PROLOGUE

 This section of aphorisms is a mergence of eastern and western religious and spiritual philosophy. These aphorisms are not as esoteric as some of their counter-parts. That is why they are more easily understood and applicable to people on the path of liberation from the dualistic nature of this plain of existence.

I thank you for your interest and application;

for as one grows we all grow.

 When studying these aphorisms contemplate their meanings. Think of how you can use them by applying them to one’s life and the myriad situations that arise. You do not have to think of all the situations; however by contemplating a few and figuring how to work them, you will be better prepared on how to use them, and how they apply. Study them one at a time until they become part of you, and then move to the next. You may skip around if you like since they are not in any specific order. Look through them all and find the ones that apply to the current now life situation and use it or them. Write them and their meanings down; say them out loud, until you feel you are integrated with them and them with you. The first fifty of these are the ones I am recommending all beginners to start with. If you have already partaken in studies for a while than by all means intake them all and apply them all now.

51. “Ease in life, of life, for life, comes in the acceptance of what can be done in the physical by Divine effort and what is forced ego manipulation than manifestation. The discernment to know the difference is the key that unlocks serenity's door thus allowing us to step through." 

52. “The mental body is designed to think; the emotional body is designed to feel, that is what they do. Just because they get conditioned to do so more in alignment with fear does not make it ok. Life without fear is Heaven. By practicing / applying the disciplines that revolve around the four main Yogas of life the pre conditioning gets renewed to a new mental emotional make up that is increment by increment less fearful and more in tune with feeling and thinking love.” 

53. “What is difficult is a perception; especially when it pertains to making a stand for right action. The difficulty lays in a person giving any kind of credence to another’s perception of one’s self. The ego is the culprit while the true self is the answer. As long as one chooses the ego; real Divine growth will be nonexistent, only worldly growth will take place.” 

54. “The ego is insidious, for when a perceived tragedy occurs it seeks blame first which often times without training muddles the water of observation for lesson learning.” 

55. "When one introspects; look past circumstances of events that caused the trauma to the heart of the situation within, and de-escalate any fears. This debunking process will allow one to stay more centrist so one can better transmute the fear into love and release the trauma. Thus one grows easier to the point of no suppression and no repression.”  

56. “In order to be the love and change needed in life one must be able to focus more on the permanent subtle energies, and bring those into play to better effect the impermanent energies of this temporal existence. Once this is done and a momentum is gained, the invoking and or embracing of change for the better become second nature and eventually first nature.” 

57. “If you only bend and prostrate the physical, and not the internal; then what good are you? If you are pliable internally then the Divine one can really use you.” 

58. “The multifaceted gem of Divine Love is the only True consuming fuel for real growth; the more one understands and uses the many facets the more one grows, and has real soul evolution.” 

59. “Let not your fears rule so you are then not swayed by the world.”

61. “Thy words are like grains of salt giving sustenance to the torch of love that darken even the sun in the midday sky.”

62. “Oh how we can see yet be blinded by our fallen bodies if we allow and if we do not then see for true we do. Then our glory comes to fruition as the true beings we are.”

63. “I see who you are for I see within; past the veils that blanket what we are by mere viewing of the clay. However long it takes let us strive for the illumined gold that divine alchemy dictates by loving love’s holy momentum no matter what transpires during our candle’s burning.”

64. “What we are is permanent; what we have is temporal. If we focus on the brief then pain wins out and life is suffering. Yet when we focus on the real the illusion of suffering is seen and no longer hinders love’s path. Thus we suffer not while suffering life’s fate.”

65. “Know that living life in a place of love, radiating love, and performing seva/service from love breaks down the ego / energy veils of illusion. Then one steps out of the reflection and into the Divine true being one is. At that point the ego is truly whittled and fear is dissipated to a sliver.”

66. “As a rose turns from a hardened bud to a soft-pedaled flower full of sweet fragrances, so does a spiritual aspirant unfold as they embrace the Divine and start the understanding of Love and its many facets.”

67. "Freedom springs from Truth, Wisdom springs from Love of Truth, and Selflessness springs from sacrifice to know Truth."
