The Flames of Wisdom Descending

The lords of the flames of wisdom descend on those who make their body a Temple to house it.

Breathe in the life of the Wisdom of the Spirit and your eyes will see in two worlds.

Do not be confused, and spread confusion, seek truth and know the Way.

The foot will walk steadily and with courage.  For all who look and seek to know will see with understanding, and follow the path through the darkness to the light.

True understanding leads to true being. All evil seizes and changes to good and service. The darkness holds the light for all beings.


The Flow of Blood is Life

It is through understanding that barriers of consciousness dissolve and stagnation changes to flow, to blood, the blood of love...

From the Book of the Wise


The Flute Player

I use my flute and charm the rocks, and the trees, the sirens voices have I calmed, and I received my tortoiseshell flute from Ino of the sea, my gold flute from Apollo, my silver flute plays the light of the moon into veils of musical waves, My soul fills with and breathes out the words of Aphrodite, and Athena whispers songs in my dreams.

I am Orpheus and Homer, St.Mark too, as I too speak of Helen upon her bed. Stars descend and ascend into the place where music lives as real as the trees of the forests, and flows too, as the rivers of light from eternal places to be heard in that nature creation where heaven lives within finely woven earthly aethers streaming beauty.


The Footstool of Heaven

She is the footstool of heaven


The Golden Chain

"Venerable ancient," said Fable. "Eros has need of your sword. Gold has given him a chain, one end of which reaches down to the sea, whilst the other winds about his heart. Take hold of it with me, and lead us into the hall where the princess rests."

Novalis

From Novalis' Fairy Tale


The Heavens Above

Look up O Children of the Earth and see! 

All things go back again and again. Rise upwards in each turning round and come to the heaven above where is infinite time and space for amazing and endless creations.


The Human Heart

The human heart can go to the lengths of God.
Dark and cold we may be, but this
Is no winter now. The frozen misery
Of centuries breaks, cracks, begins to move;
The thunder is the thunder of the floes,
The thaw, the flood, the upstart Spring.
Thank God our time is now when wrong
Comes up to face us everywhere,
Never to leave us till we take
The longest stride of soul we humans ever took.
Affairs are now soul size.
The enterprise
Is exploration into God.
Where are you making for? It takes
So many thousand years to wake,
But will you wake for pity's sake





-Christopher Fry, A Sleep of Prisoners (Epilogue)


The I and Invisible Nature

Above us, and all around us is invisible spirit. But how to comprehend it? Here is a train of thought to contemplate.

To make a ferment in a dough one sets the dough out and covers it. And Into it, like magic, comes the ferment. If one leaves it for a number of days, it will be unsavory, but if you take a little of the unsavory dough, and put it in a fresh dough, then the fresh dough is set out after it ferments again, it can then be baked and is a very tasty bread.
This is an invisible process of nature, and so the spirit to is invisible.
One needs to know how special the soul is to nature to begin the same process of transformation.

From the The Eye of the Invisible



The Journal

Once you have an awakening you will realize that you have always been the protagonist and the antagonist in your reality.
The war has always been in your own head.
When you plunge into yourself you will acknowledge why you manufactured a tight rigid body or why you tend to be misanthropic or have money problems.
Your own limitations are all old fabricated programs stored in you and they became your story and belief system and your identity of who you are.
The sleeping person is other peoples content and they don’t know their own self. They have never explore the inner world for themselves. Their information belong to other people.
Your entire life is in you now~ your mind and body are one.
Since your birth your brain has been recording and storing data and everything in your mind and body.
The more you free your mind ~ the more you will untangle the invisible chains within your body. The more you will authentically know that you are capable of creating a life that you love.
Nobody can do this inner work for you~
God/Universe is you and all 8 billion of us. We are all one.
Buddha - Christ ~ Krishna, Tao, Allah ~ your mentors are in you~ you are one. Your story is your reality.
just like you can be a safe Harbor for your children ~but they have to experience their own path and walk their own journey and learn their own lessons.
If you wrote a book or you are going to write a book~ remember ~ you are the fuel behind your book.

The Logos

The Logos was equal to the metal gold - incorruptible and pure - yet material and visible. Logos is also equated with golden light phenomenon for the same reason. The Logos of the human being rises out of the lower nature as uncorrupted Gold and Light as this is his subtle light body and this body is nourished and fed by even higher and more subtle light bodies. So the soul was not considered as a Logos, but what came from it was - and as a like nature to the same Golden Spirit that arises out of everything with a soul and spirit. So the Sun is considered the abode of the logos and the logoi journey there from everywhere. As the light inspires the growth, so the light goes back and forth to all the spheres of existence.
