-Samael Aun Weor

God is to be found not in religion, not in systems but in discovering truth in every little thing. Truth is not far away but very near.

- Krishnamurti

Knowing oneself is having achieved identification with one’s own Divine Being.

Consciousness has the potential to increase to an infinite degree.

– The 14th Dalai Lama

Let it be understood that Self-Realisation is the harmonious development of the entire infinite of human possibilities.
