littles wanting-more energy
Pornography is just 'fast-food feminine energy', it will always leave you wanting more, with little or no nutritional value. There is nothing ful-filling about pornography, it pales in insignificance to a fully embodied loving woman.
mind robots problem
Beauty is and always is. You are absent. Why are you absent? Again your robot mind is the problem. It will not stay still and you cannot make it stay still. It is your master and it separates you from beauty and God.
truth agreement doe
Truth does not need argument, agreement, theories or beliefs. There is only one test for it and that is to ask yourself 'Is the statement true or false in my experience?.
knows
No religion knows the truth. Only he or she who lives it knows.
brain world mystery
There is a notion that existence is an illusion. Existence is not an illusion. Existence is a projection from the inner through the brain producing the outer sensory world of what is - an amazing complete mystery.
truth way observation
The only way we can ever get through to the truth is by finding out what we are not. We do that by looking, by observation.
truth believe helping
You must not believe anyone in the search for truth; you have to find out for yourself. But although you are on your own, help will come when it is really needed.
life moving love-is
Love is all around you like the air and is the very breath of your being. But you cannot know it, feel its unfeeling touch, until you pause in your busy-ness, are still and poised and empty of your wanting and desiring. When at rest the air is easily offended and will flee even from the fanning of a leaf, as love flees from the first thought. But when the air or love moves of its own accord it is a hurricane that drives all before it.
life children parent
All love - love of children, love of parents, love of God or life - comes out of making physical love. Without the making of love there is no body to love anything.
spiritual frustration levels
You can't realise love or yourself until you are still enough to drop down through the restlessness and frustrations into that deeper level of your being
said statements
Anything that is said is not the truth. It is a statement of truth, and no statement is the truth.
effort waiting preparation
You can only get next to God through the effort of preparation. To experience the uncreated, the state of awareness will have to be held for several minutes. You are then between time and the time-less - waiting for the unknown, which will come but cannot be willed.
taught ready persons
Truth cannot be taught but it is quickly recognised by the person ready to discover it.
