OLE Aphorisms and Sayings

 

Secrecy

"The Order of the Lily and Eagle has no secrets - it has mysteries."

"What does secrecy mean? Does Nature have any secrets?" exclaims Déa.
"If someone does not thoroughly know nature and her laws, it is not because she is hiding something from them, but because the individual does not want to rise up to the level necessary to comprehend nature.

 

Moral and Ethical Principles

3: Never lie at expense of others. It is better not to speak at all.

6: Never speak evil of others.

9: Be calm in a storm and smile in times of peace. Déa

The main characteristic of Good is the integrity of conscience, the joy of inner peace and the pleasure of existing and living. Déa

 

Love

Love is manifested as an emotion.
As everything comes from somewhere, where does love come from?

 

Judgement

Judgement is not the same as being judgemental.
We are judgemental when we gossip about other people, but we seldom apply such judgement to ourselves.
On the contrary, we tend to justify our thoughts, feelings and actions rather than seeing if our actions are benefical or kind to us or others.

 

Experience and Action

Try it and see what the result is. In other words, choose your own environment and experiences.

Dea our Venerable Mother said: "I don’t care about your words and your protestations of devotion, your theories are admirable, but all that is Words only, what I want from you are actions."

 

Disimilar and Uniqueness

As we cannot find two things that are identical, that everything is dissimilar, we can say that this is a law of Nature?
If it is True, how will we change how we interact with other people and with the environment?

 

Love and Wisdom

Wisdom not guided and illuminated by Love, can be both cruel and severe.
Love without Wisdom can be selfish and unjust.
So, we must find the balance between Love and Wisdom.

 

Lesson Learnt

We often say that we had a bad experience, but is not so. We can learn from any experience, something that is helpful for us, so it is ultimately a good experience.

 

Changing the world

"If we want a new world, we have to start making it right now. And whatever we are doing, we have to make it as though we are in that new world." Brian Eno

 

The ternary law of life

Since ages past, just like everything that exists on Earth, even secret societies, all follow the ternary law of birth, life and death.
