Choiceless awareness – do not condemn, do not justify. Awareness works only if it’s allowed free play without interference.
Quote by -Bruce Lee
Mind is an ultimate reality which is aware of itself and is not the seat of our empirical consciousness – by “being” mind instead of “having” mind.
Quote by -Bruce Lee
The more and more you are aware, the more and more you shed from day to day what you have learned so that your mind is always fresh, uncontaminated by previous conditioning.
Quote by -Bruce Lee
The more and more you are aware, the more and more you shed from day to day what you have learned so that your mind is always fresh, uncontaminated by previous conditioning.
Quote by -Bruce Lee
There is nothing that will enable you to pursue your course in greater peace than the patient bearing of insult. Patience is not passive, on the contrary it is concentrated strength.
Quote by -Bruce Lee
“A man is literally what he thinks”. This might be a shocking statement, but everything is a state of mind.
Quote by -Bruce Lee
The subconscious mind favors thoughts inspired by emotional feelings. It also gives preference to dominating thoughts.
Quote by -Bruce Lee
The past is no more, the future is not yet. “Now” includes the balance of being here, experiencing, involvement, phenomenon, awareness.
Quote by -Bruce Lee
To understand and live now, there must be dying to everything of yesterday. Die continually to every gained experience – be in a state of choiceless awareness of what is.
Quote by -Bruce Lee
When you are awake, you must be fully awake and conscious about everything. This is a wonderful exercise.
Quote by -Bruce Lee
Suffering itself does less afflict the senses than the anticipation of suffering.
Quote by -Bruce Lee
A concentrated mind is not an attentive mind, but a mind that is in a state of awareness can concentrate. Awareness is never exclusive, it includes everything.
Quote by -Bruce Lee
Concentration is a narrowing down of the mind – but we are concerned with the total process of living, and to concentrate exclusively on any particular aspect of life, belittles life.
Quote by -Bruce Lee
All thought is partial, is can never be total. Thought is the response of memory, and memory is always partial, because memory is the result of experience; so thought is the reaction of a mind which is conditioned by experience.
Quote by -Bruce Lee
The mind must be wide open in order to function freely in thought. For a limited mind cannot think freely.
Quote by -Bruce Lee
To bring the mind into sharp focus and to make it alert so that it can immediately intuit truth, which is everywhere, the mind must be emancipated from old habits, prejudices, restrictive thought process, and even ordinary thought itself.
Quote by -Bruce Lee
To be on the alert means to be deadly serious; to be deadly serious means to be sincere to oneself, and it is sincerity that finally leads to the Way.
Quote by -Bruce Lee
Every man is what he is because of the dominating thoughts which he permits to occupy his mind.
Quote by -Bruce Lee
Sincere thought means thought of concentration (quiet awareness). The thought of a distracted mind cannot be sincere.
Quote by -Bruce Lee
Mans’s mind and his behavior are one, his inner thought and outer expression cannot contradict each other. Therefore a man should set up his right principle, and this right mind (principle) will influence his action.
Quote by -Bruce Lee
Don’t think – feel. Feeling exists here and now when not interrupted and dissected by ideas or concepts.
Quote by -Bruce Lee
Just watch choicelessly and in the watching lies the wonder. It is not an ideal, an end to be desired. The watching is a state of “being” already, not a state of “becoming”.
Quote by -Bruce Lee
Anxiety is the gap between the “now” and the “then”. SO if you are in the “now”, you can’t be anxious, because your excitement flows immediately into ongoing spontaneous activity.
Quote by -Bruce Lee
The moment we stop analyzing and let go, we can start really seeing, feeling – as one whole.
Quote by -Bruce Lee
There is no need to exert oneself in special cultivation outside the daily round of living.
Quote by -Bruce Lee
The present? Well, think of it in terms of challenges and opportunities, and the rewards available for the application of your talents and energies.
Quote by -Bruce Lee
As for the future, that is a time and a place where every worthy ambition you posses is within your grasp.
Quote by -Bruce Lee
In a time when everything goes well, my mind is pampered with enjoyment, possessiveness, etc. Only in times of adversity, privation, or mishap, does my mind function and think properly of my state. This close examination of self strengthens my mind and leads me to understand and be understood.
Quote by -Bruce Lee
Here is natural instinct, and there is control. You are to combine the two in harmony. If you have one to the extreme you will be very unscientific; if you have another to the extreme, you become a mechanical man, no longer human being.
Quote by -Bruce Lee
So it is a successful combination of both. It is not pure naturalness, or pure unnaturalness. The ideal is unnatural naturalness or natural unnaturalness.
Quote by -Bruce Lee
When my tutor assisted me in choosing my courses, he advised me to take up philosophy because of my inquisitiveness. He said, “philosophy will tell you what man lives for”.
Quote by -Bruce Lee
Philosophy is itself the disease for which it pretends to be the cure: the wise man does not pursue wisdom but lives his life, and therein precisely does his wisdom lie.
Quote by -Bruce Lee
One should get rid of this obtruding self – or ego-consciousness – and apply himself to the work to be done as if nothing particular were taking place at the moment.
Quote by -Bruce Lee
Logic’s central problem is the distinction between correct and incorrect argument.
Quote by -Bruce Lee
I never wanted a job in an office or any job that I had to work eight hours a day at – day in and day out. I don’t think I could have stood it.
Quote by -Bruce Lee
I’m not the type of guy who can sit in the office doing the same routine day in and day out. I have to do something that is creative and interesting to me.
Quote by -Bruce Lee
It is the creative ability of a human being that separates him from all other animals.
Quote by -Bruce Lee
With adversity you are shocked to higher levels, much like a rain storm that is so violent, but yet afterwards all plant grows.
Quote by -Bruce Lee
There is an awareness without choice, without any demand, an awareness in which there is no anxiety; and in that state of mind there is perception. It is the perception alone that will resolve all your problems.
Quote by -Bruce Lee
Don’t be forecasting evil unless it is what you can guard against. Anxiety is good for nothing if we can’t turn it into a defense.
