Awareness

One of the steps towards reclaiming your Innate Freedom: ever-increasing awareness:

“And when each day is the same as the next it’s because people fail to recognize the good things that happen in their lives every day that the sun rises.”

Paulo Coelho (Brazilian Writer, 1947-)

This is form a favorite book: The Alchemist

“The Alchemist” (Paulo Coelho)

What We Most Need to Change

“I have come to realize more and more that the greatest disease and the greatest suffering is to be unwanted, unloved, uncared for, to be shunned by everybody, to be just nobody to no one.”

–Mother Teresa of Calcutta (Albanian-born Indian Nun, Humanitarian and, in 1979, Winner of the Nobel Peace Prize, 1910-1997)          


“My Life for the Poor: Mother Teresa of Calcutta” (Ballantine Books)

The Flow of Power

“Power! Did you ever hear of men being asked whether other souls should have power or not? It is born in them. You may dam up the fountain of water, and make it a stagnant marsh, or you may let it run free and do its work; but you cannot say whether it shall be there; it is there. And it will act, if not openly for good, then covertly for evil; but it will act.”    

–Olive Schreiner (a.k.a. Ralph Iron, South African-born Writer and Feminist, 1855-1920)

Being Like a Star

This may sound like a recipe for disaster, but actually it is not. If you really feel your path, then you don’t infringe on others and you certainly don’t descend into a pit of selfishness! Crowley wrote this after years of studying – and understanding – Daoist philosophy.

“Every human being should be like a star and follow his own path. A star is free so long as it follows its trajectory. The loss of freedom only begins with departure from the path.”

–Aleister Crowley (English Writer, Poet and Occultist, 1875-1947)

Absorb the Light

“A person wishing to develop properly should first of all absorb light correctly, then heat, then air, and finally sold food for the body.”    

–Peter Konstantinov Deunov (a.k.a. Master Beinsa Douno, Bulgarian Spiritual Master and Founder of a School of Esoteric Christianity, 1864-1944)   

“Prophet for Our Times: The Life and Teachings of Peter Deunov” (Peter Duenov)

A Single Undivided Whole

“Ultimately, the entire universe has to be understood as a single undivided whole.”

–David Bohm (American-born Theoretical Physicist and Philosopher, 1917-1992)


“RC Series Bundle: Wholeness and the Implicate Order” (David Bohm)

The Fruits of Completion

“You have a purpose only as long as you are not complete; until then, completeness, perfection, is the purpose. But when you are complete in yourself, fully integrated within and without, then you enjoy the Universe; you do not labor at it.”  

–Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj (Indian Spiritual Teacher and Exponent of Jnana Yoga and Advaita Doctrine, 1897-1981)   

Exploring or Recognizing

Andre Breton.jpg




“Perhaps I am doomed to retrace my steps under the illusion that I am exploring, doomed to try and learn what I should simply recognize, learning a mere fraction of what I have forgotten.”     

–André Breton (French Surrealist, 1889-1966)   

Seeing in Cycles

“What really matters are not fascinating details to be memorized by the curious mind, but the gaining of a whole view of cosmic, planetary, and human evolution. It is to be able to ‘see’ or even feel this evolution, with its interconnecting cycles and subcycles, microcosmic as well as macrocosmic.”     

–Dane Rudhyar (a.k.a. Daniel Chenneviere, French-born American Composer, Theosophist and Astrologer, 1895-1985)    

“Occult Preparations for a New Age (A Quest book)” (Dane Rudhyar)

The Need for Myths

“Myths and legends die hard in America. We love them for the extra dimension they provide, the illusion of near-infinite possibility to erase the narrow confines of most men’s reality. Weird heroes and mold-breaking champions exist as living proof to those who need it that the tyranny of “the rat race” is not yet final.”       

–Hunter S. Thompson (American Journalist and Writer, 1937-2005)
