“If you look down upon other people because of your silly religion, then my dear, you need to stop being silly, look up and find a more sagacious ism. Or better still, look Within. Sans isms.”
Fakeer Ishavardas

“Belief or religion is not spirituality.

Fools believe anything. Any idiot can start a religion. And many do. But to whom truth matters, only that one can be spiritual. So, there's an ostentatious difference.

Seeking is half being 'There'.

Each is the other.

Find.”
Fakeer Ishavardas

“Sacrificing animals to a fancied god is a stone-age thought. It is an unrighteous act; is not dharma. It is bad karma. If at all, then, do sacrifice your silly ego, your bad deeds and vile thoughts. The Divine seeks no beastly sacrifice. It is the deed of an un-realized lot.”
Fakeer Ishavardas

Colin Wilson
“But why should life after death prove the truth of religion, any more than life before death does? It may 'prove' that man is a spirit, but even an agnostic can believe that by deciding that he is more than a mere machine.”
Colin Wilson, Poltergeist!

“Endeavour to develop your divine nature, or your devilish instincts will overcome your silly worldly nature.”
Fakeer Ishavardas

“There is only one "I". One consciousness . One life. In quantum reality, metaphysically speaking, out "There" everything is the other thing. That is, at the Beginning and at the End, all is One. Without a you or an I. So live, die accordingly.”
Fakeer Ishavardas

“The human life-essence, let's call it soul, is infinite, unconditioned, eternal immanence of the Whole. The sufi, yogi, free-mystics of East, of India, since yore have known so. Rare is the one who overcomes one's unwholesome-ness to by self discover the Whole.”
Fakeer Ishavardas

“We're made in the image of "That", Which Is. IT is the bio-chemical-life essence. Thus we're not a mere man or a woman, but much, much more. We're the "children of God", so to say. Not even a spirit or a soul. But much, much more.”
Fakeer Ishavardas

“What's at the End of Space? Thereof seeker discovers "That", the basis of What Is - here, there, within, without - the infinite, eternal, innate essence of Existence. One finds: All is One-Self in make. So ends the Eternal Race.”
Fakeer Ishavardas

“You are given this life for free. By the Divine. Value it. For nothing in this world is given to us free. So be good, do good, live and die good. Don't be asinine.”
Fakeer Ishavardas

“The conscious-life-essence-substratum of THAT WHICH IS births everything. Like the sun births heat; unconsciously as if. As curd is inherently present as a potential in milk, so is the cosmos birthed by consciousness of WHAT IS. Thus is all unto each other. Get IT.”
Fakeer Ishavardas

“What is the nature of REALITY

At the END, which is also the BEGINNING, the SEEKER in SELF DISVOVERY finds there's only ONE 'I'.

This "I" is CONSCIOUS. And ALIVE.

IT, in full consciousness, finds it's SELF to be ALL.

"It" is the ETERNAL SOURCE.”
Fakeer Ishavardas

“Belief in this or that anthropomorphic i.e. a human-like god is passe. It just is not. "One" is whatsoever is. Seek "it", the Unified Whole, the Absolute, through science or spirituality, but do. Bookish, traditional metaphysical knowledge of the divine is untrue.”
Fakeer Ishavardas

“Being human means nothing if we cannot be humane. This cannot happen until we learn through science or spirituality that fundamentally, in life substratum and quintessence, we're the mirrored self of everybody else. And in reality and in truth we're one and the same.”
Fakeer Ishavardas

“There is no emptiness anywhere in the Universe or Space. It has been, is, and will ever be full. Of life, consciousness and oneness of the Whole. This is the ethereal metaphysical knowledge of freemystics. Science could use this esoteric truth to find as to 'What Is'.”
Fakeer Ishavardas

“Nobody is above you, no one below. You're as ordinary or extraordinary as any other - since all's an immanent oneness of an indivisible unity of eternity and infinity. So, stand proud; whoever, what you are.”
Fakeer Ishavardas

Adil Alzarooni
“It’s probably easier to heal wounded animals than broken humans.”
Adil Alzarooni, The Red Island: The Gatekeeper

Oli Anderson
“Spirituality’ and ‘nihilism’ are ultimately the same idea but one stands in fullness and the other focuses on where things are empty. Only one is REAL because wholeness is truth and it’s SOMETHING, not NOTHING.”
Oli Anderson, Trust: A Manual for Becoming the Void, Building Flow, and Finding Peace

“We could be spiritual without necessarily being religious, but we can’t possibly be religious without being spiritual; otherwise, we would be missing the essence of religion,
regardless of which one we practice.


Without spirituality, there is no connection to the Higher Power, whom we call God or the Universe. And without that precious connection with The Divine, we would be just practicing rituals and traditions set by our ancestors at a particular time in history.”
Claudys Kantara, Rebel Thoughts of Wisdom: Inspiring Conscious Change for Personal & Collective Growth

Fyodor Dostoevsky
“There are seconds - they come only five or six at a time- when you suddenly feel the presence of an eternal harmony that has been fully attained. This is not something earthly. I'm not saying that it's heavenly, but that man in his earthly form cannot endure it. He must change physically or else die. It is a clear and unambiguous feeling. It's as if you suddenly have a sense of nature as a whole, and you suddenly say: yes, this is true. God, when he was creating the world, said at the end of each day of creation: "Yes, this is true, this is good." This... this is not deep emotion, but is simply joy. You don't forgive anything, because there's no longer anything to forgive. You don't really love - oh, this is higher than love! If it lasts longer than five seconds, your soul can't endure it and must disappear. In these five seconds I live an entire lifetime, and for them I will give my entire life, because it's worth it. In order to endure ten seconds, one must change physically. I think that man should stop giving birth. Why have children, why have evolution if the goal has been attained? In the Gospels it is said that in the resurrection there will be no childbirth, but all will be like God's angels. It's a hint. Is your wife giving birth?”
Fyodor Dostoevsky, Demons

Chris  Nielsen
“My being ‘vibrated’ exactly as my music sounds. The fire in me burned with a great flame — and it also burned myself.”
Chris Nielsen, Being Pyotr Ilyich: Tchaikovsky’s Inner Life, Revealed by Himself 130 Years Later
