“After a bitter quarrel, some resentment must remain.
What can one do about it?
Therefore the sage keeps his half of the bargain
But does not exact his due.
A man of Virtue performs his part,
But a man without Virtue requires others to fulfill their obligations.
The Tao of heaven is impartial.
It stays with good men all the time.”

~ Lao Tzu

“By and by, there will be a great awakening; then we will know that this is all a great dream. All the while, the fools think they are awake, appearing to understand things, calling this man ruler and that man herdsman. How stupid! You are dreaming. When I say you are dreaming, I am dreaming too. These words may sound like double-talk. Yet after ten thousand generations, we will meet a great sage who can explain all this. Or it may happen any time now.”

~ Chuang Tzu

Thought can never be free. Your thoughts are not ‘yours’. They come from the past. They are as old as the hills.

Awesome take. If you know you know #nostr

Krishnamurti would always talk about the importance of doubt, which western culture had replaced with blind faith:

“Doubt is a good thing. However, doubt must be kept on a leash. To hold doubt intelligently on a leash is to enquire, but to doubt everything has no meaning.”

Lone wolf?

I Am All

by J. Krishnamurti

I am the blue firmament and the black cloud,
I am the waterfall and the sound thereof,
I am the graven image and the stone by the wayside,
I am the rose and the falling petals thereof,
I am the flower of the field and the sacred lotus,
I am the sanctified waters and the still pool,
I am the tree that towereth among the mountains
And the blade of grass in the peaceful lane,
I am the tender spring leaf and the evergreen foliage.

I am the barbarian and the sage,
I am the impious and the pious,
I am the ungodly and the godly,
I am the harlot and the virgin,
I am the liberated and the man of time,
I am the the indestructible and the destructible,
I am the renunciation and the proud possessor.
I am all
few know me.

I am neither This nor That,
I am neither detached nor attached,
I am neither heaven nor hell — few know me —
I am neither philosophies nor creeds,
I am neither the Guru nor the disciple.
O friend,
I contain all.

I am clear as the mountain stream,
Simple as the new spring leaf.

Happy are they
That meet with me.

Ah thank you all 🙏

Starting to feel that ‘Chancellor on brink of second bailout for banks’ energy…

Phoenix is non-custodial right?

Does Phoenix have to be running to receive a payment?

I wonder if nostr:npub1mutnyacc9uc4t5mmxvpprwsauj5p2qxq95v4a9j0jxl8wnkfvuyque23vg could do the same since federations are kind of iffy right now.

Sam is one of the greats.

“Don’t you know this is coming?

Don’t you know there’s going to come a day when you’ll be sick or someone close to you will die and you’ll look back on the kinds of things that captured your attention, and you’ll think, what was I doing?”

~ Sam Harris

Sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me.

“Assaulting” someone’s ego is no different than making fun of their imaginary friend. Of course one shouldn’t be a jerk about it, but we have to face facts. You are nothing.

Reminder to parents:

Authority is evil.

Weird how the US House of 𝘙𝘦𝘱𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘷𝘦𝘴 doesn’t use LLMs to distill the views of the people whom they supposedly represent.

“Just do what needs to be done.

Never take advantage of power.”

- Lao Tzu

#nostr is open to people that are good

#nostr is also open to people that are not good

Because openness is goodness

Truthful words are not beautiful.
Beautiful words are not truthful.
Good men do not argue.
Those who argue are not good.
Those who know are not learned.
The learned do not know.

The sage never tries to store things up.
The more he does for others, the more he has.
The more he gives to others, the greater his abundance.
The Tao of heaven is pointed but does no harm.
The Tao of the sage is work without effort.

- Lao Tsu

Thought is a crypt - a catacomb Echoing the sounds of the dead

The dead cry out for the future

For security

But every sound falls

Into silence

Never take anyone’s word that something is right or that something is wrong.

See for yourself. This is intelligence.

True democracy protects the individual from the mob.

“Krishna, Jesus, Lao Tzu, Buddha, Pythagoras, Socrates, these people have worked hard to create this garden, and now we are getting ready to burn it totally. Before it is too late, wake up.”

- Osho
