As described in my very first blog entry I am now able to 'collate' all of the great resources I find. When I read 'Eat Pray Love' two summers ago I jotted down some reflections in the middle of a notebook. Ellen needed a note book recently and gave the reflections to me.
Quotes from Elizabeth Gilbert that struck me:
'There is a difference between meditation and prayer...though both seek communion with the divine,
prayer is the act of talking with God
meditation is the act of listening' Page 138
'Bel far niente' translated as 'The Beauty of Doing Nothing.' (Love this one)
'God dwells within you...as you.' Page 201
OM/ NA/MAH/ SHI/VA/YA...said as a mantra (I honour the divinity which resides within me.) Page 126.
Antevasin: 'one who lives at the border'.
You can still live on the shimmering line between your old thinking and your new understanding, always in a state of learning. (a border that is always moving) Page 214.
