I have not yet posted any experiences, insights, applications or meditations in reference to the original post, namely:


"If you bring forth what is within you, what you bring forth will save you. If you do not bring forth what is within you, what you do not bring forth will destroy you."
-Gospel of Thomas (Nag Hammadi/Gnostic Text)


I do, however, wish to add upon said subject matter before making any comments. There is very little that can be gained when things are done in haste, therefore, I would humbly ask for your patience. Inner truth can only come from deep meditation, meaningful contemplation and individual revelation. No matter how much time has been allotted to it in the past, the present moment can always shine new light to an already 'self mastered' truth.


"The divine strain hums all around us, yet we are of so gross a nature that we hear it not! Only by entering into the divine silence and closing our ears to the world of illusions can we catch the celestial melody, or else we are but yielding to the illusions of our imagination and reaping bitter misery. The discovery of 'self ' is first of all an act of inward retirement; it is what is termed the going in. ..
Then the outward universe withdraws and fades away as does the most beautiful scenery when the play is too dramatic, but soon we experience the joy of the revelation; the universe is now no longer an object outside of ourselves, an enigma to be solved; we no longer contemplate it from without, but from within. Its secret is our secret. This discovery, far from causing us a sense of misery, becomes a source of confidence and of light and we soon begin to suffer when we refuse to draw from this well! So then, after having lived long in the world as a stranger, he who takes refuge in solitude perceives a new world welcoming him, an by an by obtains the direct perception of superior planes."

"God speaks to the ears of every heart, but it is not every heart that hears him; nevertheless, he who seeks, finds-sooner or later-and to everyone is given the meeting he deserves. It is the destiny of every being to germinate in the dark-as the germ of wheat-and to die in the light. But this death, far from being an annihilation, is in reality 'a new birth'!

-The Path of the Masters, Radha Soami Satsang Beas



"Neither shall they say, Lo here! or lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you."

-Jesus the Christ



"The Supreme Personality of Godhead said: O Partha, when a man gives up all varieties of desire for sense gratification, which arise from mental concoction, and when his mind, thus purified, finds satisfaction in the self alone, then he is said to be in pure transcendental consciousness."
-Bhagavad Gita



"Discussing God is not the best use of our energy. If we touch the Holy Spirit, we touch God not as a concept but as a living reality. In Buddhism, we never talk about nirvana, because nirvana means the extinction of all notions, concepts, and speech. We practice by touching mindfulness in ourselves through sitting meditation, walking meditation, mindful eating, and so on. We observe and learn to handle our body, breathing, feelings, mental states, and consciousness. Living mindfully, shining the light of our awareness on everything we do, we touch the Buddha, and our mindfulness grows."

-Thich Nhat Hanh



Quotes can easily be endless. The last thing we want is to only entertain such beautiful truth instead of becoming one with them through application and practice. There have been countless sages, prophets, teachers, gurus and finally Masters throughout the aeon's. Attempting to mention more than a handful becomes redundant. No matter what the discipline, universal truth embodied within the Divine stands at the head. We, as children, literal offspring of the Divine Father and Mother, whose eyes have seen and ears have heard, have the great honor, privilege, duty and responsibility of gathering all that is truth, circumscribing it to the one great whole that it truly is, and in this realizing God(s) while living on this earth.


Be Well, Be One.
Peace & Blessings.
