Thoughts From A Mystic

. "The world is full of sorrow, because it is full of lust. Men go astray because they think that delusion is better than truth. Rather than truth they follow error, which is pleasant to look at in the beginning but in the end causes anxiety, tribulation, and misery." v5, p.36, THE TEACHINGS OF BUDDHA, Paul Carus

. "The existence of self is an illusion, and there is no wrong in this world, no vice, no evil, except what flows from the assertion of self." v18, p.38, THE TEACHINGS OF BUDDHA, Paul Carus

. True prayer finds 'the good' in all things; false prayer wants 'bad' to be converted into 'good'. Peace, Matthew

. The energy that desires change (of self or the world) is what motivates the creation of the alienated self. When 'it' is recognized don't give support, but watch it as an observer. That which is thought to exist will fade into nothingness without your support. The true can only be seen when the false sense of who we are (in the world) is dropped. Peace, Matthew

. "...it was only when every single, subtle, experience and idea- conscious and unconscious- has come to an end, a complete end, is it possible for the Truth to reveal itself." p75, ¶3 Bernadette Robert THE EXPERIENCE OF NO SELF

"When we continuously employ the remorseless judge to calculate and measure everything we do or are, we imprison ourselves in an existence of struggle, guilt, and suffering, trying to appease a god that is ourselves projected." Tony Parsons, AS IT IS, pg.62

. "Reality is not what you think" Peace, Matthew
