We do not grow absolutely, chronologically. we grow sometimes in one dimension, and not in another, unevenly. we grow partially. we are relative. we are mature in one realm, childish in another. the past, present, and future mingle and pull us backward, forward, or fix us in the present. we are made of layers, cells, constellations.

We Do Not Grow Absolutely, Chronologically. We

Anais Nin
We do not grow absolutely, chronologically. we grow sometimes in one dimension, and not in another, unevenly. we grow partially. we are relative. we are mature in one realm, childish in another. the past, present, and future mingle and pull us backward, forward, or fix us in the present. we are made of layers, cells, constellations.

More From Anais Nin

The ant's a centaur in his dragon world. pull down thy vanity, it is not man made courage, or made order, or made grace, pull down thy vanity, i say pull down. learn of the green world what can be thy place in scaled invention or true artistry, pull down thy vanity, paquin pull down! the green casque has outdone your elegance.

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.

You unlock this door with the key of imagination. beyond it is another dimension: a dimension of sound, a dimension of sight, a dimension of mind. you’re moving into a land of both shadow and substance, of things and ideas. you’ve just crossed over into… the twilight zone.

I think that i've always written about things that are very personal, but initially, i coded everything. i buried everything under layers and layers and layers of code, but the signifiers of my emotionality were there for me. i knew where the magnets were, behind the gyprock, and the magnets were very powerful. i think they had to be powerful for me, otherwise the reader wouldn't have a reciprocal experience.

No thought about the past or future can pull you away from your present peace and joy. the universe exists in this present moment. no desire can pull you away from this present peace, not even the desire to become a buddha or the desire to save all beings. know that to become a buddha and to save all beings can only be realized on the foundation of the pure peace of the present moment.

Peace Inspiration Humanity
Every one of us can make a contribution. and quite often we are looking for the big things and forget that, wherever we are, we can make a contribution. sometimes i tell myself, i may only be planting a tree here, but just imagine what's happening if there are billions of people out there doing something. just imagine the power of what we can do.

No war ought ever to be undertaken but under circumstances which render all intercourse of courtesy between the combatants impossible. it is a bad thing that men should hate each other; but it is far worse that they should contract the habit of cutting one another's throats without hatred. war is never lenient but where it is wanton; when men are compelled to fight in self-defence, they must hate and avenge: this may be bad; but it is human nature.
Peace War Hate
War-making is one of the few activities that people are not supposed to view 'realistically'; that is, with an eye to expense and practical outcome. in all-out war, expenditure is all-out, unprudent – war being defined as an emergency in which no sacrifice is excessive.
