More From Rumi

The past is dead, and has no resurrection; but the future is endowed with such a life, that it lives to us even in anticipation. the past is, in many things, the foe of mankind; the future is, in all things, our friend. in the past is no hope; the future is both hope and fruition. the past is the text-book of tyrants; the future is the bible of the free. those who are solely governed by the past stand like lot's wife, crystallized in the act of looking backward, and forever incapable of looking before.

Why is it so much easier to talk to a stranger? why do we feel we need to disconnect in order to connect? if i wrote "dear sofia" or "dear boomer" or "dear lily's great-aunt" at the top of this postcard, wouldn't that change the words that followed? of course it would. but the question is: when i wrote "dear lily," was that just a version of "dear myself"? i know it was more than that. but it was also less than that, too

Though i do not believe in the order of things, still the sticky little leaves that come out in the spring are dear to me, the blue sky is dear to me, some people are dear to me, whom one loves sometimes, would you believe it, without even knowing why; some human deeds are dear to me, which one has perhaps long ceased believing in, but still honors with one's heart, out of old habit..." --ivan karamazov

"he who controls the past commands the future. he who commands the future conquers the past.
Education Past Thinking
When we think we have been hurt by someone in the past, we build up defenses to protect ourselves from being hurt in the future. so the fearful past causes a fearful future and the past and future become one.
Hurt Fear Past
To dwell in the here and now does not mean you never think about the past or responsibly plan for the future. the idea is simply not to allow yourself to get lost in regrets about the past or worries about the future. if you are firmly grounded in the present moment, the past can be an object of inquiry, the object of your mindfulness and concentration. you can attain many insights by looking into the past. but you are still grounded in the present moment.

Buddhist Zen Proverb Ifs
Although you can find certain differences among the buddhist philosophical schools about how the universe came into being, the basic common question addressed is how the two fundamental principles-external matter and internal mind or consciousness-although distinct, affect one another. external causes and conditions are responsible for certain of our experiences of happiness and suffering. yet we find that it is principally our own feelings, our thoughts and our emotions, that really determine whether we are going to suffer or be happy.
Happiness Buddhist Philosophical
The general notions about human understanding...which are illustrated by discoveries in atomic physics are not in the nature of things wholly unfamiliar, wholly unheard of, or new. even in our own culture, they have a history, and in buddhist and hindu thought a more considerable and central place. what we shall find is an exemplification, an encouragement, and a refinement of old wisdom.
