The Hermeneut

[Talat]

Happy New Year !

May you and your immortality projects live long and prosper !

Two thoughts from the original hermeneut:

"Notice this also my child, that to mankind -- but not to any other mortal animal -- god has granted these two things, mind and reasoned speech, which are worth as much as immortality...If one uses these gifts as he should, nothing will distinguish him from the immortals; instead when he has left the body, both these gifts will guide him to the troop of the gods and the blessed."

~ ~ ~ Corpus Hermeticum XII: 13

"Mind is seen in the act of understanding; god in the act of making." 

~ ~ ~ Corpus Hermeticum XI: 22

""All real living is in meeting." ~~~ Martin Buber

"When the power of love overcomes the love of power, then we shall know peace."
~~ Sri Chimnoy Ghose

"The life of each person is deeply enmeshed in the mystery of death. But it is a mystery which accents thought instead of dulling it, for if anything makes man think intensely about the true nature of life, it is the recurrent theme of death." ~ ~ ~ Meher Baba

"Vocation is matching our heart's deep gladness with the world's hunger." -
~~~ Frederick Buechner

"When I look inside and see that I am nothing, that is wisdom.
When I look outside and see that I am everything that's love.
Between these two my life turns."  ~~ Nasargadatta Maharaj

Visita Interiora Terrae Rectificando Invenies Occultum Lapidum (Visit the Interior Earth and Rectifying you will find the Hidden Stone)

In generosity and helping others be like a river.
In compassion and grace be like the sun.
In concealing others' faults be like the night.
In anger and fury be like the dead.
In modesty and humility be like earth.
In tolerance be like the sea.
Either appear as you are or be as you look.            
                   --Mevlana Jelaluddin Rumi, 1207-1273
