| | I am the Snake that giveth Knowledge & Delight and bright glory, and stir the hearts of men with drunkenness. To worship me take wine and strange drugs whereof I will tell my prophet, & be drunk thereof! They shall not harm ye at all. It is a lie, this folly against self. The exposure of innocence is a lie. Be strong, o man! lust, enjoy all things of sense and rapture: fear not that any God shall deny thee for this. |
| | What man has built, god shall not snoweth upon. |
| | The closer you get to the light, the greater your shadow becomes. |
| | The only true darkness is in the hearts of those who refuse to follow the path [of Origin]. Otherwise there is at least a small measure of light, and where there is light, the Ori see all! |
| | There’s an old saying about the evolution of every great truth: First, people say they don’t believe it; then, they say it contradicts the Bible; and third, they say they’ve known it all along. |
| | |
| | You have your way. I have my way. As for the right way, the correct way, and the only way, it does not exist. |
| | "CAT!!!"
A shout to remind one to be aware of one's surroundings, especially open doors, for many of our members are furry, and quick on their feet. |
| | There are many words, but only one truth. |
| |
It is not really Hell unless it is your own. |
| | Everyone, even a liar, has their own truth. |
| | Make yourself one with the path and it will lead you on your journey to enlightenment. |
| | When the road before you splits in two, take the third path. |
| | The truth eludes he who does not seek it with both eyes wide. |
| | Seek not the wickedness amongst your neighbors, lest it find purchase in your own house. |
| | Those who follow the path of righteousness shall be raised up high. |
| | Pity not the blind man, for he is hindered not by the visions of this world, but rather pity yourselves, for he will see the light before you do."
|
| | Truth is elusive to those who refuse to see with both eyes wide. |
| | Debating someone who has abandoned logic is like giving medicine to the dead. |
| | Change is inevitable. Growth is optional. |
| | Faithless is he who says farewell when the road darkens. |
| | Do, or do not. There is not try. |
| | Truth is a three-edged sword. |
| | jedi and sith are mere interpretations of the force, but not its true voice |
| | Evil deeds won't do themselves. |
| | Thou shalt not love, worship or supplicate any other gods before thineself. |
| | Has anyone seen my pants? |
| | "Has anyone seen my pants?" - The moral of the story being: pants are unimportant to the path to happiness. |
| | Out of the frying pan, into the freezer. |
| | Light travels faster than sound. that is why some people appear bright until you hear them speak. |
| | Life's ambition is not to show up at your grave site well perserved; but rather to come sliding in sideways shouting "Frak Yeah! What a ride!" |
| | Fear not the Ori. Fear the darkness that would conceal the knowledge of the universe. Believe in the truth of all things, and you too may find the path to enlightenment. |
| | Lessons of days gone by teach us what will come to pass. |
| |
Lessons of days gone by teach us what will come to pass.
Doesn't help us pick lotto numbers. |
| | Where we come from and where we are going are all the same. |
| | |
| | Eat, Drink, and Be Merry; But do not drive under the Touch of the Holy Spirits. |
| | All who believe the Word of the Ori may be forgiven... |
| | Do only that which is right. |
| | The future is predetermined by the character of those who shape it. |
| | Our thoughts form the universe. They always matter. |
| | The flame also reminds us that life is precious. As each flame is unique; when it goes out, it's gone forever. There will never be another quite like it."
|
| | Every individual in the world has a destiny that the individual should be allowed to pursue |
| | It is unwise to startle someone trained in combat. |
| | Never underestimate the power of a dark clown. |
| | To know the Ori is to know thyself. |
| | One man can make a difference. |

“We’re focused on trying to help people transform trauma and loss into hope and potential,” he said. “Everybody’s got trauma and loss in their life. Everybody’s got a hard life. Being able to turn that into a living sensation and not just a loss, that’s at the heart of our mission — to help people realize you can’t overcome your body, you can’t overcome your life. You have to listen to your life and let it be a teacher and not just try to overpower it.”
“When we let our presence diminish within our body, our life isn’t as fulfilling and powerful." |
| | Life is Death
Life's illusive forms are strange and many. Look around the world. Look around your mind.
Death is not one of these finite illusions. For every spiritual death, there occurs a physical birth. For every physical death there occurs a spiritual birth.
It would seem, therefore, we are immortal. Energy does not cease to exist, it merely changes form.
If we are left behind, or exist on a different energy plane, then we suffer absence and loss; we mourn.
To revel in joy for all the births and all the deaths is to let go, so that at some point in time we will all reunite and celebrate the reunion. |
| | Go placidly amid the noise and the haste and remember what peace there may be in silence. |
| | Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans. If you compare yourself with others you may become vain or bitter, for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself. |
| | Pieced together from various quotes made by various vulcans over the years...

The earth was blue, but there was no god.
|
| | When the mind is enlightened, the spirit is freed, and the body matters not. |
| |
Your fate is in your hands |
| | All religions are true, but none are literal. |
| | In every color there is the light
In every stone sleeps a crystal
Remember the Shaman
When he used to say
Man is the dream of the dolphin |
| | It came out from the deep
To help and understand
but not to kill.
It takes many lives
to suceed
to clear the debts
of many, many
hundred years.
|
| |
If you understand or if you don't,
if you believe or if you doubt,
there is a universal justice,
and the eyes of truth
are always watching you. |
| |
If nice guys always finish last;
and the last in line is always the first to let you down;
what does that really say about nice guys? |
| |
Change is the essential process of all existance. |
| | Where there was darkness, the Ori brought light.
Where there was despair, the Ori brought hope.
Where there was ignorance, the Ori brought wisdom.
Where there was silence, the Ori brought the gift of speach. |
| | A difference that makes no difference is not a difference. |
| | Dont be afraid to be weak
Dont be too proud to be strong
Just look into your heart my friend
That will be the return to yourself
The return to innocence
.
If you want, then start to laugh
If you must, then start to cry
Be yourself dont hide
Just believe in destiny
.
Dont care what people say
Just follow your own way
Dont give up and use the chance
To return to innocence
.
Thats not the beginning of the end
Thats the return to yourself
The return to innocence
|
| | In seeking wisdom, the
first
stage is silence, the
second
is listening, the
third
remembrance, the
fourth
practicing, the
fifth
teaching. |
| |
Whoever undertakes to set himself up as a judge of Truth and Knowledge is shipwrecked by the laughter of the gods. |
| | Nature contains opposites which seek to balance. |
| | Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but not their own facts. |
| | Destiny is the plan. Free-will is the action. Experience is the result. |
| | Each friend represents a world within us, a world posibility not born until they arrive, and it is only by this meeting that a new world is born. |
| | It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it. |
| | To whom much is given, much is required. |
| | And when two souls that are destined to be together find each other, their streams of light flow together, and a single, brighter light goes forth from their united being. |
| | We are the hurdles we leap, to be ourselves |
| | You will never be happy if you continue to search for what happiness consists of. You will never live if you are looking for the meaning of life. |
| | All that dies shall be reborn...
All that falls shall rise again... |
