If we silence our thoughts we'll hear the sound." ~ #ArtsieladieQu ..And yet, with those we profess to Love, A wave or two, maybe three... Is all we think they're worthy of. <3 |

| It is not surprising that we keep looking for love, because we are all born of love. We come out of love. All of us are nothing but vibrations of love. We are sustained by love, and in the end we merge back into love…. This world is nothing but a school of love; our relationships with our husband or wife, with our children and parents, with our friends and relatives are the university in which we are meant to learn what love and devotion truly are. Yet the love we experience through other people is just a shadow of the love of the inner Self There is a sublime place inside us where love dwells…. The love that pulses in the cave of the heart does not depend on anything outside. It does not expect anything. It is completely independent. Muktanada |
| "Love is within all of us. Some have found this Love within; some are still searching. When one finds and then knows Love within themselves, and so Loves themselves, one will then radiate Love to others AND recognise it when they see it in others." ~ <3 Quotes-By-Artsieladie |

| Morpheus: The Matrix is a system, Neo. That system is our enemy. But when you're inside, you look around, what do you see? Businessmen, teachers, lawyers, carpenters. The very minds of the people we are trying to save. But until we do, these people are still a part of that system and that makes them our enemy. You have to understand, most of these people are not ready to be unplugged. And many of them are so inured, so hopelessly de- pendent on the system, that they will fight to protect it. Matrix — with Carla Tadeia. |
| Posted comment by - Brian Kelly... Interview With Jim Morrison: Lizzie James: I think fans of The Doors see you as a savior, the leader who'll set them all free. How do you feel about that? It's kind of a heavy burden, isn't it? Jim: It's absurd. How can I set free anyone who dosen't have the guts to stand up alone and declare his own freedom? I think it's a lie--people claim they want to be free--everybod are terrified to be set free-they hold on to their chains. They fight anyone who tries to break those chains. It's their security....Ho anyone to set them free if they don't really want to be free? Lizzie: Why do you think people fear freedom? Jim: I think people resist freedom because they're afraid of the unknown. But it's ironic ... That unknown was once very well known. It's where our souls belong ... The only solution is to confront them -- confront yourself -- with the greatest fear imaginable. Expose yourself to yourself to your deepest fear. After that, fear has no power, and fear of freedom shrinks and vanishes. You are free. Lizzie: What do mean when you say "freedom"? Jim: There are different kinds of freedom -- there's a lot of misunderstandi reality for a role. You trade in your senses for an act. You give up your ability to feel and in exchange, put on a mask. There can't be any large-scale revolution until there's a personal revolution, on an individual level. It's got to happen inside first. You can take away a man's political freedom and you won't hurt him -- unless you take away his freedom to feel. That can destroy him. Lizzie: But how can anyone else have the power to take away from your freedom to feel? Jim: Some people surrender their freedom willingly--but others are forced to surrender it. Imprisonment begins with birth. Society, parents; they refuse to allow you to keep the freedom you are born with. There are subtle ways to punish a person for daring to feel. You see that everyone around you has destroyed his true feeling nature. You imitate what you see. Lizzie: Are you saying that we are, in effect, brought up to defend and perpetuate a society that deprives people of the freedom to feel? Jim: Sure ... teachers,relig want and expect from us. They demand all the time that we preform feelings for them. We're like actors-turned loose in this world to wander in search of a phantom ... endlessly searching for a half-forgotten shadow of our lost reality. When others demand that we become the people they want us to be, they force us to destroy the person we really are. It's a subtle kind of murder ... the most loving parents and relatives commit this murder with smiles on their faces. Lizzie: Do you think it's possible for an individual to free himself from these repressive forces on his own -- all alone? Jim: That kind of freedom can't be granted. Nobody can win it for you. You have to do it on your own. If you look to somebody else to do it for you -- somebody out- side yourself -- you're still depending on others. You're still vulnerable to those repressive,evi Lizzie: But isn't it possible for people who want that freedom to unite -- to combine their strength, maybe just to strengthen each other? It must be possible. Jim: Friends can help each other. A true friend is someone who lets you have total freedom to be yourself-and especially to feel. Or not feel. Whatever you happen to be feeling at the moment is fine with them. That's what real love amounts to -- letting a person be what he really is ... Most people love you for who you pre- tend to be ... To keep their love, you keep pretending -- preforming. You get to love your pretense ... It's true, we're locked in an image, an act -- and the sad thing is, people get so used to their image -- they grow attached to their masks. They love their chains. They forgot all about who they really are. And if you try to remind them, they hate you for it -- they feel like you're trying to steal their most precious possession. Lizzie: It's ironic -- it's sad. Can't they see that what you're trying to show them is the way to freedom? Jim: Most people have no idea what they're missing. Or society places a supreme value on control -- hiding what you feel. Our culture mocks "primitive cultures" and prides itself on supression of natural instincts and impulses. Lizze: In some of your poetry, you openly admire and praise primitive people -- Indians, for instance. Do you mean that it's not human beings in general but our par- ticular society that's flawed and destructive? Jim: Look at how other cultures live --p eacefully, in harmony with the earth, the forest -- animals. They don't build war machines and invest millions of dollars in at- tacking other countries whose political ideals don't happen to agree with their own. Lizze: We live in a sick society. Jim: It's true ... and part of the disease is not being aware that we're diseased ... Our society has too much to hold on to,and value -- freedom ends up at the bot- tom of the list. Lizze: But isn't there something an artist con do? If you didn't feel you, as an artist, could accomplish something, how could you go on? Jim: I offer images -- I conjure memories of freedom that can still be reached -- like The Doors, right? But we can only open the doors -- we can't drag people through. I can't free them unless they want to be free -- more than anything else ... Maybe primitive people have less bullshit to let go of, to give up. A person has to be willing to give up everything -- not just wealth. All the bullshit he's been taught -- all society brainwashing. You have to let go of all that to get to the other side. Most people aren't willing to do that. |
"Desire"
A lover asked his beloved,
Do you love yourself more than you love me?
Beloved replied, I have died to myself and I live for you.
I've disappeared from myself and my attributes,
I am present only for you.
I've forgotten all my learnings,
but from knowing you I've become a scholar.
I've lost all my strength, but from your power I am able.
I love myself...I love you.
I love you...I love myself.
Rumi

"When we open ourselves up to receive how others perceive, we then enrich our own lives." ~ Quotes-By-Artsieladie
| "When we stop allowing societal stigmas to keep us from Loving one another, hence giving power to hatred and resentment, we will then be free to Love one another freely without judgment, without conditions that are designed by default to undermine that which connects and bonds us all ...and this IS Love." |

"Awesomeness"
| Be the best of who you can be, Awesome then you shall be! Be the best of who you are, You will shine then like a star! Fill your heart with Love, For hate, there'll be no space! Brightly shine your Light, Like a beacon every place! Awesomeness needs no announcing, For words don't make it so, Awesomeness shines from within, From Love and Light that glow! |
