More From Anthony De Mello

Chandresh relishes reactions. genuine reactions, not mere polite applause. he often values the reactions over the show itself. a show without an audience is nothing, after all. in the response of the audience, that is where the power of performance lives.
Reactions Applause Genuine
The conscious mind determines the actions, the unconscious mind determines the reactions; and the reactions are just as important as the actions.
Mind Important Action
There are only two emotions: love and fear. all positive emotions come from love, all negative emotions from fear. from love flows happiness, contentment, peace, and joy. from fear comes anger, hate, anxiety and guilt. it's true that there are only two primary emotions, love and fear. but it's more accurate to say that there is only love or fear, for we cannot feel these two emotions together, at exactly the same time. they're opposites. if we're in fear, we are not in a place of love. when we're in a place of love, we cannot be in a place of fear. copyright: elisabeth kubler-ross family limited partnership.

First thoughts are the everyday thoughts. everyone has those. second thoughts are the thoughts you think about the way you think. people who enjoy thinking have those. third thoughts are thoughts that watch the world and think all by themselves. they’re rare, and often troublesome. listening to them is part of witchcraft.

I'm able to lead my life as well as make a film. my wife and my friends and people around me know that i do tend to distance myself a little bit during the making of a film, but i have to, it's a natural part of the process for me because you are indulging in the headspace of somebody else, you are investing in the psychology of somebody else and you are becoming somebody else, and so there isn't enough room for you and that somebody else.

Marriage i think for women is the best of opiates. it kills the thoughts that think about the thoughts, it is the best of opiates. so said maria. but too long in solitude she'd dwelt, and too long her thoughts had felt their strength. so when the man drew near, out popped her thoughts and covered him with fear. poor maria! better that she had kept her thoughts on a chain, for now she's alone again and all in pain; she sighs for the man that went and the thoughts that stay to trouble her dreams by night and her dreams by day.

Dream Reality Ideas
I have a congenital desire to contradict; my whole life is merely a chain of sad and unsuccessful contradictions to heart and mind. when faced with enthusiasm, i am seized by a midwinter freeze, and i suppose that frequent dealings with sluggish phlegmatics would have made a passionate dreamer.
