Geist & Passions

Di Antara Hati yang Tidak Tahu Kata Pergi dan Luka yang Tidak Kenal Kata Sembuh caesarallen.wordpress.com/2022/09/08/di-…

"Dear God, give me a state of mind in which I would not want anything from anyone anymore, not even from You..." ~Sri Ramana Maharshi #TheFinalPrayer

“Everything is deterministic. But just because it’s deterministic doesn’t mean it’s predictable. For three reasons: 1. Wave function of quantum mechanics; 2. Chaos; 3. Can’t predict the future growth of knowledge.”

Kenapa kok "ada"? Kenapa tidak "tidak ada" saja? Pertanyaan yang mengusik tapi bukan hadir sebagai pengusik, karena nyatanya aku tak terusik. Anasir di setiap celah yang tak henti-hentinya diam-diam hadir mengiringi. Terima kasih untuk "ada" nya. Tanpa "pernah" atau "sudah".

"Show me someone who isn’t a slave! One is a slave to lust, another to greed, another to power, and all are slaves to fear... No servitude is more abject than the self-imposed." - Seneca

Suaka yang bukan tempat, melainkan waktu...

"...meski ada penghasut, aku tetap menyesalkan yang terhasut. Maklum mentalitas jalan pintas." Hasutan adalah jahat, tapi kepicikan dan kebodohanlah yang mengizinkan berlangsungnya kejahatan tersebut...

Aku pernah melewati kalimat ini. Aku tau akan berhenti setelah tanda baca ini. Aku bisa melanjutkan setelah koma, tapi aku memilih untuk diam sejenak... Untuk kemudian sadar bahwa di ujung akhir kata nanti aku akan kembali. Lalu siapsiap kembawa bait ini melengkapi stanza 2.

They told me it's called anger. But it feels like sadness, set on fire.

"...he just needed to avoid feeding the fire and allow it to burn out on its own...."

Resting, instead of resisting...

The closest thing of all, the greatest gift, the most present present, the karma...

Forget everything and run, or face everything and rise. The choice is Yours.

It is not the sign of a healthy soul to find beauty in superficial things -- the adulation of the crowd, fancy cars, enormous estates, glittering awards. #StillnessIsTheKey

How much truth can a spirit tolerate, how much truth is it willing to risk? Every achievement, every step forward in knowledge comes from courage From severity towards yourself, from cleanliness with respect to yourself TAC 3 #Nietzsche

The sun has not gone; it’s just that the planet is looking the other way. What is needed is not a conclusion, but a turnaround...

Perjalanan ternyata lebih ke apa yang terjadi di dalam pikiran kita sementara badan kita bergerak dan indera kita mempersepsi.
