- Opposites
“When the outer self appears to be at peace, the inner self is calm. When the outer self is aggressive, the inner self is defensive; thus, make the outer self and the inner self opposites and both selves will become one.” Yagyu Munenori - Ho Ho
- The Logos
“The Logos is the vehicle by which God acts on the Universe, and may be compared to the speech of man.” Morals and Dogma (page 251) - Souls Purified By Light
“…The souls that are purified, not by the Law but by light, rise to the Heavenly regions, to enjoy there a perfect felicity.Those that persevere in evil go from body to body, the seats of passions and evil desires. …” Morals and Dogma (page 252) - The EssENEs
“…The EssENEs were of the Eclectic Sect of Philosophers, and held PLATO in the highest esteem; they believed that true philos-ophy, the greatest and most salutary gift of God to mortals, was scattered, in various portions, through all the different Sects; and that it was, consequently, the duty of every wise man to gather it from the several quarters where it lay dispersed, and to employ it, thus reunited, in destroying the dominion of impiety and vice.” Morals and Dogma (page 265) - Manifestations
“These personified attributes of Deity, in the theory of Basilides, were the Il ewtoyovos or First-born, Nos [Nous or Mind] : from it emanates Aoyos [Legos, or THE WorD] from it Poovnơis : [Phronesis, Intellect]: from it Zogia [Sophia, Wisdom] : from it Aúvaus [Dunamis, Fower]: and from it Axalooúvn [Dikaiosune, Righteousness] : to which latter the Jews gave the name of Elenn [Eirene, Peace, or Calm], the essential characteristics of Divinity, and harmonious effect of all His perfections. The whole number of successive emanations vas 365, expressed by the Gnostics, in Greek … Continue reading “Manifestations” - Reason, the Life and Motion
“God says Pythagoras, “is neither the object of sense, nor subject to passion, but invisible, only intelligible, and supremely intelligent. In His body He is like the light, and in His soul He resembles truth. He is the universal spirit that pervades and dif-fuseth itself over all nature. All beings receive their life from Him. There is but one only God, who is not, as some are apt to imagine, seated above the world, beyond the orb of the Universe; but being Himself all in all, He sees all the beings that fill … Continue reading “Reason, the Life and Motion” - Canine Answer“In the real explanation of the thought of a dog, all metaphysics will be condensed.” Morals and Dogma (page 293)
- Reason as a Guide
“Then the shadows of a horrible doubt fall upon the soul that would fain love, trust and believe; a darkness, of which this that surrounded you was a symbol. It doubts the truth of Revelation, its own spirituality, the very existence of a beneficent God. It asks itself if it is not idle to hope for any great progress of Humanity toward perfection, and whether, when it advances in one respect, it does not retrogress in some other, by way of compensation: whether advance in civilization is not increase of self-ishness: whether freedom … Continue reading “Reason as a Guide” - Never Doubt
“Thrice blessed are they who never doubt, who ruminate in patient contentment like the kine, or doze under the opiate of a blind faith; on whose souls never rests that Awful Shadow which is the absence of the Divine Light.” Morals and Dogma - Reason and Faith
“Reason must, for these, co-operate and coincide with Faith, or they remain still in the darkness of doubt,— most miserable of all conditions of the human mind.” Morals and Dogma page 300 - PROVERBS 18An unfriendly person pursues selfish ends and against all sound judgment starts quarrels. 2 Fools find no pleasure in understanding but delight in airing their own opinions. 3 When wickedness comes, so does contempt, and with shame comes reproach. 4 The words of the mouth are deep waters, but the fountain of wisdom is a rushing stream. 5 It is not good to be partial to the wicked and so deprive the innocent of justice. 6 The lips of fools bring them strife, and their mouths invite a beating. 7 The mouths of fools are their undoing, and their lips are a snare to their very lives. … Continue reading “PROVERBS 18”

Therefore love is the fulfillment of the law.” ROMANS 13:8, 10 - Zero Degrees of DifferenceThat which appeals to the 14th degree. It seems to be glaring liability that most members only reach the third.

- Reality of Harsh TimeI’ve realized that my true family does not actually Love me, but loves their own complacency as a replacement of that love. Even those who have accepted me and shown me love before have decided to be cold, heartless and ignore me when I communicate.

Days later, that same woman caught me glancing at her open shirt and covered up- annoyed that I … Continue reading “Reality of Harsh Time”
