FROM
SPIRIT
"Matter
is not only "frozen" energy but also the "frozen"
consciousness of God."
--www.yogananda.com
SRF is the official path of Yogananda.
"To
grasp the reality and order of being in its Science, you must begin by
reckoning God as the divine Principle of all that really is. Spirit,
Life, Truth, Love, combine as one,--and are the Scriptural names for
God. All substance, intelligence, wisdom, being, immortality, cause,
and effect belong to God. These are His attributes, the eternal
manifestations of the infinite divine Principle, Love. No wisdom is
wise but His wisdom; no truth is true, no love is lovely, no life is
Life but the divine; no good is, but the good God bestows." --Mary
Baker Eddy
"Sanity
implies having no illusion, no image at all about oneself or about
another...when you call yourself a Dutchman, forgive me for saying so,
you are not quite balanced. You separate yourself, isolate
yourself--as others do when they call themselves Hindus. These
Nationalistic, religious divisions, with their armies, with their
Priests, indicate a state of mental insanity." -- Jiddu
Krishnamurte
"He
was laughing because he had been searching for the Buddha without, and
the Buddha was within." --Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh
(Osho).
"Those
who know do not talk. Those who talk do not know." --Lao
Tsu
"A
human being is a part of the whole called by us "Universe."
A part
limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts
and
feelings as something separated from the rest -- a kind of optical
delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison
for us,
restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few
persons
nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this
prison by
widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and
the
whole of nature in its beauty."
-- Albert Einstein
"We
are, indeed, in relationship with all that is."
--George Leonard
"Balance
and harmony in relationship is the fundamental nature of the
universe." --Stewart Emery
"True
wealth, by contrast with money, is the sum of energy, technical
intelligence, and raw materials." --Alan Watts
"How
to be and get rich? Find out what is needed and wanted and
produce it." --Werner Erhard
"I
have discovered that everyone has a deep commitment and burning desire
to give to others, to assist others, and to make this world be the
heaven that it can be. For some the vision is clear and they are
living it step by step. They have a purpose and a commitment
that is greater than themselves."
"We don't have to manipulate to be loved,
we just have to be. Love is effortless." -- Rev Terry
Cole-Whittaker
"Meditation
is not effortless; it is very active. You need will and
concentration to do it." --RG
"How
can consciousness explain itself." --Carl Gustav Jung
The Soul
is Consciousness itself. We are not the body, emotions or mind. Those
are our temporary vehicles. We are soul ever connected to Spirit.
--My interpretation of Nature of the Soul
"Within
the gross vibration of the flesh is the fine vibration of the cosmic
current, the life energy; and permeating both flesh and life energy is
the most subtle vibration, that of consciousness." --Chogyam
Trungpa
"We
all need a new ethic, new laws based on those ethics which punish
human beings for encroachment on the lifestyles and the territory of
other species with brains comparable to and larger than ours. We need
modifications of our laws with respect to individual Whales, Dolphins
and Porpoises." --John Lily
"Be
Still and know that I am God." --God from Bible (What
Meditation is).
"He
who perceives me everywhere and all things in me and never loses sight
of me I never lose sight of him."--Bhagavad Gita (Krishna--The
Hindu Christ)
"Since
Love is the way it is, if you expanded your consciousness to the level
required, you would experience loving everybody." --Stewart
Emery
"I
and my Father are One." --Christ
"Persona
get thee behind me, I the Soul shall lead."
"It
is the Father In Which We Live And Move And Have Our Being."
--The Wisdom
One reason
for OUR existence on Earth Is "Every Man A
Christ." --Nature of the Soul
The
moment one definitely commits oneself, then providence moves too. All
sorts of things occur to help one that would never otherwise have
occurred... unforeseen incidents, meetings, and material assistance
which no one could have dreamed would have come their way.
--Goethe
"Intelligence
without honesty produces exploitation; honesty without intelligence
lacks perspective and vision; but united, they produce that integrity
indispensable to the survival of an empire."
"In times like these, every man is willing to be patriotic
if it costs him nothing...The Golden Rule has given place to the Rule
of Gold."
"Patriotism is idealism--the urge to build beauty, virtue,
and integrity into the fabric of our common wealth."
"The POOR WANT TO BE RICH WITHOUT WORKING, THE RICH WANT
TO STAY RICH WITHOUT WORKING, AND THE FEW WHO ARE WORKING WANT TO
QUIT."
"We want someone who can restore prosperity without in any
way interfering with our own private methods of exploitation."
"The first step towards the re-establishment of national
integrity is individual honesty."
"Do not expect to live without working. Do not desire to,
but rejoice in the dignity of labor. Do not dream of consuming and not
producing. Do not take this from that, until that has no place to lay
its head. Put America right with itself by putting yourself right with
your neighbor. Do not look for the next political administration to
improve the situation." -- Manly
P. Hall
"There
are no heroes of action only heroes of renunciation &
suffering."
--Albert Sweitzer.
"If we could read the secret history of our enemies we would find
in each man's life a sorrow and a suffering enough to disarm all
hostility. Acceptance is brother hood." --Longfellow
"In
the past I felt that the Scientific viewpoints of total objectivity,
of the noninvolved Scientific observer was the be all and end all for
ones life. I am no longer convinced that such a dispassionate
noninvolved view of ecology will ever work. A Scientist who fails to
assume social responsibility, the feedback from all other members of
his species, is not taking the responsibility of being a human beyond
a limited self serving role in society. Involvement and participation
are absolutely essential for understanding and for survival of Self
and of ones own species." --John
Lilly
"There
are 100 billion inhabited worlds." --Carl Sagan
The
only good government is: The universal
citizen guided by God through his own conscience.

"If
you only have a hammer, you tend to see all of your problems as
nails."
-- Voltaire
"I know war as few other men now living know it, and nothing to
me is more revolting.
I have long advocated its complete abolition, as its very
destructiveness in both
friend and foe has rendered it useless as a method of settling
international disputes."
-- General Douglas MacArthur>
"The
cetaceans have achieved mastery of the artist, the Spirit." --Tom
Pope
"The
purpose of education is to teach one how to think, not what to
think." -- Manly P. Hall
In the
Universe there is an immeasurable, indescribable force which shamans
call INTENT, and absolutely everything that exists in the entire
cosmos is attached to intent by a connecting link. --Carlos
Castaneda
The
journey into the heart is our future and our only way of creating a
future. It is movement toward wholeness, integrity, and compassion. It
is the healing each of us longs for and the healing that each of us
must accomplish if we are to move forward into our fullest potential.
-- Gary Zukav
"Let the beauty we love be what we do." --RUMI

to be awakened." --Baba

only Love" --Daya Mata

As to the evil which results from censorship, it is impossible to measure it,
because it is impossible to tell where it ends."
-- Jeremy Bentham, philosopher
"All censorships exist to prevent anyone from challenging current
conceptions and existing institutions. All progress is initiated by
challenging current conceptions, and executed by supplanting existing
institutions. Consequently the first condition of progress is the removal of
censorships."
-- George Bernard Shaw
"You don't have to burn books to destroy a culture. Just get people to
stop reading them."
-- Ray Bradbury
"He that would make his own liberty secure must guard even his enemy from
opposition; for if he violates this duty he establishes a precedent that will
reach to himself."
-- Thomas Paine

protections, which they will with age inherit fully, are chipped away in the
name of their protection."

You were born with
potential. You were born with goodness and trust. You were born with ideals
and dreams. You were born with greatness. You were born with wings. You are
not meant for crawling, so don't. You have wings. Learn to use them and fly.
--Rumi
Energy follows thought; we
move toward, but not beyond, what we can imagine. What we assume, expect, or
believe, creates and colors our experience. By expanding our deepest beliefs
about what is possible, we change our experience of life. --Dan
Millman
We can find spiritual
solutions to problems by living at higher levels -and calling upon faster
energies. In my mind, intention is now something much greater than a
determined ego, or individual will. It¹s something almost totally opposite...
imagine that intention is not something you do, but rather a force that exists
in the universe as an invisible field of energy --Dr. Wayne
Dyer.
A substructure underpins
the universe that is essentially a recording medium of everything, providing a
means for everything to communicate with everything else. People are
indivisible from their environment. Living consciousness is not an isolated
entity... the consciousness of human beings has incredible power to heal
ourselves, to heal the world- in a sense to make it as we wish to be
--Lynne McTaggart The Field.
Dormant forces, faculties,
and talents come alive and you discover yourself to be a greater person by far
than you ever dreamed yourself to be. - -Patanjali
"Imagine
All The People Living Life In Peace." -- John Lennon

Lord
Make Me An Instrument of Thy Peace
...Where there
is hatred let me sow Love.
Where there Is
Injury, Pardon:
where there is
doubt, faith;
where there is
despair, hope;
where there is
darkness, Light;
where there is
sadness, Joy
O Divine
Master, grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled
as to console;
to be
understood, as to understand;
to be loved, as
to Love
For it is in
the pardoning that we are pardoned;
and it is in
the dying that we are born to Eternal Life.
--Saint Francis of
Assisi
DESIDERATA
Go Placidly Amid
The Noise & Haste & Remember What Peace There May Be In Silence.
As Far As Possible Without surrender be on good terms with all persons.
Speak your truth quietly & clearly; and listen to others, even the dull
and ignorant; they too have their story.
Avoid
loud and aggressive persons, they are vexations to the Spirit. If you
compare yourself to others, you may become vain & bitter; for always
there will be greater & lesser persons than yourself. Enjoy your
achievements as well as your plans.
Keep
interested in your own career, however humble; it is a real possession in
the changing fortunes of time. Exercise caution in your business
affairs; for the world is full of trickery. But let this not blind you
to what virtue there is; many persons strive for high ideals; and everywhere
life is full of heroism.
Be
yourself, Especially do not feign affection. Neither be cynical about
Love; for it is perennial as the grass.
Take
kindly the counsel of the years, gracefully surrendering the things of
youth. Nurture strength of Spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune.
But do not distress yourself with imaginings. Many fears are born of
fatigue and loneliness. Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with
yourself.
You
are a child of the Universe, no less than the trees & the Stars; you
have a right to be here. And whether or not it is clear to you, no
doubt the Universe is unfolding as it should.
Therefore
be at peace with God, whatever you conceive Him to be, and whatever your
labors & aspirations, in the noisy confusion of life keep peace with
your soul. * With all its sham, and drudgery & broken
dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be careful. Strive to be
happy.
