Fear of death is Fear of Life

The worst and most paradoxical thing about human nature
is not that man fears unhappiness and death,
but invariably dreads Happiness and Life.

If I were to choose between a truth and a paradox I would choose the paradox.
How can we bring about a real change within?

This is the huge paradox:
Innumerable books about spirituality have been written lately. Yet, to no avail really. All these books, haven´t had the right impact to penetrate in-depth and bring about a REAL CHANGE IN OUR COLLECTIVE CONSCIOUSNESS, it´s a fact.
Yes, let´s face it, all this enormous book-writing has failed.
WHAT DO WE REALLY NEED IN ORDER TO BRING ABOUT A REAL CHANGE
WITHIN?…
Words and silence

“Speak so I hear who you are!”
These words are said to belong to Socrates.
I believe it is equally important to say:”Be quiet so I can hear you…!”
Really, words are a wonder. But those times when the Wonder of Life whispers, the most natural thing is to remain silent. And yet…How can you both remain silent and speak at the same time? Quite a paradox, isn´t it?
However, it is only apparently irreconcilable – our words reach out, are vital, swift and powerful only when they are born out of this unutterable Silence.
I can talk, I can write, as I do in this moment…but inside I remain silent.
True words are bridges between silence and silence. Mine and yours…
Let´s be silent for a moment, and speak low…
