If ever you find yourself straying from the crowd...questioning what you've been told to believe....daring to be different....know that you are in good company.....

"Great spirits have always found violent oppositions from mediocrities.the latter cannot understand it when a man does not thoughtlessly submit to hereditary prejudices but honestly and courageously uses his intelligence.”

Albert Einstein

"It is proof of a base and low mind for one to wish to think with the masses or majority, merely because the majority is the majority. Truth does not change because it is, or is not, believed by a majority of the people."

Giordano Bruno

"Either you think - or else others have to think for you and take power from you, pervert and discipline your natural tastes, civilize and sterilize you."

F Scott Fitzgerald

"The individual has always had to struggle to keep from being overwhelmed by the tribe. If you try it, you will be lonely often, and sometimes frightened. But no price is too high to pay for the privilege of owning yourself."

Nietzsche

To make known the UNKNOWN...ALWAYS

There..so it's done...my first blog up and running.....with its first ever post as well. :)

Most of the posts on this blog will range from quotes, passages and poetry that have inspired me along my journey in life, as well as serve as a repository for my reflections and insights on life, the human condition and the nature of reality...so that they are stored and not lost (even if it is just me who reads this blog :) )


If you've found your way to this blog, i'd like to think there is a reason for you to be here at this point in time in your life, reading whatever post it is you are reading. A reason which goes beyond you just killing a few minutes of time on the web surfing. A grander reason, a more profound reason, one which might not be apparent at first...but perhaps the passage that you read, the poetry that you happen to glance upon... stirs somethign in your soul...that causes that feeling of electricity in your body that we all get when we realize that we have just experienced somethign deeply profound and magical...but are not quite sure exactly what it is or the how and why of it.

It is my sincere hope that anything you read on this blog, will act as the spark which will lead you to search for more..to follow the longing in your heart and soul...to break the chains that bind us to our everyday mundane existence...to gain a better understanding and realization of the unfathomable beauty and wonder of life, and our role in it....and to validate your deepest knowing that there HAS to be somethign MORE......there just has to be....
in short ... to make known the unknown....

Our deepest fear

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It is not just in some of us; it is in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.
