~William Blake
"Error is Created. Truth is Eternal.
Error, or Creation, will be Burned up, & then, & not till Then, Truth or Eternity will appear.
It is Burnt up the Moment Men cease to behold it.
I assert for My Self that I do not behold the outward Creation & that to me it is hindrance & not Action; it is as the Dirt upon my feet, No part of Me.
"What," it will be Question'd, "When the Sun rises, do you not see a round disk of fire somewhat like a Guinea?"
Oh no, no, I see an Innumerable company of the Heavenly host crying, 'Holy, Holy, Holy, is the Lord God Almighty.'
I question not my Corporeal or Vegetative Eye any more than I would Question a Window concerning Sight. I look thro' it & not with it."
~A Vision of the Last Judgement, by William Blake

Posted: 10/4/2009 8:45:55 PM | "Any so-called material thing that you want is merely a symbol:
you want it not for itself, but because it will content your spirit for the moment."
~Mark Twain
I want to comment on this one. I want to change the material thing to mean any material thing beyond what is needed for survival. Any time you are hungry, thirsty or cold, your spirit sits by waiting while you go and find food, drink and shelter. And yet, this is the journey that often leads us to a greater spirit...that of compassion for those less fortunate, and we learn fortitude, perserverence, hope and the benefit of faith, if we have chosen to use it. | |

“Don’t go off sightseeing,
The real journey is right here.
The great excursion starts from exactly where you are.
You are the world.

You are the secret.
You are the wide opened.

You are the medicine.
You are the cure for your own sorrow.”

as do the grains of sand passing through the narrow neck of the hourglass,
then we are bound to break our own physical and mental structure."
