“At rest, however, in the middle of everything is the sun.”

Of all things visible, the highest is the heaven of the fixed stars.

To know that we know what we know, and to know that we do not know what we do not know, that is true knowledge.

For I am not so enamoured of my own opinions that I disregard what others may think of them.

The earth together with its surrounding waters must in fact have such a shape as its shadow reveals, for its eclipses the moon with the arc of a perfect circle.

For it is the duty of an astronomer to compose the history of the celestial motions through careful and expert study.

Finally we shall place the Sun himself at the center of the Universe.

I often considered whether there could perhaps be found a more reasonable arrangement of circles.

In the midst of all dwells the Sun. For who could set this luminary in another or better place in this most glorious temple, than whence he can at one and the same time brighten the whole

Those things which I am saying now may be obscure, yet they will be made clearer in their proper place.

Near the sun is the center of the universe.

The massive bulk of the earth does indeed shrink to insignificance in comparison with the size of the heavens.

Radiantly nothing. Absolutely and eternally zero. Emptiness that is awake. Emptiness that is full. Emptiness that is everything.

You’re willing to realize that maybe everything you’ve ever thought about yourself really isn’t true.

Since everything is already the Supreme Buddha Nature, where are you going to find it?

Everything reaches us filtered through culture.

You come to see that everything you think you know about yourself, everything you think you know about the world, is based on assumptions, beliefs, and opinions-things that you believe because you were taught or told they were true.

You lose your separateness, you lose your specialness, you lose the dream you have lived all your life. Eventually you lose everything that your mind has created and awaken to who you truly are: the fullness of freedom, unbound by any identifications, identities, or boundaries.

True Meditation is the space in which everything gets revealed, everything gets seen, everything gets experienced. And as such, it lets go of itself. We don’t even let go. It lets go of itself.

When you abide and accept everything completely and fully, you automatically go beyond.
