"Imagine removing love from yourself, what would remain of yourself... it's like removing your air... What would life be if we took away love? It would be nothing... Love is our heart. It is who we are"

"When the relationship breaks up the #love, that we believed was dependent on and caused by that person, seems to disappear with them. It doesn't disappear, it just goes back into the background, but because it remains in the background we still have this longing so we go for the next #relationship"

"The warm feeling is the echo of love in the #body. The experience of love or our true nature - of love - is not an experience. It's the nature of being. It's the natural condition of all #relationship. When that recognition takes place it has an impact on the body and the mind"

"It's fine to fall in love with everyone. Really, we should fall in everyone. We do fall in love with everyone. That's the quality of #friendship that we find in these gatherings... There's this quality of love, of openness, of undefended. Your heart melts"

"What is referred in the traditions as enlightenment or awakening or illumination is not some extraordinary experience. It is simply the recognition of our own being as it truly is. Our own being is not more present in some people than in others. It is equally present in all people"

"No need to manipulate experience in any way. Our own self-aware being shines equally brightly in a deep depression as it does in an ecstasy. We say "I am depressed" or we say " I am ecstatic". The "I am" shines equally brightly in both experiences."

The Fall.

I failed again.
Took up my pen
in anger's bitter cost.
All that love has lost...

"... a being's knowledge of itself. In the religious traditions, this absolute knowledge is referred to as God or the absolute. In other words, our knowledge of ourself, as we essentially are, is God's knowledge of himself or herself shining, in each of our minds."

Night, to become you
is to hold the origin of all things

to be light
is to dissolve into the embrace of shadow

to be moon
is to bow before the sun as eternal fire

yet in your vanishing night
the world forgets itself

and #learning is revealed
as the endless unfolding of silence

What if love
is not about expansion and #learning
but being comfortable,
peaceful, adored...
I am flawed and so is he,
but we're alike -
beautiful, loving souls...
if I can say that about myself too.
What I'm looking for now is love.

The desire for universal salvation
is a #reflection of one's beaming heart.
Do all flowers blossom under such a light
or do some require more darkness to grow?

"Love is not a feeling that one person has towards another. It is the dissolution of two people. Love is not a relationship. It is the collapse of relationship. The absence of relationship. It is then expressed in relationship, yes, but the actual experience of love is the dissolution"

"Every time we think unkindly of anyone, let alone express it, we are, at that moment, consigning that being, in our minds, to a sense of separation, limitation. In doing so, we are substantiating the sense of separation in ourself, and that is #blasphemy.'

Epicurus' saying.
Sums it up for me.

"What in particular are suicidal people hopeless about? If #hopelessness is key, why then do relatively few hopeless people die by #suicide? In my view, the answer... is perceived #burdomesomeness and failed #belongingness and... hopelessness is not sufficient"

There is still #time to go outside.
The sun is out and shining;
blue unveiled by clouds;
connecting us to the vast universe.
Why don't I have the motivation or
energy to walk?
I could listen to an audiobook,
wrap up warm in coat and mits.
alone, exposed...
I fear that.

15-20% of people with bipolar disorder die by suicide. Now I know why I've been given help over the past 3 years but never had been before.

I applied to dignitas today.
I feel the heavy weight lifting.
A painless way out for me
and less pain for my parents
and others who know me,
by it being an end without violence,
an end without pain.
