The Emerald Tablets of Thoth

 

''In the beginning there was void, and nothingness, a timeless, spaceless, nothingness. And into the nothingness came a thought, purposeful, all-pervading and it filled the void. There existed no matter, only force, a movement, a vortex or vibration of the purposeful thought that filled the void.''




Ramana Maharshi


This little finger covers the eye and prevents the whole world from being seen.In the same way this small mind covers the whole universe and prevents Reality from being seen

"Sometimes I patrol the perimeter of life,checking for holes where reality might leak in"Sayings of Te Toh (?)




VAJRASATTVA


Vajrasattva (Tibetan: Dorje Sempa) is the archtype deity of ultimate purity persisting in Bodhisattva form. He is supplicated in the special yoga of repentance that employs his well-known hundred syllable mantra. The vajra held before his heart in his right hand and the bell in his left symbolize compassion and wisdom. He is shown here with his consort who hold a skull cup, symbolizing spiritual powers and a “driguk” knife which slices through the illusion of duality. This thangka depicts Vajrasattva with his consort, Vajratopa (Dorje Nyema) who is unclad.






Sloka 573 Sri Shankara Vivekachudamani


**Bondage and Liberation are the creations of the non-apprehension of Reality, in the Self (Aathma) they don’t exist. Maya creates bondage and liberation.

Namah Shivaya

**Those with the courage to explore the weave and structure of the Cosmos, even where it differs profoundly from their wishes and prejudices, will penetrate its deepest mysteries




Avadhuta Gita. (6.15)


In the Self (Atma)

there is neither manhood nor womanhood, because such conceptions cannot exist in Eternity.



Sloka 558 Sri Shankara Vivekachudamani


Liberation is nothing but breaking up the heart’s knots which are constituted of ignorance! Therefore liberation from the body is not actual liberation. One should liberate from everything such as place, desire, society, language, life etc




ATMAN OR BRAHMAN

 


Dschalāl ad-Dīn Muhammad Rūmī


Do you know what you are?

You are a manuscript oƒ a divine letter. You are a mirror reflecting a noble face. This universe is not outside of you. Look inside yourself; everything that you want, you are already that.

Study me as much as you like, you will not know me, for I differ in a hundred ways from what you see me to be. Put yourself behind my eyes and see me as I see myself, for I have chosen to dwell in a place you cannot see.

Moonlight floods the whole sky from horizon to horizon;

How much it can fill your room depends on its windows.
