breathing in and out - giving and receiving...

" Jerry: Breath is a function of life, and the nature of life is expansion. It’s the nature of life to expand itself into greater and more creative versions of itself.

Irene: What are you breathing IN?

Jerry: Life force. Pure potential. It’s the raw material of creation, the fuel for the manifest result of thought. On a non-physical level, breathing isn’t for the purpose of maintaining the spirited body; it serves the purpose of connection: inhalation is receiving the Oneness and exhalation is giving back to the Oneness. It’s a unifying process."

out there vs. in here...

"...remember that value and attraction 

are in the eye of the beholder 

and are not qualities of the world itself. 

What is imagined to be ‘out there’ 

stems from ‘in here’. 

The same applies to cherished positionalities

 and seductive presumptions. 

There are no temptations ‘out there’, 

and their attraction diminishes 

by simple refusal and renunciation."

~Dr. David R. Hawkins
