“I’m not trying to change your behavior.

You have to look at how you act from within yourself...

Some of you are spending a lot of energy trying to fit in...

If we believe in God, are we just saying he’s then responsible for everything?

Who understands God’s will? Everybody? Where do you draw your lines? ...

How much do you accept the dogma of those who came before you? “. Manouso Manos, excerpts from philosophy talk, March 5, 2018 🕉

“forebears, models, spirits whose influence and teachings i am now inseparable from, and forever grateful for. I go nowhere, I arrive nowhere, without them. With them I live my life, with them I enter the event, I mold the meditation, I keep if I can some essence of the hour, even as it slips away. And I do not accomplish this alert and loving confrontation by myself and alone, but through terrifying and continual effort, and with this innumerable, fortifying company, bright as stars in the heaven of my mind. “. Mary Oliver
