The Blind Men and the Elephant
(Please consider the underlying message of the following Zen story.)
"Several citizens ran into a hot argument about God and different religions, and each one could not agree to a common answer. So they came to the Buddha to find out what exactly God looks like. The Buddha asked his disciples to get a large magnificent elephant and four blind men. He then brought the four blind to the elephant and told them to find out what the elephant would "look" like. The first blind man touched the elephants leg and reported that it "looked" like a pillar. The second blind man touched the elephants stomach and said that the elephant was a wall. The third blind man touched the elephant's ear and said that it was a piece of cloth. The fourth blind man held on to its tail and described the elephant as a piece of rope. And all of them ran into a hot argument about the "appearance" of an elephant. The Buddha asked the citizens: "Each blind man had touched the elephant but each of them gives a different description of the animal. Which answer is right?"
The wise would always mind this story's wisdom when viewing the worlds separate accounts of any common issue or discussion.

Sayings of the Ancients
'The Buddha'
"Holding on to anger is like grasping a hot coal with the intent of throwing it at someone else, you are the one who is getting burned."
"The mind is everything. What you think you become."
"We are what we think. All that we are arises with our thoughts. With our thoughts, we make our world."

Thoth
"Know ye, O man, that all that exists is only an aspect of greater things yet to come. Matter is fluid and flows like a stream, constantly changing from one thing to another."
"Know ye that which is formed truly is formless, having form only to thine eyes."
"Know I now that the formless is all there is of form."

'The Gnostic Jesus'
These selections highlight the obvious gnostic truth and deeper understanding of Jesus's true message. Many of the verses are taken from the book of Thomas, which has been confirmed and validated via the dead sea scrolls as being the original and earliest accepted text by the original followers of Jesus. The Gospel of the apostle Thomas predates the four traditionally accepted canonical gospels that the later established structures of men would prefer you to read. The truth is visible to the eye that will see...
The Gospel of Thomas (Verse 3) Jesus said, "If your leaders say to you, 'Look, the (Father's) kingdom is in the sky,' then the birds of the sky will precede you. If they say to you, 'It is in the sea,' then the fish will precede you. Rather, the (Father's) kingdom is within you and it is outside you. When you know yourselves, then you will be known, and you will understand that you are SONS of the living Father."

Hermes Trismegistus
"To understand is to believe, to not believe is not to understand."
"TAT: Is God then in matter, 0 father?
HERMES: Where could matter be placed if it existed apart from God [who is infinite]? Would it not be but a confused mass, unless it were ordered? And if it is ordered, by whom is it ordered? The energies which operate in it are parts of God. Whether you speak of matter or bodies or substance, know that all these are the energy of God, of the God who is all. In the All there is nothing which is not God. Adore this teaching, my child, and hold it sacred."
"God is Maker of all things, and in His making, He maketh all [at last] like to Himself...
...keeping them within itself, may make all manifest, and [then] dissolving them, make them all new again; and thus, like a Good Gardener of Life, things that have been dissolved, it taketh to itself, and giveth them renewal once again.
There is no thing to which it gives not life; but taking all unto itself it makes them live, and is at the same time the Place of Life and its Creator. "
For this cause can a man dare say that man on earth is god subject to death."
-Hermes Trismegistus-

What is 'Life' according to the Egyptian Mystery Schools?
What is life? In the course of reason it is only logical that one may feel the inevitable inclination to address the question of ‘self’.

This book attempts to address and answer the question of life's very nature as it has been understood and taught by the ancient Egyptian Mystery Schools for thousands of years. This book also examines the amazing ground breaking sciences that are coming forth to further reinforce and validate the notions of these ancient schools of thought. There is more to life than most have ever contemplated. This book provides the reader a chance to awaken to the inner nature of their divine and eternal heritage.

Primary Perception, The 'Talking Plants'
Everything is alive and modern science is proving it. In 1966 Cleve Backster conducted his now famous experiment in which he attached a polygraph machine to a plant and was amazed to see that it was alive and was reading out in much the same way a human polygraph readout would display. Backster went on to experiment with biocommunication in plant and animal cells, which led to his theory of "primary perception."
These amazing plants have the ability to sense the thoughts and moods of humans, they display signs of 'stress' when other plants or animals are harmed. They remember those who have harmed other plants and begin to become 'stressed' by there presence. These plants are alive in ways that modern science is only beginning to understand. Yet many of the worlds ancient masters of many creeds spoke frequently and emphasized the interconnected oneness of all life. That everything is connected to an underlying common mind or source. The one source... "The ALL." (God)

Hermetic Understanding of the Mental Universe and Reality
"The infinite mind of The ALL, is the womb of universes."
"While it is true that the ALL is in all, it is equally true that the ALL is within ALL." "..And, in the degree that Man realizes the existence of the Indwelling Spirit immanent within his being, so will he rise in the spiritual scale of life. This is what spiritual development means-the recognition, realization, and manifestation of the Spirit within us. Try to remember this last definition-that of spiritual development. It contains the Truth of True Religion." "As above, So Below." -The Kybalion- |
