The One Quality

Just one quality of the Buddha has to be remembered.

He consists only of one quality: witnessing.

This small word witnessing contains the whole of spirituality.

Witness that you are not the body.

Witness that you are not the mind.

Witness that you are only a witness.

As the witnessing deepens, you start becoming drunk with the divine.

That is what is called ecstasy.

~Osho

The Method of Zen

The method of Zen is

To baffle, excite, puzzle and exhaust the intellect

Until it is realised that intellection is only thinking *about*

It will provoke, irritate and again exhaust the emotions

Until it is realised that emotion is only feeling *about*

And then it contrives when the disciple has been brought to an intellectual and emotional impasse

To bridge the gap between second-hand conceptual contact

With reality and first-hand experience.

~Alan Watts

Oneness

To me there is no difference between one person and another

I behold all as soul-reflections of the one God.

I can't think of anyone as a stranger, for I know that we are all part of the One Spirit.

~Paramahansa Yogananda

................................................................................

From a hologrammatic viewpoint

...You are one little physical image

that reflects all of humanity

When projected spiritually upon the cosmic screen.

~Wayne Dyer
