~Row, Row, Row, Your Boat Gently Down The Stream. Merrily, Merrily, Merrily, Merrily, Life Is But A Dream.~
I have been seeking truth and wisdom all my life.
This is the most important focus.
This quest for the truth of my life began very early.
This focus has woven through it many traditional religious paths and some not so traditional. A marvelous tapestry, all threads connected and yet each with its own purpose. After 40 years of studying religion and participating; I now see Universal Truth inherent in all traditions. Spirituality is about Union, not separation. If you really go deeper and can get past the superficial and man made dogmas, the 'isms and 'ianity's, you will find the core truths present in All. The central Truth I have come to understand is that Source or God, Buddha Nature or Continuous Mind, (it doesn't matter the name you use), is within All of us. IS all of US. We are One. We are all born of the Light and all Wisdom from the Divine is right there inside each one of us. It is not without, out there somewhere. It is within. We must find and re-connect with our Inner Being. Our Eternal Selves. Love one another and realize you create your world by your thoughts, words, and deeds. You manifest what you place your attention upon. Christ said, "Seek and ye shall find; Ask and it shall be given." Christ means "Awakened One", Buddha means "Awakened One", I find that VERY interesting.
I love the Gospel of Thomas! It was believed to have been written during the time of Christ. In the first centuries of the church this was considered a genuine eyewitness account. All copies were thought to have been lost, due to official church censorship. It was rediscovered in the Nag Hammadi find of 1945.
These are some of my favorite verses.
From the: Gospel OF Thomas (Translated By Hugh McGregor Ross, 4th edition),
Logia 2 Jesus said: Let him who seeks not cease from seeking until he finds and when he finds he will be turned around and when he is turned around he will marvel and he shall reign over the All.
Logia 50 Jesus said: If they say to you
Where are you from? say to them: We came from the Light there, where the Light was by itself. It stood boldly And manifested itself in their image. If they say to you: Who are you? say: We are His sons and we are the chosen of the Living Father. If they question you: What is the sign of your Father in you? say to them: It is a movement with a repose.
Taken from Original Christianity, Peter Novak Quoted from The Gospel Of Thomas,
Logia 113 His disciples said to him, "When will the Kingdom come" Jesus said, "It will not come by looking outward for it." It will not be a matter of saying, " Here it is or there it is." Rather, the Kingdom of the Father is spread out upon the earth, And men do not see it.
