The Temple of Luxor - Aphorisms of Truth

I believe this to be some of the most important information a person can know. This thread will quickly become your favorite. Bookmark now.

YOUR JOB: Expand one aphorism at a time in the comments. Give us perspective!

Upon the walls of Luxor in Egypt, the Temple of Man encodes a large number of Aphorisms defining the body (corpus) of man. In Buddhism, it is known that the Buddha Body and the Bodhi Mind are both given to Mankind as gifts, representing the first step in understanding God's nature (DHARMA). Manu, as he is referred to in Hinduism, is the first man born. The literal translation of Manu is "To Think." As Aristotle would tell us, the highest Arete of mankind is Philosophy. There is no higher philosophy than this, which is why Egypt produced the Philosophy we know today. I believe this to be the source.

- As to deserving, know that the gift of heaven is free; this gift of Knowledge is so great that no effort whatever could hope to 'deserve' it.

- The best and shortest road towards knowledge of truth is Nature.

- For every joy there is a price to be paid.

- If his heart rules him, his conscience will soon take the place of the rod.

- What you are doing does not matter so much as what you are learning from doing it. It is better not to know and to know that one does not know, than presumptuously to attribute some random meaning to symbols.

- If you search for the laws of harmony, you will find knowledge.

- If you are searching for a Neter [source of creation], observe Nature! Exuberance is a good stimulus towards action, but the inner light grows in silence and concentration.

- Not the greatest Master can go even one step for his disciple; in himself he must experience each stage of developing consciousness. Therefore he will know nothing for which he is not ripe.

- The body is the house of god. That is why it is said, "Man know yourself."

- True teaching is not an accumulation of knowledge; it is an awaking of consciousness which goes through successive stages.

- The man who knows how to lead one of his brothers towards what he has known may one day be saved by that very brother.

- People bring about their own undoing through their tongues.

- If one tries to navigate unknown waters one runs the risk of shipwreck.

- Leave him in error who loves his error.

- Every man is rich in excuses to safeguard his prejudices, his instincts, and his opinions.

- To know means to record in one's memory; but to understand means to blend with the thing and to assimilate it oneself.

- There are two kinds of error: blind credulity and piecemeal criticism. Never believe a word without putting its truth to the test; discernment does not grow in laziness; and this faculty of discernment is indispensable to the Seeker. Sound skepticism is the necessary condition for good discernment; but piecemeal criticism is an error.

- Love is one thing, knowledge is another.

- True sages are those who give what they have, without meanness and without secret!

- An answer brings no illumination unless the question has matured to a point where it gives rise to this answer which thus becomes its fruit. Therefore learn how to put a question.

- What reveals itself to me ceases to be mysterious for me alone: if I unveil it to anyone else, he hears mere words which betray the living sense: Profanation, but never revelation.

- The first concerning the 'secrets': all cognition comes from inside; we are therefore initiated only by ourselves, but the Master gives the keys.

- The second concerning the 'way': the seeker has need of a Master to guide him and lift him up when he falls, to lead him back to the right way when he strays.

- Understanding develops by degrees.

- If the Master teaches what is error, the disciple's submission is slavery ; if he teaches truth, this submission is ennoblement.

- There grows no wheat where there is no grain.

- The only thing that is humiliating is helplessness.

- An answer if profitable in proportion to the intensity of the quest.

- Listen to your conviction, even if they seem absurd to your reason.

- Know the world in yourself. Never look for yourself in the world, for this would be to project your illusion

-To teach one must know the nature of those whom one is teaching.

- In every vital activity it is the path that matters.

- The way of knowledge is narrow.

- Each truth you learn will be, for you, as new as if it had never been written.

- The only active force that arises out of possession is fear of losing the object of possession.

- If you defy an enemy by doubting his courage you double it.

- The nut doesn't reveal the tree it contains.

- For knowledge... you should know that peace is an indispensable condition of getting it.

- The first thing necessary in teaching is a master; the second is a pupil capable of carrying on the tradition.

- Peace is the fruit of activity, not of sleep.

- Envious greed must govern to possess and ambition must possess to govern.

- When the governing class isn't chosen for quality it is chosen for material wealth: this always means decadence, the lowest stage a society can reach.

- One foot isn't enough to walk with.

- Our senses serve to affirm, not to know.

- We mustn't confuse mastery with mimicry, knowledge with superstitious ignorance.

- Physical consciousness is indispensable for the achievement of knowledge.

- A man can't be judge of his neighbor' intelligence. His own vital experience is never his neighbor's.

- No discussion can throw light if it wanders from the real point.

- Your body is the temple of knowledge.

- Experience will show you, a Master can only point the way.

- A house has the character of the man who lives in it.

- All organs work together in the functioning of the whole.

- A man's heart is his own Neter.

- A pupil may show you by his own efforts how much he deserves to learn from you.

- Routine and prejudice distort vision. Each man thinks his own horizon is the limit of the world.

- You will free yourself when you learn to be neutral and follow the instructions of your heart without letting things perturb you. This is the way of Maat.

- Judge by cause, not by effect.

- Growth in consciousness doesn't depend on the will of the intellect or its possibilities but on the intensity of the inner urge.

- Every man must act in the rhythm of his time... such is wisdom.

- Men need images. Lacking them they invent idols. Better then to found the images on realities that lead the true seeker to the source.

- Maat, who links universal to terrestrial, the divine with the human is incomprehensible to the cerebral intelligence.

- Have the wisdom to abandon the values of a time that has passed and pick out the constituents of the future. An environment must be suited to the age and men to their environment.

- Everyone finds himself in the world where he belongs. The essential thing is to have a fixed point from which to check its reality now and then.

- Always watch and follow nature.

- All seed answer light, but the color is different.

- The plant reveals what is in the seed.

Where will you find the central essence of all religion? Egypt, Israel, India, China. East to West / BodhiDharma must do Yoga [UNION]!

Why did BodhiDharma go West? Now you know. Do the same.

More in the next post....

- A phenomenon always arises from the interaction of complementary. If you want something look for the complement that will elicit it. Seth causes Horus. Horus redeems Seth.

- Popular beliefs on essential matters must be examined in order to discover the original thought.

- It is the passive resistance from the helm that steers the boat.

- The key to all problems is the problem of consciousness.

- Man must learn to increase his sense of responsibility and of the fact that everything he does will have its consequences.

- Man must learn to increase his sense of responsibility and of the fact that everything he does will have its consequences.

- If you would build something solid, don't work with wind: always look for a fixed point, something you know that is stable... yourself.

- If you would know yourself, take yourself as starting point and go back to its source; your beginning will disclose your end.

- Images are nearer reality than cold definitions.

- Seek peacefully, you will find.

- Organization is impossible unless those who know the laws of harmony lay the foundation.

- It is no use whatever preaching Wisdom to men: you must inject it into their blood.

- Knowledge is consciousness of reality. Reality is the sum of the laws that govern nature and of the causes from which they flow.

- Social good is what brings peace to family and society.

- Knowledge is not necessarily wisdom.

- By knowing one reaches belief. By doing one gains conviction. When you know, dare.

- Altruism is the mark of a superior being.

- All is within yourself. Know your most inward self and look for what corresponds with it in nature.

- The seed cannot sprout upwards without simultaneously sending roots into the ground.

- The seed includes all the possibilities of the tree.... The seed will develop these possibilities, however, only if it receives corresponding energies from the sky.

- Grain must return to the earth, die, and decompose for new growth to begin.

- Man, know yourself... and you shalt know the gods.

So awesome! Thank you for this. Let me give you a parallel.

a reply to: DayAfterTomorrow

haha i give u a video u give me a book XD ill save it

a reply to: DayAfterTomorrow

Not just any book. You'll start reading and won't stop. Let me also give you this in relation to the guy's statement about Chaos crying out for the Light:

First, the Basis of ALL Religion is in your Video and This undersatnding of Yama and Manu - Chaos and Light - Underworld and Mankind

MADHU

"Skt. in the mythology of the Puranas, the personifications of darkness , one of the two primal forces that emerged from the primal chaos as "firstborn"; the personification of the other primal force, that of light, was Brahma (Abraham). These two divinities were among the most important DEVAS of Vedic period. They fught each other constantly, but neigher was able to destory the other (See Abraxas). In later Hindu cosmology, Madhu was slain by Vishnu in his manifestation as Krishna (Christ), and Brahma bbecame one element in Hindu trinity (Trimurti)." Shambhala Encyclopedia

Harry's underworld is Voldemort. Dumbledore is his higher nature in the future of himself. They are all three ONE.

This Video of the Supreme Court of Israel is now in context to its founding. Why do they see themselves as the center of God's attention? Power. What is God's center in truth? Love for all beings, nations, peoples and generations. LOVE! By this, I do not mean that the Jews are enemies. Not at all. The Builders (Masons) who try to rule the world reject the cornerstone of the temple, which is love. Builderberg is a word that represents the Mason (Builder) and a Berg (High Place). We know them today as the problem of our foundation built on Babylon. Another subject for another day.

In truth, we are all chosen. Egypt is the key to knowing why. Your video is more profound than you may realize. This thread can open eyes. Thank you! Israel is the light unto the nations, not out of some perceived pride of God's love, but because Israel is the negation of the statement, "God is no respecter of person." In other words, God is LOVE for all his creation. LOVE is the ruler. ALL must be loved. Israel is our light of Egypt and the way Babylon will be removed forever. LOVE is the gift the Builders must use as a sure foundation. Mankind is finally waking up to this.

1 John 4

8 He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.

LUXOR: - As to deserving, know that the gift of heaven is free; this gift of Knowledge is so great that no effort whatever could hope to 'deserve' it.

Again, I really love the video you posted. Here is another complement.

"He is only dreaming, and so are you." - Bodhidharma

a reply to: AlonsoSchneeweiss
No one is dreaming. There is simply dreaming - 'dreaming' is oneness. If there were 'someone' having a 'dream' that would be two.
When the two become one the Kingdom shall be revealed.

a reply to: AlonsoSchneeweiss

Abraham did not sacrifice Issac. One is Echad, not Yachid. Look those words up. Knowing all things is the gift of heaven. God can only give.

Did you notice this?

Tru

Expand on one?

I like this one:

- If you are searching for a Neter [source of creation], observe Nature!

My translation: All things are created by Nature, not a god. Life IS.


(Edit below)

To know Neter:
Look into a star, through Division of her Being she creates life, (monads) to go forth and diversify. Children we are, monads born of the meeting of Cosmic Fire and the Waters of Time.

Look into a womb, a universe of stars . . .

From whence come stars? The Sea of Chaos.

From whence comes the Sea of Chaos? Some things have always been.

a reply to: Whatsthisthen

Sorry to let you down, but Nouti is the Coptic name for the highest God and Creator, parallel to the Egyptians own conception of the same as Neter. Reference the Tao and Dharma as the nature of the Absolute God. Love, which is what God is.

a reply to: Whatsthisthen

I like the edit, but God's nature is both male and female as one. The Spirit (mind) is the Tao and gateway of named things. Still God.

Mind.
