Prayers, fasting, ablutions and so on

"Prayers, fasting, ablutions and so on, in fact all the practices
recommended by religions throughout the world, serve to prepare
people to receive the currents and messages from heaven
correctly. Actually, the main thing is not the practices
themselves but the willingness to undertake an inner work of
self-examination and purification so as to improve one's
thoughts, feelings and behaviour.
Those who are not determined to carry out this work would do
better to leave spirituality alone; otherwise they will become a
danger to themselves and others. As long as we have not rid
ourselves of certain prejudices and bias, there is nothing more
dangerous than religious practices: they give those who do them
the illusion that they are messengers, instruments of heaven.
Thus we have seen people become torturers of their family or even
of their people. Only those who have worked to become selfless
and loving toward others are able to hear and pass on messages
from heaven."

Time changes not, but all things change in time.

Time changes not,
but all things change in time.
For time is the force
that holds events separate,
each in its own proper place.
Time is not in motion,
but ye move through time 
as your consciousness
moves from one event to another.
Aye, by time yet exist, all in all,
an eternal ONE existence.
Know ye that even though in the time ye are separate,
yet still are ONE, in all times existent.

Reprise

This goal, when will we reach it?

It was once far, but now it is near.

When will we hold it in our hands?

When we will open our eyes to see it is already here.

The quality of patience involves tolerance.

"The quality of patience involves tolerance. Yes, but there are

many ways of tolerating. You may be exasperated by certain

actions or words, and even if you remain motionless and silent

you may be boiling inside with feelings of anger and rebellion.

This happens, especially when you have to be subjected to the

authority of someone senior to you: even if they take advantage

of the situation, you don't move, you say nothing, knowing that

if you retorted you would only make matters worse. But then, you

chew over your grievances for hours, you fret and it hurts. Well,

that is not what patience is.

Patience, true patience, is accompanied by a sense of strength

and peace, so it implies considerable previous inner work. You

have to have acquired a great deal of wisdom before you can

eventually be patient."

Omraam Mikhaël Aïvanhov

No Strings

When we have agendas our judgment is distorted and our vision becomes selective. We see what we want to see and conveniently ignore the rest. 

Giving up our agenda always requires some discomfort. But God has a bigger and better plan for us than we could ever imagine for our self. All that is requested is that we trust.

Cosmic Intelligence

"Cosmic Intelligence has given human beings the gift of a mind, a
heart and a will. To satisfy their mind, they need to think; to
satisfy their heart, they need to experience feelings; to satisfy
their will, they need to act. And it is in action that they know
the greatest joy. Fulfilment is found not in understanding or
feeling but in action and achievement.
When we are in action, we feel in tune, at one with the
primordial force. For an action implies concentrating all one's
energies, including all the cells of one's being, before making
the gesture that accomplishes it. This is why any act of
kindness, wisdom, disinterestedness or love performed with full
awareness brings fulfilment."

Omraam Mikhaël Aïvanhov

Il n'y a qu'une loi divine de la vie : l'amour infini

Il n'y a qu'une loi divine de la vie : l'amour infini que les humains ne connaissent pas. Tout ce qu'un homme désire et qui peut nuire à un autre être est une violation de la loi d'amour. Tout ce que l'homme pense, ressent, veut, fait, en dehors de l'amour universel se transforme en souffrance.

'If you nurture within yourself the idea of love in its most sublime form

"The Master Peter Deunov said, 'If you nurture within yourself the
idea of love in its most sublime form, you receive help from
thousands upon thousands of loving souls, for love implies the
collective work of a multitude of souls joined together by the
idea of love. Divine love is the greatest power there is. Never
doubt this truth, if you wish the souls working in its name to
always remain close to you.'
These words deserve to be pondered, chewed over and digested,
for they open up amazing horizons for us. Once we have arrived at
this divine conception of love, we shall attract thousands of
souls from on high, who will come to help us and support us.
Human language is weak when it comes to expressing the joy of
those who are visited by love such as this. They need only catch
sight of a man's or woman's face in passing to feel fulfilled."

Omraam Mikhaël Aïvanhov

Death on the earth is a birth above

"What a worry it is for the doctor and hospital staff when a child
that's about to be born presents feet first! Yes, because a child
coming into the world should present head first. But this is just
the physiological aspect of the matter; the position a child is
born in has so much more to teach us.
Watch how swimmers diving into the water launch themselves in
head first, and when they want to come out of the water they do
the opposite and raise their head. The fact that a child comes
into the world head first shows that the spirit, descending from
subtle regions, has to dive into a much denser world. This
position is symbolic of the spirit sinking into matter. And
conversely, when people die, they leave a very dense region to
enter a subtler region, just like the swimmer coming up out of
the water into the air, which is subtler. So birth is a form of
death. Yes, the birth of a child is a death in the subtle
regions. And death on the earth is a birth above."

Omraam Mikhaël Aïvanhov

One of the greatest paradoxes of your physical senses...

One of the greatest paradoxes of your physical senses is that your eyes actually show you what you believe, not what you see.

If your desire is strong enough

If your desire is strong enough, it doesn't matter what your beliefs are. If you have a desire that is strong enough, that desire will be the dominant vibration, and it will over-ride any other vibration that you have.

You want proof of spirituality? Test it. Testing what you learn against your experience makes it more real and meaningful and less robotic & religious.

Joyful Emptiness

The beginning of all paths and the foundation of all ascents is to open yourself to receive from Above.

And how do you receive from Above? By being empty -- because a full vessel cannot receive, while an empty vessel has a hollow to be filled.

That is why we must run from depression; because a depressed person is so filled with his own self-pity, there is no room left to receive anything, no opening for life to enter.

But a humble, open spirit is vibrant with joy.

T.Freeman

Empty and Full

To fill yourself with wisdom, you must be full of wisdom.

To fill yourself with wisdom, you must empty yourself of all your wise thoughts.

To receive the Infinite Light, you must be armed with all the tools that draw light.

To receive the Infinite Light, you must be still and empty.

T. Freeman

Open thy SOUL, O man, to the Cosmic

Open thy SOUL, O man, to the Cosmic
and let it flow in as one with thy SOUL.
LIGHT is eternal and darkness is fleeting.
Seek ye ever, O man, for the LIGHT.
Know ye that ever as Light fills thy being,
darkness for thee shall soon disappear.

Making Room

He is a very big God. As soon as you take up any space at all, there is no room left for Him.

But take no space at all, and He gives you the entire universe.

T. Freeman

Mouths

Mouths are at the mid-point between the heart and the head because it's the point of restriction.

There is a constant battle between what we feel and what we think and it's up to our mouths to reconcile the two.

Don't believe everything you think. Bring attention to what you feel and away from what you think.

Y. Berg

True healers

True healers know that wellness is the order of the day, so they do not allow themselves, even for a moment, to see anything other than that. So, the power of the healer is in the power to influence the one who needs to be healed into a vibration that allows the healing that they are summoning. (that they could get, even without the healer, but they can get faster with a healer's influence)

The consciousness below thee is ever-expanding

The consciousness below thee is ever-expanding 
in different ways from those known to thee. 
Aye, it, though in space-time below thee, 
is ever growing in ways that are different from 
those that were part of the ways of thine own. 
For know that it grows as a result of thy growth 
but not in the same way that thou didst grow. 
The growth that thou had and have in the present 
have brought into being a cause and effect. 
No consciousness follows the path of those before it, 
else all would be repetition and vain. 
Each consciousness in the cycle it exists in 
follows its own path to the ultimate goal. 
Each plays its part in the Plan of the Cosmos. 
Each plays its part in the ultimate end. 
The farther the cycle, the greater its 
knowledge and ability to blend the Law of the whole.

We are all Vibrational Beings

We are all Vibrational Beings. You're like a receiving mechanism that when you set your tuner to the station, you're going to hear what's playing. Whatever you are focused upon is the way you set your tuner, and when you focus there for as little as 17 seconds, you activate that vibration within you. Once you activate a vibration within you, Law of Attraction begins responding to that vibration, and you're off and running -- whether it's something wanted or unwanted
