Tolstoy: Why Enlightened People Always Walk Alone...
All worldly pursuits have but one unavoidable and inevitable end, which is sorrow; acquisitions end in dispersion; buildings in destruction; meetings in separation; births in death. Knowing this, one should, from the very first, renounce acquisitions and storing-up, and building, and meeting; and, faithful to the commands of an eminent Guru, set about realizing the Truth. That alone is the best of religious observances. Milarepa
Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and rightdoing, there is a field. I will meet you there. Rumi
Grief can be the garden of compassion. If you keep your heart open through everything, your pain can become your greatest ally in your life's search for love and wisdom. Rumi
Because of lack of moral principle, human life becomes worthless. Moral principle, truthfulness, is a key factor. If we lose that, then there is no future. Dalai Lama
The dogmatic doctrines of Christianity, especially the RCC and the Evangelical churches of America have manipulated the true teaching of Jesus of Nazareth as they pursued phycological control over the minds of ther "flock".
More truth lies in the Gnostic gospels than anything in the so called holy bible.
The bible, written by men long after Jesus of Nazareth's death, was edited in 325 CE to reflect the wishes of empire and the RCC as well solidifying Christianity under Empire (secular) and Church (spiritual) control.
There are more effective and sincere paths to achieve enlightenment than Christianity in its presently accepted form.
Read the Gnostic Gospels (Dead Sea Scrolls) and find a truer spirituality than what the so called holy bible teaches one. As it is the word of Empire and Church. Not the divine fire that rested in the form of Jesus of Nazareth.
