Wednesday, May 18, 2011"true knowledge is based on true tolerance. From this true tolerance comes absolute comprehension, and true comprehension gives birth to peace, which enlightens and purifies." Nicholas Roerich Julian Ochoa 21:30 Monday, May 16, 2011The term " Universal Brotherhood" is no idle phrase. It is the only secure foundation for universal morality. MKH. The Mahatma letters to A.P Sinnett Julian Ochoa 01:05 Saturday, May 14, 2011Theosophy is the vehicle of the spirit that giveth life; consequently, nothing dogmatic can be Theosophical. Gems from the East, by H.P Blavatsky Julian Ochoa 12:23 Sunday, March 13, 2011The greatest achievement is selflessness. The greatest worth is self-mastery. The greatest quality is seeking to serve others. The greatest precept is continual awareness. The greatest medicine is the emptiness of everything. The greatest action is not conforming with the worlds ways. The greatest magic is transmuting the passions. The greatest generosity is non-attachment. The greatest goodness is a peaceful mind. The greatest patience is humility. The greatest effort is not concerned with results. The greatest meditation is a mind that lets go. The greatest wisdom is seeing through appearances. Atisha (11th century Tibetan Buddhist master) Julian Ochoa 22:25 Thursday, March 03, 2011I searched for God among the Christians and on the Cross and therein i found him not. I went into the ancient temples of idolatry; No trace of him was there. I entered the mountain cave of Hira and then went as far as Qandahar but God i found not. With set purpose i fared to the summit of Mount Caucasus and found there only 'anqa's habitation. Then i directed my search to the Kaaba (mecca), the resort of old and young; God was not there even. Finally, I looked into my own heart and there i saw him; He was nowhere else. By Rumi Julian Ochoa 09:51 Saturday, May 15, 2010When the light of the love of GOD shall descend on thy heart and soul, then thou wilt become more glorious than is the sun in the sky. Hafiz-Theosophist Magazine april 1910- june 1910. Julian Ochoa 12:14 Saturday, April 10, 2010We of the present day are content to accept a monkey as our ancestor, but the proud Greeks traced their lineage to the Gods. Theosophy.Vol 27, #3 1939. Ancient Landmarks Julian Ochoa 08:11 Sunday, March 28, 2010Not knowing how near the truth is, people seek it far away-what a pity! They are like one who, in the midst of water, cries pitifully from thirst... Hakuin (1685-1768) Julian Ochoa 02:57 Friday, March 26, 2010Hatred does not cease by hatred; hatred only ceases by love. This is the eternal law. The Dhammapada. Julian Ochoa 04:21 Friday, February 26, 2010"What room for doubt and what room for sorrow is there in him who knows that all spiritual beings are the same in kind and only differ from each other in degree?" William Q Judge-Ancient Hindu Texts. Julian Ochoa 01:41 Wednesday, February 24, 2010There are only two mistakes one can make along the road to truth: not going all the way and not starting. -Buddha. Julian Ochoa 02:06 Monday, January 18, 2010From The Heart of The World: The Elder Brothers Warning. By: Alan Ereira Julian Ochoa 14:55 Friday, December 25, 2009I died as a mineral and became a plant, I died as plant and rose to animal, I died as animal and I was Man. Why should I fear? When was I less by dying? Yet once more I shall die as Man, to soar With angels blest; but even from angelhood I must pass on: all except God doth perish. When I have sacrificed my angel-soul, I shall become what no mind e'er conceived. Oh, let me not exist! for Non-existence Proclaims in organ tones, 'To Him we shall return.' --Jalal ed-Din Rumi (1207-1273) Julian Ochoa 01:23 Tuesday, December 22, 2009On Self Sacrafice: ENQUIRER. And what may be the duty of a Theosophist to himself? THEOSOPHIST. To control and conquer, through the Higher, the lower self. To purify himself inwardly and morally; to fear no one, and nought, save the tribunal of his own conscience. Never to do a thing by halves; i. e., if he thinks it the right thing to do, let him do it openly and boldly, and if wrong, never touch it at all. It is the duty of a Theosophist to lighten his burden by thinking of the wise aphorism of Epictetus, who says: "Be not diverted from your duty by any idle reflection the silly world may make upon you, for their censures are not in your power, and consequently should not be any part of your concern." The Key to Theosophy. H.P.Blavatsky Julian Ochoa 11:06 Monday, December 07, 2009True compassion is more than flicking a coin to a beggar. Marthin Luther King. Julian Ochoa 13:57 Sunday, November 29, 2009What we do for ourselves dies with us what we do for others and the world remains immortal. Albert Pike Julian Ochoa 13:53 Tuesday, November 17, 2009Know ye not that ye are the Temple of GOD, and that the Spirit of GOD dwelleth in you? Corinthians 3:16 Julian Ochoa 10:39 Wednesday, July 29, 2009THE JOURNEY SLOW AND STEADY WINS THE RACE Our march toward the infinite is a long journey, not to be finished within a few hours, a few days, or a few years. Though we see many around us falling or retreating, we must go forward. -Swami B. Br, Sridhar Julian Ochoa 21:59 Monday, April 06, 2009Who toiled a slave may come anew a Prince For gentler worthiness and merit won Who ruled a King may wander earth in rags For things done and undone. Sir Edwin Arnold: from Lives of Alcyone, by C.W Leadbeater & Annie Besant Julian Ochoa 14:03 Friday, August 22, 2008Evolution In the great wind sweeping Southward Where the Southern Cross hangs high, Lies the whisper of lost nations, Lost forever where they lie. Lost these strange old worlds forever, Gone their glory and their gold, Some by forest deeply hidden, Some by oceans water cold. Dust to dust, so runs the story, Nations rise nations fall. Constant struggle through the ages. What the purpose of it all? Man evolves through endless effort, Nations are but training schools. Each day a recitation, In the work of schooling fools. Slowly as the ages circle, More awaken to the light, More arise and take their places, Sons of God , who see aright. They shall guard the earth and lead her From destruction and dismay, From all was and immolation, To the ancient Holy Way. The Temple of Amon RA, Mary Gray Julian Ochoa 10:09 Friday, June 20, 2008Each religion has its own mission in the world, is suited to the nations to whom it is given, and to the type of civilisation it is to permeate. I has been well said that while things essential there should be unity, in things non-essential there should be liberty, and in all things there should be charity. Were that wise rule followed by each, we should hear less of the religious antagonisms and sectarian disputes that bring sham on the very word 'religion'. Annie Besant. Theosophy in Australia, june 2008 vol 72, # 2 Julian Ochoa 09:19 Friday, May 23, 2008There is no need for us to say anything about others. There is no need for you or for me to regard other's actions in our thoughts one way or another. The worst thing we can do is to force people to agree with us. I mean that we shouldn't try to impose our will when people don't behave the way we want them to. The worst thing one can do is to confront human beings bluntly. A warrior proceeds strategically. If one wants to stop our fellow men one must always be outside the circle that presses them. That way one can always direct the pressure. Journey to Ixtlan, By Carlos Castaneda. Julian Ochoa 12:29 Thursday, March 20, 2008We are certainly influenced by role models, and if we are surrounded by images of beautiful rich people, we will start to think that to be beautiful and rich is very important - just as in the Middle Ages, people were surrounded by images of religious piety. Alain de Botton Julian Ochoa 14:46 Friday, February 22, 2008Avoid the wicked company and associate with saintly persons. Acquire virtue both day and night. Always meditate on that which is eternal, forgetting the temporary. In this way you will achieve success. Chanakya Pandit Julian Ochoa 15:24 Wednesday, January 30, 2008Christianity isn't moving people's lives today. What's moving people's lives is the stock market and the baseball scores. What are people excited about? It's a totally materialistic level that has taken over the world. There isn't even an ideal that anybody's fighting for. Joseph Campbell Julian Ochoa 22:04 Tuesday, November 27, 2007Labels: Krishnamurti-The real revolution part 1 of 2, youtube. Julian Ochoa 14:14 Wednesday, October 03, 2007"A glory shines across the coming years, The glory of a race grown great and free. 'Twas seen by poets, sages, saints and seers, Whose vision glimpsed the dawn that is to be. A shining shore is by the futures sea, Whereon each man shall stand among his peers. As equal; and to none shall bend the knee. Awake, my soul, shake off your doubts and fears; Behold the magic of the morning face; And hear the sweet and wondorous melody That floats to us from far-off golden days- It is the choral song of liberty It is the anthem of the coming race." A dweller on two planets. By Phylos. Julian Ochoa 17:32 Saturday, September 01, 2007The world view most people associate with science has been left behind. The concept of space and time, life and matter, and the universe itself, has changed. The cosmos is not a life less, soulless aggregate of innert chunks of matter: it is closer to a living organism. It is not a matter that is a fundamental component in it: physical reality is made up of a variety of familiaras well as strange fields, forces, and energies. Space and time are not a passive backdrop to the blind concourse of particlesand atoms: they are the unified background of the evolution of galaxies. This view is not the final, immutable truth of course, but it is likely to be closer to the way things really are than any previous conception. -Ervin Laslo Holistic Science & Human Values 2003 Julian Ochoa 16:04 Tuesday, June 12, 2007Prayer Before Birth I am not yet born; O hear me.Let not the bloodsucking bat or the rat or the stoat or the club-footed ghoul come near me.I am not yet born, console me.I fear that the human race may with tall walls wall me, with strong drugs dope me, with wise lies lure me, on black racks rack me, in blood-baths roll me.I am not yet born; provide meWith water to dandle me, grass to grow for me, trees to talk to me, sky to sing to me, birds and a white light in the back of my mind to guide me.I am not yet born; forgive meFor the sins that in me the world shall commit, my words when they speak me, my thoughts when they think me, my treason engendered by traitors beyond me, my life when they murder by means of my hands, my death when they live me.I am not yet born; rehearse meIn the parts I must play and the cues I must take when old men lecture me, bureaucrats hector me, mountains frown at me, lovers laugh at me, the white waves call me to folly and the desert calls me to doom and the beggar refuses my gift and my children curse me.I am not yet born; O hear me,Let not the man who is beast or who thinks he is God come near me.I am not yet born; O fill meWith strength against those who would freeze my humanity, would dragoon me into a lethal automaton, would make me a cog in a machine, a thing with one face, a thing, and against all those who would dissipate my entirety, would blow me like thistledown hither and thither or hither and thither like water held in the hands would spill me.Let them not make me a stone and let them not spill me.Otherwise kill me. By louise McNeice Julian Ochoa 11:11 Wednesday, April 18, 2007To the philosopher, the body is "a disturbing element, hindering the soul from the acquisition of knowledge....What is purification but...the release of the soul from the chains of the body?" The Socrates of Plato's Phaedo Julian Ochoa 15:27 Monday, April 09, 2007"A spirit of innovation is generally the result of a selfish temper and confined views. People will not look foward to posterity, who not look backward to their ancestors." Burke Julian Ochoa 20:28 Saturday, April 07, 2007Does anyone want to take the world and do what he wants with it? I do not see how he can succeed. The world is a sacred vessel, which must not be tampered with or grabbed after. To tamper with it is to spoil it, and to grasp it is to lose it. In fact, for all things there is a time for going ahead, and a time for following behind; A time for slow breating and a time for fast breathing; A time to grow in strenght and a time to decay; A time to be up and a time to be down. Therefore the Sage avoids all extremes, excesses and extravagances. Lao Tzu, Tao Teh Ching. Julian Ochoa 19:23 Thursday, March 29, 2007"We can live in the world, and walk not in the darkness of its ways but in the light of our own understanding of the wisdom that belongs to the one self that trancends yet exists in the heart of every being." N. Sri Ram, Thoughts for Aspirants. Julian Ochoa 14:08 |
