Philosophy

Not like English or Spanish, although those are some languages people use to communicate.  We use "Languages" to describe the mechanisms or modalities through which conscious beings energetically connect with each other.  To provide some examples:

• Christianity is a Language that uses terms like God, Trinity, Heaven/Hell, Angels/Demons. When two people fluent in Christianity meet, their shared backgrounds should allow them to easily connect in a spiritual dialog.
• Parenthood is a Language.  It can be simple to connect with other parents through a common bond of diapers, tantrums, and teenage angst. Oh... and the joy.
• Music is a Language that transmits thoughts and emotions using sound waves.
• Quantum Mechanics is a Language that helps describe our Realm.
• The Law of Attraction is a Language.
• Trauma is a Language.
• Gardening
• Alcoholism
• Memes
• Religions
• Philosophies
• Gurus
• Books
• Life Experiences
• Media
• Love of The Lord of the Rings
• ANYTHING

These are all Languages understood by individuals, and finding a shared Language allows communication and connection to flow that much easier.  We are devoted to learning as many Languages as we can hold, in order to better connect with a diverse humanity.

There are a lot of paths up the mountain, and the only person wasting time is the one running around telling everyone else they're on the wrong path.  Yet even with many paths there is but one summit, one mountain. Source, God, Universe, Brahman, Unity Consciousness, the ALL.

• Nag Hammadi Library - Biblical Apocrypha
• And he said, whoever discovers what these sayings mean will not taste death.  Yeshua said, seek and do not stop seeking until you find.  When you find, you will be troubled. When you are troubled, you will marvel and rule over all. Yeshua said, if your leaders tell you, "Look, the kingdom is in heaven," then the birds of heaven will precede you. If they say to you, "It's in the sea," then the fish will precede you. But the kingdom is inside you and it is outside you. When you know yourselves, then you will be known, and you will understand that you are children of the living father. But if you do not know yourselves, then you dwell in poverty and you are poverty. -Gospel of Thomas 1-3

• Spooky action at a distance
• "The first gulp from the glass of natural sciences will make you an athiest, but at the bottom of the glass God is waiting for you" - Werner Heisenberg
• "The total number of minds in the universe is one. In fact, consciousness is a singularity phasing within all beings." - Erwin Schrödinger
• "All matter originates and exists only by virtue of a force... We must assume behind this force the existence of a conscious and intelligent Mind. This Mind is the matrix of all matter." - Max Planck (See also Hermeticism)
• "If you want to find the secrets of the universe, think in terms of energy, frequency and vibration." - Nikola Tesla

• Aldous Huxley -  “One Reality, all-comprehensive, contains within itself all realities.” 
• The Hux again  - “The man who wishes to know the "that" which is "thou" may set to work in any one of three ways. He may begin by looking inwards into his own particular thou and, by a process of "dying to self" --- self in reasoning, self in willing, self in feeling --- come at last to knowledge of the self, the kingdom of the self, the kingdom of God that is within. Or else he may begin with the thous existing outside himself, and may try to realize their essential unity with God and, through God, with one another and with his own being. Or, finally (and this is doubtless the best way), he may seek to approach the ultimate That both from within and from without, so that he comes to realize God experimentally as at once the principle of his own thou and of all other thous, animate and inanimate.” 
• Vedanta - "There is no help for you outside of yourself; you are the creator of the universe. Like the silkworm you have built a cocoon around yourself.... Burst your own cocoon and come out as the beautiful butterfly, as the free soul. Then alone you will see Truth."  - Swami Vivekandanda

• Cannabis - "What I really value about cannabis is the way in which it allows one to be taken by surprise by unexpected ideas" _ Terence McKenna
• Psilocybin - "Psilocybin is that spark that will lead to a quantum leap in our consciousness.  And psilocybin helps you laugh." - Paul Stamets
• Ayahuasca - "The easy part is drinking ayahuasca. Now you're along for the ride. The hard part is integrating your experience into your day-to-day." - Tim Sae Koo
• Bonus Aya Quote - "All politicians should be required to drink ayahuasca 10 times before taking office." - Graham Hancock
• LSD (Not from plants)  - "LSD is just a tool to turn us into what we are supposed to be." - Albert Hofmann
• "Psychedelics show you what's in and on your mind, those subconscious thoughts and feelings that are hidden, covered up, forgotten, out of sight, maybe even completely unexpected, but nevertheless imminently present." - Rick Strassman
• "If you get the message, hang up the phone.  For psychedelic drugs are simply instruments, like microscopes, telescopes, and telephones. The biologist does not sit with eye permanently glued to the microscope, he goes away and works on what he has seen." - Alan Watts
• "All the great exponents of the literature of psychedelics come face to face with this dilemma: they require language to talk about the inadequacy of words" - David Lenson

• General Relativity
• "Everything is energy and that's all there is to it. Match the frequency of the reality you want and you cannot help but get that reality. It can be no other way. This is not philosophy, this is physics."
• "A human being is a part of the whole called by us universe, a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings as something separated from the rest, a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to enhance all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty."
• "If they want to see me, here I am. If they want to see my clothes, open my closet and show them my suits."
• "The distinction between past, present, and future is only a stubbornly persistent illusion."

• "So in this idea, then, everybody is fundamentally the ultimate reality. Not God in a politically kingly sense, but God in the sense of being the self, the deep-down basic whatever there is. And you're all that, only you're pretending you're not. And it's perfectly OK to pretend you're not, to be perfectly convinced, because this is the whole notion of drama."
• "This present moment never comes to be and it never ceases to be, it is simply our minds that construct the continuity of thoughts we call time. In the present moment is nirvana."
• Self improvement is a dangerous form of vanity. By the age of 35 one's character is firmly formed and must be regarded as an instrument to be used, rather than changed." (Oh shit I dunno about that one)

• Christian Messianic Figure
• "You have heard it said, don't commit murder, and all who commit murder will be in danger of judgement. But I say to you that everyone who is angry with their brother or sister will be in danger of judgement."
• “Ask, and you will receive. Search, and you will find. Knock, and the door will be opened to you.
• "For those who have will receive more and they will have more than enough. But as for those who don’t have, even the little they have will be taken away from them."
• “Prophets are honored everywhere except in their own hometowns and in their own households.”
• "I assure you that if two of you agree on earth about anything you ask, then my Father who is in heaven will do it for you. For where two or three are gathered in my name, I’m there with them. 
• "You must love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your being, and with all your mind. This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: You must love your neighbor as you love yourself."
•  "Whoever has ears should hear. There is light within a person of light and it shines on the whole world. If it does not shine it is dark."

• Kundalini -  “The coiled serpent, Shakti represents the feminine elements within the self. Tantric rituals are used to enhance the union between a person's male and female elements.”  - Shulamit Ambalu
• Action, Method, Union, Highest Union
• Spiritual alchemy - "Tantra is a complete science of self-realization, based on the cumulative wisdom of centuries of exploration into the meaning of life and consciousness." - Osho
• The sex stuff

• The Bible lowkey slaps, from a certain point of view. Most of Proverbs is pretty good.
• Let your yes mean yes and your no mean no.
• For with much wisdom comes much sorrow, the more knowledge, the more grief.
• Whoever loves his life loses it, and whoever hates his life in this world will keep it for eternal life.
• Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.
• If your eye causes you to fall into sin, tear it out and throw it away. If your right hand causes you to fall into sin, chop if off and throw it away.
• Do not conform to the pattern of this world but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.
• Leave the presence of a fool, for there you do not meet words of knowledge.

• How to Know Higher Worlds - "All knowledge pursued mere for the enrichment of personal learning and the accumulation of personal treasure leads you away from the path; but all knowledge pursued for growth to ripeness within the process of human ennoblement and cosmic development brings you a step forward."
• "When we raise ourselves through meditation to what unites us with the spirit, we quicken something within us that is eternal and unlimited by birth and death. Once we have experienced this eternal part in us, we can no longer doubt its existence.  Meditation is thus the way to knowing and beholding the eternal, indestructible, essential centre of our being."
• "Receive the child in reverence, educate them in love, and send them forth in freedom."

• Tao Te Ching - Simplicity, patience, compassion. These three are your greatest treasures.  Simple in actions and thoughts - you return to the source of being. Patient with both friends and enemies - you accord with the way things are. Compassionate toward yourself - you reconcile all beings in the world.
• Give evil nothing to oppose and it will disappear by itself.
• Free from desire, you realize the mystery. Caught in desire, you see only the manifestations.
• Taoism

• Food of the Gods - "If the ego is not regularly and repeatedly dissolved in the unbounded hyperspace of the Transcendent Other, there will always be a slow drift away from the sense of self as part of nature's larger whole."
• The Archaic Revival - "The Archaic Revival is a clarion call to recover our birthright, however uncomfortable that may make us. It is a call to realize that life lived in the absence of the psychedelic experience upon which primordial shamanism is based is life trivialized, life denied, life enslaved to the ego and its fear of dissolution in the mysterious matrix of feeling that is all around us."
• Stoned ape theory, Novelty theory.
• "What we call reality if in fact nothing more than a culturally sanctioned and linguistically reinforced hallucination."
• "The imagination is the golden pathway to everywhere."

• Secret Teaching of All Ages
• "Man's threefold lower nature - consisting of his physical organism, his emotional nature, and his mental faculties - reflects the light of his threefold Divinity and bears witness of It in the physical world. Man's animal nature partakes of the earth; his divine nature of the heavens; his human nature of the mediator."
• "We can only escape from the world by by outgrowing the world. Death may take man out of the world but only wisdom can take the world out of the man. As long as the human being is obsessed by worldliness, he will suffer from the Karmic consequences of false allegiances. When however, worldliness is transmuted into Spiritual Integrity he is free, even through he still dwells physically among worldly things."
• "When the human race learns to read the language of symbolism, a great veil will fall from the eyes of men. They shall then know truth and, more than that, they shall realize that from the beginning truth has been in the world unrecognized, save by a small and gradually increasing number."
• So, so much more

• Teachings of Don Juan - "Anything is one of a million paths. Therefore you must always keep in mind that a path is only a path; if you feel you should not follow it, you must not stay with it under any conditions. To have such clarity you must lead a disciplined life. Only then will you know that any  path is only a path and there is no affront, to oneself or to others, in dropping it if that is what the heart tells you to do. But your decision to keep on the path or to leave it must be free from fear or ambition. I warn you."
• Toltec teachings, 
• Sorcery -  "Intent is a force that exists in the universe. When sorcerers (those who live of the source) beckon to intent, it comes to them and sets up the path for attainment, which means that sorcerers always accomplish what they set out to do." 
• Three Attentions -  "To explain these concepts I've made a three-part, uneven division of our consciousness. The smallest, the first attention, or the consciousness that every normal person has developed in order to deal with the daily world, encompasses the awareness of the physical body. Another larger portion, the second attention, is the awareness we need in order to perceive our luminous cocoon and to act as luminous beings. The second attention is brought forth through deliberate training or by an accidental trauma, and it encompasses the awareness of the luminous body. The last portion, which is the largest, is the third attention. It's an immeasurable consciousness which engages undefinable aspects of the awareness of the physical and the luminous bodies."
• “The trick is in what one emphasizes. We either make ourselves miserable, or we make ourselves happy. The amount of work is the same.”

The World provides the conditions for man's work towards perfection, and in return man aids the World towards its completion, so that which has been separated reunites." - Z'ev ben Shimon Halevi

• Explores and explains the energy patterns that create and unify all things and reveals the precise way that the energy of creation organized itself.
• Plato and his Solids - "So their combinations with themselves and with each other give rise to endless complexities, which anyone who is to give a likely account of reality must survey."
• Schwaller de Lubicz -“The Golden Number is a mathematical definition of a proportional function which all of nature obeys, whether it be a mollusk shell, the leaves of plants, the proportions of the animal body, the human skeleton, or the ages of growth in man.”  
• Pythagoras - All is number. "There is geometry in the humming of the strings, there is music in the spacing of the spheres."
• Robert J Gilbert - Vesica Institute  "Sacred geometry is a relatively modern term for the study of the archetypal patterns that create everything in the material world.  At every scale of existence, from the subatomic to the galactic, the same key patterns bring all things into existence."

• 4 Agreements -  "What you are seeing and hearing right now is nothing but a dream. You are dreaming right now in this moment. You are dreaming with the brain awake. Dreaming is the main function of the mind, and the mind dreams twenty-four hours a day. It dreams when the brain is awake, and it also dreams when the brain is asleep. The difference is that when the brain is awake, there is a material frame that makes us perceive things in a linear way. When we go to sleep we do not have the frame, and the dream has the tendency to change constantly. Humans are dreaming all the time. 
• Before we were born the humans before us created a big outside dream that we will call society's dream or the dream of the planet. The dream of the planet is the collective dream of billions of smaller, personal dreams, which together create a dream of a family, a dream of a community, a dream of a city, a dream of a country, and finally a dream of the whole humanity. The dream of the planet includes all of society's rules, its beliefs, its laws, its religions, its different cultures and ways to be, its governments, schools, social events, and holidays. "
• Be impeccable with your word
• Don't take anything personally
• Don't make assumptions
• Always do your best

• Learned man should not rejoice in what he loves nor recoil from what disgusts him; secure in understanding, un-deluded, knowing the infinite spirit, he abides in it.
• Detached from external contacts, he discovers joy in himself; joined by discipline to the infinite spirit, the Self attains inexhaustible joy.
• Delights from external objects are wombs of suffering; in their beginning is their end, and no wise man delights in them.
• A man able to endure the force of desire and anger before giving up his body is disciplined and joyful.
• The man of discipline has joy, delight and light within; becoming the infinite spirit, he finds the pure calm of infinity.
• Seers who can destroy their sins, cut through doubt, master the Self, and delight in the good of all creatures attain the pure calm of infinity. 

The fifth teaching, Renunciation of of Action, 20-25.

• The Red Book -  “You open the gates of the soul to let the dark flood of chaos flow into your order and meaning. If you marry the ordered to the chaos you produce the divine child, the supreme meaning beyond meaning and meaninglessness.” 
• Seven Sermons to the Dead -  “Perhaps because alchemy combines the ancient, Gnostic focus on the immaterial and transcendent soul, or spark, with the modern, scientific-like focus on the transformation of worldly matter, it serves to connect the two." 
• Archetypes -  “There is good reason for supposing that the archetypes are the unconscious images of the instincts themselves, in other words, that they are patterns of instinctual behaviour.” 
• Shadow Work -  "The shadow is a moral problem that challenges the whole ego-personality, for no one can become conscious of the shadow without considerable moral effort. To become conscious of it involves recognizing the dark aspects of the personality as present and real. This act is the essential condition for any kind of self-knowledge."
• Collective Unconscious - "The collective unconscious contains the whole spiritual heritage of mankind's evolution born anew in the brain structure of every individual. In fact the whole of mythology could be taken as a sort of projection of the collective unconscious."

• Eliphas Levi -  "Magic is the divinity of man conquered by science in union with faith; the true Magi are Men-Gods, in virtue of their intimate union with the divine principle." "To practice magic is to be a quack; to know magic is to be a sage."
• John Michael Greer - "There's a rich irony in the insistence that magical thinking is less useful than scientific thinking, because magical thinking is exactly the form of human thought that deals with the realm of motivations, values, and goals that scientific thinking handles so poorly."
• Aleister Crowley - "Indubitably, Magick is one of the subtlest and most difficult of the sciences and arts. There is more opportunity for errors of comprehension, judgement and practice than in any other branch of physics."
• Arthur C. Clarke - "Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic."
• Sigmund Freud - "A layman will no doubt find it hard to understand how pathological disorders of the body and mind can be eliminated by 'mere' words. He will feel that he is being asked to believe in magic. And he will not be so very wrong, for the words which we use in our everyday speech are nothing other than watered-down magic."
• Heinrich Cornelius Agrippa - "I confess that Magic teacheth many superfluous things, and curious prodigies for ostentation; leave them as empty things, yet be not ignorant of their causes. But those things which are for the profit of men - for the turning away of evil events, for the destroying of sorceries, for the curing of diseases, for the exterminating of phantasm, for the preserving of life, honor or fortune - may be done without offense to God or injury to religion, because they are, as profitable, so necessary." 
• So, so many.

• Emerald Tablets - Thanks Thoth
• "Hermeticisim is the science of nature hidden in the hieroglyphics and symbols of the ancient world. It is the search for the principle of life, along with the dream (for those who have not yet achieved it) of accomplishing the great work, that is the reproduction by man of the divine, natural fire which creates and recreates beings." - Eliphas Levi

• The Gateway Experience
• "There is no beginning, there is no end, there is only change. There is no teacher, there is no student, there is only remembering. There is no good, there is no evil, there is only expression. There is no union, there is no sharing, there is only one."
• "The principle attempt is to be as specific as possible in language understandable to scientists and layman alike, with avoidance of ambiguous generalities."

• Ra
• “You are every thing, every being, every emotion, every event, every situation. You are unity. You are infinity. You are love/light, light/love. You are. This is the Law of One.” 
• "The one intelligent infinity invested itself in an exploration of many-ness. Due to the infinite possibilities of intelligent infinity, there is no ending to many-ness. The exploration thus is free to continue infinitely into an eternal present."
• "You are not separate from others, but connected in a vast web of consciousness."
• "Accepting responsibility for your thoughts, words, and actions is key to personal evolution."

• "The Great Work is, before all things, the creation of man by himself, that is to say, the full and entire conquest of his faculties and his future; it is especially the perfect emancipation of his will" 
• "Weak people talk and do not act, strong people act and keep quiet."
• "When we love, we see the infinite in the finite. We find the Creator in the creation."
• "Judge not; speak hardly at all; love and act."
• "There is nothing more to controlling demons than to do good and fear nothing."
• "A good teacher must be able to put himself in the place of those who find learning hard."
• "Every intention which does not assert itself by deeds is a vain intention, and the speech which expresses it is idle speech. It is action which proves life and establishes will."

• Father of fractal geometry

• Definitely not Shakespeare
• “Read not to contradict and confute; nor to believe and take for granted; nor to find talk and discourse; but to weigh and consider. Some books are to be tasted, others to be swallowed, and some few to be chewed and digested: that is, some books are to be read only in parts, others to be read, but not curiously, and some few to be read wholly, and with diligence and attention.” 
• "A little philosophy inclineth man's mind to atheism; but depth in philosophy bringeth men's minds about to religion."
• “Begin doing what you want to do now. We are not living in eternity. We have only this moment, sparkling like a star in our hand and melting like a snowflake.” 
• “The inquiry of truth, which is the love-making, or the wooing of it, the knowledge of truth, which is the presence of it, and the belief of truth, which is the enjoying of it, is the sovereign good of human nature.” 

• A horse walks into a bar and orders a pint. The barkeep says "you're in here pretty often. Think you might be an alcoholic?", to which the horse says "I don't think I am.", and vanishes from existence.                                                                   (So that joke is about Descartes' famous philosophy of 'I think therefore, I am", but to explain this before telling the joke would be putting Descartes before the horse.)
• “To know what people really think, pay attention to what they do, rather than what they say.” 
• “In order to determine whether we can know anything with certainty, we first have to doubt everything we know” 

• “The true measure of a man is not his intelligence or how high he rises in this freak establishment. No, the true measure of a man is this: how quickly can he respond to the needs of others and how much of himself he can give.” 
• Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?
• “The basic tool for the manipulation of reality is the manipulation of words. If you can control the meaning of words, you can control the people who must use them.” 
• “There exists, for everyone, a sentence - a series of words - that has the power to destroy you. Another sentence exists, another series of words, that could heal you. If you're lucky you will get the second, but you can be certain of getting the first.”
