Discernment of Absolute Truth 176 FOREWORD. To formulate a complete and final definition for truth is not possible, the reason being that the truth in itself, or in any of its expressions, cannQt be circumscribed by the human mind. The truth is too large to be described by any definition, however basic or comprehensive it may be. The best we can do, therefore, is to define our highest conceptions of truth. And moreover, we shall find this to be suffi- cient. To define and understand our highest conception of truth is to know, in the present, as much of the truth as we shall find necessary to gain that freedom that invariably comes with the truth. And as we continue to seek higher and higher conceptions of truth, as we advance in life, we shall accordingly find that greater measure of freedom which must necessarily accompany the more advanced stages of human existence. The purpose, therefore, of this book is not to present a clear-cut definition of truth, nor to give an answer to the question, What is truth? that would stand the test of all thought and experience. No, indeed, for such a course would defeat the aim we all have in view — the finding of more and more truth, and would make the search of truth far more difficult. The reason for this will be evident as we peruse the following pages. ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MPHzgZpwASc

http://www.audioenlightenment.com/ CHAPTER I " BREATH IS LIFE." IS it wontedness and use, or perhaps, that un- speakably deadening factor thoughtlessness, that has robbed the pregnant aphorism " BREATH IS LIFE " of every atom of its pro- found significance? None has ever gainsaid it, yet to the mass of mankind it means no more than if one were to write omicron muf And to that suicidal mania, fear of fresh air and draughts, and its accom- panying folly, flagrant neglect of the primal function of breathing, the world pays an annual tribute of at the lowest estimate a quarter million lives; all sacrificed to -preventable disease! Even without a regret for those sent thus prematurely through the " Gates Ajar," think of the crushing weight of sorrow this entails upon the world! Though not our loss, the sorrow affects all within its environment. The Law of the Rhythmic Breath But not alone the mass of humanity have been thus apathetic. Until the beneficial cult of deep breathing, a growth in rational doing and thinking of the present generation only, the man of science whose life work is to relieve human suffering equally ignored this flaring torch "BREATH IS LIFE," pointing unerringly to fundamental truths of being, but which through- out the centuries of Western civilization might as well have been a dark lantern. It is my grate- ful task nay, happy opportunity to prove to you that it is a torch of such wonderful il- luminating power that man's electric searchlights should pale before it. It was a gain, a stalwart stride in the right direction, to call attention to the error of commonly fixed habits; but all that has yet been accomplished is little more than one drop of purity in a swamp of miasma. Busy people think they have too much to do to give attention to a function they have always supposed auto- matic, never dreaming of the subtle sources of dis- order affecting its normal activity, and as subtly feeding and sowing disease. Also, to make a bad matter worse, in all the so-called " systems " of breathing taught, good, bad, and indifferent, the fundamental principle of rhythmic harmony has attracted little attention, and is rarely under- stood. ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ef52_OvobD4

http://www.audioenlightenment.com/ The Kingdom of GOD is within You, Leo Tolstoy The title of the book is taken from Luke 17:21. In the book Tolstoy speaks of the principle of nonviolent resistance when confronted by violence, as taught by Jesus Christ. When Christ says to turn the other cheek, Tolstoy asserts that Christ means to abolish violence, even the defensive kind, and to give up revenge. Tolstoy rejects the interpretation of Roman and medieval scholars who attempted to limit its scope. “How can you kill people, when it is written in God’s commandment: ‘Thou shalt not murder’?” Tolstoy took the viewpoint that all governments who waged war are an affront to Christian principles. As the Russian Orthodox Church was—at the time—an organization merged with the Russian state and fully supporting state's policy, Tolstoy sought to separate its teachings from what he believed to be the true gospel of Christ, specifically the Sermon on the Mount. Tolstoy advocated nonviolence as a solution to nationalist woes and as a means for seeing the hypocrisy of the church. In reading Jesus' words in the Gospels, Tolstoy notes that the modern church is a heretical creation: “Nowhere nor in anything, except in the assertion of the Church, can we find that God or Christ founded anything like what churchmen understand by the Church.” Tolstoy presented excerpts from magazines and newspapers relating various personal experiences, and gave keen insight into the history of non-resistance from the very foundation of Christianity, as being professed by a minority of believers. In particular, he confronts those who seek to maintain status quo: “That this social order with its pauperism, famines, prisons, gallows, armies, and wars is necessary to society; that still greater disaster would ensue if this organization were destroyed; all this is said only by those who profit by this organization, while those who suffer from it – and they are ten times as numerous – think and say quite the contrary.” ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xYlip1uqisQ
