Occultists

"Bless'd souls, whose care it was this first to know And thus the mansions of the light attain: How credible to hold that minds like these Transcend both human littleness and vice. If Thou, O Jehovah, my God, wilt enlighten me, darkness shall be made light. p.56"

"Hence thou mayst see what my conceptions were, when I began to write; and now I must tell thee, they are still the same, nor hath my long experience weakened them at all, but invincibly confirmed them."

"The Good Prayer is a password. You can pass everywhere by reading it. When you say "Lord God", you will go through the first door. You will pass through as many doors as there are sentences in it. The Good Prayer is sacred, as originating from God; and the Spirit of God vivifies it every day. Thus it is daily up-dated and never gets old. You shall read the Good Prayer in deep inspiration. You shall call the presence of the Spirit by your praying; you shall be very serene and master your mind. In this way you will form and send out that mighty force, those waves, which will attract the Power of God and will activate the Spirit. Then everyone will receive that gentleness and joy which you seek."

"For Yours is the Kingdom, the Power and the Glory, forever."

"The Good Prayer and Psalm 91 used together attain such a great spiritual force that they can even save one's life in death strains."

"Sustain us and help us to grow in knowledge and in Wisdom, to learn from Your Word and to abide in Your Truth."

"Bless our lives, which we dedicate to You for the sake of our brothers and our neighbors."

"Guide us in everything we think and do in Your name, so that Your Kingdom may come on Earth."

"Enlighten our spirit, guide also our hearts and minds to keep Your commandments and instructions."

"Teach us to do Your Will, to sanctify Your Name and to glorify You always."

"By Your presence, inspire within us Your pure thoughts and guide us to serve You with joy."

"Nurture our souls with Your Heavenly bread and fill us with Your Power, so that we may succeed in life. And as You give us all Your blessings, supply Your Love as well, so that it may become for us an everlasting law."

"The law is: maintain contact with the Heart of Nature, with the Mind of the Sun and with the Soul of the Universe: there is one Heart in Nature, one Mind in the Sun, one Soul in the Universe, one Spirit in Eternity. And above everything is One God."

"Appraise the Divine within yourselves - your mind, your heart, your soul and your spirit."

"When you say the Lord's Prayer, give the following meaning to the words: Our Father, Who are in our minds, may Your Light come to my mind, so that it will be able to perceive. May Your Will be within all my undertakings, in all my thoughts and feelings, in all my actions. May Your Will be present even in my breathing and in my blood circulation, so that I can serve You in Joy and Love. 'Lead us not into temptation' means: Lord, give us knowledge and wisdom, so that we cannot fall into temptation through our ignorance."

"Each one of you is preparing to become a citizen of the Kingdom of God, for which you should have the correct attitude towards God, towards your own soul and towards your neighbors. But you cannot establish these correct attitudes until you have a main idea within yourself."

"Prayer is an initiation to Divine life; prayer brings bliss."

"You should concentrate all your forces on one aim - to develop the Divine in yourself and to give it precedence over the human."

"The Good Prayer"

"True prayer means the awakening of the Divine within the human being."

"To pray means to direct one's mind, heart, soul and spirit towards the Great Source of Life from which we have emerged."

"Whoever prays from the bottom of their heart will invariably receive an answer!"

"Exercise yourself in all virtues. Encircle yourself with the Power of Faith, put on the Dress of Love. Call Patience to help you and strengthen it with your Noble character and Tenderness."

"You should pray unceasingly, you should be grateful for everything, you should always rejoice, because that is the Will of God for you in Jesus Christ."

"Christ Himself prayed every night. He had a great deal of knowledge, but He spent hours in prayer after midnight. During these hours He was filled with energy like a dynamo. He then used that energy during the day. In other words, we draw energy from God while praying."

"Give place to Gentleness in your soul and call its children - Selflessness and Meekness together with Politeness and Good nature. And when you do all this, give thanks to God for His help to guard you from evil and to place you in His abode in safety. Sing and praise the Lord in your souls, because your salvation is reality and Heaven is your home."

"Without prayer a person cannot make progress and learn."

"Lord God, our tender Heavenly Father, Who has given us Life and health to rejoice in You - we pray to You: send us Your Spirit to shelter and protect us from every evil and cunning thought."

"No knowledge, no love, no wisdom in the world can be compared to prayer, to a person's communion with the Primary Principle."

"To pray means to send your report about the work you have done to That Center from which you have emerged. In reply you will receive peace and enlightenment."

"You have to do your inner work, increasing the power of your faith and strengthening the spirit of your prayers. In fact, every good service comes due to the Servants of God and every good act comes from God."

"I believe in ONE ETERNAL TRUE GOD Who has spoken to me in the past, Who speaks to me in the present, and Who will speak to me in the future. I believe in the Lord and His Spirit, Who created the conditions for my salvation. |"

"God presents the diversity of Life and His Love is a ceaseless spring for those who seek Him. From now on, all waiting for the Lord will rejoice in Him. We will sing a new song to the Lord. The revival of the Spirit is a new transformation of the human heart. The Lord will place eternal Daylight and Righteousness in it. The prophet said, 'I will give them new hearts'. This is the New Kingdom of God, which Jesus introduced into our hearts; and we are members of this Kingdom of Daylight; we are all united in this Great and Sacred Heart of the Lord Jesus."

"May Your Kingdom be established, and may we partake in Your Joy. May Your Will be done on Earth, as it is in Heaven, and may we work together with You."

"The Promise of God: Whenever you call Me, I will hear you, because I am the Holy God, the mighty Spirit, and I am fast in helping. Justice, Purity, Faith, Hope and Love do not endure any hesitation or hypocrisy."

"Get out any anger! God is not a God of anger, but of gentleness. He does not accept gossip and ingratitude."

"There is no greater moment than that when one raises one's eyes towards God."

"Prayer is a Divine impulse. When it comes to you, you should not delay, but enter the secret chamber of your heart and start praying."

"Prayer is a conversation of the soul with God, in which people confess their mistakes, rectify themselves and give thanks for all good things which they receive every day."

"Looking back to the earliest days of the history of the known world, we find that the first linguistic records belong to the people under consideration, and date back to that far distant cycle of time known as the Aryan civilization. Beyond history we cannot go; but the monuments and cave temples of India, according to the testimony of archaeologists, all point to a time so far beyond the scant history at our disposal, that in the examination of such matters our greatest knowledge is dwarfed into enfantile nothingness - our age and era are but the swaddling clothes of the child; our manhood that of the infant in the arms of the eternity of time."

"I allude to those children of the East, the Hindus, a people whose philosophy and wisdom are every day being more and more revived."

"Long before Rome or Greece or Israel was even heard of, the mountains of India point back to an age, of learning beyond, and still beyond. From the astronomical calculations that the figures in the Ir temples represent, it has been estimated that the Hindu understood the Precession of the Equinoxes centuries before the Christian era."

"People who in their ignorance disdain the wisdom of ancient races forget that the great past of India contained secrets of life and philosophy that following civilizations could not controvert, but were forced to accept. For instance, it has been demonstrated that the ancient Hindus understood the precession of the equinoxes and made the calculation that it [a complete cycle] took place once in every 25,870 years. The observation and mathematical precision necessary to establish such a theory has been the wonder and admiration of modem astronomers. They, with their modem knowledge and up- to-date instruments, are still quarrelling among themselves as to whether the precession, the most important feature in astronomy, takes place every 25,870 years or every 24,500 years. The majority believes that the Hindus made no mistakes, but how they arrived at such a calculation is as great a mystery as the origin of life itself."

"To consider the origin of this Science, we must take our thoughts back to the earliest days of the world's history, and further more to the consideration of a people the oldest of all, yet one that has survived, and who are today as characteristic and as full of individuality as they were when thousands of years ago the first records of history were written."

"Today he’s no longer Tony Moo-Young – he’s Mooji, a spiritual teacher and guru with hundreds of thousands of followers across the world, people drawn to his quest to discover secrets to a more meaningful, less troubled life. A disciple of an Indian teacher called Sri Harilal Poonja, Mooji holds retreats, gives talks and runs an ashram. His philosophy is simple: if we connect to our true nature or self, we can live a true and meaningful life. His events pack in the crowds, and he performs what looks a lot like a public therapy session, homing in on individual issues and giving feedback. Meeting him, you can see his appeal: he’s one of those people who focuses in on you, making you feel like you really matter. To sit with him, they say, is to be at peace.... he’s based in Portugal where he set up his ashram in the southern hills, and welcomes followers from around the world."

"Apply yourself fully to the introspection offered here. It is good for all seekers... This self-inquiry is your internal work. Internal work – eternal satisfaction. Internal work revealing timeless Self."

"Self-inquiry begins by looking to discover whether the personal identity, with all its conditioning and idiosyncrasies, is who we truly are. And it ends as a mirror in which the timeless is reflected."

"Identification with the body is a state that consciousness needs to experience for a while. But eventually, grace will compel consciousness to transcend this severe limitation and guide it home to its original nature."

"Remember, the presence ‘I am’ is the Godly principle. ‘I am’ is the Christ light, the Shiva being, the Krishna consciousness. It cannot be dispelled as mere illusion. It is the active God-Self, the dynamic expression of absolute awareness. Without it, there can be no experiencing, nor can there be the realisation of the Self."

"The Absolute is not revealed through human effort. At the appointed time, presence simply begins merging in it. If you try to force this, you will bring the mind and person in again. It will seem as though the mind has accomplished something tremendous, but it will be a fake realisation, a mere mental state."
