1:26. Then saith the prophet and slave of the beauteous one: Who am I, and what shall be the sign? So she answered him, bending down, a lambent flame of blue, all-touching, all penetrant, her lovely hands upon the black earth, & her lithe body arched for love, and her soft feet not hurting the little flowers: Thou knowest! And the sign shall be my ecstasy, the consciousness of the continuity of existence, the omnipresence of my body.
1:42. Let it be that state of manyhood bound and loathing. So with thy all; thou hast no right but to do thy will.
- Aiwass / Aleister Crowley,

"Nature does not know extinction. All it knows is transformation! And everything science has taught me -- and continues to teach me -- strengthens my belief in the continuity of our spiritual existence after death. Nothing disappears without a trace." --Wernher Von Braun
"I believe ... that the soul of Man is immortal and will be treated with justice in another life respecting its conduct in this." --Benjamin Franklin

"Pain, too, is a joy....Have you ever said Yes to a single joy?...then you said Yes, too, to all woe. All things are entangled, ensnared, enamored. If ever you wanted one thing twice, if ever you said 'you please me, happiness! Abide, moment!' then you wanted back all. All anew, all eternally, all entangled, ensnared, enamored--oh, then you loved the world. Eternal ones, love it eternally and evermore: and to woe, too, you say: go, but return! for all joy wants---eternity!
You higher men, do learn this, joy wants eternity. Joy wants the eternity of all things, wants deep, wants deep eternity!"
Nietzsche via Zarathustra

Grief can be the garden of compassion. If you keep your heart open through everything, your pain can become your greatest ally in your life's search for love and wisdom.

Quote:
Middleman said:
As long as you are interested in your present way of living, you will not abandon it.
Discovery cannot come as long as you cling to the familiar.
It is only when you realise fully the immense sorrow of your life and revolt against it, that a way out can be found.
- I Am That
Once you can say with confidence born from direct experience; 'I am the world, the world is myself', you are free from desire and fear on one hand and become totally responsible for the world on the other. The senseless sorrow of mankind becomes your sole concern. p.496
As long as you feel competent and confident, reality is beyond your reach. Unless you accept inner adventure as a way of life, discovery will not come to you. p.499
When ignorance, the mother of sin, dissolves, destiny, the compulsion to sin again, ceases. p.503
You can be happy in the world only when you are free of it....To believe that you depend on things and people for happiness is due to ignorance of your true nature; to know that you need nothing to be happy, except self-knowledge, is wisdom. p.504
The world appears to you so overwhelmingly real, because you think of it all the time; cease thinking of it and it will dissolve into thin mist. p.505
Once you have seen that you are dreaming, you shall wake up. But you do not see, because you want the dream to continue. A day will come when you will long for the ending of the dream, with all your heart and mind, and be willing to pay any price; the price will be dispassion and detachment, the loss of interest in the dream itself. p.506
For some time the mental habits may linger in spite of the new vision, the habit of longing for the known past and fearing the unknown future. p.509
'Nothing is me', is the first step. 'Everything is me' is the next. p.518
You take remembering to be knowledge. True knowledge is ever fresh, new, unexpected. p.519
Why bother at all to change? ...There is nothing to seek and find, for there is nothing lost. Relax and watch the 'I am'. Reality is just behind it. Keep quiet, keep silent; it will emerge, or, rather, it will take you in. p.520
Only when the very idea of changing is seen as false and abandoned, the changeless can come into its own..... All change affects the mind only. To be what you are, you must go beyond the mind, into your own being. It is immaterial what is the mind that you leave behind, provided you leave it behind for good. p.521
The first steps in self-acceptance are not at all pleasant, for what one sees is not a happy sight. One needs all the courage to go further. What helps is silence. Look at yourself in total silence, do not describe yourself. p.526
Mind must be free of desires and relaxed. It comes with understanding, not with determination...p.526
Q. How does maturity come about? NM. By keeping your mind clear and clean, by living your life in full awareness of every moment as it happens, by examining and dissolving one's desires and fears as soon as they arise. p.528
Cease being fascinated by the content of your consciousness. When you reach the deep layers of your true being, you will find that the mind's surface-play affects you very little. p.531

Kena Upanishad (c.600 BCE):
By whom willed and directed does the mind light on its objects… the breath move… speech utter? Who is the Divine prompting sight and hearing? That which is the [power of] hearing behind hearing, thinking behind thinking, speaking behind speaking, seeing behind seeing—is also the breathing behind breathing…. That which one can’t grasp by the mind, by which, they say, the mind itself is grasped… That which one can’t see by sight, by which one sees sight itself… That which one can’t hear with one’s hearing, by which hearing itself is heard… That which one can’t breathe through breathing, by which breathing itself is drawn forth—you must know That alone is Brahman [Reality], and not what they [the masses] here venerate [folk religion]. (i.1-8)

"The Oversoul is some kind of field that is generated by human beings but that is not under the control of any institution, any government, or any religion. It is actually the most intelligent life form on the planet, and it regulates human culture through the release of ideas out of eternity and into the continuum of history." --Terence McKenna
