Quote by Kabir Edmund Helminski

“As spiritual seekers, we know that the objective knowledge we require cannot be constructed by human intellect alone. Intellect can perform many useful functions; it can divide, critique, and negate, but intellect is not the source of inspired knowledge about the purpose of life. Intellectual conjecture too often leads only to a labyrinth of opinion. Rather it is the heart that is the seat of true knowing. (p. 53)”

“Truth is only known through a deep inner harmony. Ordinarily we are a chaos inside. There are many voices inside, and they are dragging in different directions. This is the situation where man finds himself. Meditation is the science of crystallising your different voices and fragments into one organix unity. The moment that unity arises in you all noises change into one unity. And then only you can see, hear and feel the truth of existence. It is always there, but our minds are so noisy that we cannot feel it. The moment that the inner chaos is gone we can hear the still, small voice within. And then indubitably one knows: "This is my voice of love, silence and truth. This is God speaking to me." And there is never any doubt. Even if the whole world doubts it, you will not doubt it. Only on that rock of indubitably, can life becomes a temple of the divine.”
