Henry David Thoreau |
As a single footstep will not make a path on the earth, so a single thought will not make a pathway in the mind. To make a deep physical path, we walk again and again. To make a deep mental path, we must think over and over the kind of thoughts we wish to dominate our lives. |
Jane Campion |
I think that the romantic impulse is in all of us and that sometimes we live it for a short time, but it's not part of a sensible way of living. It's a heroic path and it generally ends dangerously. I treasure it in the sense that I believe it's a path of great courage. It can also be the path of the foolhardy and the compulsive. |
H. G. Wells |
The path of least resistance is the path of the loser. |
Jennifer Capriati |
Let me say that the path I did take for a brief period of my life was not of reckless drug use, hurting others, but it was a path of quiet rebellion, of a little experimentation of a darker side of my confusion in a confusing world, lost in the midst of finding my identity. |
Joel Edgerton |
I have always stuck to my guns about what I want from the work and what interests me. I've never been seduced down the evil path. The path of taking the money. |
John F. Kennedy |
The cost of freedom is always high, but Americans have always paid it. And one path we shall never choose, and that is the path of surrender, or submission. |
Ralph Waldo Emerson |
Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail. |
Robert Anton Wilson |
The path up is the path down. The way forward is the way back. The universe inside is outside but the universe outside is inside. |
Sai Baba |
Man is lost and is wandering in a jungle where real values have no meaning. Real values can have meaning to man only when he steps on to the spiritual path, a path where negative emotions have no use. |
Lisa Edelstein |
What does it mean to a successful woman today? Does it mean you have to be a mother? If you are a mother, does it mean you have to be a mother with a husband? If you don't have a husband, what is the role that the man plays? I think there are a lot of confusing things that we're all really still sorting out. |

I basically meant that there are those who have not embraced a certain path and are testing the waters of many different teachings where as others have come to follow a single path already and a farther along it than beginners.

Awesome -- what does this mean though:
" a pinecone to represent being on the correct path and see them often when im thinking about something of a spiritual nature and often take whether its open or closed or theres a lot or there particularly pretty as various levels of my spirituality at the moment. when i feel shitty i feel i tend to see more fucked up ones. "
When the path is open? or the pinecone? Then what happens? ...

its really random and i didnt realize the frequency at which it was happening. just had a flash back to this marshy path by a river and a field that i remember in my dreams as a kid. it is very similar to an area near where my mom lived altho it wasnt it exactly. i remember several pretty much pointless dreams that took place in my elementary school at the other end of this path, both in the physical and dream world.

I also browse and contribute on HE occasionally, there are some truly amazing people out there for sure, but there are also tens of thousands of others still trying to find a path like me. I wouldn't suggest holding back in relating to anyone there, but to certainly remember that just because some says or believes they are loving, wise, compassionate, balanced, enlightened, etc. doesn't mean they know what they're talking about.

Everyone thinks their souls path applies to every other soul and ppl that deviate from their personal truth are invalid. Why can't people follow their inner guidance without needing everyone else to validate it? Meanwhile so many people preach unconditional love but only respect ppl with conditions similar to their own. Fuck all of us. <3

I see. I think we´re all exactly on the right path :D but I get what you mean. Values confuse me because everyone has different priorities and those without priorities are rather unfocused and those with strong values can be very self-righteous. Oh well!
