In my Monastry it was usual for a novice to spend 3 years in silence and prayer, yet when the need arose he took the sword.
Pain of the flesh is not pain of the spirit. If you destroy all the flesh the spirit remains.
Be aware be not afraid, you are never alone, always part of the mosaic - the time that is love
You only return to earth when there is a way for you. You return not in the same book but in the same chapter.
If you doubt yourselves you are nothing; be aware, be not afraid.
Hear then the music of one in harmony with another as a symphony of soul
Truth is perception, what is truth but perception. Truth is the sword and also the pillow
In all Journeys some will always fall by the Path
If I sow seeds on a field some will fall on fallow land, some fall on fertile land. The growth cannot be the same.
All Power Comes From Within
In order to serve spirit one must serve one’s fellow man. To touch those who are less fortunate than oneself is to touch the hand of spirit. To lift those who in desperation have fallen in their ignorance –they are blameless, reach down from the height of your intellect to left them for to serve mankind is to awaken the Eternal Law when it is dormant within a person who is depleted through anxiety of life is to lift a gift of spirit into the realms of love.
The Eternal Law is an instrument-maker of fine repetition. The spirit leaves us to go to earth in perfect condition with a true sound, clear note and of harmony. Its mis-use on earth may destroy the character of the instrument, its tone, its quality, its beauty. Therefore when it is returned to the Maker it is refurbished, re-toned, then released until it returns in harmony with all things
The spirit of love is all things to all men
Your life is an illusion. Consider, even birth is not necessarily your choice. Proceeding from this moment all you see, all you feel, all you touch, all you taste, is transient. It is yesterday, it has no substance. Whatever measure you achieve in life ultimately is of little importance to your passing; even the very eminent amongst you shall be forgotten in time. The one constant that is throughout your existence is spirit, your spirit, the voice within yourselves. That part which is of the Eternal Law. All you do, all you achieve, say, speak, think, effects this part of you.
Your path is chosen, how you walk the road is your decision.

It sounds violent.
There was a mad people in a history who in a name of God tortured themselves.
