The Machine
December 16, 2007
“Without self knowledge,
without understanding
the working and functions
of his machine,
man cannot be free,
he cannot govern himself
and he will always
remain a slave.”

Another wise and beautiful post my sister
Crafted with love,
Reading these words I hear that other oft quoted phrase 'Know thyself' singing in my ears
We have spent our lives facing the wrong way. We need to turn around...
And seek for our treasure within,
Im sending a little note in pink sea glass out across the jewelled sea tonight my sister..
Look for it tommorrow when the foaming lips of the ocean kiss the shore...
There scribbled on that scrap of paper, salty and damp will be four words...
You are the light.
And you are,
You are.
Love, M
Yes, I would agree with that.
If they would others know, first know thyself.
Absolutely -
Very wonderful marriage of image and quote here!
I love the sunset through the walls of the bottle, suggesting a lens to illuminate the truths of our lives....

Maithri,
The soft gentle wave of your words make me tingle. You know when I look out into the vast ocean and see the power and grace, I see you.
The waves have your name on it, I know it because they smile at me. The waves have your name on it, I know it because they reach out to me. The waves have your name on it, I know because it brings me serenity. The waves, my brother are you because they are love and everything that is love has your name on it.
You are the light of love always and forever.
Crushed,
How can one not agree with it, doesn't it speak the truth of all men from cradle to grave?
Knowing thyself is the first step in knowing thyself.
I would certainly say so. Absolutely!
Lynda,
Thank you. The sunset in all of its wisdom reflects the duality of life. If you look closer, you will see a world within the bottle; a world within a world, if you will. Light reflects and refracts those worlds to reflect or refract our world.
Truth is somewhere in the middle of light. We become illuminated in the revealtion of the sunrise.
A great quote from a "remarkable man" himself.
I had a friend who was a worshiper
of his.
He tried to get me in as did others of other organizations, to no avail! ; (
Cheers and my Best to You! CM
CM,
I didn't know about his background until I Goggled it. Fascinating.
The quote sums up the consciousness of man.
Cheers and blessings my friend.
