<h1>Nova Biblia</h1>
<br><h4>The NEW Bible: A worthy alternative to the first one and all its 'ramifications'<br>
i.e. a degenerate, godless society called North America <br><br>
Go placidly amid the noise and the haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence. <br>
As far as possible, without surrender, be on good terms with all persons.<br><br>
Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others, even to the dull and the ignorant; <br>
they too have their story.<br><br>
Avoid loud and aggressive persons; they are vexatious to the spirit. If you compare yourself <br>
with others, you may become vain or bitter, for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself. <br><br>
Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans. Keep interested in your own career, however humble; <br>
it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time. <br><br>
Exercise caution in your business affairs, for the world is full of trickery. But let this not <br>
blind you to what virtue there is; many persons strive for high ideals, and everywhere life is full of heroism. <br><br>
Be yourself. Especially do not feign affection. Neither be cynical about love; for in the face <br>
of all aridity and disenchantment, it is as perennial as the grass. <br>
Take kindly the counsel of the years, gracefully surrendering the things of youth. <br><br>
Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune. But do not distress yourself <br>
with dark imaginings. Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness.<br><br>
Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself. You are a child of the universe <br>
no less than the trees and the stars; you have a right to be here. <br><br>
And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should. <br>
Therefore be at peace with God, whatever you conceive Him to be. And whatever your labors and aspirations, <br>
in the noisy confusion of life, keep peace in your soul. With all its sham, drudgery and broken dreams, <br>
it is still a beautiful world. Be cheerful. Strive to be happy. <br><br>
by Max Ehrmann ©1927<br><br>

The Glass Bead Game <br><br>
We re-enact with reverent attention <br>
The universal chord, the masters' harmony, <br>
Evoking in unsullied communion <br>
Minds and times of highest sanctity.
<br><br>
We draw upon the iconography <br>
Whose mystery is able to contain
The boundlessness, the storm of all existence, <br>
Give chaos form, and hold our lives in rein. <br><br>
The patterns sing like crystal constellations, <br>
And when we tell our beads, we serve the whole, <br>
And cannot be dislodged or misdirected, <br>
Held in the orbit of the Cosmic Soul.<br>
- Hermann Hesse

Einstein on Buddhism <br>
“The religion of the future will be a cosmic religion. It should transcend personal God <br>
and avoid dogma and theology. Covering both the natural and the spiritual, it should be <br>
based on a religious sense arising from the experience of all things natural and spiritual as<br>
a meaningful unity. Buddhism answers this description. If there is any religion that could cope<br>
with modern scientific needs it would be Buddhism. <br>
- Albert Einstein<br><br>
Popular Misconceptions about Religion <br><br>
Excerpts from the amazing ZenRaven <br><br>
From 'Dharmakaya', from the book "Eyes To The Stars"<br><br>
"In truth, you are the result of, the manifestation of a remarkable<br>
consortia of exotic spiritual energies. Within these divine energies <br>
are the blueprint for the human form you see about you. We are in <br>
essence, spiritual. Without these miraculous energies,you would not even be......... "<br><br>

It predates and preceeds all of recorded history. It has no human founder. <br>

Truth within, finally reaching the pinnacle of consciousness where man and God are one.<br><br>

<br><br>Study Krishnamurti, the man, through his books, mainly ' Think On These Things ' <br><br>
Truth is a pathless land. Man cannot come to it through any organisation, through any creed,<br>
through any dogma, priest or ritual, nor through any philosophic knowledge or psychological <br>
technique. He has to find it through the mirror of relationship, through the understanding of the<br>
contents of his own mind, through observation and not through intellectual analysis or introspective dissection.

From 'Introspections, from the Book, "Eyes To The Stars", by ZenRaven, aka Dew
<br><br>
Zen is the flower taken from the garden<br>
replanted in the desert, smiling nonetheless<br>
Zen is the yellow in blue, the red in purple, the green in black<br>
The aria in the grand finale,<br>
The specific in the whole, the power in the precisons<br>
The glance in the stare<br>
The adagio in the vivace, the whisper inside the shout<br><br>
