“Nature has many tricks wherewith she convinces man of his infinity, – the ceaseless flow of the tides, the fury of storm, the shock of the earthquake, the long roll of heavens artillery, – but the most tremendous, the most stupefying of all, is the passive phase of the White Silence. All movement ceases, the sky clears, the heavens are as brass; the slightest whisper seems sacrilege, and man becomes timid, affrighted at the sound of his own voice. Sole speck of life journeying across the ghostly wastes of a dead world, he trembles at his audacity, realizes that his is a maggots life, nothing more. Strange thoughts arise unsummoned, and the mystery of all things strives for utterance. And the fear of death, of God, of the universe, comes over him, – the hope of the Resurrection and the life, the yearning for immortality, the vain striving of the imprisoned essence, – it is then, if ever, man walks alone with God.”
— Jack London

“The nature of the psyche reaches into obscurities far beyond the scope of our understanding. It contains as many riddles as the universe with its galactic systems, before whose majestic configurations only a mind lacking in imagination can fail to admit its own insufficiency. This extreme uncertainty of human comprehension makes the intellectualistic hubbub not only ridiculous, but also deplorably dull. If, therefore, from the needs of his own heart, or in accordance with the ancient lessons of human wisdom, or out of respect for the psychological fact that “telepathic” perceptions do occur, anyone should draw the conclusion that the psyche, in its deepest reaches, participates in a form of existence beyond space and time, and thus partakes of what is inadequately and symbolically described as “eternity”

“This is the irony: Buddhist meditation teachers counsel a kind of
detachment that should in theory leave you neither happy nor sad. But by
the end of one of these retreats, almost invariably, you’re happy. And
you’re happy in particular ways: more appreciative of beauty, feeling
more distance from ordinary anxieties, feeling more kinship with other
humans and with other forms of life. You’re also easier to be
around—less defensive, less emotionally reactive, etc.”

“The other day there was a beautiful whistling of
titmice - and now today one of them lay dead on the grass under the
house, which may well have been some fault of mine, as we dumped some
calcium chloride on a couple of anthills - not as a poison but as
something to move them elsewhere. What a miserable bunch of foolish
idiots we are! We kill everything around us even when we think we love
and respect nature and life. This sudden power to deal death all around
us simply by the way we live, and in total “innocence” and ignorance, is
by far the most disturbing symptom of our time.”

“It is not enough merely to look into the space of
happiness or sadness; it is important to have pure presence constant in
that flow. If the power of meditation is not constant, it is impossible
to remain long in the place of nondual perception. Thoughts that arise
intermittently will break the continuity, and radiating out from this,
like ripples on a pond, the poisonous taste of emotion will arise to
obstruct the meditation. As gross thoughts increase, ripples become
rough waves that intensify the emotion. Until subtle emotions are left
behind, we cannot eradicate suffering, so it is crucially important to
sustain the state of meditation. When we gain strong familiarity by
staying in that space for a long time, then no matter what thoughts
arise, whether gross or subtle, they will not be able to dislodge us:
upon recognizing the first thought, whatever thought it may be, in that
very moment, we realize it to be the play of the spontaneous creativity
of dharmakaya. Like a wave falling back into the ocean, the thought
vanishes into the dharmakaya. In that space of naked empty pure presence
that is the view, always cherishing thoughts of the five poisonous
emotions and all the movements of body, speech, and mind, and the acts
of eating, sleeping, moving, and sitting, we are known as the yogins and
yoginis who stand guard over the shifting dharmakaya display. This is
the supreme method of sustaining the essence of meditation. According to
Dzogchen teaching, this is unadulterated by any kind of focus; it is
called ‘the great meditation that is nonmeditation.’”
