Post written by Leo Babauta. We are often afraid of silence, because its emptiness feels idle, boring, unproductive, and scary. And so we fill our lives with chaos, noise, clutter. But silence can be lovely, and therapeutic, and powerful. It can be the remedy for our stress and the habits that crush us. If we [...]

‘Don’t panic.’ ~Douglas Adams Post written by Leo Babauta. Why is it that we cannot break the bad habits that stand in our way, crushing our desires to live a healthy life, be fit, simplify, be happier? How is it that our best intentions are nearly always beaten? We want to be focused and productive, [...]

Post written by Leo Babauta. Every January, people rush out and get a gym membership, set a list of goals or resolutions, and get ready to take on a new year of frenetic activity. Unfortunately, we don’t often clear space to make room for all this new stuff. The beginning of the year is a [...]

Post written by Leo Babauta. So you’ve been putting off tackling your clutter for months, maybe even years.

by guest
5 Jan 2012 at 9:15am
Editor’s note: This is a guest post from Jeff Goins of Goins, Writer. This new year, do something different: stop setting goals. If the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again expecting different results, then making resolutions for another year is a sure-fire way to drive yourself crazy. I did [...]


Celestine Prophecy

Here is your Monday STORY on: LOVE: Love can be an area of fear for many people, yet it is the paradise for others. Why would that be? It is the viewing, the seeing and the perception. QUOTE: 'The best way to pay for a lovely moment is to enjoy it.' (Richard David Bach) We all can easily say that in loving someone else we must be careful not to get hurt. But this very resistance to let ourselves go, prohibits any likely advancement and success in love. As we go through life we have an opportunity to gain from our experiences. If we can do this with a certain degree of success we can call this having WISDOM. This principle also applies to love, although agreeably the understanding isn't so simple. But nevertheless we can expect to use wisdom to guide us where necessary. We must learn to enjoy the moments we encounter together. As humans we have the skill to adjust our life, gain knowledge, gain experience and plot a more fulfilling loving relationship. We are the controller! If we cannot find the knowledge we need to move forward in our reasoning, we must trust in the 'allowing'. Allow events to happen and go with the flow. This encourages a freedom and ALLOWS a new experience to develop. Today's excerpt is one that plots the way to paradise. Discover whether this resembles your proposed route. MY HEART SPEAKS Ah, Paradise exists in so very many places. It can be found in a quaint little restaurant, dimly lit by candlelight; on a beach at twilight, with a dinghy's bell heard in the distance; it exists in a park, on a blanket, spread beneath the trees, with gaiety and laughter heard all around. It's a state of mind between two people that occurs when love - sometimes gently and quietly, sometimes with intensity and fervour - enters the threshold of the mind, and swiftly carries them into a warm, revered mood, and a locus* filled with awe. If you've never been to Paradise, it's Magic - the possibilities, limitless. To get there, you must close your eyes and open your heart; let the real you unfold and blossom. Once Paradise is discovered, your heart and soul will flourish and both will dance in jubilation. You'll see life in a way you may never have imagined. It's metaphorically flying... It's Euphoria. Paradise is a way of life between two and is a constant behaviour. It stays steady regardless of what life presents. It takes time and doesn't happen instantaneously. It must be nurtured and protected, by two mature people who realize life not only has great trials, but also offers tremendous joy, especially when shared. Yes, everyone wants the fairy tale - to be loved, and love that one special person they have been seeking their whole life. But very few are willing to share their heart and soul in the manner required and, initially perhaps, they don't realize when they've made that connection. We are a very quick people. We want instant gratification - we want soul connection and instantaneous love. When we don't get it, we, quite simply, forsake those who offer that which we seek because those offerings may not be readily apparent and take time to unearth. Instead, we choose to take the road most travelled, awaiting the next opportunity; we cling to the hope that Paradise might be found when we knock upon the next available door. Very few want to board the slow train to Paradise, because taking the slow train means being patient. It means not only offering our strengths to support the other's weaknesses but also accepting the other's strengths to provide a foundation for our own weaknesses. Taking the slow train means giving freely of ourselves and being open and willingly receptive to the offerings of others. Where does the slow train go? On a metaphorical flight - to Euphoria. Ultimate destination? Paradise. *Locus - a line, plane, or place, every point of which satisfies a given condition and which contains no point that does not satisfy this condition. (Tami C Ryan, October 20, 2002) QUOTE: 'As human beings, our greatness lies not so much in being able to remake the world - that is the myth of the 'atomic age' - as in the being able to remake ourselves.' (Mohandas Karamchand Ghandi)


"Celestine Prophecy" and Romanticism poem [any insights welcomed]?
the movie "Celestine Prophecy" and how it helps you further understand the elements of nature/romanticism anyone want to build upon these examples? *Wordsworth?s sonnet, ?The World Is Too Much with Us? and the conflict he portrays between the urban society he resides in and the natural world around him *Percy Bysshe Shelley?s ?Ode to the West Wind? and his portrayal of the power of nature *Coleridge?s, ?The Rime of the Ancient Mariner? and the interdependence of humanity and nature and the danger of being isolated from a connection to nature.

Girls and guys this is about your crush!?
When you are near them in class, or wherever, a social event or something, do you feel an attraction/energy between you two that you can't really describe in words. If you have ever seen The Celestine Prophecy, it is sort of related to that. Everyone has an energy and when there is attraction, this energy can be felt. Today in class, a girl behind me was crossing her legs toward me and looking at me and I felt it. A girl was doing flirty body language signals, and mirroring my body language. Another time a girl stood about 12 inches in front of me with her back facing me and I could feel it then too. By the way, this was after we just had an intense eye contact connection of our 2 souls. Do you feel this energy?
