"THERE DO EXIST ENQUIRING MINDS, which long for the truth of the heart, seek it, strive to solve the problems set by life, try to penetrate to the essence of things and phenomena and to penetrate into themselves. If a man reasons and thinks soundly, no matter which path he follows in solving these problems, he must inevitably arrive back at himself, and begin with the solution of the problem of what he is himself and what his place is in the world around him. For without this knowledge, he will have no focal point in his search. Socrates’ words, “Know thyself” remain for all those who seek true knowledge and being."

Manna From Heaven



Drawing ~ Lalo 2008


I met a lovely young man, a seeker of knowledge and wisdom,  at a meeting last week who gave me a book mark, which had the following printed on it:
                                                           ~~~
                                          The Great Commandments
Thou shalt love the Lord with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.

This is the first and great commandment.

And the second is like unto it,
Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.

On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.
                                                                            Matthew 22:37-40
                                                          ~~~

The young man told us he has always wondered what our purpose on earth is and has searched and searched for the answer. His search has taken him on an interesting journey in his life and, at this time, believes the answer is: "Our highest purpose is to become fully conscious; and when we become fully conscious we become pure love - and by doing so aid, along with others who have attained pure consciousness,  in raising [the vibrational level of] humanity."

Thank you, George, for sharing your self with us. I am glad you are here.

Be at Peace, Be Love, BE
