I take some solace in the fact that I’m not alone in this intuition that the reality of evil, of injustice, of suffering notwithstanding, “at the center of this existence is a heart beating with love.” That’s how Desmond Tutu put it to me, with greater authority than mine from a life that has known extremes of human cruelty one to another.","author":"Krista Tippett","tags":["adventure","art-of-living","enoughness","faith","humanity","love","on-being"],"id":10852,"author_id":"Krista+Tippett"},{"text":"The conundrum of the twenty-first (century) is that with the best intentions of color blindness, and laws passed in this spirit, we still carry instincts and reactions inherited from our environments and embedded in our being below the level of conscious decision. There is a color line in our heads, and while we could see its effects we couldn’t name it until now. But john powell is also steeped in a new science of “implicit bias,” which gives us a way, finally, even to address this head on. It reveals a challenge that is human in nature, though it can be supported and hastened by policies to create new experiences, which over time create new instincts and lay chemical and physical pathways. This is a helpfully unromantic way to think about what we mean when we aspire, longingly, to a lasting change of heart. And john powell and others are bringing training methodologies based on the new science to city governments and police forces and schools. What we’re finding now in the last 30 years is that much of the work, in terms of our cognitive and emotional response to the world, happens at the unconscious level.","author":"Krista Tippett","tags":["art-of-living","black-lives-matter","color-line","diversity","history","humanity","implicit-bias","inclusion","john-powell","love","nature","non-violence","on-being","race","racism"],"id":12513,"author_id":"Krista+Tippett"},{"text":"In the history of a soul’s evolution there is a critical point of the human incarnation that decides for us whether we stay there, go down or progress upwards. There is a knot of worldly desires impeding us; cut the knot by mastering desires and go forward. This done, progress is assured.","author":"Virchand Gandhi","tags":["art-of-life","art-of-living","desire","famous","human","incarnation","indian","inspirational","motivational","peace","popular","salvation","soul","spiritual","virchand-gandhi"],"id":28885,"author_id":"Virchand+Gandhi"},{"text":"Stop over-thinking, put more energy on what you really want to do.","author":"Amit Ray","tags":["art-of-living","life-style","mindfulness","mindfulness-practice","over-thinking","overthinking","put-more-energy"],"id":29779,"author_id":"Amit+Ray"},{"text":"The mystery and art of living are as grand as the sweep of a lifetime and the lifetime of a species.

Do not take life to be anything more than acting. Don’t identify yourself too much with the action.Whether you are a wife or husband, a businessman or client, don’t get too involved. Don’t lose yourself in it, for you are simply playing a role in the play. Keep outside of it, and within yourself. These are all necessary parts of life. You must go to work, it is necessary. The play is delightful if you see it as play, but it is fatal if you take it to be life. There is no reason so disrupt your life. You have to play the part that life has given you.","author":"Osho","tags":["art-of-living","bliss","depression","depression-recovery","enlightenment","happiness","life-is-a-play","loss","loss-and-pain","trust"],"id":70766,"author_id":"Osho"},{"text":"..Moments of transport, and of comfort, and of a bracing vastness of possibility. That was all there for me sometimes when I plunged my mind into the Bible’s puzzles; and it was always there in the music of church. I wouldn’t have said it this way then. But I would feel all the cells in my body as I sang hymns that connected my little life with the grandeur of the cosmos, the Christian drama across space and time. This was my earliest experience of breath and body, mind and spirit soaring together, alive to both mystery and reality, in kinship with others both familiar and unknown. That’s one way I’d define the feeling of faith now.","author":"Krista Tippett","tags":["art-of-living","christian","church","faith","hymns","love","mind","music","mystery","on-being","pantheism","reality","spirit"],"id":74841,"author_id":"Krista+Tippett"}],"pagination":{"page":1,"page_size":10,"total":57,"pages":6,"next":"?page=2\u0026page_size=10"}}
