K

Karma and the Soul

Each individual is a potential vessel of Cosmic Spirit and the World. Each opens according to his karma.

From the Book of the Wise


Karma of the Spirit and the Earthly

A student asked his teacher:

What is Karma?

A good place to start is to establish the unique form of the human soul, and ask How? Where did it come from? Then take a stone or piece of wood, anything all the way up to the animals, and we can trace them to something earthly. With man you come to yourself, and the self is the cause of your being, even in so far as the space you have live in within your self is your own and separate from the world. So now, what is the foundation of all other things, is not the same for a human being. So then start with the soul and work from that to the source of itself, and you come to the same source as the world was before the world was a world. This world man carries about with him, but he cannot see anything external that tells him anything of his inner world. If nature too, as spirit, approached the creations of the world and came to a man as an external being, she too would not be able to say why he thinks, or what he is thinking for that is within him. But when a man has befriended this same spirit by shaping his Karma so as to develop himself, then the world spirit joins with his soul. If this is a man's karma, then he is a spirit man, but if the man looks for his self as a body, then he is a man where only earthly karma is visible in him. He must train himself to look correctly for that which is spirit in him and in the world.


Knowing The Book of Life

Life is an open book for you to read it, you need to know the language,
For you to write in it, you need to know truth.
For you to know it, you need to be able to grow in the language and thoughts it presents.
To feel, you need another to know you as you are, and to see yourself you need love to guide you to the consciousness of your true being, and how it touches and fills others with life.


Knowing You Are A God

It is a flame which kills but gives new life,

unless a man-woman loses his life he cannot have a New Life,

what man would put new wine in an old skin.

Take off the old skin, and underneath is the new fresh skin and in that seeing

you will know you are a god.


Knowledge

"As light shines into darkness, darkness tries to find itself but cannot for the light. But Light has seen, is silent, and knows."

From the Book of the Sayings of the Students of the Spirit


L

Leadership

"A Leader who knows how to lead, knows well; that which is best to follow..."

From the Sayings of Students of Wisdom


Liars

To tell a lie, a liar must use the truth. If he sees a truth, the more wonderful the truth appears, the greater is the temptation to demolish it with craftily formed lies and corruption.  The man that knows the truth loves to follow the liar to discover his ingenius methods to conceal.

From the Book of the Wise


Light & Darkness

"Ever since the light began to shine into darkness, darkness tries to find itself but cannot. It wanders in through the World seeking the source of its own being.  And only light knows the secret and has never revealed it."

From the Book of the Sayings of the Students of the Spirit


Light-ego

The color illumined nature, finds the path of the light-ego.

Lightning, Behold the Secret!

"Brooding heat prepares the lightning strike": an inward turn and Will roots us to the spot!

When the spiritual world starts to grow, one feels like 'ran is coming'  before an oncoming downpour, it may thunder and crack with lightning, making fertile the ground and opening it,  and then the quiet as the drops appear one here and then there, and it crescendos and bursts ! Then the earth, the soul opens and is like a womb we have never experienced before this, and we may walk into it -if she allows us to follow, and invites us into her, to feel her magical and invisible power now visible for mortal eyes!

And there on some favorable days when warmth surrounds us: and we forget whatever we were, and feel being born anew! as a spirit-child with the mothers all around - in the trees, and the drops of rain, the light - all are her hands, and maidens and limbs working.
