I don't consider my self "a teacher", a companion, a guide maybe, we're all in the same boat, on the same trip, whether we realize It or not.

For what would it profit a man to gain the whole world
and lose His very soul? | |

The way through life is arduos enough.
It's nice to encounter a pointer here and there.
The Buddha stood at the front of the boat and said go here, go there, because he had made the trip and lived only to tell about it, that others might find their way amoungst the rocks.
Listening can be a wise endeavour.
Wisdom is knowledge in action, applied, That Is. | |

Every human being in His/Her higher-state of mind wishes to know their meta-physical home.
It is this longing within the heart of mankind that becomes the quest for the lower self.
Emancipation is worth the effort that is required is it not.
To know that what you truly are cannot be touched by old age, suffering and death.
That that which you are is the Unborne It Self manifesting in this illusion as the reality of your very own thought processes.
This is the only gift bestowed upon you/us by our Mothers, everything else is acquired.
We are as tellers in a bank, the attachments we form to things in this illusion brings about their consequences with them, all this (everything)belongs to The Creator, here like you, for you to enjoy, but not to own.
Happiness is the best expression of gratitude.
It is the only 'thing' you can take with you . . . | |

Once upon a time, There was an Awakened One, His Disciple, and a Rabbi who went fishing in a boat.
The Awakened One cast the lure into a nearby thicket, stepped out of the boat, walked across the water, retrieved the lure, returned to the boat and handed the rig to His Disciple, who cast the lure into the same thicket, stepped out of the boat, walked across the water, retrieved the lure, returned to the boat and handed the rig to the Rabbi, who cast the lure into the same thicket, contemplating for a moment, he stepped out of the boat, and immediately sank to the bottom of the drink.
The Disciple looked at the Awakened One and said;
"He must not have known where the rocks were." | |

I Who Speak
Sometimes As I Write, the 'I' becomes "We” and yet remains 'I.'
There is a Consciousness which, while It remains One, is a symphony of harmoniously blended parts.
I write, and I watch myself writing. I Know, and yet I wonder at the knowing.
I am the student and, at the same time, I am the Teacher.
As Teacher, I stand in Majesty looking upon the world below.
As student, I look up humbly and amazed.
I speak and, presently, there blends with my voice the melodious Voices of Others.
One Meaning in many tones is unfolded.
So the tones of the seven-stringed Lyre are all sounded; one here, another there, in groups and, finally, all together.
And before this Melody I sit entranced, filled to the brim and more. I who Speak none will ever know until, on that final Day he finds Himself, when I appear in all My Glory.
---Dr. Franklin Merrell Wolff
Love is the path to the future, In my Heart there burns A Flame . . . , and It's A Holy Fire . . . , How I long to be with Him . . . , And That's My One Desire . . .

Caveat: These are the words of A Mystic and are not meant to be perceived as indoctrination or religious. Spiritual . . . well . . . I suppose that's for you to decide.
In man five ‘powers’ exist, which are the agents of perception---that is to say, through these five powers, man perceives material things.
These are;
sight, which perceives visible forms;
hearing, which perceives audible sounds;
smell, which perceives odors;
taste, which perceives foods; and
feeling, which is all parts of the body and perceives tangible things.
These five powers perceive outward existences.
