Anton Sammut
“You religious men who boast so much that you live on charity including what the poor manage to scrape together out of their meagre income - how can you justify your actions? How can your moral conscience be clear when you acknowledge that in no way do you contribute to the society that is maintaining you, day after day? In your self complacent conceit, you denigrate and harshly condemn, those who, with their sweat and hard work, provide you with a life fit for a king. What is the reason you spend your lives living comfortably in some ashram or isolated monastery when life only makes sense if it is experienced with your fellow brothers and sisters by showing compassion to them? It is easy and simple enough to spend your lives meditating in the Himalayas being irritated by nothing and no one if not the occasional goat, rather than placing yourselves in the midst of your fellow men and living an ordinary life of toil as they do. Do not delude yourselves, because what you refer to as a state of internal peace represents nothing but the personal satisfaction of the conscious ego that is admiring and adoring itself..”
Anton Sammut, The Secret Gospel of Jesus, AD 0-78

“Remember that the Tarot is a great and sacred arcanum - its abuse is an obscenity in the inner and a folly in the outer. It is intended for quite other purposes than to determine when the tall dark man will meet the fair rich widow.”
Jack Parsons

“Existence is larger than any model that is not itself the exact size of existence....”

Dalai Lama XIV
“People take different roads seeking fulfillment and happiness. Just because they're not on your road does not mean they are lost. - Dalai Lama”

Remy de Gourmont
“To acquire the full consciousness of self is to know oneself so different from others that no longer feels allied with men except by purely animal contacts: nevertheless, among souls of this degree, there is an ideal fraternity based on differences,--while society fraternity is based on resemblances.
The full consciousness of self can be called originality of soul, -and all this is said only to point out the group of rare beings to which Andre Gide belongs.
The misfortune of these beings, when they express themselves, is that they do it with such odd gestures that men fear to approach them; their life of social contacts must often revolve in the brief circle of ideal fraternities; or, when the mob consents to admit such souls, it is as curiosities or museum objects. Their glory is, finally, to be loved from afar & almost understood, as parchments are seen & read above sealed cases.”
Remy de Gourmont, The Book of Masks

Cristen Rodgers
“Solitude is an unmarked place beyond the borders of the map, a place where most fear to tread. It’s no surprise, then, that this is where the greatest secrets and most valuable treasures are hidden.”
Cristen Rodgers

“A rose by any other name
Would never, never smell the same
And cunning is the nose that knows
An onion that's been called a rose.”
Wendell Johnson

Chandel L. White
“Long before there was ever a King James Version of our Bible, there was a gospel truth...and long before doctrines and denominations, the preeminence of the gospel was already ripe to harvest. Before man had ever thought about creating symbols to represent spiritual things...there was a gospel.”
Chandel L. White, Romans to Jude - Precise Christian Scripture Revealed

“He who has no labels
Is He who understands.”

Hendrith Vanlon Smith Jr.
“Once again, here Jesus is creating value for others – and doing so literally by turning less into more – by multiplying his capital. And how does he turn less into more? How does he multiply his capital? He does it by giving thanks to God, and immediately taking practical actions. Here Jesus is again pairing the esoteric with the practical.”
Hendrith Vanlon Smith Jr, 4 Business Lessons From Jesus: A businessmans interpretation of Jesus' teachings, applied in a business context.

“When You Let your Human Sleep your 'Spirit' Awakens.”

J.L.  Haynes
“One morning, a young Taoist priest named Silent Thunder Ghost ran up mount Mianshan to see a Taoist Immortal. The trail was long and arduous, and along the way many perilous paths were obscured by the morning mists. Arriving at the mountain peak he found the one called He Who Hides in Clouds, trying to balance a twisted, gnarly wooden staff on top of his finger. 'Dry me a wooden mountain…' said the Immortal who then threw his staff at least a mile high into the sky, whereupon the sun seemingly appeared from nowhere sending golden beams of sunlight onto his face. 'If it was me, and that was my go at life, I don’t think I’d want to do it again,' he said laughing, then he looked at his visitor. 'You are here to tell me you are making progress no doubt, have you found the Tao?'
Unable to conceal his excitement Silent Thunder Ghost replied, 'I am no longer blind. I know the Tao and its ten thousand gifts. I live, I breathe, I see, I am life, I am the mountains, the morning dew on the trees, the moonlight reflecting in the lake, the starlight in my eyes, all these things are mine. My awareness is within me but reaches out to the furthest reaches of space.'
As soon as he said this the gnarly old staff fell back to Earth, whereupon He Who Hides in Clouds caught it deftly with one hand and went on to press the tip against Silent Thunder Ghost’s chest. The Immortal said, 'All things are yours except your heart… the Tao keeps that part all to itself.' And then he vanished quite slowly and as he disappeared Silent Thunder Ghost was left holding the gnarly old staff, wondering if the conversation had ever really happened at all.”

G.I. Gurdjieff
“The theory of esotericism is that mankind consists of two circles: a large, outer circle, embracing all human beings, and a small circle of instructed and understanding people at the center. Real instruction, which alone can change us, can only come from this center.”
G.I. Gurdjieff, Views from the Real World

Master Del Pe
“The Dark Night is intended by the Soul to shift the ground where it has to lay the foundation for its next big step. This step is a requirement to pass certain spiritual initiation or awakening.”
Master Del Pe, Beyond The Dark Night of the Soul - Master Del Pe

Master Del Pe
“Every level of spiritual achievement comes with price and its own reward. But, the bottom line is to keep on moving in the inner work and journey. The moment the traveler becomes stuck in the same level and enjoys it complacently for a prolonged period, the Dark Night arrives again. This is actually very good for us because it is the Soul's esoteric clock that instigates the change in order for the personality to keep on moving to a higher training ground.”
Master Del Pe, Beyond The Dark Night of the Soul - Master Del Pe

Master Del Pe
“The Third Eye is the highest tool which can help you to be safe from destructive forces, to survive the calamities and influences of the Dark Side, to be sustainable and to have a continuous existence under your higher Divine Purpose, which will serve as your North Star.”
Master Del Pe

“Look my friend, what I am going to say may sound esoteric to you, but take it seriously, sometimes something comes to you just for you to change you, to guide you more correctly, maybe a book, maybe a movie, maybe someone, the message there is for you, that message has come just for you, evaluate that message well!”
