Derrick Jensen, in the book A Language Older than Words

Having tattoos and piercings is not unprofessional.

What’s unprofessional is turning down an aspiring employee due to superficial reasons and not their skill level or experience.

It depends on the position.  How one appears can have a significant impact on their ability to fulfill the duties of their position.  Right, wrong, justified or not, one’s appearance affects how one’s communications are received, not only by upper management, but also by others, especially customers.

For instance, I have to appear before a judge on Monday.  How I appear to him or her will influence the interaction.  Period.  Doesn’t matter if I agree or disagree, it’s simply what’s so.  I can address it powerfully, or I can whine and complain that it ain’t right.  Which will get me what I want? And so I recently cut my shoulder-length hair and Monday morning I will shower, shave, put on nice shoes, dress pants, a long-sleeve button-up shirt and a tie.

It doesn’t matter what I perceive as right/wrong, justified or not.  What matters it’s what’s so and how I’m going to deal with it.  I have no control over others, only myself, and if I want to achieve what I want to achieve in life, then I will be open and attentive to the way others will receive me and respectful of their views.  Just because their views differ from mine does not make them right or wrong, again, it’s simply what’s so.

“There is nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes it so.” - Shakespeare

You don’t have to control your thoughts; you just have to stop letting them control you.” ` ~Dan Millman Let’s Saidiana:

Tibetan monk’s levitation is not a legend. It has nothing to do with Eastern mysticism or religious teachings. The person did not get any help except his focused mind and his energy that caused thephenomenon. That is what the mind in combination with your energy can achieve by itself. If someone can do things that look supernatural, it does not necessarily mean God is helping them do it. In this case, it was neither good or bad that helped achieve the feat; it was simply the mind over matter. Those monks have mastered the ability to control the smallest of their energy particles within their vessels.
Imagine you are in the spirit realm and watch a monk meditate in a cross-leg position. You could hear his concentrated thoughts: “All of my weight is going down and out of my body; I’m becoming as light as a feather.” He thought that over and over. Finally, he floated up almost a foot off the ground. When he ended the session, he gently floated back down by thinking, “I’m becoming weighted.” If you could go up to him without being seen and slap your hands together, the guy would go down like a rock.  Loss of concentration breaks the mind link to your energy’s manipulation of the universal laws on the fleshly plane..

Hmm. I had the same number for dinner yesterday. It was assigned my taxi driver #, my current apt. #, my life path + self-expression #’s (numerology)… Does it mean anything? Probably not. Interesting to notice though.
