Beautiful People
“Somewhere in the Universe, somewhere,
There are some ‘really beautiful people’.
They are not like us.
They will never fight or go to war.
They are not like us.
If you want their life, they will give it.
They will never take yours.
They are not like us.
So where are these ‘really beautiful people’?
They are us, a long time away.”
~ Andrew Pirrie (born: 1935-04-25 age: 74)
Common Sense
“If your happiness requires a thousand conditions,
you are a thousand conditions away from happiness.
If you accept yourself just as you are.
If you accept others just as they are.
If you accept life just as it is.
Then the door to happiness is open wide.And you can still try to change what can be changed.”
~ Andrew Pirrie (born: 1935-04-25 age: 74)
Consciousness Growth
“Consciousness growth and technological advancement
need to go hand in hand together.
And be warned unless this happens
we shall forever see an escalating expansion
of our already plentiful killing fields.
Our skills in this area are already quite astonishing.
So let’s face it, the ‘forever’ could present a problem.So let’s change the world.”
~ Andrew Pirrie (born: 1935-04-25 age: 74)
It Couldn’t be Simpler
“The world you live in you can bless,
By loving more and demanding less.”
~ Andrew Pirrie (born: 1935-04-25 age: 74)
Making a Difference
“We are now living in appallingly violent times,
that retribution, and justice are powerless to reform.
But we still fight wars to bring peace, even though we see that violence against violence equals mayhem.
We fail to realise that there is a beautiful part of the soul in all human beings that has the art of saintly alchemy.Through this alchemy bitterness is converted to kindness, insults into pardon, vengeance into forgiveness,
and the passions of hatred are transformed into love.
How? By loving those who hate.
By forgiving those who seek vengeance,
and by pardoning those who harm you.With practise this alchemy becomes so easy and habitual, that while onlookers may not even notice,
they cannot help but respond.
It’s all founded on the power of love.
What a truly beautiful way to bring
peace and oneness to this tragic world of ours.Go on, give it a try, I dare you!”
~ Andrew Pirrie (born: 1935-04-25 age: 74)
Our Growth
“We can only become as great
as the adversities which face us,
or as small as the luxuries
that surround us.
But there needs to be
a balance between the two.
Too much of the former
and we can be overcome.
Too much of the latter and we cannot grow.Its obvious really.”
~ Andrew Pirrie (born: 1935-04-25 age: 74)
The Abundance Puzzle
“If poverty is having less than you want, what is abundance?Answer: Abundance is wanting less than you have.
So instead of constantly striving to increase what you have, try decreasing what you want. Let go of all those endless desires that can never be satisfied — all those desires that lead people into debt and despair.”
~ Andrew Pirrie (born: 1935-04-25 age: 74)
What a World!
“What a world this would be,
If we loved unconditionally.
Peace on earth for evermore,
No need to fight or go to war.”
~ Andrew Pirrie (born: 1935-04-25 age: 74)
“At the touch of love everyone becomes a poet.”
~ Plato (born: 428 BC died: 348 BC at age: 80)
“No matter what you say or what you do
I know my love will see me through
And I just go on lovin’ you.
Yes I do.
I just go on lovin’ you.”
~ Summer Raven chorus to song I Just Go On Living You
“Alexander the Great cut the Gordian knot with as sword instead of untangling it. The sword of consciousness growth is what I call the genie process: If you find yourself longing, reformulate the longing as a wish to an all-powerful magic genie. To be granted, the wish must have three characteristics.This forces you to be more practical. You discover often that your intense longings are too silly hold onto, or that they can be satisfied for now, by something easy to arrange.”
- The wish must be granted right now. So for example you can’t wish to go on a holiday in two weeks, but you could wish for an airplane ticket in your hand right now.
- A five year old child has to be able tell if the wish were granted. So you can’t wish, for example, that you ex love you, but you can wish that he knock at the door with a bouquet of flowers.
- The wish has to be the minimal possible wish that would still make you happy do now. If you wish for $1000 when $100 would have done the trick, you don’t get the wish.
~ Roedy (born: 1948-02-04 age: 61)
“At least for the next few minutes, your only possible choice of playmates are the people in the room with you now, even if they are criminals or Republicans. Its them or nothing.

~ Roedy (born: 1948-02-04 age: 61)
“For most people, the universe will never give you has much love as you need. You have no choice but to top it up by loving yourself.”

~ Roedy (born: 1948-02-04 age: 61)
“How well the world lives up to your expectations depends mainly on how many expectations you have and how stringent they are.”
~ Roedy (born: 1948-02-04 age: 61)
“Some people collect grievances the way others collect stamps. They take the out from time to time to admire and cherish them. They reminisce over them and rehearse what they wish they had said at the time. This is one of the most efficient ways of creating misery for yourself.”
~ Roedy (born: 1948-02-04 age: 61)
“There are two main factors to consciousness growth:~ Roedy (born: 1948-02-04 age: 61)
- Sharing your secrets and traumas so they no longer have such power over you.
- Learning not to let things get to you, i.e. reprogramming your addictions.”
