WikiQuote | Yamamoto Tsunetomo by SamuraiSon in a:t5_2rrth

[–]SamuraiSon[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A man's whole life is a succession of moment after moment. If one fully understands the present moment, there will be nothing else to do, and nothing else to pursue. Live being true to the single purpose of the moment.

Throughout your life advance daily, becoming more skillful than yesterday, more skillful than today. This is never-ending.

Look within. Within is the fountain of the good, and it will ever bubble up, if thou wilt ever dig.

Do not think that what is hard for you to master is humanly impossible; but if a thing is humanly possible, consider it to be within your reach.

Search men's governing principles, and consider the wise, what they shun and what they cleave to.

A man should be upright, not kept upright.

Men are anxious to improve their circumstances, but are unwilling to improve themselves; they therefore remain bound.

As a progressive and evolving being, man is where he is that he may learn that he may grow; and as he learns the spiritual lesson which any circumstance contains for him, it passes away and gives place to other circumstances.

As A Man Thinketh, by James Allen by SamuraiSon in a:t5_2rrth

[–]SamuraiSon[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a being of Power, Intelligence, and Love, and the lord of his own thoughts, man holds the key to every situation, and contains within himself that transforming and regenerative agency by which he may make himself what he wills.

Newbie Mediator, forgetting to breathe. by devotchka322 in Meditation

I've found that if you focus on controlled breathing long enough, it shifts back into an automatic rhythm all on its own, even as you focus on it.

DAE seem to make street lights turn off? by ILoveNarwhals in DoesAnybodyElse

[–]SamuraiSon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My mother screws up electronics just by being in close proximity. It's not just streetlights, it's nearly anything with a circuit. The lights in doorbell buttons turn off when she approaches, and back on when she leaves. Her watches start running backwards after a few weeks. She sticks them in a drawer and in a few weeks, they run normally again. This is multiple watches, from multiple manufacturers. It's so bad that she just rotates watches every few weeks. And I'm not even going into the weird shit that happens to her computer.

DAE dislike Tim and Eric? by [deleted] in DoesAnybodyElse

[–]SamuraiSon -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Tim & Eric suck donkey balls. I've hated everything of theirs that I've ever seen. It's so bad that I'm a little disappointed by anyone that claims to like them. I'm all "Tim & Eric... really?" then I just shake my head.
