My name's Justin, and I'm a Buddhist. I take bits from Hindu, and Taoist philosophy as well though. I blog about religion, politics, philosophy, and whatever else I feel like blogging about. I've grown a lot over the years, but I'm still far from where I want to be. If you have any questions then ask away! Don't be shy.

Great things are not accomplished by those who yield to trends and fads and popular opinion.
Jack Kerouac (via julietlima)
I have realized that the past and future are real illusions, that they exist in the present, which is what there is and all there is.
Alan Watts (via crscwldpt)
You are the vast thing that you see far, far off with great telescopes.
-Alan Watts
These demons will never leave me
I can only find ways to not let them out
These demons will never leave me
But I control them, not the other way around.

Your work… that’s the meaning of life. The material the earth offers you and what you make of it.
Howard Roark (via hunterhaley)
The body is the tree of enlightenment.
The mind is like a clear mirror standing.
Take care to wipe it constantly
And let no dust cling.
Shen hsiu (via whenmichellesmiles)
The self you love—if you really go into it—is the universe. You don’t like all of it. You’re selective about it…perception is selection. But, on the whole, you love yourself in terms of what is other, because it’s only in terms of what is other that you have a self at all.
Alan Watts (via annadoes)
But I’ll tell you what hermits realize. If you go off into a far, far forest and get very quiet, you’ll come to understand that you’re connected with everything.
- Alan Watts
