Thoughts



~Mohammed Neguib~
Religion is a candle inside a multicolored lantern.
Everyone looks through a particular color, but the candle is always there.
~Albert Einstein~
My religion consists of a humble admiration of the illimitable
superior spirit who reveals himself in the slight details we are
able to perceive with our frail and feeble mind.
~D.H. Lawrence~
It is a fine thing to establish one's own religion in one's heart,
not to be dependent on tradition and second-hand ideals.
Life will seem to you, later, not a lesser, but a greater thing.
~Thomas Paine~
The world is my country, all mankind are my brethren, and to do good is my religion.

~Kahlil Gilbran~
"The Prophet"
Pg. 80

Then Almitra spoke, saying,
We would ask now of Death.
And he said:
You would know the secret of death.
But how shall you find it unless you seek it in the heart of life?
The owl whose night-bound eyes are blind unto the day
cannot unveil the mystery of light.
If you would indeed behold the spirit of death,
open your heart wide unto the body of life.
For life and death are one, even as the river and the sea are one.
In the depth of your hopes and desires lies your silent knowledge of the beyond;
And like seeds dreaming beneath the snow, your heart dreams of spring.
Trust the dreams, for in them is hidden the gate to eternity.

~Marina Medici~
The 4 Powers of the Magus
"Good Magic" Pg. 19

Knowledge
The voice of your inner wisdom.  The part in you that knows.
It is not learned or taught knowledge.
It is not acquired knowledge... it is to be lived & experienced.

Courage
When your own, inner truth challenges ideas & preconceptions you have lived with for a long time,
you will need courage to follow it.

Will
Keeps you on the path, fending off distractions that can take you away.

Silence
The ability to shut off the noise of the mind, the constant thoughts & worries.
 Without silence, you will not hear your inner voice.

~Benjamin Disraeli~
To be conscious that you are ignorant is a great step to knowledge.
~Abd-el-Kader~
It is with a word as with an arrow - once let it loose and it does not return.

~Scott Adams~
"The Dilbert Principle"

Creativity is allowing yourself to make mistakes.
Art is knowing which ones to keep.

~Obi-Wan Kenobi~
"Star Wars Episode IV - A New Hope"

Who is more foolish;
The fool or the fool who follows it?
