From back of my Notebook - 9

Every few months I will look at the last pages of my notebook and see these scribbles. At times not even remembering why I wrote those, but some of them feel right and worth starting a dialogue about. From time to time I share those and here is a 9^th serving of those (also links for past 8 below for re-taste if you will ) . These are random and not all interconnected, but like I said; scribbles…..

Let me know your thoughts.

  

Rebel with cause is a rebel. Rebel without cause is nuisance.

Sometimes it is better to provide a cause to the rebel than addressing the nuisance.

Simplifying complexity is a complex undertaking.

Complexity is natural, simplifying takes effort.

Accepting complex is simple and mostly stagnates the growth.

Only the caterpillar who tackles the complex walls of pupa can become the butterfly.

Mind has more power than physical self
Spirit has more power than mind
Still most get so engrossed in material and mind that spirit stays untouched.

Those who touch spirit know the futility of material reliance.

 Being spiritual not necessarily is abandoning material comforts, but stopping to identify with them and stopping to glorify material gratification.

Be grateful of what you have received

Be hopeful for what you May receive and
Be mindful of what you have lost
Be watchful of what you do
Be careful of what you wish
 

I am still as naïve as I ever was (so the seeker continues to seek.)

 I control what I don’t say but whatever I say controls me.

 The gift of speech can be a curse too.
