' Spiritual Initiation '...
We take spiritual initiation when we become conscious of the Divine within us, and thereby contact the Divine without us.

Never run from what you don't understand, as it will be waiting for you every time you come to a stop.
........................Guy Finley
' Human History '...
Throughout human history, as our species has faced the frightening, terrorizing fact that we do not know who we are, or where we are going in this ocean of chaos, it has been the authorities - the political, the religious, the educational authorities - who attempted to comfort us by giving us order, rules, regulations, informing - forming in our minds - their view of reality. To think for yourself you must question authority and learn how to put yourself in a state of vulnerable open-mindedness, chaotic, confused vulnerability to inform yourself.
.......................Timothy Leary
' Loving Servitude '...
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.

' Faith for Healing '...
Some people wonder why they can't have faith for healing. They feed their body three hot meals a day, and their spirit one cold snack a week.

' Entering Enlightenment '...
I can say, through the power of the Spirit that wherever God can get a people that will come together in one accord and one mind in the Word of God, the baptism of the Holy Ghost will fall upon them, like as at Cornelius' house.

' Finding Humility '...
Wherever you find real love, you will also find humility. Remember something: humility is not a weak and timid quality. Too often we feel that humility is a sign of weakness. This is not so. It is the sign of strength and security.

' Time '...
It is somewhat strange to enter an existence without this painful yoke of Time... It is such a relief to return to Light and Love... But, most of us are captured within the frequencies and holograms of Dreams... These Dreams controlled by elite controllers for their personal power and fortune... The elite tell you that there are many Dimensions that you must walk and many lives to live, to finally achieve the freedom from the Holograms... Reincarnation is merely,,, recharging the negative battery that keeps them alive within the Dreams.... But,,, these Dimensions can be crossed over by Surrendering all Desires of Dreaming.. The ego must cease to entertain all Desires especially the Desire of separation from Source...... Bam... You are back Home...........thomas

' Democracy '...
Everybody counts in applying democracy. And there will never be a true democracy until every responsible and law-abiding adult in it, without regard to race, sex, color or creed has his or her own inalienable and unpurchasable voice in government.

' When We Fear '...
The moment we begin to fear the opinions of others and hesitate to tell the truth that is in us, and from motives of policy are silent when we should speak, the divine floods of light and life no longer flow into our souls.
...........Elizabeth Cady Stanton
' Liberty '...
Liberty is meaningless where the right to utter one's thoughts and opinions has ceased to exist. That, of all rights, is the dread of tyrants. It is the right which they first of all strike down. They know its power. Thrones, dominions, principalities, and powers, founded in injustice and wrong, are sure to tremble, if men are allowed to reason... Equally clear is the right to hear. To suppress free speech is a double wrong. It violates the rights of the hearer as well as those of the speaker.

' Where is Heaven ? '...
Heaven is not located on high, but where the good of love is, and this resides within a person, wherever he or she might be.
..........Emanuel Swedenborg
' Thought Creates '...
Thought creates things by slicing up reality into small bits that it can easily grasp. Thus when you are think-ing you are thing-ing. Thought does not report things, it distorts reality to create things, and as Bergson noted, "In so doing it allows what is the very essence of the real to escape." Thus to the extent we actually imagine a world of discrete and separate things, conceptions have become perceptions, and we have in this manner populated our universe with nothing but ghosts.

Nations are not ruined by one act of violence, but gradually and in an almost imperceptible manner by the depreciation of their circulating currency, through its excessive quantity.

' The Gospel of Thomas '...
Gospel of Thomas
(Translated by Thomas O. Lambdin)
These are the secret sayings which the living Jesus spoke and which Didymos Judas
Thomas wrote down.
(1) And he said, "Whoever finds the interpretation of these sayings will not experience
death."
(2) Jesus said, "Let him who seeks continue seeking until he finds. When he finds, he will
become troubled. When he becomes troubled, he will be astonished, and he will rule over
the All."
(3) Jesus said, "If those who lead you say to you, 'See, the kingdom is in the sky,' then the
birds of the sky will precede you. If they say to you, 'It is in the sea,' then the fish will
precede you. Rather, the kingdom is inside of you, and it is outside of you. When you
come to know yourselves, then you will become known, and you will realize that it is you
who are the sons of the living father. But if you will not know yourselves, you dwell in
poverty and it is you who are that poverty."
(4) Jesus said, "The man old in days will not hesitate to ask a small child seven days old
about the place of life, and he will live. For many who are first will become last, and they
will become one and the same."
(5) Jesus said, "Recognize what is in your sight, and that which is hidden from you will
become plain to you. For there is nothing hidden which will not become manifest."
(6) His disciples questioned him and said to him, "Do you want us to fast? How shall we
pray? Shall we give alms? What diet shall we observe?"
Jesus said, "Do not tell lies, and do not do what you hate, for all things are plain in the
sight of heaven. For nothing hidden will not become manifest, and nothing covered will
remain without being uncovered."
(7) Jesus said, "Blessed is the lion which becomes man when consumed by man; and
cursed is the man whom the lion consumes, and the lion becomes man."
(8) And he said, "The man is like a wise fisherman who cast his net into the sea and drew
it up from the sea full of small fish. Among them the wise fisherman found a fine large
fish. He threw all the small fish back into the sea and chose the large fish without
difficulty. Whoever has ears to hear, let him hear."
' Government '...
Government is instituted for the common good; for the protection, safety, prosperity, and happiness of the people; and not for profit, honor, or private interest of any one man, family, or class of men; therefore, the people alone have an incontestable, unalienable, and indefeasible right to institute government; and to reform, alter, or totally change the same, when their protection, safety, prosperity, and happiness require it.
..................John Adams
' Our Rights '...
We must support our rights or lose our character, and with it, perhaps, our liberties.

...................Anna Freud
' Media Driven Opinion '...
When misguided public opinion honors what is despicable and despises what is honorable, punishes virtue and rewards vice, encourages what is harmful and discourages what is useful, applauds falsehood and smothers truth under indifference or insult, a nation turns its back on progress and can be restored only by the terrible lessons of catastrophe.

' 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.

' Controling Thoughts '...

' Choice '...
With each choice that you make to align yourself with the energy of your soul, you empower yourself. Authentic power is built up step by step, choice by choice. It cannot be meditated or prayed into being. It must be earned.
................Gary Zukav
' Fear '...
Fear keeps us rooted in the past. Fear of the unknown, fear of abandonment, fear of rejection, fear of not having enough, fear of not being enough, fear of the future-all these fears and more keep us trapped, repeating the same old patterns and making the same choices over and over again. Fear prevents us from moving outside the comfort-or even the familiar discomfort-of what we know. It's nearly impossible to achieve our highest vision for our lives as long as we are being guided by our fears.

' An Invincible Love '...
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. In the midst of chaos, I found there was, within me, an invincible calm. I realized, through it all, that… In the midst of winter, I found there was, within me, an invincible summer. 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

The best way to keep a prisoner from escaping is to make sure he never knows he's in prison.

All that we are is the result of what we have thought. The mind is everything. What we think, we become.
....................Maharishi Mahesh Yogi
' Do Not Fear '...
The most often repeated commandment in the Bible is 'Do not fear.' It's in there over two hundred times. That means a couple of things, if you think about it. It means we are going to be afraid, and it means we shouldn't let fear boss us around. Before I realized we were supposed to fight fear, I thought of fear as a subtle suggestion in our subconscious designed to keep us safe, or more important, keep us from getting humiliated. And I guess it serves that purpose. But fear isn't only a guide to keep us safe; it's also a manipulative emotion that can trick us into living a boring life.
.............Donald Miller

The greatest need of our time is to clean out the enormous mass of mental and emotional rubbish that clutters our minds
...............Thomas Merton
' The Mind called Source '...
As a man who has devoted his whole life to the most clear headed science, to the study of matter, I can tell you as a result of my research about atoms this much: There is no matter as such. All matter originates and exists only by virtue of a force which brings the particle of an atom to vibration and holds this most minute solar system of the atom together. We must assume behind this force the existence of a conscious and intelligent mind. This mind is the matrix of all matter.

Beware of ego...
Non-ego is the only bridge to freedom....
' Just Imagine '...
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
' How Negativity is Caused '...
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.

' Our Job '...
Our job is to love others without stopping to inquire whether or not they are worthy. That is not our business and, in fact, it is nobody's business. What we are asked to do is to love, and this love itself will render both ourselves and our neighbors worthy.
...........Thomas Merton
' Ignorance '...

' Preexisting Rights '...
The Framers of the Bill of Rights did not purport to 'create' rights. Rather, they designed the Bill of Rights to prohibit our Government from infringing rights and liberties presumed to be preexisting.
................William J. Brennan
' Dissent '...
We must dissent from the indifference. We must dissent from the apathy. We must dissent from the fear, the hatred and the mistrust. We must dissent from a nation that has buried its head in the sand, waiting in vain for the needs of its poor, its elderly, and its sick to disappear and just blow away. We must dissent from a government that has left its young without jobs, education or hope. We must dissent from the poverty of vision and the absence of moral leadership. We must dissent because America can do better, because America has no choice but to do better.
.......................Thurgood Marshall
' Taking Risks '...
Love is such a powerful force. It's there for everyone to embrace-that kind of unconditional love for all of humankind. That is the kind of love that impels people to go into the community and try to change conditions for others, to take risks for what they believe in.
.......................Coretta Scott King
' Inspire Others '...
If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader.
...............John Quincy Adams
' Love '...
Love has to spring spontaneously from within And it is no way amenable to any form of inner or outer force. Love and coercion can never go together; But though love cannot be forced on anyone, It can be awakened in him through love itself. Love is essentially self communicative; Those who do not have it catch it from those who have it. True love is unconquerable and irresistible, And it goes on gathering power and spreading itself, Until eventually it transforms everyone whom it touches.
.................Meher Baba
' Seeing Source '...
If you want to see God, kill desires. Desires are in the mind. When you have a desire for something, don't act on it and it will go away. If you desire to drink this cup of tea, don't, and the desire for it will go away.
...............Neem Karoli Baba

' I Don't Know '...
In the land of "I know," there is always competitiveness, jealousy, pretence, pride and arrogance. It is an aggressive realm - the realm of the ego. I say refuse citizenship.

The first peace, which is the most important,

it is within each of us.

.............Emile Zola
' Lying '...
A man who lies to himself, and believes his own lies becomes unable to recognize truth, either in himself or in anyone else, and he ends up losing respect for himself and for others. When he has no respect for anyone, he can no longer love, and, in order to divert himself, having no love in him, he yields to his impulses, indulges in the lowest forms of pleasure, and behaves in the end like an animal. And it all comes from lying - lying to others and to yourself.

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
' Silence is Essential '...
Silence is essential. We need silence just as much as we need air, just as much as plants need light. If our minds are crowded with words and thoughts, there is no space for us.
.................Nhat Hanh
' Searching for Happiness '...
All I can guarantee you is that as long as you are searching for happiness, you will remain unhappy.
........................U.G. Krishnamurti
' 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
' People are Beautiful '...
People should be beautiful in every way - in their faces, in the way they dress, in their thoughts, and in their innermost selves.
.....................Anton Chekhov
' A Multitudes of Fools '...
You have the army of mediocrities followed by the multitude of fools. As the mediocrities and the fools always form the immense majority, it is impossible for them to elect an intelligent government.

You can plan for a hundred years. But you don't know what will happen the next moment.

........................A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada
' A Waste of Time '...
Truth cannot be given to you; especially if you are following an organized religion, then truth will be as far from you as darkness is from light. Truth is not found by observing rituals, undertaking pilgrimages or reading the scriptures. It is simply a waste of time.
.......................Anandmurti Gurumaa
' Fix Yourself '...
Do not try to fix whatever comes in your life. Fix yourself in such a way that whatever comes, you will be fine.
.........................Jaggi Vasudev
' Condemn No Man '...
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
' Only Light Can '...
Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.
...............Martin Luther King, Jr.
' Individual Freedom '...
There is no justification for taking away individuals' freedom in the guise of public safety.
......................Thomas Jefferson
' Frightened by Death '...
The ego is frightened by death, because ego is part of the incarnation and ends with it. That is why we learn to identify with our soul, as the soul continues after death. For the soul, death is just another moment.
..............................Ram Dass
' Most of us Need '...
Most of us need to be reminded that we are good, that we are lovable, that we belong. If we knew just how powerfully our thoughts, words, and actions affected the hearts of those around us, we'd reach out and join hands again and again. Our relationships have the potential to be a sacred refuge, a place of healing and awakening. With each person we meet, we can learn to look behind the mask and see the one who longs to love and be loved.
.................Tara Brach
' Mindfulness '...
Mindfulness gives you time. Time gives you choices. Choices, skillfully made, lead to freedom. You don't have to be swept away by your feeling. You can respond with wisdom and kindness rather than habit and reactivity.
......................Henepola Gunaratana
' What is your Teacher ? '...
Anything which is troubling you, anything which is irritating you, THAT is your teacher.
...............Ajahn Chah
' Insanity on Earth '...
If there’s life on other planets, then the earth is the Universe’s insane asylum.
.................Voltaire
' Liberty '...
It is seldom, that liberty of any kind is lost all at once. Slavery has so frightful an aspect to men accustomed to freedom, that it must steal upon them by degrees, and must disguise itself in a thousand shapes, in order to be received.
.................David Hume
' History Teaches Us '...
What history teaches us is that neither nations nor governments ever learn anything from it.
......................Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
' Hearing the Truth '...
Sometimes people don't want to hear the truth because they don't want their illusions destroyed.
.....................Friedrich Nietzsche
' Divine Consciousness '...
In the field of the knowledge of the Soul,,,, It is understood by Mystics to exist as Light, Love, and Consciousness... It is a State of At-One-Ness,... or what we call Aloness... We are the Light and Consciousness and yet there is something within this Light that has more Wisdom than our Soul... All we have to do is question within Thought to hear Truth........................Thomas

...................Anaxagoras
' Reality and Unreality '...
Man is the measure of all things, of the reality of those which are, and of the unreality of those which are not.
....................Protagoras
' Tasting the Truth '...
Most people, including ourselves, live in a world of relative ignorance. We are even comfortable with that ignorance, because it is all we know. When we first start facing truth, the process may be frightening, and many people run back to their old lives. But if you continue to seek truth, you will eventually be able to handle it better. In fact, you want more! It's true that many people around you now may think you are weird or even a danger to society, but you don't care. Once you've tasted the truth, you won't ever want to go back to being ignorant
............................Socrates
' Acting '...
There's not much to say about acting but this. Never settle back on your heels. Never relax. If you relax, the audience relaxes. And always mean everything you say.

' The Fish is Thirsty '...
I laugh when I hear that the fish in the water is thirsty. I laugh when I hear that people go on pilgrimage to find God.
