' You Are Awareness '...
You are awareness. Awareness is another name for you. Since you are awareness there is no need to attain or cultivate it. All that you have to do is to give up being aware of other things, that is of the not-Self. If one gives up being aware of them then pure awareness alone remains, and that is the Self.
............Ramana Maharshi

......... Saint Therese of Lisieux
' Prayer without Words '...
There is no danger if our prayer is without words or reflection because the good success of prayer depends neither on words nor on study. It depends upon the simple raising of our minds to God, and the more simple and stripped of feeling it is, the surer it is.
........... Saint Jane Frances de Chantal
' 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

' Successful Humans '...

' What is Grace ?'...
So a third phase becomes necessary, the phase of getting rid of the ego altogether; this can be done only by the final dissolving operation of Grace, which the man has to request and to which he has to give his consent... these words are from Paul Brunton but also meet at the same door that I entered.... It is so strange to feel a surge of a Wind of Love that knocks you to the ground and you leave the consciousness of ego and body.. This is not given often.. you must be real in your desire to be Free... First, falling into Darkness and then into Light and love.. Perhaps, I have told you more that you should find yourself or else, you will blame me for lieing............thomas

' Travel Well '...
Three things cannot be long hidden: the sun, the moon, and the truth.
Health is the greatest gift, contentment the greatest wealth, faithfulness the best relationship.
Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment.
The mind is everything. What you think you become.
You only lose what you cling to.
Peace comes from within. Do not seek it without.
All that we are is the result of what we have thought.
We are what we think. All that we are arises with our thoughts. With our thoughts, we make the world.
No one saves us but ourselves. No one can and no one may. We ourselves must walk the path.
It is better to travel well than to arrive.
...........Gautama the Buddha
' Bhagavad Gita Quotes on Life and Death '...
The states of sattva, rajas, and tamas come from me, but I am not in them.
The three Gunas make up my divine Maya, difficult to overcome. But they cross over this Maya who takes refuge in me.
Some come to the spiritual life because of suffering, some in order to understand life; some come through a desire to achieve life’s purpose, and some come who are men and women of wisdom. Unwavering in devotion, always united with me, the man or woman of wisdom surpasses all the others.
After many births the wise seek refuge in me, seeing me everywhere and in everything. Such great souls are very rare.
The world, deluded, does not know that I am without birth and changeless. I know everything about the past, the present, and the future, Arjuna; but there is no one who knows me completely.
Delusion arises from the duality of attraction and aversion, Arjuna; every creature is deluded by these from birth.
Those who see me ruling the cosmos, who see me in the adhibhuta, the adhidaiva, and the adhiyajna, are conscious of me even at the time of death.
The Lord is the supreme poet, the first cause, the sovereign ruler, subtler than the tiniest particle, the support of all, inconceivable, bright as the sun, beyond darkness.
Remembering me at the time of death, close down the doors of the senses and place the mind in the heart. Then, while absorbed in meditation, focus all energy upwards to the head. Repeating in this state the divine name, the syllable Om that represents the changeless Brahman, you will go forth from the body and attain the supreme goal.
I am easily attained by the person who always remembers me and is attached to nothing else. Such a person is a true yogi, Arjuna.
Every creature in the universe is subject to rebirth, Arjuna, except the one who is united with me.
The six months of the northern path of the sun, the path of light, of fire, of day, of the bright fortnight, leads knowers of Brahman to the supreme goal. The six months of the southern path of the sun, the path of smoke, of night, of the dark fortnight, leads other souls to the light of the moon and to rebirth.
Under my watchful eye, the laws of nature take their course. Thus is the world set in motion; thus the animate and the inanimate are created.
I am the ritual and the sacrifice; I am true medicine and the mantram. I am the offering and the fire which consumes it, and the one to whom it is offered.
I am the father and mother of this universe, and its grandfather too; I am its entire support. I am the sum of all knowledge, the purifier, the syllable Om; I am the sacred scriptures, the Rig, Yajur, and Sama Vedas.
I am the goal of life, the Lord, and support of all, the inner witness, the abode of all. I am the only refuge, the one true friend; I am the beginning, the staying, and the end of creation; I am the womb and the eternal seed.
Those who follow the rituals given in the Vedas, who offer sacrifices and take soma, free themselves from evil and attain the vast heaven of the gods, where they enjoy celestial pleasures. When they have enjoyed these fully, their merit is exhausted and they return to this land of death. Thus observing Vedic rituals but caught in an endless chain of desires, they come and go.
Those who worship me and meditate on me constantly, without any other thought – I will provide for all their needs.
Those who worship the devas will go to the realm of the devas; those who worship their ancestors will be united with them after death. Those who worship phantoms will become phantoms, but my devotees will come to me. Those who worship the devas will go to the realm of the devas; those who worship their ancestors will be united with them after death. Those who worship phantoms will become phantoms, but my devotees will come to me.
Fill your mind with me; love me; serve me; worship me always. Seeking me in your heart, you will, at last, be united with me.
All the scriptures lead to me; I am their author and their wisdom.

' Walk Lightly '...
It's dark because you are trying too hard. Lightly child, lightly. Learn to do everything lightly. Yes, feel lightly even though you're feeling deeply. Just lightly let things happen and lightly cope with them. So throw away your baggage and go forward. There are quicksands all about you, sucking at your feet, trying to suck you down into fear and self-pity and despair. That's why you must walk so lightly. Lightly my darling.
.........Aldous Huxley

' Out of Nothingness '...
Everything comes out of nothingness and goes back into nothingness. Hence there is no need for attachment, because attachment will bring misery. Soon it will be gone. The flower that has blossomed in the morning, by the evening will be gone. Don't get attached; otherwise in the evening there will be misery. Then there will be tears, then you will miss the flower. Enjoy while it is. But remember, it has come out of nothing, and it will go back to nothing. And the same is true about everything, even about people.

' The Walk to Truth '...
This walk to Truth...
Below these words are the Coptic Hymn..
They speak of sin,
which they do not understand..
Sin is the distance between duality..
Sin truly means to be deceived..
Sin is the distance that You are from Reality..
So easy for me to say, but understanding is another matter..
You are seeking to discover the Heart that already exists within You..
This 'you' and 'You' that I write about are most pleasing within the mind of discovery..
You as Consciousness wants a challenge, as also we do..
Therefore, We begin this walk to Truth...

Man is a microcosm, or a little world, because he is an extract from all the stars and planets of the whole firmament, from the earth and the elements; and so he is their quintessence.
................Paracelsus
' Possibilities '...
A man only begins to be a man when he ceases to whine and revile, and commences to search for the hidden justice which regulates his life. And he adapts his mind to that regulating factor, he ceases to accuse others as the cause of his condition, and builds himself up in strong and noble thoughts; ceases to kick against circumstances, but begins to use them as aids to his more rapid progress, and as a means of the hidden powers and possibilities within himself.

' Teachers '...
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
' Best and Worst of Times '...
It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of light, it was the season of darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair.

your self.. What does non-ego have to do with Sacred?.. Sacred is Devine
Consciousness.. Sacred is Us.. Sacred is Reality.. Sacred is All.. There is
Nothing that is not Sacred.. The belief in the ego is preventing us from Knowing
that We are Sacred.. Become Sacred.. Become Real.. Become Your

' Ascension '...
you should know by now that ascension into higher frequencies is just the ego becoming less ego..
It is not the end of the road..
this is the 'long path' of lower self..
the 'short path' is faster to enter..
once again, you must ask yourself;
" who is ascending"?..
does God need to ascend?..
who are 'You"?..
why do you need voices to tell you who You are?..
If they knew, they would not be separate from You..
The Light will appear,
But, It will have no name..

' The Principal Goal of Education '...
The principal goal of education is to create men who are capable of doing new things, not simply of repeating what other generations have done-men who are creative, inventive, and discovers.

' The Question is, " What is Love ?"...
The lack of egoic desires are the power that we call love.. It is that easy.. To surrender the desire for separate existence is the act of Love.. Selflessness is also a word to describe Love.. Source is that State of Non-ego that we call God.. Yeshua once said that We are All Gods.. This just means that We are Love.. Grasp this meaning.. We exist as Frequencies of Holograms... We Are Consciousness.. The Creator Self is Divine Consciousness.. Upon understanding this fundamental of existence, we realize that We are the Dreams of Divine Consciousness and upon leaving this stage, We realize that We Are Source without separate ego.. we are Free...................thomas
' Love Cannot Be Destroyed '...
Love is within us. It cannot be destroyed. It can be ignored. To the extent that we abandon love we will feel it has abandoned us.

Love heals, forgives, and makes whole.

My dear, In the midst of hate, I found there was, within me, an invincible love. In the midst of tears, I found there was, within me, an invincible smile.

And that makes me happy. For it says that no matter how hard the world pushes against me, within me, there’s something stronger – something better, pushing right back. Truly yours, Albert Camus

' True Self-Analysis '...
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
' The Amazing Grace '...
It is the entrance into the non-self-ishness called ego..
You, as soul must transend the lower self to be Free.
There is only Source, therefore, we are now speaking of Dreams..
This idea of Karma is a farce as it only belongs to a Dream of separation called ego..
Karma only belongs to a Fantasy, It contains no object called Real Self and therefore is not Real..
Real Self is only found when Name has no meaning..
The Divine Consciousness of Dream and Consciousness is another Beginning..
Pure Awareness awaits Your knocking..
But, the Door will be opened, only when there is no one to ask entrance...

' Modes of Articulation '...
By failing to read or listen to poets, society dooms itself to inferior modes of articulation, those of the politician, the salesman, or the charlatan. In other words, it forfeits its own evolutionary potential. For what distinguishes us from the rest of the animal kingdom is precisely the gift of speech. Poetry is not a form of entertainment and in a certain sense not even a form of art, but it is our anthropological, genetic goal. Our evolutionary, linguistic beacon.
...........Joseph Brodsky
' Attacks on the ego '...
A person who suffers bitterly when slighted or insulted should recognize from this that he still harbors the ancient serpent in his breast. If he quietly endures the insult or responds with great humility, he weakens the serpent and lessens its hold. But if he replies acrimoniously or brazenly, he gives it strength to pour its venom into his heart and to feed mercilessly on his guts. In this way the serpent becomes increasingly powerful; it destroys his soul's strength and his attempts to set himself right, compelling him to live for sin and to be completely dead to righteousness.
...........Symeon the New Theologian
' Everlasting Joy '...
