PHILOSOPHY

Some bizarre combination of:

"Today, a young man on acid realised that all matter is merely energy condensed to a slow vibration and that we are all one consciousness experiencing itself subjectively. There's no such thing as death, life is only a dream, and you are the imagination of yourself. Here's Tom with the weather." - Bill Hicks.

"Wisdom tends to grow in proportion to one's awareness of one'€™s ignorance." - Anthony de Mello.

"There is nothing to practise. To know yourself, be yourself. To be yourself, stop imagining yourself to be this or that. Just be. Let your nature emerge." - Nisargadatta.

"I'm sick of following my dreams. I'm just going to ask where they're going and hook up with 'em later." - Mitch Hedberg.

"Never depend on applause." - Dunno.
