About Me

Man should discover his own reality and not thwart himself. For he has the self as his only friend, or as his only enemy. A person has the self as a friend when he has conquered himself...
... Life is a series of events that exists for the development of consciousness. With death the things of the world are left behind and what remains is the state of ones psyche and the consequences of one's actions.
Meditation: the acquisition of information by the consciousness, free of the interference of the mind.
1. The student must first attain the ability to stop the course of his thoughts, the capacity of Not Thinking. Only the one who achieves that capacity will hear the Voice of the Silence.
2. When the student attains the capacity of Not Thinking, then he must learn to concentrate his thought on one thing only.
3. The third step is correct meditation. This brings the first flashes of the new Consciousness into the mind.
4. The fourth step is contemplation, ecstasy or Samadhi. This is the state of Turiya
(perfect clairvoyance).
"Meditation hasn't got a damn thing to do with anything, 'cause all it has to do with is nothing. Nothingness. Okay? It doesn't develop the mind, it dissolves the mind. Self-improvement? Forget it baby. It erases the self. Throws the ego out on it's big brittle ass. What good is it? Good for nothing. Excellent for nothing. Yes, Lord, but when you get down to nothing, you get down to ultimate reality. It's then then and exactly then that you're sensing the true nature of the universe, you're linked up with the absolute Absolute, son, and unless you're content with blowing smoke up your butt all your life, that there's the only place to be."
"Love is a temporary madness. It erupts like an earthquake and then subsides. And when it subsides you have to make a decision. You have to work out whether your roots have become so entwined together that it is inconceivable that you should ever part. Because this is what love is. Love is not breathlessness, it is not excitement, it is not the promulgation of promises of eternal passion. That is just being "in love" which any of us can convince ourselves we are.
Love itself is what is left over when being in love has burned away, and this is both an art and a fortunate accident. Your mother and I had it, we had roots that grew towards each other underground, and when all the pretty blossom had fallen from our branches we found that we were one tree and not two."
- Captain Corelli's Mandolin
And the high destiny of the individual is to serve rather than to rule, or to impose himself in any other way.
Author: Albert Einstein 1879-1955, German-born American Physicist
â€œAll the political changes are useless if we have not comprehended our internal poverty. The political system can change again and again, the social systems can be altered again and again, but if we have not comprehended profoundly the inner nature of our internal poverty, the individual will always create new means and ways to attain personal satisfaction at the expense of others' peace.â€
-Samael Aun Weor, The Three Minds
"Accustomed long to contemplating love and compassion, I have forgotten all difference between myself and others.â€-Milarepa
