Sutra 90:The "Mountain" Sutras
Sutra 90i:Aum.A man climbed a mountain to see where he was: he was nowhere.
Sutra 90ii:Aum.A man lived his life beside a mountain: the mountain was a part of his life.
Sutra 90iii:Aum.A man believed a Mountain was God.He was right.
Sutra 90iv:Aum.A man believed that God lived on a Mountain.He was both right and wrong.
Sutra 90v:Aum.A man did not believe in God: he was right.Another man believed in God: he was not wrong.
Sutra 90vi:Aum.Mountains are mountains: you may interpret your Dharma to view them as obstacles, or as an Illusion reflecting your Reality.
Sutra 90vii:Aum.To a man standing on his head, the Mountain is a granite hole in the Sky.
Sutra 90viii:Aum.For a man with his head in the clouds, the Mountain is invisible.
Sutra 90ix:Aum.For a mountain it is sufficient to be a mountain: for a Man it is never sufficient to see the mountain for what it is.
Sutra 91: The "Grounding Chakra" echoes the Universal Harmonic to achieve Balance.
Sutra 92: What is this talk of Past and Future?They are simply aspects of the Now with different temporal loci.
Sutra 93: Do not speak to me of Reality: it is a personal concept that varies with the Observer.
Sutra 94: Do not simply observe the changes: live the changes.
Sutra 95:Law should not be used as a moral bludgeon, but as a Tool to facilitate understanding.
Sutra 96: The Politics of Fear is not a method of social Control, but a Mirror of Intent.
Sutra 97: A moralistic and punitive society seeks Control, not Truth, thus obscuring the Path.
Sutra 98: The more garish a signpost is the less likely it points to the Path.
Sutra 99: Lesson outcomes may be far different than the Intent of the Teacher.
Sutra 100: The "Lotus" Sutras
(Note: These pay homage to the ancient Buddhist White Lotus Sutra of the Devine Dharma)
Sutra 100i:Past and Future enfold the Now as the Lotus petals enfold its stamens.
Sutra 100ii: The Lotus is a parable that illustrates the Harmony of the Aesthetic with the Functional.
Sutra 100iii: The Lotus symbolises the Universal Third Eye: contemplation opens the Gateway.
Sutra 100iv:Meditate upon the Lotus: its form symbolises the Flame of Brahman, as well as the flames in Natraj's Circle of Destruction.
Sutra 100v: While the life of the Lotus is transitory, the concept is Eternal.
Sutra 100vi: By virtue of the existence of the Lotus, that existence is validated: that is our lesson.
Sutra 100vii: The Lotus represents a Cosmic Nexus through which we may glimpse the Truth.
Sutra 100viii: The perfection of the Lotus illuminates meditation as the Spark of Brahman illuminates the Atman.
Sutra 100ix:Those who see only God in the Lotus are short-sighted.
Sutra 100x:The Lotus conceptualises the Now.
Sutra 101: Seek not an external Answer: it lies Within.
Sutra 102: Dwell not on Yesterday's mistakes, focus instead on what you can accomplish Now.
Sutra 103: Sometimes the only beauty to be found in transitions is the fact of their transitory nature.
Go well, and in peace, on a Path that is ever clear.
