' To Understand Truth '...
A man must first of all understand certain things. He has thousands of false ideas and false conceptions, chiefly about himself, and he must get rid of some of them before beginning to acquire anything new. Otherwise the new will be built on a wrong foundation and the result will be worse than before. To speak the truth is the most difficult thing in the world; one must study a great deal and for a long time in order to speak the truth. The wish alone is not enough. To speak the truth one must know what the truth is and what a lie is, and first of all in oneself. And this nobody wants to know.

Oct 23............................
We are, to put it human terms, working over time here in the spiritual realms as the human collective continues to move rapidly toward the grand and momentous event – your collective awakening! It truly is very, very close! Yes, we have for many years now been telling you that your awakening is close, that it will happen soon, and that was true. But time, as you experience it in the unreal environment of pure materialism, is variable, it is not a constant one directional flow, as it appears to you, and therefore it makes it difficult for us to address it in a way that makes sense to you. Having made that clarification, I will say again “Your moment of awakening is very close.”
Remember there is only now, and you can experience now, as many of you have, by going into a deep meditative state. Be of good cheer, be uplifted by these loving forecasts, and gladden the hearts of those with whom you interact by your utterly loving and uplifting presence. You do not need to say anything or engage them in discussion, just BE, and they will feel your beautiful energy field enveloping them with a sense of increased power, and they will therefore experience a personal sense of awareness of their own beautiful and powerful energy fields.
Just Being is the reason for your present incarnation, now, today.
There are no accidents. It seems to you that accidents are frequent occurrences, and you are required and/or encouraged to invest in insurance policies that will protect your items of value in case one happens to you. However all ‘accidents’ have a spiritual purpose which is normally not apparent in the moment that it occurs, but which may be recognized at a later date. And there are always lessons to be learned when they occur which often leads to changes in legislation in order to reduce or eliminate the possibility of them recurring.
Not one of you is on Earth by accident. Unplanned pregnancies are not accidents, nor are motor accidents, severe illnesses, or the seemingly untimely deaths of loved ones, and nor are the various ways that people choose to deal with them. Every event has a divine purpose, it provides an opportunity for learning, although often the lesson being offered is not recognized until some time later, or not at all. Nevertheless, they always bring healing to those affected by them.
Remember: You are never alone! Loneliness, separation, and any sense of not having someone with whom to share your joys or your worries are just an aspect of the illusion, dream, or game of separation in which you have chosen to take part. You can, and should, always call on and open yourselves to receive loving guidance from your individual support teams in the non-physical realms. We are watching over you in every moment, awaiting your call for guidance and loving encouragement in whatever you are dealing with, as you journey toward the awakening that you so willingly and courageously chose to participate in by incarnating, in order to assist all your brothers and sisters on their paths home to Reality.
As many of you are very well aware, all across the world many loving ones are right now joining together in communities to support each other, and from which they are constantly offering invitations to others to join them and enjoy the unconditional acceptance that is a major aspect of these groups. This is truly a magnificent and heartwarming sign of the awakening process in action. If any of you are feeling lost and alone, then please do ask us for help in seeking out a loving community that you can join. And know that each one of you always have your own unique and individual gifts to offer to any group that you choose to join, because you are each, without any exceptions, brilliant expressions of the One. Please let go of any sense of worthlessness or unworthiness that are undermining your trust in yourselves, because you are each divine beings, and those deeply buried negative beliefs about yourselves are completely and utterly invalid.
I cannot emphasize strongly enough how important it is for you to relax daily into your holy inner sanctuaries, and while there set the intent to let go of any and all feelings or beliefs you may have that indicate to you that you are, in any manner, unworthy. You are pure divine beings, and any sense you may have that you are unlovable or unworthy of the love of other humans or of Mother/Father/God are insane. God created you in Love, so how could you possibly be unworthy or unlovable!
However, most of you were frequently shamed in infancy and childhood over meaningless errors you made. It is an aspect of nearly every culture, race, and ethnicity, and the intent of those shaming you was loving, they were attempting to teach you to fit into the culture into which you had been born, just as had happened to them. You know intellectually that those feelings or beliefs are invalid, but they were so deeply ingrained during those early years that you learned to obey and comply in order to receive the loving care that you needed at that age in order to survive. When it was withheld it was not only extremely painful, it was terrifying. Separation was most powerfully demonstrated to you, and you naturally had to bury the trauma it caused you in essential self-defense.
To awaken is to become fully and completely aware of your inseparability from your Source, and to know yourselves as Love incarnate. By doing just that, by just being, you enormously assist all with whom you interact in any way at all in remembering that they too are One with Source in every moment of their existence, as your loving energy envelops them and brings even a momentary awareness to them of their eternal and God-given complete and unconditional acceptability.
There is not, and never has been a sentient creation of God’s that is in even the most infinitesimal manner unworthy of Love, because you are all created from Love, and therefore you are LOVE. That can never change, and your task as a human is to remember that, and awaken from the dream into Reality, your eternal Home, where you are at every moment in the Presence of God, the only ‘place’ that exists.
Your loving brother, Jesus.

You can make the argument that there's no such thing as the past. Nobody lived in the past. They lived in the present. It is their present, not our present, and they don't know how it's going to come out. They weren't just like we are because they lived in that very different time. You can't understand them if you don't understand how they perceived reality.

' The Critic '...
It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; . . . who at best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly..........................

' Molecules '...
If you are having the experience of anxiety, your body is making adrenaline and cortisone, if you are having the experience of tranquility, your body starts making valium, if you are having the experience of exhilaration and joy, your body makes interleukins and interferons which are powerful anti-cancer drugs. So, your body is constantly converting your experiences into molecules.

' Imperfections '...
We must be willing to be completely ordinary people, which means accepting ourselves as we are without trying to become greater, purer, more spiritual, more insightful. If we can accept our imperfections as they are, quite ordinarily, then we can use them as part of the path. But if we try to get rid of our imperfections, then they will be enemies, obstacles on the road to our ‘self-improvement’.

' Emptiness '...
The capacity of the mind is broad and huge, like the vast sky. Do not sit with a mind fixed on emptiness. If you do, you will fall into a neutral kind of emptiness. Emptiness includes the sun, moon, stars, and planets, the great earth, mountains and rivers, all trees and grasses, bad people and good people, bad things and good things, heaven and hell; they are all in the midst of emptiness. The emptiness of human nature is also like this.

' Karma '...
Unless you see your nature, you shouldn't go around criticizing the goodness of others. There's no advantage in deceiving yourself. Good and bad are distinct. Cause and effect are clear. But fools don't believe and fall straight into a hell of endless darkness without even knowing it. What keeps them from believing is the heaviness of their karma. They're like blind people who don't believe there's such a thing as light. Even if you explain it to them, they still don't believe, because they're blind. How can they possibly distinguish light?

' Natural Rights '...
Those rights, then, which God and nature have established, and are therefore called natural rights, such as life and liberty, need not the aid of human laws to be more effectually invested in every man than they are; neither do they receive any additional strength when declared by the municipal laws to be inviolate. On the contrary, no human legislature has power to abridge or destroy them, unless the owner shall himself commit some act that amounts to a forfeiture.

' Conscience '...
Unless I am convicted by Scripture and plain reason-I do not accept the authority of popes and councils, for they have contradicted each other-my conscience is captive to the Word of God. I cannot and will not recant anything, for to go against conscience is neither right nor safe. Here I stand, I cannot do otherwise. God help me. Amen.

' The Nazarine Speaks '...
By John Smallman...........................
As you await humanity’s collective awakening with eager anticipation, practice being in the ‘now’ as frequently as you can during the day and allow yourselves to enjoy the moments as they unfold. Doing this is very healing for you if you are dealing with trauma that you are in the process of releasing. You have all suffered trauma, and for each of you it has been personal, very intense, and has probably stirred up old emotions you had forgotten or did not even know were within you. Do not attempt to diminish those feelings by comparing what you have experienced to the experiences of other far more horrifically traumatized people you know of or who you have read about. YOUR experience, whatever may have caused it, was intensely traumatic for YOU, so honor and congratulate yourself for dealing with it as you did, knowing and acknowledging that how you dealt with it while it was ongoing was perfect for You. When you do that you will feel great relief as your hurt inner child finally realizes that it is being seen, heard, and, most of all, loved. Your nature, as you well know, is Love. But the majority of you, while in human form, have never received that Love. Yes, your care-givers when you were small, friends, intimate partners, even your own children, have said they love you, and have, to the best of their abilities, offered you love, but it has nearly always been conditional! Love is NEVER conditional. As humans in form only a tiny minority of you have truly received love from someone else.
To undo your traumas it is necessary to honor and offer love to yourselves. This is an essential aspect of your awakening process. Many of you now are finding unrecognized or long forgotten ‘stuff’ arising into your awareness in these unsettling times, it is mostly not a very pleasant experience, and the temptation may likely arise to shut it down because “I don’t have time for this now.” In the moment that it arises this is often the case, BUT you need to make time for it, sooner rather than later, so that any long held but buried or hidden angers and resentments may be seen, forgiven, and released. Then Love will fill your hearts and empower you in ways that will likely amaze you.
You can do this, you need to do this, so call on me or on anyone in the non-physical heavenly realms to be with you and comfort you as you just allow yourselves to be – letting go of ALL self-judgment in this moment – and reveal to yourselves the personal blockages to your beingness to which you are clinging. Any sense of personal “unworthiness” or “not being good enough” that you claim to be valid is not, it simply gives you an excuse to believe that “you are who you are,” and that change is impossible, and even undesirable; you are comfortable with that apparent state of being because you have become so accustomed to it. Well now is the time to start letting it go as you start to honor yourselves completely as the perfect divine beings that you are, and have always been since the moment of your most wondrous creation. You need to start honoring yourselves, after all God does, so for you not to do so is insane.
Your awakening is guaranteed because to sleep forever is impossible. When you are not feeling too well when you wake up in the morning, you may sometimes turn over and go back to sleep in order not to have to face the day. But you do eventually wake up and find that you have no option but to face and deal with the problems and anxieties of the day. You cannot remain asleep indefinitely because your bodies insist on waking up. But when you awaken from the unreality that is the experience of life in form, when you truly and really AWAKEN you will be in JOY! And you are, NOW, in the process of doing that.
Obviously, in your awareness of all the conflicts and other divisive issues now plaguing the world, it is extremely difficult for you to imagine a life of endless joy. However, if you choose to avoid paying undue attention to MSM and social media, you can very easily find joyful moments throughout your day – the smile of a child or a loved one, beautiful autumn colors, an unexpected message from a friend, even that first sip of your morning coffee or tea – because many do occur. You can become aware of them if you will practice being mindful, and then you can temporarily succeed in stopping all the unnecessary mental chatter that only adds to any anxieties that may be disturbing your peace of mind, and you will feel at least for a moment that life is worth living in spite of the problems with which it so often seems to present you. Then use that moment to remind yourselves of your true nature, One with Mother/Father/God, from Whose Presence you have never departed, and of which you are now in the process of once more becoming fully aware.
Your awakening is divinely assured and guaranteed. It is inevitable and unavoidable. Go within daily to your holy inner sanctuaries and remind yourselves of this most wondrous truth, then allow yourselves to feel the certainty of it. This will boost your energy, strengthening your intent to be only loving, to be true to your true real nature, and reinforce the Power of the Love that you most definitely are, thus beautifully assisting you to forge ahead in your awakening process. Others with whom you interact during the day will feel the peace and loving energy that enfolds you and spreads out from you in a massive sharing, thus assisting all with whom you interact in any manner at all to move forward on their own paths to awakening.
You chose to be incarnate now to do this beautiful work, for yourselves and for humanity, and your success is divinely assured. So celebrate in the deep knowing that all is well, that all is unfolding as divinely planned, and that you, just as you are right now, are an absolutely essential and irreplaceable participant in this holy and miraculous transformation.
Your loving brother, Jesus.
' Three Things '...
You only have control over three things in your life - the thoughts you think, the images you visualize, and the actions you take (your behavior). How you use these three things determines everything you experience. If you don't like what you are producing and experiencing, you have to change your responses.

' What do people Want ?'...
When you understand that what most people really, really want is simply to feel good about themselves, and when you realize that with just a few well-chosen words you can help virtually anyone on the planet instantly achieve this, you begin to realize just how simple life is, how powerful you are, and that love is the key.

' Resistence '...
You might say, 'What a dreadful day', without realizing that the cold, the wind, and the rain or whatever condition you react to are not dreadful. They are as they are. What is dreadful is your reaction, your inner resistance to it, and the emotion that is created by that resistance.

' We Are Asleep '...
Impossible to believe as we stare at this screen before us..
We awoke this morning from the nothingness and into the illusion of materiality..
All of this time, we firmly believe that we are awake in reality..
We pass through this day wondering why we are here..
Perhaps, instead of crying at our unknowing,
We should laugh at our ignorance..
As all of the Mystic Masters have told you,
" The answer is within"..
Within what?..
The Heart and Mind..
This is why you are here..
The mind will lead you to the 'Door'
The heart will open the 'Door'..
As the Nazarene said;
" Knock and the Door shall be opened"..
The mind is the ego that desires to exist but still seeks freedom..
The Heart is Divine Consciousness that offers freedom to the mind..
The mind is troubled by this decision between annihilation of it's existence and
the freedom that is promised by this sacrifice of existence..
Reality is beyond the mind (ego),
To view Reality, the mind (ego) must dissolve into nothingness...
Courage is the name given to those that fear and yet still proceed..

' Words from the Nazarene '...
We, your individual support teams in the non-physical realms, are with each one of you constantly, in every moment, offering you love and comfort if you choose to open yourselves to receive it from us. You are never alone, even when it perhaps feels to you that you are alone, or even abandoned. You have all experienced trauma during infancy and childhood, which has often left enormous emotional scars. Those traumas have passed, they are over, but when you revisit them – retelling yourselves your (hi)stories – you bring the resultant emotions into the present with almost as much intensity as you felt at the time that they happened; you bring the dead back to life! Mostly, of course, you had to shut them down back then, bury them below the level of your conscious awareness because it was not safe, and far too emotionally painful for you to express them. Now, if you are triggered and unexpected and powerful emotions arise, instead of attempting either to once again shut them down, block them – because you perhaps believe that they are a sign of weakness, inadequacy, or unworthiness! – or identify and analyze them, just let yourselves feel them and allow them to flow. This greatly assists you in releasing them, and in releasing and reducing the almost volcanically explosive emotional pressure within yourselves, enormous pressure that you have blocked from your awareness, and then you will find yourselves relaxing – abdomen, shoulders, throat and neck – it will feel as though a great weight has been lifted off you – a a a . . . aah! What a wonderful relief.
This is why your daily visits to your holy inner sanctuaries are so important. When you are in that deep inner space feelings and emotions will arise. Do not shut them down – perhaps irritably – as egoic distractions from your intent to be quiet, at peace. You are in a safe place, alone and undisturbed by others, so let them flow – they need to – and within a few moments they will have passed, then you can settle back into your quiet space, but probably more deeply and peacefully. You may well now feel as if you would like to rest there forever, and although you cannot do that, you can take that sense of peace with you as you return to your daily human activities.
You are God’s beloved children, and His wish for you is that you live in peace and joy even while you continue – for a brief moment – to engage fully with the unreal world of form. That is why He is always with you, waiting for you to invite Him into your hearts so that you can access the Love that you are as you rest within His eternal Presence, and release your hold on any totally invalid sense of of “not being good enough, being too sinful, or being too unworthy,” of Him. You are eternally completely and utterly, in fact infinitely worthy of the Love that is Mother/Father/God within Whom you have your existence without even the briefest instant of being separated from that, your natural state.
The Love in which God holds you in every moment of your existence is way beyond any attempt to describe It in terms that you in your human forms could possibly conceive of. You are One with It in every moment because Love is the life force, the infinite power that eternally sustains all of Creation. Creation is the ongoing expansion of Love as It extends Itself in an endless outpouring of Itself for the infinite joy of All. Your joy and amazement in the experience of your awakening will further expand the magnificence and glory that is Mother/Father/God. You have no idea of the wonder that awaits you in that most brilliant moment of NOW!
God is infinite Love ever-expanding that state! You all know this, deep within yourselves, because you are One with It. It is that deep inner knowing, of which you are almost completely unaware, that assists you as you choose to move forwards, even dealing with what in human terms seem like insuperable pain and difficulties. You are moving powerfully and rapidly towards your awakening, so do not allow any doubts that may arise, due to the news of worldwide chaos and suffering with which your MSM are constantly presenting you, to distract you from your holy path forward. As you move forward the Love that you are, and which you are expressing and sharing with all of humanity in every moment, is embracing myriad others and providing them with the motivation and energy to let go of distraction and focus on their own awakening.
None of you are presently in human form by accident. You all chose to be on Earth at this moment in her evolution to participate in the most glorious event that has ever occurred on planet Earth. You are precisely where you are meant to be, doing and being exactly what you intended, and which you continue to intend in this very moment. You are awakening and you are awakening humanity. The honor and recognition that awaits you is miraculous, phenomenal, and colossal, in fact it is Superhuman, because you are all totally beyond being human, You are Divine. When you remember that and return from the game of separation to Reality, the enormity of the celebrations to welcome your Homecoming will bring you once more to your natural state of eternal and unsurpassable bliss.

' The Bells Toll '...
No man is an island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main. If a clod be washed away by the sea, Europe is the less, as well as if a promontory were, as well as if a manor of thy friend's or of thine own were: any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind, and therefore never send to know for whom the bells tolls; it tolls for thee.

' Being Your Self '...
To be nobody-but-yourself - in a world which is doing its best, night and day, to make you everybody else - means to fight the hardest battle which any human being can fight; and never stop fighting.

' The Face of Source '...
Do not praise your own faith exclusively so that you disbelieve all the rest. If you do this you will miss much good. Nay, you will miss the whole truth of the matter. God, the Omniscient and the Omnipresent, cannot be confined to any one creed, for He says in the Quran, wheresoever ye turn, there is the face of Allah. Everybody praises what he knows. His God is his own creature, and in praising it, he praises himself. Which he would not do if he were just, for his dislike is based on ignorance.

The "end of a world" never is and never can be anything but the end of an illusion

' Love = Personal Advancement '...
For our personal advancement in virtue and truth one quality is sufficient, namely, love; to advance humanity there must be two, love and intelligence; to accomplish the Great Work there must be three love, intelligence, and activity. And yet love is ever the root and the source.

The person who does not believe in miracles surely makes it certain that he or she will never take part in one.

' The Pathless Woods '...
There is pleasure in the pathless woods, there is rapture in the lonely shore, there is society where none intrudes, by the deep sea, and music in its roar; I love not Man the less, but Nature more.

' Enlightenment '...
Meditation is a way of slowing down so as to descend into the depths of yourself in the present moment, where God lies waiting to grant you a deep experience of your eternal oneness with God.

' The Beginning of Love '...
The beginning of love is to let those we love be perfectly themselves, and not to twist them to fit our own image. Otherwise we love only the reflection of ourselves we find in them.

' The Gospel of Thomas '...
(9) Jesus said, "Now the sower went out, took a handful (of seeds), and scattered them.
Some fell on the road; the birds came and gathered them up. Others fell on the rock, did
not take root in the soil, and did not produce ears. And others fell on thorns; they choked
the seed(s) and worms ate them. And others fell on the good soil and it produced good
fruit: it bore sixty per measure and a hundred and twenty per measure."
(10) Jesus said, "I have cast fire upon the world, and see, I am guarding it until it blazes."
(11) Jesus said, "This heaven will pass away, and the one above it will pass away. The
dead are not alive, and the living will not die. In the days when you consumed what is
dead, you made it what is alive. When you come to dwell in the light, what will you do?
On the day when you were one you became two. But when you become two, what will
you do?"
(12) The disciples said to Jesus, "We know that you will depart from us. Who is to be our
leader?"
Jesus said to them, "Wherever you are, you are to go to James the righteous, for whose
sake heaven and earth came into being."
(13) Jesus said to his disciples, "Compare me to someone and tell me whom I am like."
Simon Peter said to him, "You are like a righteous angel."
Matthew said to him, "You are like a wise philosopher."
Thomas said to him, "Master, my mouth is wholly incapable of saying whom you are
like."
Jesus said, "I am not your master. Because you have drunk, you have become intoxicated
from the bubbling spring which I have measured out."
And he took him and withdrew and told him three things. When Thomas returned to his
companions, they asked him, "What did Jesus say to you?"
Thomas said to them, "If I tell you one of the things which he told me, you will pick up
stones and throw them at me; a fire will come out of the stones and burn you up."
(14) Jesus said to them, "If you fast, you will give rise to sin for yourselves; and if you
pray, you will be condemned; and if you give alms, you will do harm to your spirits.
When you go into any land and walk about in the districts, if they receive you, eat what
they will set before you, and heal the sick among them. For what goes into your mouth
will not defile you, but that which issues from your mouth - it is that which will defile
you."
(15) Jesus said, "When you see one who was not born of woman, prostrate yourselves on
your faces and worship him. That one is your father."
(16) Jesus said, "Men think, perhaps, that it is peace which I have come to cast upon the
world. They do not know that it is dissension which I have come to cast upon the earth:
fire, sword, and war. For there will be five in a house: three will be against two, and two
against three, the father against the son, and the son against the father. And they will
stand solitary."
2
(17) Jesus said, "I shall give you what no eye has seen and what no ear has heard and
what no hand has touched and what has never occurred to the human mind."
(18) The disciples said to Jesus, "Tell us how our end will be."
Jesus said, "Have you discovered, then, the beginning, that you look for the end? For
where the beginning is, there will the end be. Blessed is he who will take his place in the
beginning; he will know the end and will not experience death."
(19) Jesus said, "Blessed is he who came into being before he came into being. If you
become my disciples and listen to my words, these stones will minister to you. For there
are five trees for you in Paradise which remain undisturbed summer and winter and
whose leaves do not fall. Whoever becomes acquainted with them will not experience
death."
(20) The disciples said to Jesus, "Tell us what the kingdom of heaven is like."
He said to them, "It is like a mustard seed. It is the smallest of all seeds. But when it falls
on tilled soil, it produces a great plant and becomes a shelter for birds of the sky."
(21) Mary said to Jesus, "Whom are your disciples like?"
He said, "They are like children who have settled in a field which is not theirs. When the
owners of the field come, they will say, 'Let us have back our field.' They (will) undress
in their presence in order to let them have back their field and to give it back to them.
Therefore I say, if the owner of a house knows that the thief is coming, he will begin his
vigil before he comes and will not let him dig through into his house of his domain to
carry away his goods. You, then, be on your guard against the world. Arm yourselves
with great strength lest the robbers find a way to come to you, for the difficulty which
you expect will (surely) materialize. Let there be among you a man of understanding.
When the grain ripened, he came quickly with his sickle in his hand and reaped it.
Whoever has ears to hear, let him hear."
(22) Jesus saw infants being suckled. He said to his disciples, "These infants being
suckled are like those who enter the kingdom."
They said to him, "Shall we then, as children, enter the kingdom?"
Jesus said to them, "When you make the two one, and when you make the inside like the
outside and the outside like the inside, and the above like the below, and when you make
the male and the female one and the same, so that the male not be male nor the female;
and when you fashion eyes in the place of an eye, and a hand in place of a hand, and a
foot in place of a foot, and a likeness in place of a likeness; then will you enter the
kingdom."
(23) Jesus said, "I shall choose you, one out of a thousand, and two out of ten thousand,
and they shall stand as a single one."
(24) His disciples said to him, "Show us the place where you are, since it is necessary for
us to seek it."
3
He said to them, "Whoever has ears, let him hear. There is light within a man of light,
and he lights up the whole world. If he does not shine, he is darkness."
(25) Jesus said, "Love your brother like your soul, guard him like the pupil of your eye."
(26) Jesus said, "You see the mote in your brother's eye, but you do not see the beam in
your own eye. When you cast the beam out of your own eye, then you will see clearly to
cast the mote from your brother's eye."
(27) "If you do not fast as regards the world, you will not find the kingdom.
If you do not observe the Sabbath as a Sabbath, you will not see the father."
(28) Jesus said, "I took my place in the midst of the world, and I appeared to them in
flesh. I found all of them intoxicated; I found none of them thirsty. And my soul became
afflicted for the sons of men, because they are blind in their hearts and do not have sight;
for empty they came into the world, and empty too they seek to leave the world. But for
the moment they are intoxicated. When they shake off their wine, then they will repent."
(29) Jesus said, "If the flesh came into being because of spirit, it is a wonder. But if spirit
came into being because of the body, it is a wonder of wonders. Indeed, I am amazed at
how this great wealth has made its home in this poverty."
(30) Jesus said, "Where there are three gods, they are gods. Where there are two or one, I
am with him."
(31) Jesus said, "No prophet is accepted in his own village; no physician heals those who
know him."
(32) Jesus said, "A city being built on a high mountain and fortified cannot fall, nor can it
be hidden."
(33) Jesus said, "Preach from your housetops that which you will hear in your ear. For no
one lights a lamp and puts it under a bushel, nor does he put it in a hidden place, but
rather he sets it on a lamp stand so that everyone who enters and leaves will see its light."
(34) Jesus said, "If a blind man leads a blind man, they will both fall into a pit."
(35) Jesus said, "It is not possible for anyone to enter the house of a strong man and take
it by force unless he binds his hands; then he will (be able to) ransack his house."
(36) Jesus said, "Do not be concerned from morning until evening and from evening until
morning about what you will wear."
(37) His disciples said, "When will you become revealed to us and when shall we see
you?"
4
Jesus said, "When you disrobe without being ashamed and take up your garments and
place them under your feet like little children and tread on them, then will you see the son
of the living one, and you will not be afraid"
(38) Jesus said, "Many times have you desired to hear these words which I am saying to
you, and you have no one else to hear them from. There will be days when you will look
for me and will not find me."
(39) Jesus said, "The pharisees and the scribes have taken the keys of knowledge (gnosis)
and hidden them. They themselves have not entered, nor have they allowed to enter those
who wish to. You, however, be as wise as serpents and as innocent as doves."
(40) Jesus said, "A grapevine has been planted outside of the father, but being unsound, it
will be pulled up by its roots and destroyed."
(41) Jesus said, "Whoever has something in his hand will receive more, and whoever has
nothing will be deprived of even the little he has."
(42) Jesus said, "Become passers-by."
(43) His disciples said to him, "Who are you, that you should say these things to us?"
"You do not realize who I am from what I say to you, but you have
become like the Jews, for they (either) love the tree and hate its fruit (or) love the fruit
and hate the tree."
(44) Jesus said, "Whoever blasphemes against the father will be forgiven, and whoever
blasphemes against the son will be forgiven, but whoever blasphemes against the holy
spirit will not be forgiven either on earth or in heaven."
(45) Jesus said, "Grapes are not harvested from thorns, nor are figs gathered from thistles,
for they do not produce fruit. A good man brings forth good from his storehouse; an evil
man brings forth evil things from his evil storehouse, which is in his heart, and says evil
things. For out of the abundance of the heart he brings forth evil things."
(46) Jesus said, "Among those born of women, from Adam until John the Baptist, there is
no one so superior to John the Baptist that his eyes should not be lowered (before him).
Yet I have said, whichever one of you comes to be a child will be acquainted with the
kingdom and will become superior to John."
(47) Jesus said, "It is impossible for a man to mount two horses or to stretch two bows.
And it is impossible for a servant to serve two masters; otherwise, he will honor the one
and treat the other contemptuously. No man drinks old wine and immediately desires to
drink new wine. And new wine is not put into old wineskins, lest they burst; nor is old
wine put into a new wineskin, lest it spoil it. An old patch is not sewn onto a new
garment, because a tear would result."
5
(48) Jesus said, "If two make peace with each other in this one house, they will say to the
mountain, 'Move Away,' and it will move away."
(49) Jesus said, "Blessed are the solitary and elect, for you will find the kingdom. For you
are from it, and to it you will return."
(50) Jesus said, "If they say to you, 'Where did you come from?', say to them, 'We came
from the light, the place where the light came into being on its own accord and
established itself and became manifest through their image.' If they say to you, 'Is it
you?', say, 'We are its children, we are the elect of the living father.' If they ask you,
'What is the sign of your father in you?', say to them, 'It is movement and repose.'"
(51) His disciples said to him, "When will the repose of the dead come about, and when
will the new world come?"
He said to them, "What you look forward to has already come, but you do not recognize
it."
(52) His disciples said to him, "Twenty-four prophets spoke in Israel, and all of them
spoke in you."
He said to them, "You have omitted the one living in your presence and have spoken
(only) of the dead."
(53) His disciples said to him, "Is circumcision beneficial or not?"
He said to them, "If it were beneficial, their father would beget them already circumcised
from their mother. Rather, the true circumcision in spirit has become completely
profitable."
(54) Jesus said, "Blessed are the poor, for yours is the kingdom of heaven."
(55) Jesus said, "Whoever does not hate his father and his mother cannot become a
disciple to me. And whoever does not hate his brothers and sisters and take up his cross
in my way will not be worthy of me."
(56) Jesus said, "Whoever has come to understand the world has found (only) a corpse,
and whoever has found a corpse is superior to the world."
(57) Jesus said, "The kingdom of the father is like a man who had good seed. His enemy
came by night and sowed weeds among the good seed. The man did not allow them to
pull up the weeds; he said to them, 'I am afraid that you will go intending to pull up the
weeds and pull up the wheat along with them.' For on the day of the harvest the weeds
will be plainly visible, and they will be pulled up and burned."
(58) Jesus said, "Blessed is the man who has suffered and found life."
6
(59) Jesus said, "Take heed of the living one while you are alive, lest you die and seek to
see him and be unable to do so."
(60) a Samaritan carrying a lamb on his way to Judea. He said to his
disciples, "That man is round about the lamb."
They said to him, "So that he may kill it and eat it."
He said to them, "While it is alive, he will not eat it, but only when he has killed it and it
has become a corpse."
They said to him, "He cannot do so otherwise."
He said to them, "You too, look for a place for yourself within repose, lest you become a
corpse and be eaten."
(61) Jesus said, "Two will rest on a bed: the one will die, and the other will live."
Salome said, "Who are you, man, that you ... have come up on my couch and eaten from
my table?"
Jesus said to her, "I am he who exists from the undivided. I was given some of the things
of my father."
<...> "I am your disciple."
<...> "Therefore I say, if he is destroyed, he will be filled with light, but if he is divided,
he will be filled with darkness."
(62) Jesus said, "It is to those who are worthy of my mysteries that I tell my mysteries.
Do not let your left (hand) know what your right (hand) is doing."
(63) Jesus said, "There was a rich man who had much money. He said, 'I shall put my
money to use so that I may sow, reap, plant, and fill my storehouse with produce, with
the result that I shall lack nothing.' Such were his intentions, but that same night he died.
Let him who has ears hear."
(64) Jesus said, "A man had received visitors. And when he had prepared the dinner, he
sent his servant to invite the guests.
He went to the first one and said to him, 'My master invites you.' He said, 'I have claims
against some merchants. They are coming to me this evening. I must go and give them
my orders. I ask to be excused from the dinner.'
He went to another and said to him, 'My master has invited you.' He said to him, 'I have
just bought a house and am required for the day. I shall not have any spare time.'
He went to another and said to him, 'My master invites you.' He said to him, 'My friend is
going to get married, and I am to prepare the banquet. I shall not be able to come. I ask to
be excused from the dinner.'
He went to another and said to him, 'My master invites you.' He said to him, 'I have just
bought a farm, and I am on my way to collect the rent. I shall not be able to come. I ask
to be excused.'
The servant returned and said to his master, 'Those whom you invited to the dinner have
asked to be excused.' The master said to his servant, 'Go outside to the streets and bring
back those whom you happen to meet, so that they may dine.' Businessmen and
merchants will not enter the places of my father."
7
(65) He said, "There was a good man who owned a vineyard. He leased it to tenant
farmers so that they might work it and he might collect the produce from them. He sent
his servant so that the tenants might give him the produce of the vineyard. They seized
his servant and beat him, all but killing him. The servant went back and told his master.
The master said, 'Perhaps he did not recognize them.' He sent another servant. The
tenants beat this one as well. Then the owner sent his son and said, 'Perhaps they will
show respect to my son.' Because the tenants knew that it was he who was the heir to the
vineyard, they seized him and killed him. Let him who has ears hear."
(66) Jesus said, "Show me the stone which the builders have rejected. That one is the
cornerstone."
(67) Jesus said, "If one who knows the all still feels a personal deficiency, he is
completely deficient."
(68) Jesus said, "Blessed are you when you are hated and persecuted. Wherever you have
been persecuted they will find no place."
(69) Jesus said, "Blessed are they who have been persecuted within themselves. It is they
who have truly come to know the father. Blessed are the hungry, for the belly of him who
desires will be filled."
(70) Jesus said, "That which you have will save you if you bring it forth from yourselves.
That which you do not have within you will kill you if you do not have it within you."
(71) Jesus said, "I shall destroy this house, and no one will be able to build it [...]."
(72) A man said to him, "Tell my brothers to divide my father's possessions with me."
He said to him, "O man, who has made me a divider?"
He turned to his disciples and said to them, "I am not a divider, am I?"
(73) Jesus said, "The harvest is great but the laborers are few. Beseech the Lord,
therefore, to send out laborers to the harvest."
(74) He said, "O Lord, there are many around the drinking trough, but there is nothing in
the cistern."
(75) Jesus said, "Many are standing at the door, but it is the solitary who will enter the
bridal chamber."
(76) Jesus said, "The kingdom of the father is like a merchant who had a consignment of
merchandise and who discovered a pearl. That merchant was shrewd. He sold the
merchandise and bought the pearl alone for himself. You too, seek his unfailing and
enduring treasure where no moth comes near to devour and no worm destroys."
8
(77) Jesus said, "It is I who am the light which is above them all. It is I who am the all.
From me did the all come forth, and unto me did the all extend. Split a piece of wood,
and I am there. Lift up the stone, and you will find me there."
(78) Jesus said, "Why have you come out into the desert? To see a reed shaken by the
wind? And to see a man clothed in fine garments like your kings and your great men?
Upon them are the fine garments, and they are unable to discern the truth."
(79) A woman from the crowd said to him, "Blessed are the womb which bore you and
the breasts which nourished you."
He said to her, "Blessed are those who have heard the word of the father and have truly
kept it. For there will be days when you will say, 'Blessed are the womb which has not
conceived and the breasts which have not given milk.'"
(80) Jesus said, "He who has recognized the world has found the body, but he who has
found the body is superior to the world."
(81) Jesus said, "Let him who has grown rich be king, and let him who possesses power
renounce it."
(82) Jesus said, "He who is near me is near the fire, and he who is far from me is far from
the kingdom."
(83) Jesus said, "The images are manifest to man, but the light in them remains concealed
in the image of the light of the father. He will become manifest, but his image will remain
concealed by his light."
(84) Jesus said, "When you see your likeness, you rejoice. But when you see your images
which came into being before you, and which neither die not become manifest, how
much you will have to bear!"
(85) Jesus said, "Adam came into being from a great power and a great wealth, but he did
not become worthy of you. For had he been worthy, he would not have experienced
death."
(86) Jesus said, "The foxes have their holes and the birds have their nests, but the son of
man has no place to lay his head and rest."
(87) Jesus said, "Wretched is the body that is dependant upon a body, and wretched is the
soul that is dependent on these two."
(88) Jesus said, "The angels and the prophets will come to you and give to you those
things you (already) have. And you too, give them those things which you have, and say
to yourselves, 'When will they come and take what is theirs?'"
' Presence '...
All negativity is caused by an accumulation of psychological time and denial of the present. Unease, anxiety, tension, stress, worry - all forms of fear - are caused by too much future, and not enough presence. Guilt, regret, resentment, grievances, sadness, bitterness, and all forms of nonforgiveness are caused by too much past, and not enough presence.

And therein lies my fulfillment. That's when the music starts to happen.

' Autumn '...
I like spring, but it is too young. I like summer, but it is too proud. So I like best of all autumn, because its leaves are a little yellow, its tone mellower, its colours richer, and it is tinged a little with sorrow and a premonition of death. Its golden richness speaks not of the innocence of spring, nor of the power of summer, but of the mellowness and kindly wisdom of approaching age. It knows the limitations of life and is content.

When we create peace and harmony and balance in our mind, we will find it in our lives.

' Silence - Jean Klein '...
Silence is our real nature. What we are fundamentally,
is only silence. Silence is free from beginning and
end. It was before the beginning of all things. It is
causeless. Its greatness lies in the fact that it
simply is. In silence all objects have their home
ground. It is the light that gives objects their shape
and form. All movement, all activity is harmonized by
silence.Silence has no opposite in noise. It is beyond
positive and negative. Silence dissolves all objects.
It is not related to any counterpart which belongs to
the mind. Silence has nothing to do with mind. It
cannot be defined but it can be felt directly because
it is our nearness. Silence is freedom without
restriction or center. It is our wholeness, neither
inside nor outside the body. Silence is joyful, not
pleasurable. It is not psychological. It is feeling
without a feeler. Silence needs no intermediary.
Silence is holy. It is healing. There is no fear in
silence. Silence is autonomous like love and beauty.
It is untouched by time. Silence is meditation, free
from any intention, free from anyone who meditates.
Silence is the absence of oneself. Or rather, silence
is the absence of absence. Sound which comes from
silence is music. All activity is creative when it
comes from silence. It is constantly a new beginning.
Silence precedes speech and poetry and music and all
art. Silence is the home ground of all creative
activity. What is truly creative is the word, is
Truth. Silence is the word. Silence is Truth.The one
established in silence lives in constant offering, in
prayer without asking, in thankfulness, in continual
love. "

' Condemn No-One '...
Condemn no man for not thinking as you think. Let every one enjoy the full and free liberty of thinking for himself. Let every man use his own judgment, since every man must give an account of himself to God. Abhor every approach, in any kind or degree, to the spirit of persecution, if you cannot reason nor persuade a man into the truth, never attempt to force a man into it. If love will not compel him to come, leave him to God, the judge of all.
.......................John Wesley
' Liberty '...

............................Oscar Wilde
' Karma '...
Karma is the universal law of cause and effect. You reap what you sow. You get what you earn. You are what you eat. If you give love, you get love. Revenge returns itself upon the avenger.

............... Saint Teresa of Avila

The truth is like a lion; you don’t have to defend it. Let it loose; it will defend itself.
......................Saint Augustine

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.

' Your Reaction '...
You might say, 'What a dreadful day', without realizing that the cold, the wind, and the rain or whatever condition you react to are not dreadful. They are as they are. What is dreadful is your reaction, your inner resistance to it, and the emotion that is created by that resistance.
............................Eckhart Tolle
' Identification '...
Whenever encountering a troublesome person, do not identify him as being cruel or stupid or rude or anything else like that. Instead, see him as a frightened person.
...................................Vernon Howard
' Knowing Nothing '...
They only are wise who know that they know nothing.
......................Thomas Carlyle
' The Worship of State '...
The worship of the state is the worship of force. There is no more dangerous menace to civilization than a government of incompetent, corrupt, or vile men. The worst evils which mankind ever had to endure were inflicted by governments.
................................Ludwig von Mises
' Corruption '...
When you see that trading is done, not by consent, but by compulsion - when you see that in order to produce, you need to obtain permission from men who produce nothing - when you see that money is flowing to those who deal, not in goods, but in favors - when you see that men get richer by graft and by pull than by work, and your laws don't protect you against them, but protect them against you - when you see corruption being rewarded and honesty becoming a self-sacrifice - you may know that your society is doomed.
..............................Ayn Rand
' A Life '...
We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give.
.................Winston Churchill
