M

Morality

The immoral complain often about the immorality of others, but the moral complain not at all, but they listen, for to them it is like a fish that hears what others say about the ocean in which he swims.

From the Book of Olympus


N

Nature Spirits and Nature Beings

The nature beings are one great help for growing students. They are the 'surprize' and blessing of the soul. They work in the lighted substances that are formed through inspirations and enthusiasm when we balance with cosmic forces and nature beings, and nature spirits that begin to flow above and around the lotus-chakra developments.


New Thoughts

The student asked the Teacher; How do I make New thoughts?

Old thoughts die, or disappear, or move into elements.  Thoughts begin as a seed you may plant in your darkness, as a little star or island of knowing in the vast unknown. The thought knows itself in the seed, and feels it there. The seed tastes, and discovers all that is new for it. At first fear - but the mother of it touches it from afar. The mother has a knowledge it activates in the seed. The seed has intuition! And the thought eats the darkness around it and becomes illumined and shines in the soul it is born.

From the Book of Sages


P

Peace

Love is the sweetest gift of heaven to man,

If we use with wisdom,

Peace is ours.

Sayings of the Wise


Peace and Wisdom

Peace and goodness will happen because we know and act through the spirit of wisdom. The study of wisdom leads to good thoughts, then to good contemplation, then good practice, good words, and then good deeds - then harmony, health and wellbeing.  If it is not that, then back to the beginning and start over.

From the Book of the Happy Buddha


Perpetual Love

Love that forms between the soul and the spirit in man forms over time a Self-consciousness that feels more and more to be growing in an invisible spiritual stream of light.  This self-discovery itself in itself and forms thoughts, ideas, and moves between realms of time and space to the imperishable and incomprehensible. 

It is here and there. It is the source of anxiety in those that are called by it. By understanding it, nurturing it, and loving its power, one is by degrees led into the higher realms above the world below.  

To create from it new time, new space, new vitality, is also to discover it is self propagating, and forms the basis for perpetual love and knowledge. 


Philosophy and Science

You cannot be a scientist if you merely interpret nature; you have to investigate the very tool which you use for that interpretation - this tool is thinking.

Rudolf.Steiner


Poetry of Wisdom

Wisdom makes the opportunity for us to hear spirit poetry play up within us and to sing beautiful thoughts as a breath of life into our inner atmosphere.

From the Book of Wisdom


Prayer of My Heart.

Make my soul Thy temple!
Make my heart Thine altar!
Make my love Thy home!

May Thy love shine forever on the sanctuary of my devotion,
and may I be able to awaken Thy love in all hearts.

Paramhansa Yogananda

Rays From The Realm of Wisdom

We do not think in terms of boundaries but in taking them away...whether in religion or politics, or families and friends, small groups or large groups, the spirit of our work is to shine the light of Wisdom, patience, tolerance, forgiveness, balance, and to bring these into focus for our inner self and help others to operate under the same light of the spirit.

To do this in as loving a way as possible is the sacrifice demanded of us as modern students of the spirit, and through persistence we know we achieve the goal of our work when others respond to us with kindness, and with joy at the gifts we bring and share with all who seek Wisdom with us together.

May your soul be filled with ever new insights into the Realm of Living Wisdom.
