'Alienation as we find it in modern society is almost total… Man has created a world of man-made things as it never existed before. He has constructed a complicated social machine to administer the technical machine he built. The more powerful and gigantic the forces are which he unleashes, the more powerless he feels himself as a human being. He is owned by his creations, and has lost ownership of himself.'

'Practice kindness daily, for even the smallest act of love can create ripples that change the world.' * #wisdom #philosophy #psychology #spirituality #poetry #art #surrealism #psychedelic #dream #midjourney

'It was not the mixture, O men, of blood and breath that made the beginning and substance of your souls, though your earthborn and mortal body is framed of those things.

'Freedom is not a constant attribute which we either "have" or "have not." In fact, there is no such thing as "freedom" except as a word and an abstract concept. There is only one reality: the act of freeing ourselves in the process of making choices. In this process the degree of our capacity to make choices varies with each act, with our practice of life.'

'Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it.' Rumi #wisdom #philosophy #psychology #spirituality #poetry #art #surrealism #psychedelic #dream #midjourney
