The temple of our purest thoughts is silence.
– Sarah J. Hale
In the void
What is called the spirit of the void is where there is nothing. It is not included in man’s knowledge. Of course the void is nothingness. By knowing things that exist, you can know that which does not exist. That is the void.
People in this world look at things mistakenly, and think that what they do not understand must be the void. This is not the true void. It is bewilderment…
Polish the twofold spirit heart and mind, and sharpen the twofold perception and sight. When your spirit is not in the least clouded, when the clouds of bewilderment clear away, there is the true void…
In the void is virtue, and no evil. Wisdom has existence, principle has existence, the Way has existence, spirit is nothingness.
– Miyamoto Musashi
The original seed of all existences
I am the taste in the water, the light of the sun and the moon, the sound in the ether, the ability in man, the fragrance of the earth, the heat in the fire, the life of all that lives, the strength of the strong, the intelligence of the intelligent, and the original seed of all existences.
– From the Bhagavad Gita
The son of man is within you
Then Jesus said:
“Peace be with you all.
Take my peace into your Selves; be watchful so nobody leads you astray claiming ‘Look there, look here for the son of man’.
I tell you that the son of man is within you all!
Seek him inside; those who search diligently and earnestly shall surely find him.
Then leave and teach the truth of the Kingdom to those with ears to hear; don’t invent rules beyond those I’ve given.
Don’t make laws like lawmakers do or else you’ll be held back.”
– From the gospel of Mary Magdalene
