The Truth about Religion and Flatlining
"Take the time to reflect on what is said here. If you find yourself associating this material with things you have heard elsewhere, please take the time to diligently explore how they are different. This knowledge is elusive. I share it here because I have seen how much this knowledge helps people – the potential is enormous."
– Michael Mamas
"True knowledge slips through the fingers of those not willing to ponder…"
– Michael Mamas
"Take what I say and work with it to develop a deeper understanding of life, rather than taking what I say and forcing it into the mold of your current relationship with life."
– Michael Mamas
"Evolution means change."
– Michael Mamas
"Your disposition is the tone with which you hold yourself, your cells, your psyche, your beliefs. More than anything else, it determines your life."

Somewhere in my past, this was viewed as a rationalization for cowardice or political compromise. And repeatedly, the valiant threw themselves on a dull sword of valor. Well worth taking a deeper look at…
It is truly an art form. You don’t want to wake sleeping tigers before the arrow vanquishes them within the dream.
It just makes the hunt more difficult then it needs to be. 😉
Don’t march your armies West to conquer the sunrise. Meditate, for nothing that can be lost is worth attaining.
Unbridled valor is narcissism
Bridled valor is cowardice
Discerning valor is wisdom…
Discretion can refer to “caution or carefulness” which I think brings up the negative “cowardice” connotation of the quote, but discretion can also refer to discernment, good judgement and acumen. As you say, Brahmarshi, “Discerning valor is wisdom…” I like that better than the Shakespeare quote.
Language is so interesting – it leaves many avenues for interpretation!
Yes, language is remarkable. Linguistics, viewed from the context of sanskrit and the Veda, leaves me speechless… pun intended.
Jai Guru Dev.
