Ahora que reflexiono sobre esta imagen, me prometo que profundizaré en cada aparente contradicción que se presente ante la consciencia como síntomas de la característica naturaleza paradójica d la realidad, más que por hallar la verdad del fenómeno en sí, por hallar la verdad del procedimiento que debe surtir mi cerebro para alcanzar la versión de máximo poder.

Leaves of Morya's Garden by Master Morya and Helena Roerich

Leaves of Morya's Garden Leaves of Morya's Garden by Master Morya and Helena Roerich. I was pointed in the direction of the Roerich's and Agni Yoga and especially the double volume Leaves of Morya´s Garden the other day. What caught my initial interest was the similarities between the approach of Gurdjieff's Fourth Way and Helena Roerich simultaneous developed Agni Yoga - also known as 'Living Ethic'. I found some signs that they might have met in some early groups in Petersburg, but that is another and longer  story. Here are the Leaves of Morya's Garden, a deep, visionary poem for the spiritual  mountaineers:

About Leaves of Morya's Garden

"Leaves of Morya's Garden" is a book that forms part of the Agni Yoga series, which is a collection of philosophical texts. The Agni Yoga series was given through Helena Roerich from 1920 onwards and is associated with the teachings of the Masters of the Ancient Wisdom, or the Ascended Masters, a group of beings said to guide the spiritual evolution of the planet. "Leaves of Morya's Garden" is the first book in this series and was published in two parts, "The Call" (1924) and "Illumination" (1925). The texts are presented as a mixture of poetic and aphoristic statements, philosophical musings, and spiritual guidance. They emphasize the importance of inner development, the cultivation of higher consciousness, and the practice of living ethically and spiritually in the everyday world. The teachings in "Leaves of Morya's Garden" cover a wide range of topics, including the nature of the soul, the path to spiritual enlightenment, the significance of love and beauty, the importance of will and self-discipline, and the role of service in spiritual evolution. The work is intended to inspire individuals to strive towards higher levels of spiritual realization and to contribute to the betterment of humanity through acts of compassion, understanding, and wisdom. The book is named after Master Morya, who is said to be one of the Masters of the Ancient Wisdom. He is often depicted as providing guidance and instruction to seekers on the spiritual path, encouraging them to develop their inner potential and to work for the good of all beings. Random information you probably won´t find anywhere else: Agni is a Sanskrit word and the name for the Hindu deity 'The King of Fire'. Appropriately Agni is also the name of India's first long-range missile capable of carrying nuclear warheads. Read the full article

Can't remember if I've already included this guy in the past, but his work is so grand and has a really strong sense of color. The water in particular for this work has such amazing depth.
