"the man of action gets what he desires." - me

i used to use that one as a cue for the dude to make his move on me. i don't think i am paraphrasing something else, but i can't say for sure.

"the man of action gets what he desires." - me...

And I would then ask myself, "What is it really, that I desire?"

"In the song “Imagine”, John Lennon questions all the major foundations that those in true political power rely on. He questions political power, military might, the authority of religions, and the importance of personal possessions. All of these things make up the base used by those in power on this planet." -noahnow

"Faith does not give you the answers, it just stops you asking the questions. If you could reason with religious people there would be no religious people. I am surrounded by priests who repeat incessantly that their kingdom is not of this world, and yet they lay their hands on everything they can get. Wake up America, you are being raped by religion" - the_blueyed_shark (commenter, Miami Herald)

I received this one from the daily quotes I get from my ashram:

"You should be conscious of your delusion, and question yourself every day, if you are to overcome it and proceed towards Truth. But first of all, you must have the deepest desire." - Parahamsa Harihanananda

How can one who is having delusions be conscious of them when they, deep down, feel their delusions are reality?

in some cases, i think we they start to see the same problem in others...in actuality they are recognizing aspects of themselves in others.
