Culture is the greatest barrier to your enlightenment, your education, and your decency. — © Terence McKenna
Culture is the greatest barrier to your enlightenment, your education, and your decency.
You don't want to know the Truth, you want to know the truth as you understand it. This is the greatest barrier to your enlightenment. You think you already know the truth! You think you already understand how it is. So you agree with everything you see or hear or read that falls into the paradigm of your understanding, and reject everything which does not.
Your attitude is either your best friend or your worst enemy, your greatest asset or your greatest liability
Try your best not to get distracted from your goal. Let everything you do be your way of getting closer to your enlightenment; never take a vacation from spiritual practice.
When you're going into an employment environment that looks pretty scary, it is easy to lose your moral compass, your decency, your sense of civility and your sense of community.
Stop waiting for what you want, and start working what you have. This can turn your greatest frustration into your greatest potential innovation. If you'll do your part, God will begin to do what only He can do: He'll make your box bigger.
Remember, the greatest gift to give people your enlightenment, to share it. It has to be the greatest.
Embrace the faith that every challenge surmounted by your energy; every problem solved by your wisdom; every soul stirred by your passion; and every barrier to justice brought down by your determination will ennoble your life, inspire others, serve your country, and explode outward the boundaries of what is achievable on this earth.
SEAL training was a great equalizer. Nothing mattered but your will to succeed. Not your color, not your ethnic background, not your education and not your social status.
Just as you maintain your home, your car, your garden, you should look after your greatest gift: your body.
Accept yourself as you are. And that is the most difficult thing in the world, because it goes against your training, education, your culture.
If you are alive and healty, you must know that this is your greatest success and your greatest chance in life! Celebrate this success with all your heart, with all your gratitude!
Your greatest asset is your earning ability. Your greatest resource is your time.
I've thought for years, sometimes against my will, about what kind of son I'm supposed to be, what's expected. Being Korean, that's a particularly charged question. Is your duty to your culture or to your parent? Is your life your own, or the second half of your parents' life? Who owns your life?
Your intent is important. You will pull a very deep power when you are working not just for yourself, but you are working for your enlightenment and to aid others in their enlightenment.
Fear is your greatest obstacle - so question your fear. If it does not serve your greatest life then do not make it your master.
It must be emphasized that as a father, you are always teaching. For good or ill your family learns your ways, your beliefs, your heart, your ideas, your concerns. Your children may or may not choose to follow you, but the example you give is the greatest light you hold before your children, and you are accountable for that light.
