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

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.


Listening to the Cosmic Spirit

To listen for the calling of the spirit is a challenge. To answer the call is another thing.


Little Accomplishments

Little advancements in one person add up when everyone is gripped by the spirit of accomplishment. Spirits of Fear and anxiety will ultimately wear down the soul and leave it it in a state of will-less-ness and weakness. One needs a keen eye to see these things and assist in the work of nature - even on human nature.


Living Spirit

It is no surprise the man of wisdom overcomes his fear of death.

He remembers well how much more difficult it was for him to enter into the physical world.

The man of spirit finds joy in work as a creator. Going back into the spirit is a celebration for it comes after his work on the earth as a man of wisdom.

He sees ahead how the good and wise spirits of heaven welcome him.


Love - Gospel of Phillip

‘Love…is the highest and vastest freedom. All exists through love. Spiritual love is a drunkenness and a balm; those who are anointed by it rejoice.’ Gospel of Philip


Love & Knowing

Knowledge finds meaning through love,  knowledge without love has much more to know.
