Consciousness

We are here in life for but one reason- to learn to climb through ascensions of consciousness into the true Selfhood which is within us-the Selfhood which is our real nativity, our home in God’s spirit

Creation and You!

"The reason why the Universe is Eternal is that it gives life to others as it transforms" Lao Tzu


Creation of - Soul of Light

The power of learning spiritual knowledge is to be able to know the soul in the light or darkness, as these are the substances the soul weaves around itself.

Just as the doctor of today must know how to navigate inside the living body in order to preserve the integrity of the body, so the soul too has an even greater and more delicate mystery to understand. 

Thoughts in relationship to time, and subtle substance changes of atmosphere, heat and cold and atmospheric pressures, speak another language to the student of the spirit.  It is this path of warmth and light in the cosmos that leads to the living spirit.

For the student of the spirit, his will is to seek and find the living spirit in and through nature. Only the light and the darkness of the world can reveal the truths of the soul in this living way. It is the greatest task set before the students. In accomplishments, the soul sheds layers upon layers of its thickened nature.  It must understand these as they fade in the cosmic world.

Knowledge becomes love.  The riddle is answered with 'how?'.

As the student must come to ponder the creation of man, he sees there the mystery of will and desire for creation. And like a candle made by a candle maker for the light it holds, so the souls of men are formed by the unknown and unseen power that creates it. But to know the creator of the candle, is the greatest of all mysteries to behold.

Descending Bodies of Light

The student asked: Teacher, I now see flashes of globe shaped light bodies in my spiritual eyes, where do the shining globes of light come from? How are they formed? What are they? They seem to have inner voices and sounds?

Teacher: You are learning to see true life. It is the path of men.  What you love you will become. Do you love what you see? Then follow it and learn to hear what your soul is saying to the light. Your soul knows what it sees and why, and then you will understand it.

That is the way of your soul transformation and its becoming. When the will of the soul is the spirit, then the spirit lights the up the path of your past, and illumines the path of your future.

Avoid the path to the past, it is the moon, the moon points to it. As with the Sun globe before you, you also see yourself of the future! Follow it and others will follow behind you. The world will become underneath you, and a world will grow there. It always starts with a globe of light. A small one, like yours.



Divination

"But I will tell you another thing, son of the all glorious Maia and Zeus who holds the aegis luck bringing genius of the Gods. There are certain Holy Ones, three sisters, born of a virgin with winged heads besprinkled with white meal, and they dwell under a ridge of Parnassus. These are the teachers of Divination apart from me....From their home they fly now here, now there, feeding on honey-comb and bringing all things to pass. And when they are inspired through eating yellow honey, they are willing to speak truth; but if they be deprived of the gods' sweet food, they speak falsely, as they swarm in and out of each other. " 

Homeric Hymn 4, from line 550, translation by Hugh Evelyn-White


Don't Be Fooled by Inner Fears and Doubts

When Inner Fears and Doubts plague the student of the Spirit, he must feel this as a sign to look up and around the soul for the light of soul beings that maintain us and keep watch over us on  our journey, and make sure our footsteps are on the path. Even if we have strayed off the path, look around and feel there the coming those most beautiful companions that we may have forgotten on the way. Once we experience them again, then our feet feel underneath them the light and the love for us and for our desire to be on the path of wisdom's light that will guide us when we look for it.

Eastern Proverb

You can lie to a liar,

Steal from a theif for it is easy,

Be quick to set a trap for a man that traps others, and he is yours,

But beware of him most that has no axe to grind.
