Greetings
****Many Blessing for gracing my page ****
Before requesting to be added as a friend lets exchange messages to get to know each other and if we share the same interest, or maybe to learn what interest that you may have that I would like to know more about****
~Should we connect in what ever it might be, it would be for the higher good for the both of us~

I don't believe in adding someone as a friend just to have a higher number on my list.

A quick, blunt, glance at me..

Spirit is everything to me...nothing comes before that...
And I have found in my life that the spiritual path is very wide when we first get on it but contrary to what many others believe, if we are sincere about progress it gets narrower and narrower... I have found that any drugs or alcohol are detrimental to the path..
----and---I quote~
"We have to be alert and vigilant as a watchman in a time of war. We have a war and that war is against the unfaithful ones, against the unbelievers. Those who do not believe in the Will of God are lust, anger, greed, pride, laziness, gluttony, fear, vanity and all of those defects that we have in abundance within, those are the unfaithful ones; the unbelievers, that we have to annihilate.

And that is why we have to be alert, because through the senses is how they act, through the mind is how they feed themselves and to change to eliminate them and to teach our consciousness under the Will of our God how to perform the Will of God, because if we observe ourselves we see that we are not performing the Will of God, we are performing the will of the mind. That is mechanicity; that is the mechanical mind that we have. To learn that is to know how to exercise our willpower. "
~from gnosis..........

As long as we continue to act like animals we will remain in the bondage of the collective...
We must love now more than ever.. This is the time to step up and face our evils head on.. It's not the time to make money and profit from spirituality but to give, dance, meditate and pray...Pray like our life depends on it, because it does.. Grow gardens and plant trees.. It's time to be afraid of what we have become and will become if we don't love ourselves, our planet and our ancestors, past and future. I don't believe in television or night clubs. I say that everything we have been taught is wrong, but that if we truly seek we will find. I study profoundly the teachings of Rumi, Amma, Buddha, Jesus, Krishna, The Dalai Lama, and the Gnostic tradition of Samael Aun Weor, and much more......
Changing water into wine is an alchemy that we can do with discipline and will power, but it means transforming the sexual waters of 'yesod' into the blood of the divine by raising them up the 33 vertebrae and offering them to our own individual Divine Mother.

We, on a whole have degenerated to behaving very decadently....We must stop what we are doing...We aren't ascending. Humanity is descending...The Earth is ascending but we are not...We must awaken and stop fantasizing ....


Oh, I almost forgot....... I put lots of esoteric information in the descriptions of my pictures in my photo folder~

If we become friends than I will appear, but if we do not than I am invisible.....

hands over heart.

I am you, and you are me....I am another you

...These are a Self Existing White Wizard's ramblings...
Tone 4: Self-Existing - Measure & Discipline

A reminder to myself:
White Wizard is a tool of the light, a conduit for the work of Spirit. A wise magician is spontaneous and transparent, allowing magic to come in rather than trying to control it or make it happen. A magician dances the dance of love through offering gifts of freedom to others. This is real magic. Freed from the need to use power to manipulate or control, a magician uses wisdom to manifest liberation and love.

"The real dirt is the attitude 'I am the doer,' which is hard to wash away. All powers are God's. A plant should not say: 'Look at my flower! How beautiful it is!' "

"When there is a curtain over the window, we cannot see the blue sky. If we remove the sense of 'I' from our mind, we will be able to see the light within us."

"The river is always flowing, but, having constructed a dam, we complain that we do not get water. We will get the constantly flowing Grace of God if the dam of ignorance and ego built by us is removed."

"The sun gets concealed by the clouds. In a like manner, God is concealed by our ego and vasanas (latent tendencies). He becomes visible when the dirt of those tendencies is removed."

"The weeds should be removed or the seeds will be destroyed. If we do sadhana (spiritual practices) without eradicating the ego, our sadhana is fruitless."

"Searching for God outside ourselves is like trying to catch fish by emptying the ocean. Therefore, become introspective and look within."

"If you keep pouring water into a bottle of ink, The colour slowly fades until finally you can't tell whether there was any ink in it. In the same way as the mind expands with the constant remembrance of God, the sense of individuality will dissolve and finally disappear. The individual mind becomes the Universal mind."

Those who don't feel this LOVE pulling them like a river,
those who don't drink dawn like a cup of springwater
or take in sunset like supper,
those who don't want to change,
let them sleep.
This love
is beyond the study of theology,
that old trickery and hypocrisy.
If you want to improve your mind that way, sleep on.
I've given up on my brain, I've torn the cloth to shreds
and thrown it away. If you're not completely naked, wrap your beautiful robe of words
around you,
and sleep......

I AM REALLY LIKE A TAMBOURINE

Good
Poetry
Makes the universe admit a
Secret:
"I am
Really just a tambourine,
Grab hold,
Play me
Against your warm
Thigh."


THIS SKY

This
Sky
Where we live
Is no place to lose your wings
So love, love
Love.



LIKE A LIFE GIVING SUN

You could become a great horseman

And help to free yourself and this world

Though only if you and prayer become sweet Lovers.

It is a naive man who thinks we are not engaged in a
fierce battle,

For I see and hear brave foot soldiers all around me
going mad,

Falling on the ground in excruciating pain,

You could become a victorious horseman

And carry your heart through this world like a life
giving sun,

Though only if you and God become sweet Lovers.

One who is able to swim in the ocean of delusion, and yet be untouched by it..

The last words he spoke after a speech were, "My India": "Where Ganges, woods, Himalayan caves and men dream God--I am hollowed; my body touched that sod!" He then lifted his eyes, entered mahasamadhi and exited his earthly body.

A disciple who felt that he had failed in a difficult spiritual test was reviling himself. The master said:
“Do not think of yourself as a sinner. To do so is a desecration of the divine image within you. Why identify yourself with your weaknesses? Instead, affirm the truth: I am a child of god. Pray to him: ‘naughty or good, I am thine own. Reawaken my memory of thee, o heavenly father!’”


Destroy all desire; get rid of the ego--- all this sounds very negative to me, master,” a student remarked. “Abandoning so much, what shall I have left?”
“Everything, really, because you shall be wealthy in spirit, the universal substance,” the master replied. “No longer a bewildered beggar, content with a crust of bread and a few bodily comforts, you shall have regained your sublime place as a son of the infinite father. That is not a negative state!”
He added, “Banishing the ego allows the true self to shine forth. Divine realization is a state impossible to explain, because nothing else can compare to it.”


When a certain student became sick, Paramhansa advised her to see a doctor, a disciple asked:
“Master, why didn’t you heal her?”
“Those who have received from god the power of healing use it only when he so commands,” the guru replied. “the lord knows that sometimes it is necessary for his children to undergo suffering. Men who want divine healing should be ready to live in accordance with god’s laws. No permanent healing is possible if a person continues to make the same mistakes and thus invites the return of disease.
“True healing is effected only through spiritual understanding,” he went on. “Man’s ignorance of his real nature or soul is the root cause of all other evils---physical, material, and mental.”


“Master, you have taught us not to pray for things, but to desire only that god reveal himself to us, should we never ask him to supply a particular need?” a disciple inquired.
“it is not wrong to tell the lord that we want something,” Paramhansaji replied, “but it shows greater faith if we simply say: ‘Heavenly father, I know that thou dost anticipate my every need. Sustain me according to thy will.’
“If a man is eager to own a car, for instance, and prays for it with sufficient intensity, he will receive it. But possession of a car may not be the best thing for him. Sometimes he intends to bestow on us a better gift.” He added, “Trust more in God. Believe that he who created you will maintain you.”


The master said to a group of disciples:
“The lord has arranged for us this visit to earth, but most of us become undesirable guests by considering certain things here as our very own. Forgetting the temporary nature of our stay, we form various attachments: ‘my home.’ ‘my work,’ ‘my money,’ ‘my family.’
“But when our earth-visa expires, all human ties vanish. We are forced to leave behind us all we had thought we possessed. The only one who accompanies us everywhere is our eternal relative, god.
“Realize now that you are the soul and not the body, why wait for death rudely to instruct you?”

Lord make me an instrument of Thy Peace;
Where there is hatred, let me sow love;
Where there is injury, pardon;
Where there is doubt, faith;
Where there is despair, hope;
Where there is darkness, light;
Where there is sadness, joy.

O Divine Master,
Grant that I may not so much seek
To be consoled as to console;
To be understood as to understand;
To be loved as to love:
For it is in giving that we receive,
It is in pardoning that we are pardoned
And it is in dying
That we are born to Eternal Life. Amen

10 And the disciples came, and said unto him, Why speakest thou unto them in parables?

11 He answered and said unto them, Because it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given.

12 For whosoever hath (Christ born within), to him shall be given (the mysteries), and he shall have more (development in) abundance: but whosoever hath not (Christ within), from him shall be taken away even that he hath.

13 Therefore speak I to them in parables: because they seeing see not; and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand. (because they are not awakening the consciousness)

14 And in them is fulfilled the prophecy of Esaias, which saith, By hearing ye shall hear, and shall not understand; and seeing ye shall see, and shall not perceive:

15 For this people's heart is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes they have closed; lest at any time they should see with their eyes and hear with their ears, and should understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them.

16 But blessed are your eyes, for they see: and your ears, for they hear. (for you are performing the teachings I the Christ have given, thus I the Christ am being born in you, and give you eyes to see and ears to hear what the Spirit saith unto the Churches)

17 For verily I say unto you, That many prophets and righteous men have desired to see those things which ye see, and have not seen them; and to hear those things which ye hear, and have not heard them.

Take, O Lord and receive my entire liberty,
My memory, my understanding and my whole will.
All that I am and all that I possess
You have given me:
I surrender it all to you
To be disposed of according to Your will.
Give me only Your love and Your grace;
With these I will be rich enough,
And will desire nothing more.

( St. Ignatius )

"A human being is a part of a whole, called by us _universe_, a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings as something separated from the rest... a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty."

"Homo Nosce Te Ipsum"

Man, know yourself and you will know the universe and it's Gods.

I have understood this body of mine to be the product of ignorance, composed of flesh and blood and lit up by the perceptive power of consciousness. To those fortunate ones who long for emancipation it may be the great vessel by which they may procure Freedom. But to the unfortunates who only sin, it may be the guide to lower and miserable states of existence. This our life is the boundary mark whence one may take an upward or downward path. Our present time is a most precious time, wherein each of us must decide, in one way or other, for lasting good or lasting ill.
~Milarepa

The idea of water cannot save a man dying of thirst. A belief in the existence of water cannot save him.
He needs to drink the water. This is to experience it practically. This is cognizant knowledge, Gnosis.
He needs the Gnosis of the water. He needs to drink it himself.

"Do not think that I came to bring peace on earth. I did not come to bring peace but a sword. For I have come to set a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law; and a man's enemies will be those of his own household. He who loves father or mother more than Me is not worthy of Me. And he who loves son or daughter more than Me is not worthy of Me. And he who does not take his cross and follow after Me is not worthy of Me. He who finds his life will lose it, and he who loses his life for My sake will find it."
Matthew 10, 34-39

“What causes wars, and what causes fighting among you? Is it not your passions that are at war in your members? You desire and do not have; so you kill. And you covet and cannot obtain; so you fight and wage war. You do not have, because you do not ask. You ask and do not receive, because you ask wrongly, to spend it on your passions.”
-James 4:1-3

“Nothing is sweeter than love; nothing higher, nothing stronger, nothing larger, nothing more joyful, nothing fuller, nothing better in heaven or on earth; for love descends from God, and may not finally rest in anything lower than God.”
-Thomas a Kempis

"The drama of Initiation is enclosed within the life of every Initiate."
"It is only among Initiates that we can understand each other correctly."
"In order to understand the Bible, one needs to be a Gnostic, because the Bible is a highly symbolic book, and if we try to read it in the Protestant style, like one who reads newspaper columns, we fall into the most terrible absurdities."
Samael Aun Weor

I pray with Rumi:

Oh Beloved,
take me.
Liberate my soul.
Fill me with your love and
release me from the two worlds.
If I set my heart on anything but you
let fire burn me from inside.

Oh Beloved,
take away what I want.
Take away what I do.
Take away what I need.
Take away everything
that takes me from you.

Man is a star bound to a body,
until in the end,
he is freed through his strife.
Only by struggle and toiling thy
utmost shall the star within thee
bloom out in new life.
He who knows the commencement of all things,
free is his star from the realm of night.
