So many recycled ideas that have been stated so much more intelligently. 

Quote

The truth and the life is the last frontier.

Using our mind was the key to our success in the past, but it will not be in the future. The opposite is true now. Getting past the mind will be the key to success. Jesus said, “To those that overcome, I will give a crown of life.” He is saying that if you can overcome your dominating mind, he will give you life.

It is time to stop neglecting our spirit, our true selves. Even when our minds are active, we are less than one percent our minds and more than ninety-nine percent spirit. People just do not know it. Our bodies do not get in the way of our spirit; they enhance it, but our minds do get in the way. They blot out the truth and the life.

The mind will still be the key to the next step in evolution, but not by doing what it did in the past. It has to change for us to change.
We have been doing the mind’s will, and we need to be doing God/life’s will. To do God’s will, you have to know the truth and the life, and become it.

We need an age of the spirit now. Our spirit must be seen as the more important part of us. It is the real part, the eternal part, what we have always been and always will be; it is the real us. When we are not thinking, we are a 100% spirit.

Everyone is waiting for a savior, when you need to savior self.

Step up: Your mind has to step down, so your true self, your eternal, spiritual-self, can step up. It is the next and last step in your evolution. Your mind needs to get out of the way so that you can learn the spiritual truth, the living truth, the real truth, the truth that is beyond the mind. The only thing between you and God is you, or that which you think is you.

The Bible says, “Being absent from the body is being present with the lord.” When the mind is absent, you are present with the lord (God/life).

The well behaved mind: The controlled mind is like a pet dog that sleeps a lot. It is running around you and barking all the time now. It is out of control and ruining your life. When you get control of it, it becomes like a well-behaved pet.

When the mind sleeps, you are awake.
When the mind is awake, you are asleep.

If you want to be completely awake, you must put your mind to sleep, put it on standby. It is always there at your beckoned call. It will warn you of danger and protect you. Your mind is always ready and waiting to jump into your life for any reason. When it is working right, it is like an autopilot that works behind the scenes. It takes care of the nuts and bolts of life so that you are free to just live.

The further a society drifts from the truth, the more it will hate those that speak it.

Quote

Everyone thinks of changing the world, but no one thinks of changing himself.

Quote

If we could change ourselves, the tendencies in the world would also change. As a man changes his own nature, so does the attitude of the world change towards him... We need not wait to see what others do.

Quote

WWII: World War ll started the year the movie the Wizard of Oz came out, when fun-loving musicals were the most popular movies. There was not as much sex and violence in these movies as there is today. People were more refined and friendly; they did not lock their doors or have alarm systems.

People were more civilized just before both world wars than we are now.

You have to admit the human race has gotten a lot weirder, more lost, and a lot more dangerous. We need to face the fact that it can and will happen to us if we do not do something to stop it from happening. It is just a natural cycle. The most optimistic of times have always proceeded this world's darkest days. Things before most disasters were just as they are now; people were asleep. Mankind has not changed. The only difference now is there are a lot more people, and we are more alienated, confused, vulnerable, and much more dangerous.

We have been centralizing the necessities of life. The food, water and electricity that everyone is now dependent on can be disrupted very easily, sending us right back to the laws of the jungle in just a few days.

I do not know with what weapons world war three will be fought, but world war four will be fought with sticks and stones.
Albert Einstein

The most important and dangerous difference is we have nuclear weapons. One modern thermonuclear bomb can have more destructive power than all the conventional bombs used in all the previous wars.

The unleashed power of the atom has changed everything, save our modes of thinking, and we thus drift toward unparalleled catastrophe.
Albert Einstein

You just have to look at the content of our movies and music to see where mankind is really at. Violence is at an all time high in movies and music. Before the last world war, they had Bing Crosby singing White Christmas; we now have rap music that spews hate and violence. It was much less likely that the last two world wars would happen than a world war happening today.

Little sparks start big fires: The next world war is shaping up to be a war between religions, and this will make it much worse than any preceding war.

Einstein said there are two infinite things: the universe and man’s stupidity.

The first world war started over one person shooting another person. One shot lead to millions of shots being fired. It was the assassination of a member of a royal family. Everything happened over the honor of a royal family. It started the biggest bloodbath in history. That one shot set off a chain reaction that engulfed the whole world. The Second World War was just an extension of the first one. Hitler would not have gotten in power or did what he did if not for the First World War.

From what I've read so far, it's a belief system centered on an apocalyptic view of the future and total suppression of the mind in order to free the spirit.

Thanks, but no thanks.

The world is a dangerous place to live, not because of the people who are evil, but because of the people who don’t do anything about it.

Quote

We can easily forgive a child who is afraid of the dark; the real tragedy of life is when men are afraid of the light.

The significant problems we have cannot be solved at the same level of thinking with which we created them.
