"No one saves us, no one can and no one may. We ourselves must walk the path."
"Teach this triple truth to all: a kind speech, a generous heart, and a life of service and compassion to others. These are the things the renews humanity." "The Way is not in the Sky. The Way is in the HEART." "There are only two mistakes that one can commit along the road to truth; not going all the way and not starting at all." "We are shaped by our thoughts; we become what we think. when the Mind is pure, Joy follows like a shadow that never leaves." "You will not be punished for your anger, You will be punished by your anger." "You yourself, as much as anybody in the entire Universe, deserves your love and affection." -The Buddha |

The Eight Book: The Greatest Evil in Man is the Not Knowing God
1. WHITHER are you carried, O Men, drunken with drinking strong Wine of Ignorance? which seeing you cannot bear, why do you vomit it up again? 2. Stand, and be sober, and look up again with the Eyes of your heart, and if you cannot all do so, yet do so many as you can. 3. For the malice of Ignorance surroundeth all the Earth, and corrupteth the Soul, shut up in the Body, not suffering it to arrive at the Havens of Salvation. 4. Suffer not yourselves to be carried with the Great Stream, but stem the tide you that can lay hold of the Haven of Safety, and make your full course towards it. 5. Seek on that may lead you by the hand, and conduct you to the door of Truth and Knowledge, where the clear Light is that is pure from Darkness, where there is not one drunken, but all are sober, and in their heart look up to him, whose pleasure it is to be seen. 6. For he cannot be heard with ears, nor seen with eyes, nor expressed in words; but only in mind and heart. 7. But first thou must tear to pieces, and break through the garment thou wearest, the web of Ignorance; the foundation of all Mischief; the bond of Corruption; the dark Coverture; the living Death; the sensible Carcass; the Sepulchre, carried about with us; the domestical Thief, which in what he loves us, hates us, envies us. 8. Such is the hurtful Apparel, wherewith thou art clothed, which draws and pulls thee downward by its own self, lest looking upward and seeing the beauty of Truth, and the Good that is reposed therein, thou shouldst hate the wickedness of this Garment and understand the traps and ambushes which it had laid for thee. 9. Therefore doth it labour to make good those things that seem, and are by the senses, judged and determined; and the things that are truly, it hides, and envelopeth in much matter, filling what it presents unto thee, with hateful pleasure, that thou canst neither hear what thou shouldst hear, nor see what thou shouldst see. The Divine Pymander, by Hermes Mercurius Trismegistus, tr. by John Everard [1650] |

We are not born perfect: every day we develop in our personality and in our calling till we reach the highest point of our completed being, to the full round of our accomplishments, of our excellences. This is known by the purity of our taste, the clearness of our thought, the maturity of our judgment, and the firmness of our will. Some never arrive at being complete; somewhat is always awanting: others ripen late. The complete man, wise in speech, prudent in act, is admitted to the familiar intimacy of discreet persons, is even sought for by them.
The Art of Worldly Wisdom, by Balthasar Gracian, tr. by Joseph Jacobs, [1892] |

If the poor human race
Were not so arrogant It would have been given much good From my mother’s heritage, But because the human race will not take heed It lies in such straits And must be held in prison. And yet my dearest mother Will not regard their mischief, She leaves her lovely gifts That many a man might come to the light, Though this may chance but seldom That they be better prized Nor reckoned as mere fable. - The Chemical Wedding |

Humility is that line of conduct which is a mean between overbearing pride on the one hand and abject servility on the other, as economy is the middle term between extravagance and avarice.
Humility is the crown of nobility, a ladder to honour, and a means of procuring love and esteem. He who humbleth himself, God lifteth him up. When Abu-Bekr, "the righteous" (the first Khalif), was praised, he used to say: "O God, Thou knowest me better than I know myself, and I know myself better than they know me. Make me, I pray Thee, better than they suppose; forgive me what they know not, and lay not to my account what they say." A wise man was once asked whether he knew of any good which is not coveted, or any evil which deserves no mercy, and he said: "Yes, they are humility and pride." To despise a proud man is true humility. Arabian Wisdom, by John Wortabet, 1913 |

Moses was indebted for his knowledge to the mother of the Egyptian princess, Thermuthis, who saved him from the waters of the Nile. The wife of Pharaoh, ***** Batria, was an initiate herself, and the Jews owe to her the possession of their prophet, "learned in all the wisdom of the Egyptians, and mighty in words and deeds." ****** Justin Martyr, giving as his authority Trogus Pompeius, shows Joseph as having acquired a great knowledge in magical arts with the high priests of Egypt. - Isis Unveiled

"The bodies and the soul of men are finite things, and they will change, yea, from the finite point of view the time will come when they will be no more. "But man himself is not the body, nor the soul; he is a spirit and is part of God. -from The Aquarian Gospel
