Terry French - Sounds Of Zen Lao Tzu was a prophet of God. Here’s why: AND now, there are other sheep that the Lord visited to whom he taught the will of the Father in all things. For the Father had commanded His Son to give His gospel unto all of His children. 73 And did not the Lord say unto his disciples that he had other sheep which were not of this fold, and that he must bring them also unto the Father by teaching them his gospel? From the Bible: ------- John 10: 16 And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd. 72 Yea, did not the Lord call these holy prophets and give unto them his commandments and teach unto them his gospel, which is the plan of the Father? And are we not all children of one God, even the Creator of our spirits, and the Creator who set in motion this system and order of nature that revolveth around the sun that He created to give life unto this planet on which we live? 18 And I have explained unto you that the Lord is no respecter of persons; and that one nation is just as important to him as another. And he sendeth forth his prophets among all his children, even unto as many as will hear his words. Few examples of Prophets from the different cultures: Akhenaton, prophet pharaoh of the Egyptian nation --------- 114 And the Holy Ghost came upon Akhenaton, and he believed the things which he had been taught by Ubaid. And in this manner, the Lord prepared a way whereby the Egyptian nation could receive his words, even by way of one of their kings. 122 And it came to pass that Akhenaton sat upon the throne of Egypt after his father died. And he caused the things that he had learned from Ubaid to be taught to the people. And he also withdrew the government support previously given to the priests of the other gods, and caused all to worship one god, even the God that he had been taught to worship by Ubaid. Confucius and Lao-tse ----------- 64 And I also have mentioned to you of Kung-fu-tse and Lao-tse, who were sent unto the people who are the descendants of Beneli and Cain; and these were sent at the beginning of the period known as the times. Zarathustra, the great prophet of the Persian empire --------- 56 And the Lord called Zarathustra to be a prophet and preach the things that he had learned from the angel, and also those things that he had learned from the ministrations of the Spirit in his youth. And he was taught the plan of God, who was called Ahura Mazda according to the language and the customs of the people. Mohammed ------ 44 And Jesus spoke unto Mohammed, calling him by name and teaching many things unto him which he had taught to his disciples during the days of his earthly ministry. 63 And now, the Lord did not want Mohammed to use the name of Jesus Christ among the people to whom he would be sent to teach his gospel. And the reason for which he commanded this of Mohammed, was because those who professed to be followers of Jesus Christ, even the Christians who were already many upon the earth, had corrupted the true gospel of the Father by the name of Jesus Christ. 70 And it came to pass that Mohammed went forth among the people and taught them the gospel of Jesus Christ, or the gospel of Allah, as he had been instructed by the Lord to give unto the people. Gautama or Budha and Rishabha --------------- 66 And they were called Gautama, who was later called Buddha, and Rishabha. 67 And these were both holy prophets who taught the people the plan of the Father, having received their instruction and their callings from the Lord in their own times. --------------- 69 And in the latter days there shall be many religions and divers churches which preach many forms of these religions. But the main religions of the latter days shall be those which are based upon the corrupted teachings of these holy prophets that I have mentioned in this record. 70 Behold, these religions shall be known as the Muslim, and the Hindu, and the Buddhist and the Jew, and the Christian. And from these shall come forth many sects, each teaching many different forms of these religions. 71 And now, these things have been made known unto you that ye might know the mind and the will of the Father concerning all of His children. 78 And it came to pass that when these great prophets of whom I have made mention died, their followers began to corrupt their teachings, and in many ways changing the pure gospel that was given unto them by these prophets. 79 And after they had corrupted their teachings, they began to teach for doctrine the precepts and commandments of men mingled with the enlightened words of wisdom given by these prophets. 80 And in this way Satan was able to subvert the plan of God and put in place his own plan, which plan hath caused exceedingly misery and pain among the children of men. --------------- 37 Behold, when the Lord cometh in his glory, he shall uncover all things and show unto the children of men that which he hath done for their salvation. 38 And when the Lord shall present unto the world the records of my people, then shall ye know that the record of my father is true; and ye shall also know that this record which I shall seal up is true. 39 And because of the things which are written herein, many of you, who have mocked these things, shall weep and wail and gnash your teeth because of that which ye would not accept when it was given unto you in plainness.

[@AjaySolanki-vw5xb]

The wise man is one who knows what he doesn't know. Give evil nothing to oppose and it will disappear by itself. Conquest over self- greatest. The further one goes, the less one know. Flame which burns faster fades faster. Those who know don't speak. Those don't know speak. What is firmly rooted can't be pulled out. Just remain in the center. Watching. Forget you are there. The treasure of life is gained by those who let go. Let it be still and it will become clear. The heart that gives, gathers. When there's no desire, all things are at peace. Love is a decision, not an emotion The world belongs to those who let go. Every step is on the path.
