Quotes from the Masters and Teachers

[Miss Hepburn]

You are pure consciousness,
already free, awake and, liberated.
Stand up and walk out of your dream.
I am here to say you can do this.

“The dawning of the enlightened mind is not at all what it is often imagined to
be
and not as far away as you might think it is.” ~ Adyashanti

God gets you to the plate, but once you're there, you're on your own.

Ted Williams

[Miss Hepburn]

When you are discontent, you always want more, more, more.
Your desire can never be satisfied.
But when you practice contentment, you can say to yourself,
'Oh yes - I already have everything that I really need.'

Dalai Lama

[God-Like]

One can only define the unknown by its supposed and supposable relations with the known.

Succeed in not fearing the lion, and the lion will fear YOU. Say to suffering, 'I will that you shall become a pleasure,' and it will prove to be such-- and even more than a pleasure, it will be a blessing.

In olden times gold was manufactured by science; nowadays science must be renewed by gold. We have fixed the volatile and we must now volatilize the fixed—in other words, we have materialized spirit, and we must now spiritualize matter.

Weakness ever sympathizes with vice, because vice is a weakness which assumes the mask of strength. Madness holds reason in horror, and on all subjects it delights in the exaggerations of falsehood. The cause of all bewitchments, the poison of all philtres, the power of all sorcerers are there.


Progress is a possibility for the animal: it can be broken in, tamed and trained; but it is not a possibility for the fool, because the fool thinks he has nothing to learn. It is his place to dictate to others and put them right, and so it is impossible to reason with him. He will laugh you to scorn in saying that what he does not understand is not a meaningful proposition. 'Why don't I understand it, then?', he asks you, with marvellous impudence. To tell him it is because he is a fool would only be taken as an insult, so there is nothing you can say in reply. Everybody else sees it quite clearly, but he will never realize it.

Here then, at the outset, is a potent secret which is inaccessible to the majority of people; a secret which they will never guess and which it would be useless to tell them: the secret of their own stupidity.

'Father, forgive them,' said Jesus, 'for they know not what they do' -- People of good sense whoever you may be, I will add, do not listen to them, for they know not what they say.


Eliphas Levi

[Miss Hepburn]

“Student, tell me, what is God?
He is the breath inside the breath.”

-Kabir, b. 1398

Again, these should be bumper stickers for all to see!


To a mind that is still, the whole Universe surrenders.

- Lao Tzu

When I told the people of Northern Ireland that I was an atheist, a woman in the audience stood up and said, "Yes, but is it the God of the Catholics or the God of the Protestants in whom you don't believe?" --Quentin Crisp
