Do Your Part as Well as You Can
“Girl with Ducks” | Anthony Satori
“You do not have to be responsible for the world you are in. Just do your part, as well as you can. That is enough.”
– John von Neumann
Heaven-Born Things
“Heaven-Born Things” | Anthony Satori
“What springs from earth dissolves to earth again, and heaven-born things fly to their native seat.”
– Marcus Aurelius
We are immortal spiritual beings. Never doubt this. Never forget it. We are visiting this physical realm for just a brief moment, temporarily experiencing the wonder and challenge of living in physical bodies made up of water, heat, and stardust. But where we truly live is another realm: the spiritual realm. It is here that we know our true selves: Beings of Pure Consciousness, Light, and Love. It is here that we commune with our collective higher mind, where we have access to endless self-realized power and joy, where we see and love God directly, and where we are seen and loved directly by God, in return.
Make the most of this physical experience while you are here. It is not to be discounted. It is a gift to be cherished. Do your best to live a life of purpose, gratitude, and love. And then, when the time comes, take solace in the knowledge that we will shed these atoms and cells, gratefully returning them to the earth from which they came, and we will fly to our native seat in heaven.
The Spiritual Path
“Red-Tailed Hawk” | Anthony Satori
“Down through the ages, there has always been the spiritual path. It’s been passed on – it always will be – and if anybody ever wants it in any era, it’s always there.”
– George Harrison
The Only Reality
“Pelican in Flight” | Anthony Satori
“Love is the only reality, and it is not a mere sentiment. It is the ultimate truth that lies at the heart of creation.”
– Rabindranath Tagore
Without Words
“Doves” | Anthony Satori
“Do not some of the most moving moments of our lives find us without words?”
– Marcel Marceau
The Ordering of Nature
“Cormorants on the Wind” | Anthony Satori
“More and more it seems to me that the ordering of nature is an art akin to music – fugues in a shell, counterpoints in fibers, throbbing rhythms in waves of sound, light, and nerve. And oneself is connected with it quite inextricably – an electronic interweaving of paths, circuits, and impulses that stretch and hum throughout the whole of time and space.”
– Alan Watts
Beauty and Harmony
“Open Wings” | Anthony Satori
“Real strength never impairs beauty or harmony, but it often bestows them.”
– Herman Melville
Innate Well of Contentment
“On the Wind” | Anthony Satori
“We should purify our innate well of contentment, and then external things will be in harmony with us.”
– Eckhart Tolle
Compassion and Strength
“Compassion and Strength” –|– Anthony Satori
Compassion and strength are not mutually exclusive. In fact, they are not even at odds. True compassion is rooted in carefully cultivated principles, universal love, and clear-eyed reason. This highest version of compassion both informs and enhances strength by imbuing it with righteousness, clarity, and drive. True strength, in the same way, is rooted in wisdom, self-discipline, and courage. This highest version of strength empowers compassion by providing it with the peace and security it needs to perform at the highest levels of efficacy, humaneness, and virtue.
