"To go beyond yourself, you must first be yourself.
To be yourself takes no special understanding, only a willingness to see yourself as you really are."

"There is one mind common to all individual men. Every man is an inlet to the same and to all of the same.
He that is once admitted to the right of reason is made a freeman of the whole estate.
What Plato has thought, he may think; what a saint has felt, he may feel; what at any time has befallen any man, he can understand.
Who hath access to this universal mind is a party to all that is or that can be, for this is the only and sovereign agent."

Ralph Waldo Emerson

"I don't know exactly what a prayer is. I do know how to pay attention, how to fall down into the grass, how to kneel down in the grass, how to be idle and blessed, how to stroll through the fields, which is what I've been doing all day.
Tell me, what else should I have done?
Doesn't everything die at last, and too soon.
Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?"

just "Who" is seeking "What"?
good question.
but then, ask the question
and perhaps you've already
stepped out of Consciousness.
does the questions really matter?
Consciousness, simply... IS
isn't it?

"Be in the moment!"
what the heck does that mean!
...you may ask.
so many thoughts runnin round in that head, hmm?

by: Guy Finley

"The life-healing insights in this book empower you
to stop being an unwitting victim of your own fears
and to take command of challenging situations.
You'll discover how to unlock the door to your own Free Mind,
and to come upon the greatest spiritual secret of all:
Who you really are
is already everything you've ever wanted to be!"

"The goal of the hero trip down to the jewel point is to find those levels in the psyche that open, open, open...
and finally open to the mystery of your Self
being Buddha consciousness
or the Christ.

That's the journey.

Joseph Cambell

"The greatest part of mankind ... may be said to be asleep, and that particular way of life which takes up each man's mind, thoughts and actions, may be very well called his particular dream.
This degree of vanity is equally visible in every form and order of life. The learned and the ignorant, the rich and the poor, are all in the same state of slumber."

"There is provided an escape from the narrowness and poverty of the individual life, and the possiblility of a life which is other and larger than our own, yet which is most truly our own.
For, to be ourselves, we must be more than ourselves. What we call love is, in truth ...
the losing of our individual selves to gain a larger self."

"When you are no longer compelled by desire or fear...
When you have seen the radiance of eternity in all the forms of time...
When you follow your bliss...

Joseph Campbell

"An Invitation" by: Oriah Mountain Dreamer

"Mark how to know yourself. To know himself a man must ever be on the watch over himself, holding his outer faculties. The object is to reach a state of consciousness -- a new state of one self. It is to reach Now, where one is present to oneself. What I say unto you I say unto all:
Be Awake ." --Meister Eckhart

"He who always seeks more light the more he finds, and finds more the more he seeks, is one of the few happy mortals who take and give in every point of time.
The tide and ebb of giving and receiving is the sum of human happiness, which he alone enjoys who always wishes to acquire new knowledge, and always finds it."

Johann Lavater

Well, in closing I'd just like to say that those senate hearings didn't prove a thing! This isn't over...not by a longshot... I'll be baahk!

"The being who has attained harmony, and every being may attain it, has found his place in the order of the universe and represents the divine thought as clearly as a flower or a solar system. Harmony seeks nothing outside itself. It is what it ought to be; it is the expression of right, order, law and truth; it is greater than time, and represents eternity."

Henri Amiel

Here's that Profile Thingie , why? I DUH-no, seemed like a good ideer @ the time...

"(This) self is an entirely illusory entity, constantly changing, full of contradictions which only habit prevents us from discerning.
But above all the self is -- selfish. As if flying in panic from any recognition of its own nothingness, it feverishly erects edifices of self importance, self aggrandizement, self love.
More binding than any prison, since we unthinkingly take its very walls for reality, it prevents us from ever realizing the true significance of our being here."

D.L. Pendlebury

"The sovereignty of nature has been alloted to the silent forces. The moon makes not the faintest echo of a noise, yet it draws millions of tons of tidal waters to and fro at its biding. We do not hear the sun rise, nor the planets set. So, too, the dawning of the greatest moment in a man's life comes quietly, with none to herald it to the world. In that Stillness alone is born the knowledge of the Overself. The gliding of the mind's boat into the lagoon of the spirit is the gentlest thing I know; it is more hushed than the fall of eventide."

Dr. Paul Brunton

"To live in sacred space is to live in a symbolic environment where spiritual life is possible,
where everything around you speaks of exaltation of the spirit.
In sacred space, everything is done so that the environment becomes a metaphor."

Joseph Campbell

"Like two golden birds perched on the self same tree, intimate friends, the ego and the Self dwell in the same body.
The former eats the sweet and sour fruits of the tree of life, while the latter looks on in detachment."

The Mundaka Upanishad

"Few are those content with the direction their lives have taken; fewer are the men and women willing to learn why their destiny feels outside their control; and fewer still are those individuals who persist upon the path of self-discovery until realizing the truth of why their worlds unfold as they do."

Guy Finley (as with most non-credited quoted text herein)

"As long as anything in this world means anything to you, your freedom is only a word. You are like a bird that is held by a leash; you can only fly so far."

Francis Fenelon

"I laugh when I hear that the fish in the water is thirsty. You don't grasp the fact that what is most alive of all is inside your own house; and so you walk from one holy city to the next with a confused look!."

Kabir

"Doubt is the vestibule which all must pass before they can enter the temple of Wisdom. When we are in doubt and puzzle out the truth by our own exertions, we have gained something that will stay by us and serve us again. But, if to avoid the trouble of the search we avail ourselves of the superior information of a friend, such knowledge will not remain with us; we have not bought, but borrowed it."

Caleb Colton

"For God hath not given us the spirit of fear."

New Testament

"Self-government is indeed, the noblest rule on earth; the object of a loftier ambition than the possession of crowns or scepters."

John Caird

"Bring all of yourself to his door; bring only a part, and you've brought nothing at all."

Hakim Sanai

"None are more hopelessly enslaved than those who fasely believe they are free"

Johann von Goethe

"As a Spiritual Warrior you need to get this very clear:

'If I am with the All, then I am not in tension or in need.
I know I am with all things.
I do not feel lack or pressure.
I am poised. I am silent, peaceful.
I can deal with any form that comes my way and let it go.
I am not bound to anything.'

This is correct imagination."

- John-Roger
