Best advice you've ever learned?

Migrated topic.
Do zazen everyday (or any well done meditation)! It will make every psychedelic experience much easier (as well as any other experience in fact).
 
This has been real fun to read. BTW

okay... some stuff that I learned...

"God is always asking us this question... do you want to live now?" - wakinglife

'That the only world we can know is made of pure love.' - me

"All our hearts are just made out of strings to be pulled" Issac brok

embrace impermanence through compassion

"he who binds himself to joy, does a winged life destroy, he kisses his joy as it flies lives in eternity's sunrise' William Blake

"My advice to people today is as follows: if you take the game of life seriously, if you take your nervous system seriously, if you take your sense organs seriously, if you take the energy process seriously, you must turn on, tune in, and drop out."
-Tim leary

and of course bill hicks "we are all the one consciousness of god, trying to realize it's self."

oh and incubus, 'Unlearn me'

Thank you,

JVH
 
Not really an advice but I found it to be so true:

Arthur C. Clarke said:
The person one loves never really exists, but is a projection focused through the lens of the mind onto whatever screen it fits with least distortion.
 
I found these on a meme titled "7 Lovely Logics" and wanted to pass them along.

1.) Make Peace with your Past so it doesn't spoil your Present.

2.) What others think of you is none of your business.

3.) Time heals almost everything. Give the Time, some Time.

4.) No one is the reason of your Happiness; except You.

5.) Don't compare your Life to others. You have no idea what their journey is all about.

6.) Stop thinking so much. It's okay not to know all of the answers.

7.) Smile. You don't own all of the problems of the World.
 
KNOW THYSELF.

Realizing that everyone is abstracting their own reality, none more/less true than your own. How they interperet things is no less right/wrong than yours, since you'll never be in their shoes and be able to observe that. It makes all the things you find abrasive about others less significant, and instills humility upon judgement of others and their actions.

Do onto others as they do unto you, judge lest not ye be judged.

Everything is relative, the razor's edge is balance. Observe and consider your actions with more effort than the actions themselves.

Insanity is far easier to see in others than ourseleves.

Belief is a tool, not a disease. It can be used productively, or abused.

Balance, is the key to happiness. Stray too far into focus on one thing/idea/effort and neglect the infinite possibility life provides, and you will regret the decision.

What seperates insanity from genius is the ability to use that energy both have in common productively. One lacks dicipline and perspective, the other recognizes it as the most important factors to consider in all lifes challenges.

Take time to apprecciate what you have, and never forget theres someone out there who has is much worse than you. Always be open to help those who are less fortunate than you, because if you were walking around in their shoes and vice versa, they would gladly do the same for you.

Don't get caught up on making sense of everything. It only leads to insanity. Life is chaotic.
 
"Do not worry, all you need is love."

Spoken in my mind over and over on a very difficult high dose LSD trip.
 
Arise, and do not sorrow for this fleeting world.
Be at peace, and pass through the world with happiness.
If the nature of the world were constant,
The turn of others would not have descended to you.
