This picture is probably really inappropriate for the mood of the songs I've chosen but in my view that makes it appropriate, appropriate for being inappropriate. If that doesn't make sense it's okay. Just listen to music.

A thousand half-loves must be foresaken to take the whole heart home



Read:

These paths all have the common aim of seeking to overcome the problem that arose when the individual entered into dualism, developing a spurious 'subjective self' or 'ego' that experiences the world as separate from itself, external and objective, and which continually tries to manipulate that world in order to obtain satisfaction and security. In truth, one will never manage to attain satisfaction and security this way, because the cause of suffering and dissatisfaction is none other than the fundamental sense of incompleteness that is the inevitable consequence of being in the state of dualism--and, moreover, all the seemingly external phenomena on which we try to base our satisfaction and security are impermanent.

--From The Crystal And The Way Of Light: Sutra, Tantra, and Dzogchen by Chogyal Namkhai Norbu

Once, having been asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come, Jesus replied, "The kingdom of God does not come with your careful observation, nor will people say, 'Here it is,' or 'There it is,' because the kingdom of God is within you.

--Luke 17:20-21
