Ignorance

To ignore the presence of spirit is ignorance,

To assume the material is ignorance,

To not see the hidden is blindness,

To hear the silent is tranquility,

To move with the Cosmos is not to move at all,

The light is gone away into the shadow to rest O students of the spirit,

Walk gently lest you wake her in her dreaming.

Sit and be silent O students of the spirit, so you can feel her spirit being in you.

From the Book of the Wise


Illusion

"Following the trail of illusions is good to reveal the truth about ones' desires. He knows most when he knows when he has had enough for his soul. Then he looks for truth. To know truth is the same as knowing illusion. The fool thinks he knows, and the wise man sees truth everywhere and no-where. But he looks further into the spirit, for the revelation about his being. If he can see nothing, then he knows that he knows nothing true about himself. What is more important, the world of truth without being, or a being which has no truth? "

From the Book of the Sayings of the Students of the Spirit.


Incantation

THE MAGIC INCANTATION OF SAN-FUN-HO

Lords of evolving night and day! Ye spirits of the spaceless dreams! O Souls of the reflected hills Embosomed in pellucid streams! Magicians of the morning haze Who weave anew the virgin veil That dews the blush of waking days With innocence!

Ye Rishis , hail! I charge that whosoe'er may view This talisman, shall greet the dawn Degreed, arrayed and ranked anew, As he may wish to have been born! Prevail desire! A day and night Prevail ambition! Till they see They can not set the world aright By being what they crave to be! Be, time and space, and all save Karma is stilled! Grant that each secret wish may be fulfilled!


Instruction #1

Instruction For Students of the Spirit

Keep your aura as calm and as clear as possible. Emotions will cloud it with dark spots. Those are the entry places for the demonic activity. Now this can take years to learn, or a few minutes. The demonic has a great fear of Spiritual Knowledge, so keep working on clearing.

Instruction #2

Instruction For Students of the Spirit

Imagine your Path on Spiritual Nature

Learn to control your inner thoughts and emotions. Seek moments of quiet and peace and put the world far away in those moments. Entertain the thoughts in your soul of peace and tranquility. Imagine the road behind you and the path in front of you. See in front of you the souls of other students on the path that you are on and are calling you, gesturing you to follow, and don't give up.  Imagine one day you will also be helping and serving someone on the path behind you.


Instruction #3

Instruction for Students of the Spirit

Good things are not always good!

Imagine your disappointment whenever you find something you think is good turns out to be sour!  This is a colossal experience! All through our learning years imagine how everything you thought was good turned into its opposite. Now, the condition of the soul is trained to be suspicious of all 'good things', and these include love, and relationships.

As you get stronger and more focused because of your Rosicrucian Meditation Exercises,  you must notice there is a wisdom that comes from life, and especially around things of the desire body. 

In our Course 003 on the Astral Body you are instructed to fill the soul with higher aspirations such as higher art,  poetry, and music, and also the Higher Thoughts of Humanities Teachers, Poets, and Artists.  These all are the result of even Higher Spiritual Beings!  In the book The Secrets of Eden there we find lots more detailed instructions for higher spiritual development.

As the soul turns around within itself, it does not want to condemn everything, and so there a feeling comes to every student of a wandering in a lost sea without any horizon!  But one can reflect on our teachings, and feel comforted for it is temporary, and will pass. It even has a name (it is so famous among the students of all Ages) it is called 'the neither word'.

Keep your calm, and use your time to balance and focus. Your goal is still ahead, and it is a beautiful goal you are seeking!  One day it will appear and you will be amazed at the beautiful world of Spiritual Nature.


Instruction #4

Instruction for Students of the Spirit


Practice Focus of mind, thoughts, and feelings. Combine everything into a bundle of color, light, and sound. Create your song, thoughts, and control your dreaming. This brings balance between the heart and the mind, the heaven above and the earth below, the past and the future, all one.


Instruction #5 Making Yourself Strong

To Make Yourself Strong Know
The Way to Make Yourself Strong you also must test yourself

Reflect Inwardly On:  I am doing what you want to do. 

Are you feeling Alone?
Reflect Inwardly: It is your will to test yourself and try 'the waters' , 'swim the current' 'jump' , 'go on stage' , you cannot be comfortable with yourself until you are confident in what you can do. It doesn't mean you are alone....other than it is what you have asked for deep down inside. Spirit is streaming all around you. Balance and Harmony

Invisible Spirit-life of Nature and Spirit Creations

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, and the fresh dough is set out it makes a delicious dough for baking.

This is an invisible process of nature, and so the spirit too is invisible.

One needs to know how special the soul is to life-spirits in invisible-nature to begin the same process of transformation.

From the The Eye of the Invisible


Isis and the House of Glory


Thoth, who won the Light of the Moon made 5 Children with Nut the Sky with the moon-light. He became the new God of the Moon, and his 5 Days of the Moon-lit nights are remembered in the Mountains of the Moon where Isis and Osiris were born. The Eye of RA could not see them there, as there were beyond the Days the God of the Sun had made. 

When Isis wandered the world weary and hungry, she came to the House of Glory, but Glory would not let her in because of her protecting animals which accompanied her. These creatures were made from Oblivion, and so out of Oblivion, Isis had spun the creatures of the Cobra and the Scorpions to assist in hiding her, and protecting her. The scorpions went back to the House of Glory and entered her house and stung the child of the mother of the house of Glory, and he died. 

The mother mourned her child and Isis came to her and told her the reason for the death was she was shut out of the House of Glory, but if she let her come in, then she would say the words and the breath of life would come back into her dead child. The mother let her in, and Isis commanded the spirits of the poisons to come out of the Body of the Child and they obeyed her, and the Child arose from his Death.

The mother praised Isis, and Isis from that time comes to mothers, and others too, that have need of her healing powers and words of wisdom.
