A Spiritual Guide to higher consciousness
"Most have misinterpreted the idea of God. The god-force is everywhere, in the trees, the earth's core, the furthest reaches of the universe and most importantly in our hearts. "Look under the stone and you will find me there" [Jesus] We were born from this energy and we are all its children. The god-force is impartial. It is not emotionally involved in our lives and so loves us all equally, Be it Gandhi or Hitler. Unfortunately, Good and evil are artificial constructs, our suffering is mere perception and With understanding of truth you will suffer no more. you cannot destroy what is eternal, and we are all eternal. it is now up to you, your faith, your belief, not your morals, will decide how much of the infinite power you will allow to flow through yourself."

"I did once, seriously think of embracing the Christian faith. The gentle figure of Christ, so full of forgiveness, that he taught his followers not to retaliate when abused or struck, but to turn the other cheek - I thought it was a beautiful example of the perfect man."

Confucius' teaching are dear to me, and he helped me to understand the importance of change, and also the ability to leave behind that which does not matter, which is everything. This is why Jesus said "Go, give away everything you own and you will have riches in heaven."

True happiness can only come from within, but we insist on seeking it without.

Confucius (551–479 BC) was a Chinese philosopher and politician of the Spring and Autumn period.
The philosophy of Confucius, also known as Confucianism, emphasized personal and governmental morality, correctness of social relationships, justice and sincerity. His followers competed successfully with many other schools during the Hundred Schools of Thought era only to be suppressed in favour of the Legalists during the Qin dynasty. Following the victory of Han over Chu after the collapse of Qin, Confucius's thoughts received official sanction and were further developed into a system known in the West as Neo-Confucianism, and later New Confucianism (Modern Neo-Confucianism).
Confucius is traditionally credited with having authored or edited many of the Chinese classic texts including all of the Five Classics, it was through SOAS and studying ancient Chinese that I was first introduced to these texts. One story is etched into my mind, the theme being, in victory and defeat, meet both the same – I didn’t understand it then, not like I do today. Modern scholars are cautious of attributing specific assertions to Confucius himself. Aphorisms concerning his teachings were compiled in the Analects, but only many years after his death.
Confucius's principles have commonality with Chinese tradition and belief. He championed strong family loyalty, ancestor veneration, and respect of elders by their children and of husbands by their wives, recommending family as a basis for ideal government. He espoused the well-known principle "Do not do unto others what you do not want done to yourself", the Golden Rule. He is also a traditional deity in Daoism.
Confucius is widely considered as one of the most important and influential individuals in shaping human history. His teaching and philosophy greatly impacted people around the world and remains influential today
