Step out of your house
Turn left
Or right
Then left again
Or maybe right
What does it matter really
You’re one with it all
Then enter the nearest wood
See how it is enchanted
And don’t forget
This is all you
You’re not walking anywhere
Not reaching any new place
[…]
Continue wandering in search of your inner hermitage… (READ MORE…)
“I’ve no problem because
I don’t mind what happens.
You understand?
I don’t mind if I fail or succeed,
I don’t mind if I have money or not money.
… I have no problem because
I don’t demand anything
from anybody or from life.
I wonder if you understand this.”
~ J. Krishnamurti

“Think ‘I am suffering’, and you are suffering.
Replace the thought ‘I am suffering’
with the thought ‘I am free, I am Freedom,
I am Consciousness, I am not the body’.
Do not kiss your ego by saying ‘I am suffering’,
rather kiss yourself by saying ‘I am Free’.”
~ Papaji

“You run into this amazingly beautiful paradox
that there is no ‘I’ at all and ‘I’ is everywhere,
and both of those are true simultaneously.
It’s about as much fun as you could possibly have.
There isn’t an ‘I’, and
the only thing that exists is one big ‘I’
shining out of everything.”

Read ‘Jerry Katz: Let the Scene See You’ on Paula Marvelly’s blog ‘The Culturium’.
JERRY KATZ has been interested in human consciousness since childhood, and has investigated many spiritual teachings. He is also a landscape photographer. For him, “photography is a journey toward honesty, beauty and self-discovery.” Jerry is the creator of the website ‘Nonduality: The Varieties of Expression’. He also founded ‘Nonduality Salon’, a forum that recognizes and welcomes both the ‘impossible’ and the ‘worthwhile’ expressions of nonduality. Since 1998, Jerry has published a free daily email letter, ‘The Nondual Highlights’. He lives in Halifax, Nova Scotia.

“Let the Awareness function.
Then the mind becomes quiet.
Motives disappear;
tranquility pervades the whole being.
In that state alone does the perception of Truth come.
And it comes naturally.
It is there.
It is revealed in a gentle manner.”

“You must go in quest of yourself,
and you will find yourself again only
in the simple and forgotten things.
Why not go into the forest for a time,
literally? Sometimes a tree tells you
more than can be read in books.”

Corinne Galois is a lover of art and photography living in Paris. She is very eclectic and is an observer of what I would call the small theatres of everyday life, her subjects ranging from abstract details, to the loveliness of nature, or the poetry of street life.

“There is only one dreamer,
the one Self,
dreaming many dreams.
In everybody there is a dream,
but the dreamer is the same,
the one Self,
which reflects itself
in each body
as I am.”

Dan Baumbach is an American photographer currently living in Colorado. He draws his inspiration from landscapes and the natural world, but looks “to do something more abstract that can be appreciated as more than a document of natural beauty.” He aims at “capturing little vignettes that pull us inward to experience our own beauty. … I want art to inform us of our higher nature, of the intrinsic beauty in all things: of the timelessness of existence.”
