A Society of Island Universes

By: Pamela Leavey On: January 31, 2010 at 11:36 am

“We live together, we act on, and react to, one another; but always and in all circumstances we are by ourselves. The martyrs go hand in hand into the arena; they are crucified alone. Embraced, the lovers desperately try to fuse their insulated ecstasies into a single self-transcendence; in vain. By its very nature every embodied spirit is doomed to suffer and enjoy in solitude. Sensations, feelings, insights, fancies — all these are private and, except through symbols and at second hand, incommunicable. We can pool information about experiences, but never the experiences themselves. From family to nation, every human group is a society of island universes.” — Aldous Huxley, The Doors of Perception.

Daily Inspiration: Bliss

By: Pamela Leavey On: April 17, 2009 at 1:31 pm

From Deepak Chopra’s Power, Freedom, and Grace: Living from the Source of Lasting Happiness:

Joy and sorrow, happiness and suffering, are the play of opposites; they are transient because they are time-bound. Spirit, the essential you, is independent of the play of opposites; it dwells in the silent bliss of the eternal. And when you know yourself as this field of pure consciousness, then you are living from the source, which is bliss.

That’s why the key to lasting hapiness is to stop looking for it, and to know that you already have it.

I believe that happiness is a conscious choice, that does not come from outside sources. There are times when I must remind myself of this fact, but in that knowledge I am more at peace in my life.
