' The Mystic Death '...
The truth of your own nature, the mystics all testify, is that you are nothing, which reveals that you are everything.
In your deepest essence, you are identical with God or ultimate reality.
Your real Life is the birthless and deathless Life of God, and the Life of God embraces the whole of creation.
But as long as your identity is centered in the limited life of the ego, you cannot live in full consciousness of this Life.
Thus, you must die to your self-centered life in order to awaken into the Life of God.
As Rumi says, “You want Reality unmasked? Choose death!
Not the death that drags you to the tomb—the death that is a transmutation, so you at last change into the Light” (Rumi, Odes).
Or, as Jesus says, “For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it” (Matt. 16:25-26).
Thus, the genuine mystic lives in and as God only insofar as the life in and as the ego is dead.
It is the ego’s delusion of grandeur that imagines you can escape suffering and attain immortality, when in fact your life centered in the ego must be completely sacrificed in the mystical death.
Any teacher or teaching that is not clear about this just feeds the ego’s propensity for megalomania and self-deception.
The genuine mystical path involves the perpetual surrender and sacrifice of all self-centered egoistic activity, up to and including the complete sacrifice of ego-centered life itself.
Thus all genuine mysticism teaches the cultivation of selflessness, love, and compassion...

' Your Own Mind '...
Nothing in the world can bother you as much as your own mind.
-Sri Sri Ravi Shankar
' All Is Dancing '...
The whole of existence is dancing, except man.
The whole of existence is in a very relaxed movement; movement there is, certainly, but it is utterly relaxed.
Trees are growing and birds are chirping and rivers are flowing, stars are moving: everything is going in a very relaxed way.
No hurry, no haste, no worry, and no waste.
Except man.
Man has fallen a victim of his mind.
-Rajneesh
' Inner Freedom '...
I don't mind what happens.
That is the essence of inner freedom.
It is a timeless spiritual truth: release attachment to outcomes,
deep inside yourself, you'll feel good no matter what.
-Jiddu Krishnamurti
' The Afterlife '...
I have studied many Mediums that spoke of Life beyond Life..
Most of them always wrote of the Fourth Dimension and a small few that spoke of the Fifth Dimension..
The Fourth Dimension is a Vacation from the pain of the lower frequencies of matter..
It appears as Heaven to a slave of Ego-Consciousness..
All Illusions are created by instant desires..
But, It is a scam to insert the ego-consciousness back into the battery of illusions..
You, recharge before 'you' return by reincarnation to work as a slave again..
You must go beyond All Dimensions,, You Must Return To Source..
This is only accomplished by the Surrender of the Desire for separate existence from Creative Thought..
This is called Enlightenment...

Information is Power.
Think For Yourself.
CAUTION: proper use of the brain is not endorsed by federal governments nor huge corporations involved in serious financial profit from a brainwashed and enslaved population.
Mild discomfort may occur as confusing independent thought challenges popular views of the world.

' An Evil Soul '...
The devil can cite Scripture for his purpose.
An evil soul producing holy witness Is like a villain with a smiling cheek,
A goodly apple rotten at the heart.
O, what a goodly outside falsehood hath!
-William Shakespeare
' Be Formless '...
Empty your mind, be formless.
Shapeless, like water.
If you put water into a cup, it becomes the cup.
You put water into a bottle and it becomes the bottle.
You put it in a teapot it becomes the teapot.
Now, water can flow or it can crash.
Be water, my friend.
-Bruce Lee
' The Real You '...
Just imagine becoming the way you used to be as a very young child,
before you understood the meaning of any word,
before opinions took over your mind.
The real you is loving, joyful, and free.
The real you is just like a flower, just like the wind, just like the ocean, just like the sun.
-Miguel Angel Ruiz

If you do something for someone else, never remember.

I will not need your help, so have a miraculous day.

' Words from a Mysic called Jesus '...
Humanity’s awakening process, as you keep hearing from many sources, is moving forward rapidly and most effectively. More and more people, who have so far been totally engrossed in the seeming reality of their lives in form as humans, are beginning to become aware that they are far more than their bodily experiences would suggest, and are now very actively seeking knowledge about life after death, and about their spiritual heritage. This vast increase in interest and awareness is partly because all in human form at this moment chose to be here to take part in and assist with the awakening process, and partly because it is only now that they are beginning to sense – i.e. remember – that life has a much deeper meaning than focusing onlyon life as a human in form can provide.
Truly, humanity is awakening, and signs of this can be seen all over the world as ever more groups are forming with the intent to bring to people’s awareness now the earnest and heartfelt need to make essential changes in the way humanity engages with itself, and with the worldly environment which supports it and makes life as a human possible. Change is the one constant in the life of form that you are presently experiencing, and each one of you personally influences the changes that occur, so make a point of becoming aware of how you, personally, influence the changes occurring in the world around you.
Before you incarnated for this lifetime you set the intent to remember the life purpose that you had planned before incarnating at the moment that would be most appropriate for you to fully engage with it. A sense of this purpose is now arising, just as planned, and you are feeling yourselves moved to engage with life in a more loving and compassionate fashion in order to do the work that only you can do. As you move forward your awareness and understanding of your unique spiritual assignment will become increasingly clear, enabling you to let go of any doubts or sense of inadequacy that may attempt to persuade you that you are not qualified for the tasks that you have set yourselves.
Remember you are never alone, and that assistance is always available from your support team in the spiritual realms if you will only call on them. However, many of you feel unheard and unanswered when you do call on them, and this is because often you only call when you are feeling desperate or overwhelmed, and when you feel like that your minds tend to be in a constant state of uproar as your egos go into panic mode, and the clamor of your thoughts drowns out the gentle guidance that you are being offered. Frequently your sense of overwhelm is caused by events over which you have no control, which leaves you feeling helpless and inadequate. However, that is not the case, you are neither helpless nor inadequate, you just need to focus on what you can do in a situation, as opposed to focusing on what your egos keep telling you needs to be done, and which it seems you cannot do. Each one of you is capable of making an enormous difference in the world when you just set and maintain the intent to be only loving whatever arises.
Love is both powerful and gentle. You do not have to take violent physical action to correct situations that are causing trouble, and history makes it clear that this has never worked. Gentle persuasion, offered lovingly and without judgment or condemnation, is extremely effective, and there are very few among you who have not experienced this personally, or at least seen others effectively dealing very successfully with issues in this manner. You have enormous power when you engage lovingly with life, and before you incarnated, knowing this, you did set the intent to be loving whatever arose. Now is the time for you to put that plan into effect.
One most effective ways in which you can open your awareness more fully, so that you can receive or access the information you need to complete your awakening assignment, is to allow yourselves to trust that all is divinely taken care of, and to realize that all you need do is to flow freely with the energies of the Tsunami of Love which have enfolded the planet to guide her forward. All is moving forward perfectly toward your awakening, so just let go of the doubts and anxieties relating to the news of conflicts, epidemics, and political chaos on which the media of every nature is constantly focusing its and your attention. Yes, there is much going on that needs to be dealt with, and so major changes are being planned and considered so that humanity can move forward humanely and compassionately into the new era that will lead to an end to conflict. The realization is becoming apparent to increasing numbers of people that conflict is a totally inadequate and ineffective way in which to attempt to resolve any kind of disagreement, either on an individual scale or on an international one.
Conflict has never served humanity except to demonstrate how utterly inadequate engaging with it is if you really wish to resolve issues and problems. Frequently, over the eons, people who have allowed their egos to control and direct their thoughts, words, and actions have enjoyed punishing and destroying those they have considered to be wrong, and therefore their enemies. Nevertheless, those same people have also suffered enormously due to their behavior, when the treatment that they have meted out to others is later used against them. Many are in pain and suffering, and the antidote is Love.
The time for conflict is over, especially now as you understand the immense destructive power of modern weapons that technology has made available, and which ever increasing numbers of military organizations are deploying as “defense systems!” When new weapons are invented an intense need to use them arises because those who have control of them, while possibly being bright and intelligent people, tend to have an emotional age of somewhere between approximately eight and fourteen years, and thus have an intense desire to see these new and exciting weapons in action! Many grew up in abusive environments and learnt to be street smart, which means generally taking preemptive action to ensure their survival, and as a result they never matured as human beings, because they believed that they had to be constantly on guard against surprise attack.
To mature as a human, and to then evolve spiritually, as has always been your collective intent, it is essential to take time out to be quiet daily in a space in which you feel safe. During that time the nudges and reminders from your support team in the spiritual realms can bring to your attention the awareness that you are a spiritual being having a temporary experience in form. When this happens an intense interest in the real purpose of your human life makes itself felt, leading to ever deeper excursions into the depth of your being where Love resides permanently.
These quiet times need to be available from very early childhood, and yet many children are constantly encouraged to be doing things with no time available to just be quiet. The cultures in which most children grow up tend to encourage non-stop activity – and little ones do need lots of activity as their bodies grow and develop – leaving very little time for quite reflection. And yet children do need regular time periods during which they can reflect on what is happening to them as they grow from infancy to adulthood, and in doing so they can start to become aware of the absolute vastness of their inner space. Day-dreaming is good for everyone, especially when you dream about engaging lovingly with others in honor, respect, and love. Love is your nature, as you very well know, so to spend time in contemplation of that nature, your divine nature, strengthens and inspires you, leading you to greater self-knowledge and intense inner peace. And doing that is part of the task you set yourselves before incarnating, so, as I have asked you so often, please make sure to take time out daily for this essential practice. When you do, you will start to see the Love that resides in everyone else.
Your loving brother, Jesus.
' The State of Enlightenment '...
So many Saints like Francis of Assisi has spoken to you of Reality..
They are forgotten within the will of egoic power..
This constant struggle between Dream and Desire..
The Light that You exist Within..
The Knowledge that flows though You..
It is The Heaven of Higher Frequency, but not the Last..
Heaven exists within many frequencies of Understanding..
Francis spoke of seven..
The Highest Heaven is to surrender all experience of separation from Consciousness..

' What Is Actually Real ?'...
Within this Manifestion of Reality, We experience both pain and pleasure..
Each is placed within this Manifestation to Teach of Actual Reality..
The Fact that We Hate, is a Negative Mirror of Reality, to Teach you of Opposite..
We Forget of Past Manifestations as We do of Dreams..
They have always been Dreams..
Rise up Religion and Authority and you have destroyed Truth..
As Jesus said;
" Those that Know will Know, the rest will experience a Good Story "..
The Time to Leave this Dream is Near..
I Thank Gautama and Yeshua to show me the Truth of Reality before my death..
As Jesus and Gautama said ;
" You must die to be Born ;..
It is the Death of the Ego that They speak of...

' Self-transformation '...
If you want to awaken all of humanity,
then awaken all of yourself,
if you want to eliminate the suffering in the world,
then eliminate all that is negative in yourself.
Truly,
the greatest gift you have to give is that of your own self-transformation.
-Laozi
' Conquer Evil '...
Conquer anger by love, evil by good;
Conquer the miser with liberality, and the liar with truth.

There are three classes of people:
those who see,

' The Reformation '...
From the beginning of my Reformation I have asked God to send me neither dreams, nor visions, nor angels,
but to give me the right understanding of His Word, the Holy Scriptures;
for as long as I have God's Word,
I know that I am walking in His way and that I shall not fall into any error or delusion.
-Martin Luther
' The Greatest Revolution '...
The greatest revolution of our generation is the discovery that human beings,
by changing the inner attitudes of their minds,
can change the outer aspects of their lives.
-William James
" You must be born again"...
"'Ye must be born again' -- of the Spirit.
You must cease from being mortal man; you must rise in consciousness to the awareness of yourself as pure Spirit, Life and Soul.
You must see and understand 'this world' as a mirage, an illusion, a mesmeric suggestion and not attempt to heal it, pray for it, save it or redeem it; but see it for what it is -- a false concept of Reality, a dream-picture.
'Awake thou that sleepest and Christ shall give thee light.'
When we awaken from this dream world, we will 'see Him as He is,' and we will then be satisfied that all is well and will 'be like Him' -- spiritual and perfect.
Must we die to awaken to this Truth?
No.
We must know, understand and acknowledge that what we behold is not the world of Reality, and God is not in it; but seeing through it we behold 'the temple not made with hands' -- the spiritual universe here and now."
-- from Joel Goldsmith's "Spiritual Interpretation of Scripture"

Silence is truth.
Silence is bliss.
Silence is peace.
And hence Silence is the Self.
-Ramana Maharshi
' Analyze Yourself '...
Millions of people never analyze themselves.
Mentally they are mechanical products of the factory of their environment, preoccupied with breakfast, lunch, and dinner, working and sleeping, and going here and there to be entertained.
They don't know what or why they are seeking, nor why they never realize complete happiness and lasting satisfaction.
By evading self-analysis, people go on being robots, conditioned by their environment.
True self-analysis is the greatest art of progress.
-Paramahansa Yogananda
' Abide In Me '...
Abide in Me says Jesus. Cling to Me. Stick fast to Me.
Live the life of close and intimate communion with Me.
Get nearer to Me. Roll every burden on Me. Cast your whole weight on Me.
Never let go your hold on Me for a moment.
Be, as it were, rooted and planted in Me.
Do this and I will never fail you.
I will ever abide in you.
-J. C. Ryle
' The Teacher Continues to Learn '...
A teacher can never truly teach unless he is still learning himself.
A lamp can never light another lamp unless it continues to burn its own flame.
The teacher who has come to the end of his subject,
who has no living traffic with his knowledge but merely repeats his lesson to his students,
can only load their minds, he cannot quicken them.
-Rabindranath Tagore
' Quantum Mechanics '...
If quantum mechanics hasn't profoundly shocked you,
you haven't understood it yet.
-Niels Bohr
' Alpha Mental Control '...
Alpha waves in the human brain are between 6 and 8 hertz.
The wave frequency of the human cavity resonates between 6 and 8 hertz.
All biological systems operate in the same frequency range.
The human brain's alpha waves function in this range and the electrical resonance of the earth is between 6 and 8 hertz.
Thus, our entire biological system - the brain and the earth itself - work on the same frequencies.
If we can control that resonate system electronically, we can directly control the entire mental system of humankind.
-Nikola Tesla
' Freedom of Speech '...
Whoever would overthrow the liberty of a nation must begin by subduing the freeness of speech.
-Benjamin Franklin
' Wisdom Accepts '...
If you know the psychological nature of your own mind,
depression is spontaneously dispelled;
instead of being enemies and strangers,
all living beings become your friends.
The narrow mind rejects; wisdom accepts.
Check your own mind to see whether or not this is true.
-Thubten Zopa Rinpoche
' You Cannot Lose '...
Give up defining yourself - to yourself or to others.
You won't die.
You will come to life.
And don't be concerned with how others define you.
When they define you, they are limiting themselves, so it's their problem.
Whenever you interact with people, don't be there primarily as a function or a role, but as the field of conscious Presence.
You can only lose something that you have, but you cannot lose something that you are.
-Eckhart Tolle
' It's About You '...
It's about you,
giving yourself permission to be who you are,
without giving a rip about what anybody else is thinking about it.
-Esther Hicks
' You Get to Choose '...
With everything that has happened to you, you can either feel sorry for yourself or treat what has happened as a gift.
Everything is either an opportunity to grow or an obstacle to keep you from growing.
You get to choose.
-Wayne Dyer
' Freedom '...
Freedom is not overcoming what you think stands in your way.
It is understanding that what is in your way is part of the way.
-Guy Finley
' Zen Teaches Nothing '...
Zen teaches nothing;
it merely enables us to wake up and become aware.
It does not teach, it points.
-D.T. Suzuki
' Successful People '...
Successful people aren't born that way.
They become successful by establishing the habit of doing things unsuccessful people don't like to do.
The successful people don't always like these things themselves; they just get on and do them.
-William Makepeace Thackeray
' The American Elite '...
The American elite is almost beyond redemption. . . .
Moral relativism has set in so deeply that the gilded classes have become incapable of discerning right from wrong.
Everything can be explained away, especially by journalists.
Life is one great moral mush--sophistry washed down with Chardonnay.
The ordinary citizens, thank goodness, still adhere to absolutes....
It is they who have saved the republic from creeping degradation while their 'betters' were derelict.
-Charles Dickens
' Alone With God '...
There is a loneliness more precious than life.
There is a freedom more precious than the world.
Infinitely more precious than life and the world is that moment,
when one is alone with God.
-Rumi
' You Are Life '...
You are not separate from the whole.
You are one with the sun, the earth, the air.
You don’t have a life.
You are life.
-Eckhart Tolle
' Within Our Being '...
The discovery that peace, happiness and love are ever-present within our own Being,
and completely available at every moment of experience, under all conditions,
is the most important discovery that anyone can make.
-Rupert Spira
' Just Keep Quiet '...
Don't be too quick to interpret the moment.
Just keep quiet.
My encouragement would always be: never think anything is against you, everything is blessing.
Why should it be different?
Just be quiet.
Let it all work itself out.
-Mooji
' Ego Identifications '...
The most common ego identifications have to do with possessions,
the work you do, social status and recognition, knowledge and education,
physical appearance, special abilities, relationships, person and family history,
belief systems, and often nationalistic, racial, religious, and other collective identifications.
None of these is you.
-Eckhart Tolle
' Only Total Love '...
The sense of duality, which is a barrier to true love, must prevail so long as the apperception of Truth has not occurred.
Once individuality is surrendered, there is only total Love.
-Ramesh S Balsekar
' Mystical Evolution '...
Deep down, all of us are probably aware that some kind of mystical evolution is our true task.
Yet we suppress the notion with considerable force because to admit it is to admit that most of our political gyrations,
religious dogmas, social ambitions, and financial ploys are not merely counter-productive but trivial.
-Tom Robbins
' You Are Infinite '...
Never say NO,
Never say, 'I cannot', for you are INFINITE.
All the power is WITHIN you.
You can do anything.
-Swami Vivekananda
' The Truth is Still the Truth '...
Many people, especially ignorant people, want to punish you for speaking the truth, for being correct, for being you.
Never apologize for being correct, or for being years ahead of your time.
If you’re right and you know it, speak your mind.
Speak your mind.
Even if you are a minority of one, the truth is still the truth.
-Mahatma Gandhi
' A Pharmacological Prison '...
There will be, in the next generation or so,
a pharmacological method of making people love their servitude,
and producing dictatorship without tears,
so to speak, producing a kind of painless concentration camp for entire societies,
so that people will in fact have their liberties taken away from them, but will rather enjoy it.
-Aldous Huxley
' How Magic is Done '...
Nature loves courage.
You make the commitment and nature will respond to that commitment by removing impossible obstacles.
Dream the impossible dream and the world will not grind you under, it will lift you up.
This is the trick.
This is what all these teachers and philosophers who really counted, who really touched the alchemical gold, this is what they understood.
This is the shamanic dance in the waterfall.
This is how magic is done.
By hurling yourself into the abyss and discovering it's a feather bed.
-Terence McKenna
' A World in Turmoil '...
As muddy water is best cleared by leaving it alone,
it could be argued that those who sit quietly and do nothing
are making one of the best possible contributions to a world in turmoil.
-Alan Watts
' The Practice of Fools '...
Tricks and treachery are the practice of fools,
that don't have brains enough to be honest.
-Benjamin Franklin
' The Greatest Gift '...
If you want to awaken all of humanity, then awaken all of yourself,
if you want to eliminate the suffering in the world, then eliminate all that is negative in yourself.
Truly, the greatest gift you have to give is that of your own self-transformation.
-Laozi
' Two Different People '...
There are two different types of people in the world,
those who want to know,
and those who want to believe.
-Friedrich Nietzsche
' The Prison of Desire '...
I tell you the truth,
it is hard for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven.
Again I tell you,
it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven.
-Jesus the Christ
' True Food '...
Man is more miserable, more restless and unsatisfied than ever before,
simply because half his nature--the spiritual-
-is starving for true food, and the other half--
the material--is fed with bad food.
-Paul Brunton
' War Is Hell '...
I am tired and sick of war.
Its glory is all moonshine.
It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood,
for vengeance, for desolation.
War is hell.
-William Tecumseh Sherman
' Everything that I Needed '...
I asked for strength,
and God gave me difficulties to make me strong.
I asked for wisdom,
and God gave me problems to learn to solve.
I asked for prosperity,
and God gave me a brain and brawn to work.
I asked for courage,
and God gave me dangers to overcome.
I asked for love,
and God gave me people to help.
I asked for favors,
and God gave me opportunities.
I received nothing I wanted.
I received everything I needed.
-Hazrat Inayat Khan
' Disturbing Reality '...
When we start to feel anxious or depressed,
instead of asking,
"What do I need to get to be happy?"
The question becomes,
"What am I doing to disturb the inner peace that I already have?"
-D.T. Suzuki
' To Suffer about Suffering '...
Like too much alcohol,self-consciousness makes us see ourselves double,
and we make the double image for two selves - mental and material,
controlling and controlled, reflective and spontaneous.
Thus instead of suffering we suffer about suffering,
and suffer about suffering about suffering.
-Alan Watts
' Born with Potential '...
One isn't necessarily born with courage, but one is born with potential.
Without courage, we cannot practice any other virtue with consistency.
We can't be kind, true, merciful, generous, or honest.
-Maya Angelou
' The Goal of Life '...
If you do not find peace within,
you will not find it anywhere else.
The Goal of Life is the attainment of Peace and not the achievement of power, name, fame and wealth.
-Sivananda
' Only the Present '...
There is neither past nor future.
There is only the present.
Yesterday was the present to you when you experienced it,
and tomorrow will be also the present when you experience it.
Therefore, experience takes place only in the present,
and beyond experience nothing exists.
-Ramana Maharshi
' Seeing the Future '...
I see in the near future a crisis approaching that unnerves me and causes me to tremble for the safety of my country...
corporations have been enthroned and an era of corruption in high places will follow,
and the money power of the country will endeavor to prolong its reign by working upon the prejudices of the people until all wealth is aggregated in a few hands and the Republic is destroyed.
-Abraham Lincoln
' My Life Turns '...
When I look inside and see that I'm nothing, that's wisdom.
When I look outside and see that I'm everything, that's love.
And between these two, my life turns.
-Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
' Belief within Manifestation '...
"Believe only half of what you see and nothing that you hear".
-Edgar Allan Poe
' Simply Wait '...
You do not need to leave your room.
Remain sitting at your table and listen.
Do not even listen, simply wait, be quiet, still and solitary.
The world will freely offer itself to you to be unmasked,
it has no choice, it will roll in ecstasy at your feet.
-Franz Kafka
' Death is the end of the Dream '...
If to enjoy even an enjoyable present we must have the assurance of a happy future, we are “crying for the moon.”
We have no such assurance.
The best predictions are still matters of probability rather than certainty, and to the best of our knowledge every one of us is going to suffer and die.
If, then, we cannot live happily without an assured future,
we are certainly not adapted to living in a finite world where,
despite the best plans, accidents will happen,
and where death comes at the end.
-Alan Watts
' What do you See ?'...
It's the beauty within us that makes it possible for us to recognize the beauty around us.
The question is not what you look at but what you see.
-Henry David Thoreau
' Free Thinkers '...
Freethinkers are those who are willing to use their minds without prejudice and without fearing to understand things that clash with their own customs,
privileges, or beliefs.
This state of mind is not common, but it is essential for right thinking.
-Leo Tolstoy
' In Silence '...
You must learn to exist with no religion, no country, no allies.
You must learn to live alone in silence.
-William S. Burroughs
' An Exchange of Atoms '...
The body is a fortuitous concourse of atoms.
There is no death for the body, only an exchange of atoms.
Their changing places and taking different forms is what we call 'death.'
It's a process which restores the energy level in nature that has gone down.
In reality, nothing is born and nothing is dead.
-U.G. Krishnamurti

The happiness of your life depends upon the quality of your thoughts.
-Marcus Aurelius
' Until The Awakening '...
The world, like a dream full of attachments and aversions seems real until the awakening.

It is precisely for the reason that Truth is utterly simple, basic,

Because 99.9 percent, Of everything you think, And of everything you do,

-Wei Wu Wei
' Longing for Love '...
You are really in search of yourself, without knowing it.
You are love-longing for the love-worthy, the perfect lovable.
Due to ignorance you are looking for it in the world of opposites and contradictions.
When you find it within, your search will be over.
-Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
' Speaking Truth '...
The further a society drifts from truth,
the more it will hate those who speak it.
-George Orwell
' You Have Owners '...
Governments don't want a population capable of critical thinking,
they want obedient workers, people just smart enough to run the machines and just dumb enough to passively accept their situation.
You have no choice.
You have owners.
They own you.
They own everything.
They own all the important land.
They own, and control the corporations.
They've long since bought, and paid for the Senate, the Congress, the state houses, the city halls,
they got the judges in their back pockets and they own all the big media companies,
so they control just about all of the news and information you get to hear.
-George Carlin
' Religion and Politics '...
Religion should not be allowed to come into Politics,

" Mankind will never see an end of trouble until lovers of wisdom come to hold political power,
or the holders of power become lovers of wisdom"..

' Surrender to the Real '...
The more you struggle to live, the less you live.
Give up the notion that you must be sure of what you are doing.
Instead, surrender to what is real within you, for that alone is sure
....you are above everything distressing.
-Baruch Spinoza
' One Eye '...
The eye through which I see God is the same eye through which God sees me;
my eye and God's eye are one eye,

' The Beginning of Love '...
“The beginning of love is the will to let those we love be perfectly themselves,
the resolution not to twist them to fit our own image.
If in loving them we do not love what they are,
but only their potential likeness to ourselves,
then we do not love them:
we only love the reflection of ourselves we find in them”
― Thomas Merton, No Man Is an Island
' The Value of Money '...
Money may be the husk of many things but not the kernel.
It brings you food, but not appetite;
medicine, but not health;
acquaintance, but not friends;
servants, but not loyalty;
days of joy, but not peace or happiness.
-Henrik Ibsen
' From Peter to Paul '...
A government that robs Peter to pay Paul
can always depend on the support of Paul.
-George Bernard Shaw
' Just Be '...
There is nothing to practice.
To know yourself, be yourself.
To be yourself, stop imagining yourself to be this or that.
Just be.
Let your true nature emerge.
Don't disturb your mind with seeking.
- Sri Nisargadatta
' Science and Consciousness '...
The more I study nature,
the more I stand amazed at the work of the Creator.
Science brings men nearer to God.
-Louis Pasteur
' Proof of Source '...
In the absence of any other proof,
the thumb alone would convince me of God's existence.
-Isaac Newton
' Don't Depend on Death '...
Don't depend on death to liberate you from your imperfections.
You are exactly the same after death as you were before.
Nothing changes; you only give up the body.
If you are a thief or a liar or a cheater before death, you don't become an angel merely by dying.
If such were possible, then let us all go and jump in the ocean now and become angels at once!
Whatever you have made of yourself thus far, so will you be hereafter.
And when you reincarnate, you will bring that same nature with you.
To change, you have to make the effort.
This world is the place to do it.
-Paramahansa Yogananda
' Your Unique River '...
Some beings will walk with you for the duration of this bodily existence, up to the very end.
Some will come with bright promises, bright lights, but they fade quickly.
Others come, they don’t look like they will go very far, but they are marathon runners; they’re there with you all the time.
You cannot determine this...
Somehow in the flow of your own unique river, you will see that everything is as it should be.
-Mooji
' Socialism '...
Socialism is a philosophy of failure,
the creed of ignorance,
and the gospel of envy,
its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery.
-Winston Churchill
' Ego Identifications '...
The most common ego identifications have to do with possessions, the work you do,
social status and recognition, knowledge and education, physical appearance,
special abilities, relationships, person and family history, belief systems,
and often nationalistic, racial, religious, and other collective identifications.
None of these is you.
-Eckhart Tolle
' Who am I ?'...
The question 'Who am I?'
is not really meant to get an answer,
the question 'Who am I?'
is meant to dissolve the questioner.
- Sri Ramana Maharshi
' Die Before Dying '...
To conquer himself is the greatest victory that man can gain.
- Saint Ignatius of Loyola
