From the Book of the Sayings of the Wise


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.
