FEAR KNOWS
NO
SHAME

YOUR  IDEA
OF GOD
IS
COCK-EYED

 
WHAT’S MORE
BEAUTIFUL
THAN
USEFUL
 

 

YOU CAN’T MOVE
A MOUNTAIN
WITH WIND

He who walks
in the way of God
is distinguished by five things:
1) He is free from anxiety
   about his daily needs.
2) Everything he does is done   for the glory of God.
3) He struggles constantly
     with his weaknesses
    and negative feelings.
4) He strives to remember
      himself always
      and in everything.
5) He remembers that he is
     mortal and may die
      at any moment.

 

How many 

have been lured 

into destruction

by being well treated, 

have been misled 

by being protected, 

have been seduced 

by being well spoken of!

God the glorified

tries no one

with a trial like

fulfillment.

REB MENDEL
SAID ONCE
TO HIS FOLLOWERS:
I WANT YOU TO ABSTAIN FROM SIN,
NOT BECAUSE IT IS FORBIDDEN TO SIN, BUT SIMPLY
FOR LACK OF TIME.

THE GERMANS,
LIKE THE RUSSIANS, TAKE GOOD-WILL
FOR WEAKNESS, TOLERANCE
FOR INEFFECTIVENESS

EXERCISE
GENEROSITY
NOT AS A VIRTUE
BUT AS A
CORRECTIVE

                                 
Concentrate
upon spirituality
as you will.
It will shun you
if you are unworthy.
Write about it, comment
upon it. It will decline to
benefit you; it will flee.
But, if it sees your
concentration,
it may come to your hand
like a trained bird.
Like a peacock,
it will not sit in an
unworthy place.

MESSAGE TO THE DEVIL:
You’re very clever you weak little devil.
You grab at anything that will
help you make an impression,
so you tried to grab the Work.
Power over  others is really what
you wanted in order to maintain
your as if existence.
Frightened little devil you must
continually try to fool them all.
Tell them they don't remember,
tell them they have no respect,
tell them they lie, make them
guilty guilty guilty,
crush them, yell at them,
show them how to be ruthless -
just like you.
You are an evil little devil.
But now the Work
has stuck in your throat and
you can no longer spit it out.
The Work caught you
at your own game.   

AND NO
HUMAN BEING
CAN DIE
SAVE BY
GOD’S LEAVE,
AT A TERM
PRE-ORDAINED

ONE’S BRAIN
IS SO ACCUSTOMED
TO CONFLICT
THAT ONE REJECTS ANY OTHER
FORM OF LIVING

 

WHEN THE MIND 

IS WEIGHTED-DOWN BY THE THINGS 

IT HAS GATHERED, THE HEART 

WITHERS.

NO ONE
CAN REPENT
UNTIL
GOD GIVES HIM
THE POWER

‘WE SOUGHT SOLOMON’S RING
IN ALL THINGS... 
WE FOUND IT
IN SPIRITUAL POVERTY, AND THERE
WE FOUND REPOSE.  NOTHING WAS SO PLEASING AS THIS.’

 

The devil keeps hammering

 his subtle persuasion until

 the learned man becomes

 convinced that he should 

set about teaching people. 

Then the devil intimates 

to the scholar,

 “you should embellish your

thoughts with pretty language

 and impressive conceits.

Also play up your

 qualifications. 

Otherwise your words won’t

 have much effect; they

won’t reach people’s hearts

and they will not succeed 

in attaining the truth.”

 

 

GOD CONSCIOUSNESS

 CANNOT BE ATTAINED

BY A MIND THAT IS

HESITANT, 

HYPOCRITICAL, 

EVASIVE, 

CALCULATING,

 REACTIONARY, 

ARGUMENTATIVE, 

PARTIAL, 

TRICKY OR TWISTED 

IN ANY WAY.

 

ST. ISAAC THE SYRIAN SAID:

 

HE WHO 

HAS BEEN ABLE 

TO SEE HIMSELF 

AS HE IS 

IS BETTER 

THAN HE 

WHO HAS BEEN ABLE TO SEE THE ANGELS

 

NOR 

CAST A SHADOW

BETWEEN 

YOURSELF 

AND ALLAH

‘THANK GOD
CHRIST WASN’T KILLED
FIFTY YEARS AGO,
BECAUSE
EVERYONE WOULD BE WALKING AROUND WITH LITTLE
ELECTRIC CHAIRS
AROUND
THEIR NECKS’
