"I am the Adi Shakti (Holy Spirit/Ruh). I am the One who has come on this Earth for the first time in this form to do this tremendous task." The Paraclete Shri Mataji

“You know that I reside in the Sahasrara (Kingdom of God). I incarnated on the Lotus of 1000 Petals; that is why I could break it open also.” The Paraclete, Italy May 6 1989

"But those who have got Realization will enter into the Kingdom of God. You have to enter into the Kingdom of God here, as I say, in the Seventh Chakra." The Paraclete, USA Oct 6 1981

"Actually, thank God they have found out now the book written by Thomas ... saying about a personal experience of achieving God realization, Self-realization. It talks about Sahaja Yoga out and out." The Paraclete Shri Mataji, India Dec 25 1987

"There may be very little time left to take the adventure into total being that the Gospel of Thomas advocates with such astringent brilliance and precision. In such a terrible age as ours, it is easy to believe that the dark powers, the powers of that corpse of the world that the Jesus of Thomas so fiercely denounces, have won already, and there is nothing even the most passionate of us can do to turn around a humanity addicted to violence and destruction.

Despair, however, is the last illusion. The Gospel of Thomas and the Jesus who gave it to us continue to challenge us to dare to become one with the Divine and start living the revolutionary life that streams from union and that can transform all things. This worst of times needs the clearest and most unflinchingly exigent of visions to counteract and transform it; in Jesus’ words in the Gospel of Thomas and in his living out of their reality through and beyond death itself into the eternal empowering glory of the Resurrection, we have the permanent sign of the Way, the Truth, and the all-transforming life that, even now, can build here on earth the reality of God’s Kingdom."
