the current which I dare to call my life

August 29th, 2005 by DhammaSeeker

The greatest sin is to be unconscious.
~ Carl Gustav Jung

And so, for the first time in my life perhaps I took the lamp, and went down to my inmost self. But as I moved further and further from the conventional certainties, I became aware that I was losing contact with myself. At each step of the descent a new person was disclosed within me … and when I had to stop my exploration because the path faded, I found a bottomless abyss at my feet, and out of it came–arising I know not whence–the current which I dare to call my life.
~ Teilhard de Chardin

an infinite expectation of the dawn

August 26th, 2005 by DhammaSeeker

To be awake is to be alive. I have never met a man who was quite awake. How could I have looked him in the face? We must learn to reawaken and keep ourselves awake, not by mechanical aids, by by an infinite expectation of the dawn.
~ Henry David Thoreau
