' Who are You ? '...
Dare to declare who you are. It is not far from the shores of silence to the boundaries of speech. The path is not long, but the way is deep. You must not only walk there, you must be prepared to leap.
................ Saint Hildegard of Bingen
' Seeking Truth '...
When you seek truth, you seek God whether you know it or not.
............Edith Stein
' Let Nothing Disturb You '...
Let nothing Disturb you, Let nothing frighten you, Though all things pass, God does not change. Patience wins all things. But he lacks nothing who possesses God; For God alone suffices.
............. Saint Teresa of Avila
' 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 '...
I have never met a man so ignorant that I couldn't learn something from him.
..................Galileo Galilei
' 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
' Chanting '...
Chanting is a way of getting in touch with yourself. It's an opening of the heart and letting go of the mind and thoughts. It deepens the channel of grace, and it's a way of being present in the moment.
...............Krishna Das
' 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. In the land of "I dont know," the inhabitants move without conflict and are naturally quiet, happy and peaceful. The wise stay here.
..................Mooji
' Be Yourself '...
The easiest thing to be in the world is you. The most difficult thing to be is what other people want you to be. Don't let them put you in that position.
...........Leo Buscaglia
' Many Words '...
Many words are not proof of the wise man, because the sage only talk when it's needed, and the words are measured and corresponding with the need.
.............Thales
' A Free Thinker '...
Be a free thinker and don't accept everything you hear as truth. Be critical and evaluate what you believe in.
...........Aristotle
' Declare your Jihad '...
Declare your jihad on thirteen enemies you cannot see - Egoism, Arrogance, Conceit, Selfishness, Greed, Lust, Intolerance, Anger, Lying, Cheating, Gossiping and Slandering. If you can master and destroy them, then will be ready to fight the enemy you can see.
.............Al-Ghazali
' This Dimension '...
This wordly life is like a shadow. If you try to catch it, you will never be able to do so. If you turn your back towards it, it has no choice but to follow you.

..............Phil Ochs
' When the Sun Died '...
When the sun died, I went up to heaven and saw God and all the people who had died a long time ago. God told me to come back and tell my people they must be good and love one another, and not fight, or steal, or lie. He gave me this dance to give to my people.
..............Wovoka
' The First Peace '...
The first peace, which is the most important,
is that which comes within the souls of people
when they realize their relationship,
their oneness with the universe and all its powers,
and when they realize that at the center of the universe
dwells the Great Spirit,
and that this center is really everywhere,
it is within each of us.
..............Black Elk
' A Pagan '...
A wee child toddling in a wonder world, I prefer to their dogma my excursions into the natural gardens where the voice of the Great Spirit is heard in the twittering of birds, the rippling of mighty waters, and the sweet breathing of flowers. If this is Paganism, then at present, at least, I am a Pagan.
.......................Zitkala-Sa
' God Sleeps '...
God sleeps in the rock, dreams in the plant, stirs in the animal, and awakens in man.

' Love is Lost '...
Between what is said and not meant, and what is meant and not said, most of love is lost.
...................Khalil Gibran
' Shuting out Truth '...
If you shut up truth and bury it under the ground, it will but grow, and gather to itself such explosive power that the day it bursts through it will blow up everything in its way.
.............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.
......................Fyodor Dostoevsky
' World Creation '...
The creation of the world did not take place once and for all time, but takes place every day.

' Ignorance '...
Ignorance leads to fear, fear leads to hate, and hate leads to violence. This is the equation.

' Listen to the Heart '...
Listen to your heart and not your ego. Your ego prompts you to boast of vain assertions to obtain the glory of this world. Turn away from vanity and seek Him in the recesses of your heart and soul

..............Gichin Funakoshi
' Understanding '...
When you don't understand, you depend on reality. When you do understand, reality depends on you.

Sometimes it's better to be kind than to be right. We do not need an intelligent mind that speaks, but a patient heart that listens. You will not be punished for your anger, you will be punished by your anger
.........Gautama the Buddha
' Too Small ? '...
If you think you are too small to make a difference, try sleeping with a mosquito.

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.
.................Guy de Maupassant

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

' Humility '...
Humility means that one should not be anxious to have the satisfaction of being honored by others.
........................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.

' 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.

' History Teaches Us '...
What history teaches us is that neither nations nor governments ever learn anything from it.

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
' Alone within Mind '...
All other things have a portion of everything, but Mind is infinite and self-ruled, and is mixed with nothing but is all alone by itself.
...................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 '...

In everyone's life, at some time, our inner fire goes out. It is then burst into flame by an encounter with another human being. We should all be thankful for those people who rekindle the inner spirit.

Greed is a bottomless pit which exhausts the person in an endless effort to satisfy the need without ever reaching satisfaction.

..............Friedrich Nietzsche
' Most Unhappiness '...
Most unhappiness is caused because people listen to themselves... instead of talking to themselves.
...............William James
' Rational Thinking '...
There seems to have been an actual decline in rational thinking. The United States had become a place where entertainers and professional athletes were mistaken for people of importance. They were idolized and treated as leaders; their opinions were sought on everything and they took themselves just as seriously-after all, if an athlete is paid a million or more a year, he knows he is important ... so his opinions of foreign affairs and domestic policies must be important, too, even though he proves himself to be ignorant and subliterate every time he opens his mouth.
.......................Robert A. Heinlein
' Life is Short '...
You are here for but an instant, and you mustn't take yourself too seriously
...............Edgar Rice Burroughs
' The Cornerstone of Character '...
The Wise Man believes profoundly in silence - the sign of a perfect equilibrium. Silence is the absolute poise or balance of body, mind and spirit. The man who preserves his selfhood ever calm and unshaken by the storms of existence - not a leaf, as it were, astire on the tree, not a ripple upon the surface of the shinning pool-his, in the mind of the unlettered sage, is the ideal attitude and conduct of life. Silence is the cornerstone of character.

Inside of me there are two dogs. One is mean and evil and the other is good and they fight each other all the time. When asked which one wins I answer, the one I feed the most.

' It is True '...
It is True,,, the moment that you sit under a tree in a forest and commit your body to die or know truth... No food or water is included within this path.. when, this happens,,, This Force of Love Energy knocks you to the ground.. Drops you into Darkness and then into Light.. This is the Buddhist method of bypassing Dimensions and levels of Consciousness... This is called Enlightenment............ thomas

' Point of View '...
To us all, life is a gift, liberty is a right, and the pursuit of happiness is the object supreme. But our conduct in the pursuit differs in accordance with the measure of justice we uphold. A common measure is only possible when we begin to understand and learn to appreciate each other's point of view and point of direction.

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
' 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.

' Atheism '...
Atheism is so senseless. When I look at the solar system, I see the earth at the right distance from the sun to receive the proper amounts of heat and light. This did not happen by chance.
............Isaac Newton
' The Resonate Frequency '...
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.

' Enlightenment '...
Enlightenment is a destructive process. It
has nothing to do with becoming better or being happier. Enlightenment is the
crumbling away of untruth. It's seeing
through the facade of pretence. It's the
complete eradication of everything we
imagined to be true.
..................Adyashanti
' Negativity '...
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.
........................Eckhart Tolle
' You Are '...
You are more than you think you are. There are dimensions of your being and a potential for realization and consciousness that are not included in your concept of yourself. Your life is much deeper and broader than you conceive it to be here. What you are living is but a fractional inkling of what is really within you, what gives you life, breadth, and depth.

' Life can be Hell '...
Most of life is hell. It’s filed with failure and loss. People disappoint you. Dreams don’t work out. Hearts get broken. Innocent journalists die. And the best moments of life, when everything comes together, are few and fleeting. But you’ll never get to the next great moment if you don’t keep going. So that’s what I do. I keep going.

' There is a power '...
Since I entered politics, I have chiefly had men's views confided to me privately. Some of the biggest men in the United States, in the field of commerce and manufacture, are afraid of somebody, are afraid of something. They know that there is a power somewhere so organized, so subtle, so watchful, so interlocked, so complete, so pervasive, that they had better not speak above their breath when they speak in condemnation of it.

..........................................
Humanity is on a roll! Your collective awakening is happening right now, as many of you are engaged in celebrating the anniversary of my birth, which apparently occurred over two thousand years ago – and yet it was but a moment ago! Time is dissolving now into the eternal NOW as you awaken from an eons long sleep in which you have experienced dreams and nightmares of separation, pain, and wide-spread and pervasive suffering. You have all collectively decided that you have had enough, that finally it is time to dismiss and dissolve the game of separation in which you have been engaged, and to come back together again as ONE.
You are One, that has never changed, it could not and cannot change, because there is only ONE, Mother/Father/God, Source, LOVE – YOU – each and every ONE of YOU! Here in the non-physical realms, where our eternal existence (just like yours) is in our fully conscious awareness of our aliveness in our Oneness, we are rejoicing as the game is brought to its inevitable conclusion. It has served its purpose – demonstrating to you all, the whole human collective, the total insanity of imagining and maintaining a desire or need to be separate. You now know that all you desire is Oneness, to be at One and know Yourself once more as you truly and eternally are – the infinite energy field in which ALL reside, fully ALIVE and in a state of extreme JOY.
How could it be otherwise? God (or any other word or phrase with which you feel comfortable, or feel is at the very least acceptable to you) is infinite Love, Wisdom, and Serenity at unmitigated peace and contentment with Itself, YOU – all of You without any exceptions whatsoever – in endless undisturbed satisfaction and contentment.
To be in heaven, to be at home, is to be fully, consciously, and eternally aware of your true nature – One with Source. There is no meaningful conscious awareness other than complete and conscious awareness of Oneness. That is what You are! And that is living, and it is eternally creating more of Itself in totally harmonious and loving cooperation for the infinite delight of All/Source/YOU.The gift of Life is miraculous, there is no greater gift, in fact there is no other gift, because there is only one gift which is eternal, endless, and everlasting, it is Life. It is to be One with One, and yet also endlessly free and capable of experiencing individuality in order to offer to All a new and unique creative experience that the One delights in seeing created for the joy of All.
The brilliance of this infinitely expressive creative impulse is established within the One and may be, and very frequently is, expressed individually allowing All, as One, and as individuals to be in wonder at the beauty that it presents. Every creative expression is eternally established for all, and is available for All to enjoy forever. As humans you often use the word ‘forever,’ but truly, while you are experiencing limitation because of your enclosure in forms, that word is meaningless, because everything material eventually decays, returning to its original pre-big-bang state of non physical existence, and is no longer available to you, even though its energy is forever!
As I, and many other wise and loving beings have so often told you: you are, each and every one of you, infinite divine beings at One with one another – although that does not appear to be the case – and with the Source, All That Is. Why? Because that is ALL. Whoever you may believe yourself/yourselves to be, as you limit yourselves in form, is absolutely NOT who You are! Yes, you have forgotten who you are, that is what unreality, the dream or nightmare was all about, and now is the moment of release from that unreal and often completely terrifying experience.
You chose the unreal in order to more fully and utterly appreciate and delight in Reality, Oneness, inseparability from All, and only by believing in the experience of separation could you really know what separation – were it even remotely possible, which it is NOT – would do to you. It would terminate you finally without a trace after your physical form could no longer support the eternal energy of Source that enlivened it. And to experience that as a belief is terrifying, because, however intensely you may deny it, you most definitely do not want to die. And yet death is all around you while you remain in form, constantly reminding you of its inevitability.
I am therefore very happy to remind you once again that there is NO death. Death is unreal because all life is eternal, endless, forever. There is only One, but to fully experience Itself It needs a contrast, and infinite contrasts are available within the infinite creative abilities with which It has endowed Itself. Although the form in which it is experienced can and does change as creative choices are made for the wonder and joy that they can offer the myriad individuals delighting in that sense of individuality.
Your awakening is to return to that state of knowing in which, as the One, you can also enjoy the sense of creative individuality that offers limitless opportunities for harmonious cooperation with Oneself as you create ever increasing and endless Joy. Life is Joy, so go within daily to your holy inner sanctuaries and remind yourselves of the truth of this as Love floods your open hearts, flows through them, and out beyond them into the ever expanding field of the infinite that is One, that is You, that is Love, and that is awakening.
Your loving brother, Jesus.

' Be Strong '...
Be so strong that nothing can disturb your peace of mind. Talk health, happiness, and prosperity to every person you meet. Make all your friends feel there is something special in them. Look at the sunny side of everything. Think only the best, be as enthusiastic about the success of others as you are about your own. Forget the mistakes of the past and press on to the greater achievements of the future. Give everyone a smile. Spend so much time improving yourself that you have no time left to criticize others. Be too big for worry and too noble for anger.

' Christmas By Rumi '...
There is a morning where presence
comes over you, and you sing
like a rooster in your earth-colored shape.
Your heart hears and, no longer frantic,
begins to dance. At that moment
soul reaches total emptiness.
Your heart becomes Mary, miraculously pregnant,
and body, like a two-day-old Jesus,
says wisdom words.
Now the heart turns to light,
and the body picks up the tempo.
Where Shams Tabriz walks, the footprints
are musical notes, and holes
you fall through into space.
-Rumi
