The Question of the Student about AnxietyThe student came to the teacher and said : teacher I am weary of this word! What shall I do! I want to go home and fly amongst the stars, and feel the endless light in my soul to take me where my knowledge is pure and whole. What shall I do now? I am tired by the thought of this world. The Teacher pondered the question, and then smiled, and said; Dear one, you have discovered only the borders of things. Only when you awakened your eyes to see the new day have you discovered that you are still tired too. And so you are perplexed, as all who see are also perplexed, who suddenly discover they have not awakened refreshed! And have you not seen you have always awakened so? And alas you see the 1st voice of your self that always grows a little afraid for the coming day! And consider too this, you have indeed discovered the things you need for this day as it was the day before too! But the soul does not remember it, nor does it know how to apply anything this day, for the world is also different from what it was! The soul never knows until it comes. And also consider how the darkness seemed so long too! And the soul is also eager to come! As all of these change; and the world wills to change so! She is a spirit and she comes at times to inspire and whisper into souls knowledge and life! Listen for her on your awakening! Trust her, as she who knows the hidden soul. She knows wisdom and how to show you the spiritual path of love. She is your spiritual soul companion on your path. She inspires you to find your light, and to discover how to make the light and illumine your soul in the night of your being. And in your day to see her there as a living soul with you. So one can say that one confronts border after border, law after law, rule after rule, and all of these the world presents to the soul until one grow weary as well....and tires from endless borders. A mystery yes! But then, one has already felt the attraction of the something the world wants too. And she haunts the dream and draws you out after your rest - if not before it - and says "come! Come, that we may know more and see and know what it means! And so we go out and cross the borders. 1st, one has now to do well and to prepare itself in reflective thought and then to enter again, refreshed into any kingdom, lower of higher. The soul that knows well the elements of fire, earth, air, and water and can make a meal, and turn a strong wind to sail, and a raging fire to a slow cooking stove, a river to a mill, and the parched and barren earth to a garden. |

The Road Less Travelled - Poem by Robert FrostThe Road Less Travelled - Poem by Robert Frost Two roads diverged in a yellow wood, And sorry I could not travel both And be one traveler, long I stood And looked down one as far as I could To where it bent in the undergrowth; Then took the other, as just as fair, And having perhaps the better claim, Because it was grassy and wanted wear; Though as for that the passing there Had worn them really about the same, And both that morning equally lay In leaves no step had trodden black. Oh, I kept the first for another day! Yet knowing how way leads on to way, I doubted if I should ever come back. I shall be telling this with a sigh Somewhere ages and ages hence: Two roads diverged in a wood, and I— I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference. |
the Search for the Self“Perhaps there is more understanding and beauty in life when the glaring
sunlight is softened by the patterns of shadows. Perhaps there is more
depth in a relationship that has weathered some storms. Experience that
never disappoints or saddens or stirs up feeling is a bland experience
with little challenge or variation of color. Perhaps it's when we
experience confidence and faith and hope that we see materialize before
our eyes this builds up within us a feeling of inner strength, courage,
and security. We are all personalities that grow and develop as a result
of our experiences, relationships, thoughts, and emotions. We are the
sum total of all the parts that go into the making of a life.”

The Search for WisdomThe search for wisdom should keep us at the edge of our seats! Yet in the spiraling and spinning of the riddles of Lucifer we must remain poised and balanced in our center point, suspended in perfect calm between all that appears before us until spirit vision changes from tempter to willing guide. Then the door opens quite on its own. Entering as light you breathe thoughts. |
The Seeds of the EgoA student asked the Teacher, I am troubled with the images of my past lovers, now that I am on a spiritual path what should I do? The Teacher answered, What you once loved impressed itself in your aura, and since you had many lovers, you have also many images. Student Can't I ever get rid of them? Can't I erase them? The Teacher answered: This
image (of love) will always be there, it has many sides, and they all relate to
your own projections. Think of a nut, or an egg, or a seed with its
'shell'. You crack open the seed, and cast the 'shell' right? So as
long as you or anyone deludes yourself about the fundamentally invisible
forms in which things are ALSO, then you believe in a naive and
habitual way - you do whatever worked for you before your spiritual
training began. And that means the teachings you absorbed in the
beginning - there are shells remaining now - but the seeds are gone, and
those seeds are no longer going to germinate (Germain is the same as
'Germinate'). You can't live on the shells, but they haunt you. Ask your
self 'why' are they there? Because you will remember when they once
germinated - but they can't now - they had there time. So, out of your
good karma, and drive, and will to find a source where the seeds could
be obtained that didn't just 'grow fast' or were 'choked by weeds' or
came on 'dry soil' , your soul said to your EGO - you get the right
seeds now, we did the three that one: were rocks (physical) two: choked
by old memories that interfere with your present, and you spend all
your time weeding them (aether body) or three: dry ground: the sin of
wrong desires that 'grow fast' but have no roots (we all know this
right) and the associated and resulting ghosts of fear etc (the astral
body). In
the Parable of Jesus, the Sower has to throw the seeds over all four
Soils, and only the 'soil' provided by the Ego has the power to sustain
the germination. From that tree comes the Seeds for the next planting
and becomes St Germain. -Friend- |
The Senses and the Sight of the Holy Grail
The eye is purified and made clear by the inner activity of the Ego-self working from Cosmic Realms of Being downwards into the physical form. Then, and only then can the eye know the truth about itself and see upwards to the light that is looking for it. This is the forming of the union of the soul to cosmic being and the path of truth |

The Sikh Warrior and His GuruA Sikh warrior asked his Guru, How shall peace come to the world Oh Wise Master? The Guru said, Consider this truth All bullets will return to their guns, and arrows to their slings, words to the mouths that spoke them. Beware lest you harm yourself and others in ignorance of the laws of the world. Peace is the gift you bring, honor it by serving it, lest you become that which you would destroy.

The SkierA great start means makes the goal lots more fun and tantalizingly dangerous - like a slalum skier, it is more balance, and more speed, more speed, more mind, more mind, more control, more control, more power of the elements, then the elements reverse and begin to circle back and push you from behind! The goal will be a swish of light through the finish line! You found the power and the power found you. |
