It’s hard to believe that you are all that is! You are the only thing in existence. You are god. There is no self and other. This is an illusion you are experiencing, which you’ve created. This doesn’t mean others are insignificant. No, actually the opposite. There are no others. Others are you. When you are coming from enlightened mind, you have nothing but compassion and love for others, for they are You. Most “others” are suffering because when they look at you they do not see themselves, but they will eventually. If you do not see your Self when you look at “others”, you will eventually. Maybe you already have, and maybe you have forgotten. You’ll remember again. It’s your destiny to remember yourself in all of your glory.

Hey, this is my partner, Alec’s tumblr. Follow him.

At my school we don’t have Monday off for president’s day (do other schools?) we have Wednesday off for Shambhala day, the Tibetan new year… I don’t want to have days off from school though. I am going to go to school and work in the studio on Wednesday anyway.

I had been feeling somewhat depressed for roughly the last 36 hours, but I just looked through a few pages of my blog and felt better. It’s this big digital scrapbook of all the things that excite me, inspire me, and make me happy. I’m glad I’ve been collecting these images for so long.

Also, do you think it’s possible to be working on my artwork too much? I’ve been spending 7-14 hours a day working on some paintings and I think it’s creating a reality gap for me. But it feels (mostly) so wonderful.

Public Love Declaration

Here’s a list of people on tumblr who I admire and who inspire me (in alphabetical order):

I’ve been working on my heart chakra for the past four weeks and am generally experiencing an explosive, overpowering feeling of unconditional love and part of what has come up for me with that is that I want to express love and gratitude towards people more. So, I’m publicly declaring my love for these folks and their tumblrs. Lots of gratitude for what they post. Thank you!

Tonight I went to see the movie Crazy Wisdom about the founder of my university, Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche. I feel so inspired to live with an open heart, not hiding my tears or fears or things that I might be embarrassed about.

And I learned that Ram Dass was a teacher at my university in the 70’s, along with Allen Ginsburg and many other amazing people. I wish I could have been there in the 70’s! Highly recommend this movie, if you are able to see it.
