“AN EYE FOR A EYE LEAVES THE WHOLE WORLD BLIND.”
Mahatma Ghandi
 
“You have heard that it was said, ‘AN EYE FOR AN EYE, AND A TOOTH FOR A TOOTH.’ But I say to you, do not resist an evil person; but whoever slaps you on your right cheek, turn the other to him also. “If anyone wants to sue you and take your shirt, let him have your coat also. “Whoever forces you to go one mile, go with him two.” “Give to him who asks of you, and do not turn away from him who wants to borrow from you.
 
“You have heard that it was said, ‘YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR and hate your enemy.’ “But I say to you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, so that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven; for He causes His sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous. “For if you love those who love you, what reward do you have? Do not even the tax collectors do the same? “If you greet only your brothers, what more are you doing than others? Do not even the Gentiles do the same? “Therefore you are to be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect. Jesus Mtthw 5:38-42
 
“Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it.
 
But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.” Jesus Mtthw 7:13-14

ENTERING THE ETERNAL NOW…..

13 “Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.” Mthw 7:13-14 (also cited by many nonreligious folks)

 TO FIND PEACE, QUIET, STILLNESS AND ETERNAL LIFE WE MUST

continually turn away from physical things we don’t need,

give it to the poor who need it, and recycle everything else.

 THE MORE WE HAVE, HAS US! WE ARE POSSESSED BY OUR POSSESSIONS.

 WE ARE ETERNAL SPIRITUAL BEINGS LIVING IN A TEMPORARY BODY.

As we become aware of this inner quiet alertness we enter the nowand begin dropping off those 1000s of years of human conditioning and taking on this Eternal Being that lives in and through us and all that is.
