Knowing yourself as the Self is the ultimate intimacy.

Everything is seamlessly integrated. It is only the mind that says otherwise.

Straight is the way and narrow is the gate and the ego is a double wide.

Let the heart be the path on which the mind walks.

The seeker is within, as well as the sought.

The whole purpose of the spiritual journey is to learn to live behind the mind.

Awareness is the pearl in the oyster of mechanical life. Use grit to grow.

My tension comes from inattention.

Drop the “k” in seeker.

The daily grind can be a “find,” when you are looking at the nuggets of now.

Nurture the now.

I count my blessings to make sure none get away.

Charity begins within.

The teacher, both within and without, is merely a mirror. Simple reflection is the great healer.

For something to happen, the entire universe must AGREE.

Everything is destined.

The flow will find you when it needs you. In between, relax…

Jesus said that the kingdom of heaven is within. He had a lot of nirvana to say that!

No one can reach the silence. One must become it.

Retreat from self-attack and all others will retreat immediately.

My place of surrender is my place of power.

Trying to push the river makes one all wet.

Namaste

The greatest secret

You can live an entirely new life, both in the here and now and in the there and hereafter. That is the greatest secret on earth. The Mystic Path leads upward to that new life.

How does the average man spend his day? He can be likened to a pendulum. Something favorable happens in his exterior life, perhaps a raise in pay, or a compliment. He feels good. But the next moment, strangely, the pay raise and the compliment become meaningless, so he swings over to depression. His entire day is spent wearily swinging from one state to its opposite, between confidence and fear, between cheeriness and gloom, calmness and nervousness, peace and anger, decision and indecision.

This is followed by feelings of futility, of being trapped. Though he may seek answers here and there, he has no real hope. Though believing that he may feel good tomorrow, he agonizes over the knowledge that he will plunge into emptiness the day after. He knows that his temporary elation will cruelly vanish, as the mirage disappears before the desert wanderer.

There is another way to live.

I assure you that this is no mere opinion of mine. I know. I also know that my telling of this can encourage but cannot convince you. But you can, by taking careful heed to the principles, convince yourself through actual experience. No person and no circumstance on earth can prevent you from experiencing the new life. Not even you can prevent it, if you are willing to change who you are. Our life-transformation is in exact proportion to the amount of truth we can take without running away.

What, then, is the requirement for the man or woman who wants to possess this greatest secret on earth? It is not strength, nor confidence, nor youthfulness, nor anything else like that. There is only one requirement: The seeker must be willing to listen, and to learn something new. With that, all things are possible.

Every man and woman, without exception, senses that there is something else beyond his ordinary life. The perfect evidence that there is something far better is his enduring search for it. Our task is to raise this unconscious sense to the conscious level where it enriches us, just as pearls enrich the man who brings them up from the ocean floor.

At this point, we can clear a major difficulty confronted by the sincere seeker. The moment he begins his quest, he is assaulted by the terrible thought that this too may be a delusion. He agonizes over the possibility that the answer may not really exist after all. His previous failures overwhelm him with the horror that this new reaching may also come back with empty hands.

NO. If he persists, in spite of his doubts and failures, he will find the answer. It exists. The mystics have found it, and they point the way; but the discovery itself must be personal. So do this: Proceed courageously upon the principle that even just a glimpse of light leads to more light. For it always does. Just dare a lot, and you will get a lot.

“But all this may call for more of a spiritual life than I want.”

Don’t try to be spiritual. That is only a word in the dictionary. Make it your goal to become a normally functioning individual. Let these principles shape you according to your real nature of a simple, decent, honest, unafraid human being.”

“Then mysticism is a system for mental health.”

“Of course. And much more.”

Rise above yourself.

TRUTH DEFINITIONS AND HANDLING A PROBLEM:

When meeting a difficulty of any kind—you must ask yourself, “Am I going to fight this difficulty or am I going to rise above it?”

If you decide to fight, you will have to fight—endlessly and wearily—for it is the very battling with a problem that keeps it going. But if you decide to transcend it through insight, the problem disappears forever. It vanishes because you now see there was no individual AND his problem, there was only an individual who WAS his problem. Rise above yourself

Enlightenment expresses itself uniquely to each person in expression and content

Humanity has unfortunately placed infront of himself a model of a perfect human being, so a perfect man was born out of the value system by our Jesus, Buddha, ect, but the problem is nature (TRUTH) is not interested in creating a perfect human or body (man) we are all unique beings, it's only interested in creating a perfect species, that is way if there is anything as enlightenment it will be unique too each person by its expression. It cannot be possible to create enlightened beings on an assemply line. So we cannot point here he is enlightend.

The primary cause of fear is the pounding persistence of the "I" thought.

The I thought is always in wanting and in lacking never satisfied, and always in fear of loosing his sense of perishable thought.

Some pointers for the awakening one's

  1. it is utterly useless to try and change your Outer world, for its but a reflection of your Inner causes.the true seeker seeks to Change himself.

This community was created for like minded people correct?

I have noticed that some people in this group or community don't belong in here, they should comment in community's like nihilist or atheist groups, I believe this group was created for people with like minded interest, am I wrong or right?
