Divine Feminine An introduction to the Gnostic view of the Divine Feminine and the role of the Goddess in the Gnostic tradition.

It has often intrigued me how some Buddhist masters I know ask one simple question of people who approach them for teaching: “Do you believe in a life after this one?” They are not being asked whether they believe in it as a philosophical proposition but whether they feel it deeply in their hearts. The master knows that if a man believes in a life after this one, his whole outlook on life will be different, and he will have a distinct sense of personal responsibility and morality. What the masters must suspect is that there is a danger that people who have no strong belief in a life after this one will create a society fixated on short-term results, without much thought for the consequences of their actions.

Could this be the major reason why we have created a world like the one we are now living in, a world with hardly any real compassion?
—Tibetan Book of Living and Dying, chapter 1

Tao Te Ching - 37th Verse

The Tao is constant in non-action
Yet there is nothing it does not do.

"The Kingdom is inside of you, and it is outside of you. When you come to know yourselves, then you will become known, and you will realise that it is you who are the sons of the living father. But if you will not know yourselves, you dwell in poverty and it is you who are that poverty." The Gospel of Thomas

Isn’t it extraordinary that our minds cannot stay still for longer than a few moments without grasping after distraction? They are so restless and preoccupied that sometimes I think that living in a city in the modern world, we are already like the tormented beings in the intermediate state after death, where the consciousness is said to be agonizingly restless.

We are fragmented into so many different aspects. We don’t know who we really are, or what aspects of ourselves we should identify with or believe in. So many contradictory voices, dictates, and feelings fight for control over our inner lives that we find ourselves scattered everywhere, in all directions, leaving nobody at home.

Meditation, then, is bringing the mind home.
—Tibetan Book of Living and Dying, chapter 5

"The gravest aspect of this whole matter is that the factors responsible for such desolation as hunger, war, the destruction of the planet on which we live, etc., are within ourselves. We carry them within us, in our psyche." Samael Aun Weor

"The authentic human being chooses in the moment that he wishes the opportune moments for his spiritual or psychological growth" Samael Aun Weor
