Sky And Clouds

Thoughts are clouds, you are the sky, the space for all thoughts....Don't try to delete them or even quiet them down...they are not who you truly are...Jeff Foster

  Jeff Foster is an English writer and public speaker. He was born in 1980 in London, England. He studied Astrophysics at Cambridge University. At the time he was overwhelmed by feelings of despair and loneliness, which eventually led to physical illness and a personal breakdown soon after graduation. He was convinced he was going to mortal. John Foster returned to live with his parents, reading and studying for a year on spirituality, searching for relief from his depression. This ended in 2006 with the dissolution of the sense of separation, which he understood to be a spiritual awakening. He wrote a book, Life Without a Centre (Non-Duality Press), and was invited to hold small gatherings. Eventually, after having written several more books, the gatherings were supplemented with retreats and one-to-one sessions. In 2011, Foster wrote an article explaining why he no longer considered himself to be an "Advaita teacher" or "nonduality teacher," pointing out problems with the one-sidedness of contemporary "radical Advaita" teachings. Instead of a strict impersonal philosophy, he started to embrace and emphasise the relative, human, personal existence in his writings and gatherings, a relativity which he felt was not in conflict with the impersonal Absolute.

  The meaning behind the quote is that try to be ambitious. When I was young, I watched a children sitcom named Barney. It sang a song named What I Want To Be. This song teaches someone to dream big big, no matter how tough, how easy it is. Just dream of it, you get your gifts and rewards, then redeem it to the "counter"........
