Humor

A humanist, christian fundamentalist, priest and a 12 years old kid are the 4 passengers travelling together on the same airplane. While they cross the snowy Himalayas, strong winds blow, so the pilot doesnt manage to cope, and the engine starts burning of overload, and the plane is about to crash.


Unfortunately, there is only one parachute on the airplane.

Since the pilot is a man of conscience and discipline, he makes an anouncement of the situation to the 4 passengers, telling them that he will not use the parachute and that they can decide whom of them would use the parachute.


The humanist says: "let the kid take the parachute, he has got all his life ahead of him"

The fundamentalist says: "fuck the kid, i will take the parachute"

Then the priest says:"ok, good idea, but do you think we have enough time?"

Here n Now

" Your mind gives you a sort of stupor. Burdened by the memories of the past, burdened by the projections of the future, you go on living - at the minimum. You don't live at the maximum. Your flame remains very dim. Once you start dropping thoughts, the dust that you have collected in the past, the flame arises - clean, clear, alive, young. Your whole life becomes a flame, and a flame without any smoke. That is what awareness is. "

Fear and Awareness

" The mind is a coward, and has to be a coward because it doesn't have any substance. It is empty and hollow, afraid of everything. And basically it is afraid that one day you may become aware.
That fear keeps people away from meditation, makes them enemies of people like me who are trying to spread something of meditation, some way of awareness and witnessing. They become antagonistic to me - not without any reason - their fear is well-founded.
Mind is really afraid to come close to anything that can create more awareness. That will be the beginning of the end of the mind. That will be the death of the mind."
