For me a true landscape is not just a representation of a desert or a forest. It shows an inner state of mind, literally inner landscapes, and it is the human soul that is visible through the landscapes presented in my films.
What we see in the outer is but a reflection of the inner, because we surround ourselves with a picture of our own beliefs. In other words, we manifest in general what we seriously think and believe. So if we want to find out what our habitual thinking is like, we have but to look around us and ask ourselves what we really see.
No matter whether "I" feels victorious or defeated, elated or discouraged, these are mere phantoms compared to consciousness itself.
Wonder is the first of all the passions.
Our beliefs create the kind of world we believe in. We project our feelings, thoughts and attitudes onto the world. I can create a different world by changing my belief about the world. Our inner state creates the outer and not vice versa.
What the sayer of praise is really praising is himself, by saying implicitly, My eyes are clear." Likewise, someone who criticizes is criticizing himself, saying implicitly, "I can't see very well with my eyes so inflamed.
What a man has made himself he will be; his state is the result of his past life, and his heaven or hell is in himself.
Happiness is not something you achieve. It's not something you do or someplace you get to. Happiness is something you inhabit.
Not what you do, but how you do what you do determines whether you are fulfilling your destiny. And how you do what you do is determined by your state of consciousness.
The body, like everything else in life, is a mirror of our inner thoughts and beliefs. Every cell within your body responds to every single thought you think and every word you speak.
That's the illusion - the idea that you can be all right on the inside and not act it out - and it has affected us in many ways. That's a part of the idea that professing is enough.
Happiness is a how; not a what. A talent, not an object.
You can begin feeling whatever you want (even if it's not there).. the universe will correspond to the nature of your song.
Look at the world as a reflection of your inner state.
You don't have to be in the brightest, shiniest state of being an individual to feel like you're exceptional.
Was it fair to say I didn't know the full state of my soul?
I think that when you carry a certain kind of energy, if you have, like, a funky energy that you hold within yourself, you just can't grow.
Why are we acting as if we're angry. Are we angry?
The truth is, it's easier for me to write than talk... to express the state I'm in at any time.
All that you see out in front of you is how you feel inside your head.
Life is a mirror of your consistent thoughts.
Emotion is energy in motion.
Men do not attract that which they want, but that which they are.
Art seems to me to be above all a state of soul. All souls are sacred, the soul of all the bipeds in every quarter of the globe.
At the end of day, what matters most to God, what moves His heart, isn't our fancy words and impressive possessions - it's the condition of our hearts.
