I Have Called That the New Man – Zorba the Buddha

“First I taught you about trust, the heart, feeling, love; and now I am teaching you about doubt, skepticism, reason, intellect, because I would like you to be a whole man. You can be completely satisfied with trusting, with the heart, but you will not be a whole man. I would not call Mira a whole person, I would not call Ramakrishna a whole person. They are beautiful, but the intellect is missing; it is all heart. It is too much sugar, it creates diabetes. I am diabetic. Too much of the heart, too much sweetness, and you suffer from diabetes – and I don’t want any of you to suffer from diabetes. Yes, just living by the heart you will have spiritual diabetes. Intellect is salty, spicy; it is not all sugar.

“I would like you to enjoy the wholeness of your being, when your body, your heart, your intellect all fall in tune. I have called that the new man – Zorba the Buddha.”

-Osho

Screw it.

Reblog this post before October 31st and I’ll say what monster/cryptid/mythical creature you remind me of just from scrolling through your blog a bit. Make sure you have asks open.

Begin to see yourself as a soul with a body rather than a body with a soul. ~ Wayne Dye

“Life appears to me too short to be spent in nursing animosity or registering wrongs.”

I feel like such a temporary person in everyone’s life

“In generosity and helping others, be like a river. In compassion and grace, be like the sun. In concealing others’ faults, be like the night. In anger and fury, be as if you have died. In modesty and humility, be like the earth. In tolerance, be like the sea. Appear as you are, or be as you appear.” -Rumi

I fell asleep and into your arms

Lying there luxuriating in bed

In each other; raptly willing to watch those eyes

--More than anything any app could stream--

Surface rippling rivetingly

Intimating all that teems beneath

Yet somehow riveted on me

Heart-racing soul-stirring

Embracing as the flame burns hotter

Stroking innocently until the intent

Gains in momentum, in urgency

Only we're not alone, witnesses surround

So we furtively glance around tickling

Ears with our murmurings

Plotting to sneak away...our stares

And sighs asking, why wait?

They matter too but not as much

As we do, as our untamable

Urges do, at this moment

If this be no more than a one-time

Wonderful dream detour

Another almost--but a bittersweet

Tantalizing taste

Would it be better preserved

That way or a crying shame waste?

Will I ever even have a say

When awake?

“Thank the water for cleansing you. Stare into the candle’s flame. Think about how nature affects you– how the moon controls the tides, how weather affects your mood, how the day goes from bright to dark to allow you to sleep.”

— Light Magic for Dark Times (Lisa Marie Basile)

“So, what if, instead of thinking about solving your whole life, you just think about adding additional good things. One at a time. Just let your pile of good things grow.”

— Rainbow Rowell
