A Spiritual Philosophy Of Self Knowledge

http://www.mythsdreamssymbols.com/spiritualgnosis.html

Excerpts from one of several translations of the Gnostic Gospel of Thomas:

"These are the secret sayings which the living Jesus spoke and which Didymos Judas Thomas wrote down.

(1) And he said, "Whoever finds the interpretation of these sayings will not experience death."

(2) Jesus said, "Let him who seeks continue seeking until he finds. When he finds, he will become troubled. When he becomes troubled, he will be astonished, and he will rule over the All."...

(8) And he said, "The man is like a wise fisherman who cast his net into the sea and drew it up from the sea full of small fish. Among them the wise fisherman found a fine large fish. He threw all the small fish back into the sea and chose the large fish without difficulty. Whoever has ears to hear, let him hear."...

(30) Jesus said, "Where there are three gods, they are gods. Where there are two or one, I am with him."...

(48) Jesus said, "If two make peace with each other in this one house, they will say to the mountain, 'Move Away,' and it will move away."...

(114) Simon Peter said to him, "Let Mary leave us, for women are not worthy of life." Jesus said, "I myself shall lead her in order to make her male, so that she too may become a living spirit resembling you males. For every woman who will make herself male will enter the kingdom of heaven."

I Know How To Explain What Is Going On ;)

Welcome to the human race. Nobody controls his own life... The best you can do is choose to fill the roles given to you by good people, by people who love you. Ender's Game

Follow your passion; the rest will take care of itself.

I learned something about obsession… I learned it isn’t madness or even foolishness, though madness and foolishness have given it a bad name. How could anyone who wasn’t obsessed compose a symphony or write a thousand-page novel? How could anyone who wasn’t obsessed cross an uncharted ocean in a seventy-foot sailboat?
--After Dachau

Everything is connected... Even when you think it isn't. Sometimes it's obvious, sometimes it's subtle, and sometimes it's paradoxical. It may take generations to see those connections, and longer still to understand them. Or those things may simply come all at once in a flash of insight.
--Taking Wing

Everyone’s life is a mess. Everyone’s. We all make mistakes… and not just little slip-ups. Major mistakes that hurt us and other people. We all go down wrong paths because we don’t know better… or because we’re too lazy, lonely, and afraid to change… No matter how tempting avoidance may be, you have to confront life… If you don’t, your problems just fester. Nothing gets cleaned up. The messes you’ve made just grow worse.

Telling Someone How You Feel

"Time goes by so fast, people go in and out of your life. Never miss an opportunity to tell people how much they mean to you.Doing so is important because we never know when our lives will end, and we especially never know when the lives of others will end"

The Labyrinth

"You are responsible for all of your experiences of life."

This statement is absolutely true but it is somewhat of a trick. The trick is that it does not say "in life" but "of life." You are not responsible for everything that happens to you, but you are responsible for how you react to what does happen to you. The formula is that, "Life acts. You react." Your reaction is under your control. In any life situation you are always responsible for at least one thing. You are always responsible for the attitude towards the situation in which you find yourself. Your attitude is your reaction to what life hands you. You can have either a more positive or a more negative attitude. Your attitude is under your control and can be changed. With the right attitude you can be a resilient person.

I-AM-OK

Today is perfect. It is a day which cannot be improved upon, unless tou are comparing it with the dead past or the imagined future, neither of which really exist.

Diary of Dreams

“And dreams in their development have breath,
And tears, and tortures, and the touch of joy;
They have a weight upon our waking thoughts,
They take a weight from off our waking toils,
They do divide our being.”
Lord Byron

"Es steht die Luft hier in der Schwebe
Als ob der Windhauch nicht mehr lebe
Die Stille schmerzt in meinen Ohren
Ich wünscht' ich hätt' dich nicht verloren" 333)

My Treasured Friend

Treasured friend, I’m glad I found you;
Our friendship is a gift we share.
I can be myself around you,
Safe in your love and care.


I miss you when you’re out of sight;
Our friendship bond was meant to be.
I think of you with great delight;
You’re almost part of me.


Through fun and fears, play and tears,
We help each other heal and grow.
I prize our time--the days, the years,
More than you can know.


Just harmony for me and you,
The two of us--a perfect blend.
I’ll cherish you my whole life through,
My dear and treasured friend.
