greed

Post by sweetwater » August 27th, 2014, 10:53 am

In most of us there is very little passion. We may be lustful, we may be longing for something, we may be wanting to escape from something, and all this does give one a certain intensity. But unless we awaken and feel our way into this flame of passion without a cause, we shall not be able to understand that which we call sorrow. To understand something you must have passion, the intensity of complete attention. Where there is the passion for something, which produces contradiction, conflict, this pure flame of passion cannot be; and this pure flame of passion must exist in order to end sorrow, dissipate it completely. - Krishnamurti, The Book of Life

how words decide in themselves the interpretation of them
as to whether it is subjective in the context of location
physical and psychological

or whether it is simply the need to express oneself

what is the difference between the desire of something
and the flame of passion as 'k' suggests

after reading a good idea and wanting to become
a part of something as social being

wouldn't anyone e inclined to desire the flame of passion
or desire and long for and move toward

a life worth living

?????

being passionate about the silence and contemplation
and mediative entering into the world

as opposed to talking a good talk
speaking a poem

as if we are not only afraid of the silence
or the quietude

but we lack the understanding of it

beautiful- and what perfect words in an imperfect world- nice,,

reason is over rated, as is logic and common sense-i much prefer the passions of a crazy old woman, cats and dogs and jungle foliage- tropic rain-and a defined sense of who brings the stars up at night and the sun up in the morning---

dig it !....without the fire that often has nothing to do with income we are lost....treading water in a sea of distractions often perpetuated by pop culture....find your place on your own......add this and that from here...and there....touch your core
If you do not change your direction
you may end up where you are heading
