The Rosenkreutz School of Spiritual Light

God sends his  teachers unto every age,
To every clime and every race of men,
With revelations fitted to their growth,
And shape of mind, nor gives the realm of TRUTH,
Into the selfish rule of one sole race:
Therefore, each form of worship that hath swayed
The life of man, and given it to grasp
The master key of knowledge, REVERENCE,
Enfolds some germs of goodness and of right.

J.R. Lowell

Virtue is not found in the world, it is wrapped up inside the soul and needs to be unfolded. To' save the soul' means to save the seed of virtue for the time, and place where the spirit reveals it to you. To understand it leads you into the heart of all the teachers of wisdom since ever this germ was found and fanned into life. Teachers are then called 'gardeners' of the soul, and teachers of the Way of the Spirit.

From the Book of the Sayings of the Wise

With the light of wisdom provided by the cultivation of spiritual wisdom in our group of friends and students, we seek to permeate into the cultures of the world with spiritual love.

Temple Osiris Motto

The ancients sages knew the body and created the foundations of all knowledge we build today. No knowledge has been more consistent than the sciences that came from our spiritual teachers. OM Meditation builds prana, spiritual chanting builds prana and inspires creatures of nature too, and prana goes through flowers and fills the air with fragrances and innocent and simple people breathe in the spirit-infused air. 

Sun beams with invisible hands of angels fill chalices of prana-breath and drink it in invisible feasts of nature spirits who taste and inspire sleeping prophets, musicians, and poets. Who knows how to listen to them will learn the greatest secrets of healing - truth and goodness that fills the soul is a lighted and colorfully rich soul candle seen best when the darkness reveals it everywhere as human stars shining into the same eternity we ponder from the other side.

"Do you imagine the universe is agitated? Go to the desert at night and look at the stars. This should answer the question." — Lao Tzu, Tao Te Ching

Because we are a Friends group, the intention of our friends group is to meet each other and give the gift of friendship. The world is always better through our extensions of love, appreciation, and friendship. Love is the deepest forms of knowledge we have. A great teacher becomes the friend of all...and rays back to those that follow him the color, the fragrance, the life of the place ahead. The goals of all development is to forget all that one treasures as learning so one can hear the souls of those that are students, and need to be heard. The space in the soul of the teachers is cleared through training in how to empty the soul and heart so that it can be filled again and again.

The self is a relation which relates to itself… A human being is a synthesis of the infinite and the finite, of the temporal and the eternal, of freedom and necessity… A synthesis is a relation between two terms. Looked at in this way a human being is not yet a self.

Despair is the imbalance in a relation of synthesis, in a relation which relates to itself.

Kierkegaard from The Sickness Unto Death

This work shows how much people are in love with suffering and being alone!!! 

Is that you?

Teachers and Leaders who disguise their evil will turn their evil designs on their followers who reflect the shame of seeing the truth, for followers of evil men have a common flaw - it is weakness of soul - which appeals to the designs of the stronger power that seek to corrupt the designs of good men.

Everything looks very funny to seers who know, and no matter what pride or proudness of thought prevails, the animal nature is still the only visibly completed form of man, and of the higher form he only dreams about it and it causes him pain, torment and suffering.

But this changes when one seeks a method of spiritual development that works in the modern conditions of the soul. It must also be a development in perfect harmony with higher powers of nature which are guided to mankind to appear in his karmic path, out of love, and for no other reason, by the higher spiritual beings in harmony with the next stages of human development.

The soul is the flame of the body; therefore do not worry about the perfection of your external appearance, but rather the scent, fragrance, and light you give,

From the Book of the Wise

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

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.

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

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.

She is the footstool of heaven

"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

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 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

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.

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.

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

The Student asked the Teacher to explain the mind.  "Some say the mind is one, and there is only one mind. What do you say venerable Teacher?"

Here is your answer. This kind of thinking is reflected thinking, but something is missing from it. Let us use a feeling sense to discover the truth. And on the path of feeling we can feel it is both true and untrue. So now let us follow the paths of the light to represent for us the One Mind, as the same as the One Light of Sun.  Consider how Light and Warmth can be  separated in the Cosmic Bodies of the Sun and the Moon and this affects the natures of all living bodies. This is the way to understand light and warmth and unravel this great riddle of the One Mind. 

 If we follow the light through the world, we see how a plant grows from two kinds of light, the light of the moon, which is the Sun-light. So we can say like this, the light is one light, but we also know from the growth of the life in the plant these lead to a different result. And if we take this into the inner being one can clearly see that the light may indeed be one light, but it has been separated into warmth and light, and just light as in the reflected light of the moon.  So we can say there is indeed One Light, the light of the Sun, and that is even to the Light of the Moon, but the Light at the Source is warm, and the light of the Moon is cold and separated from it is the element of the warmth, so the mind too has elements that it must consider that have conditioned it.  

And so the One Mind must consider its reflections as these have been separated into soul and life. Eventually all reflections go back to the source from which they have come, and so the many minds travel back to the one mind and are refreshed, revitalized, as they rest in the bosom of Divine Light and Love.  

The missing piece in our understanding of our reflective mental nature is that the mind is sterile. It is actually like trying to fly with one wing and other is a reflection in a mirror.

 It all changes when one understands this secret and how and where to look for the missing part.

The Tao that can be spoken is not the eternal Tao The name that can be named is not the eternal name The nameless is the origin of Heaven and Earth The named is the mother of myriad things

Thus, constantly without desire, one observes its essence Constantly with desire, one observes its manifestations These two emerge together but differ in name The unity is said to be the mystery Mystery of mysteries, the door to all wonders

Tao Te Ching 32

"THE LAMA'S LAW

O ye who look to enter in through Discipline to Bliss, Ye shall not stray from out the way, if ye remember this: Ye shall not waste a weary hour, nor hope for Hope in vain, If ye persist with will until self-righteousness is slain.

If through the mist of mortal eyes,deluded, ye discern That ye are holier than these, ye have the whole to learn!If ye are tied with tangled pride Know then, your purest thoughts deny the Truth ye never saw! If ye resent in discontent the searchlight of reproof,

Preferring praise, ye waste your days at sin's not Soul's behoof! Each gain for self denies the Self that knows the self is vain. Who crowns accomplishment with pride must build the whole again!

But if, at each ascending step, more clearly ye perceive That he must kill the lower will,who would the world relieve And they are last who would be first, their effort thrown away;

Be patient then and persevere. Ye tread the Middle Way! "

Philosophy is the Love of Learning - do you feel the urge and power of love moving in your thoughts? Blowing like a wind?

Giving freshness and musical spirit song? Say yes to Philosophy and the love of learning!

The 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 Riddle of the Ego

As I become less of what I am, I become more of what I was....

“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.”
― Virginia M. Axline, Dibs in Search of Self

The 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.

A 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.

The Holy Grail symbolizes the senses of a human being which when purified through the powers of intelligence.

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 seven  gifts of the Holy Spirit :

Wisdom, understanding, counsel, fortitude, knowledge, piety and fear of the Lord

A 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.

From the Book of the Wise

A 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.

In our search for the spirit, as we look and mature ourselves through union with spiritual powers of nature, it is essential to bring up the question Who Is My Father, and Who is 'The Father' of all?  As a preparation for this: It takes purity of soul , the soul must cleanse itself of all earth illusions. The method is not to reject the layers of color and the soundings of the human world, but to understand, and penetrate through each layer of consciousness as it presents itself, until one comes to a pure space where the consciousness is felt no longer within one's self, but that the self has disappeared too, and this is no insignificant thing,  for one perceives that it is now all sides from everywhere .... this soul of us is now mingled with the spirit of nature.  If one is true to one's path of development, then the spirit is rebuilding itself just as always before when in the beginning it descended into earthly veils of substance, color and light.

It is the will of the light to show and teach the way through the darkness. With the light we are always in the light. When the light is not present outside, then we must have learned from the Teacher three important things, to be calm and to listen to hear the voice of the Teacher, or Two ; to know the Way, and Three, to Shine from within for our self or others that call to us in need, if there is need for our light. For this, our Spirit Bodies have descended out from the Light. We have no more Father and Mother, nor brothers and sisters, that have birthed us or grew up as kin. We are freed from matter. We ascend and are reborn as Children of Light.

Use Reason to tame your Dreams of the Spirit -Life-Nature.

By concentrating on the spiritual part of the heart one can follow it to ancient Lemuria, for the head one comes to Atlantis and the solar plexus leads to the Hyperborean age.

From the Book of the Wise

The path of consciousness must become, over time, inadequate to describe what later replaces it as spirit-life. If one accepts the development of a spiritual soul nature (for some hitherto ultimate and unknown reason assuming this is the will of the being nature), then the template, of that which was before, and that which it became, and as it wished once to become, is consumed and is replaced by an interceding spiritual aspect of a superior nature to the previous and reforms it into self and participates in a higher spirit nature. 

Thus consciousness is an illusion of itself which as soon as it forms must dissolve it again, just as the breath breathes in and out, so does the spirit nature fill the emptiness of the soul and is consumed. 

When the nature reaches a higher level it creates another body out of it. This higher form is an aetheric man. Man is currently learning how to create a higher nature from his thoughts, feelings, and drives. These must be transformed into a spiritual form - thoughts, feelings, and drives which anticipate his higher spiritual form. 

Into a child is poured all the substances of the old spirit nature which is all 'will' into the aether body of the child in his 1st years of life, gradually then into his later life into thoughts from this thinking. His thoughts ponder over the aetheric substances of the previous years. 

These thoughts, unknown to the man, have a cosmic origin just as his will at birth is also from an unknown spiritual realm. These he must awaken to search for in his own nature. All of external nature can speak of these paths or portals, but hey are only found by developing the soul to see itself. 

Long-time ago in the Animal Kingdom, a sheep was passing and saw a lion crying inside a cage trapped and the lion begged the sheep to save him with a promise not to kill and eat it but the sheep refused. After much persuasion and for the sheep's gullibility it opened the cage for the lion.

A Woman asked the Teacher this question: 
How can I know of my past-lives? Who was I? Why do I think the way I do?

The Thriae (the Fates) Watching over the World feed on Spiritual Consciousness. If you feed them truth, them they will speak truth to you, but if you feed them lies, they will speak falsely back and bring with them a hive of torments.  - Proverb from the book of Wisdom

Translated by George W. MacRae

I was sent forth from the power,
and I have come to those who reflect upon me,
and I have been found among those who seek after me.
Look upon me, you who reflect upon me,
and you hearers, hear me.
You who are waiting for me, take me to yourselves.
And do not banish me from your sight.
And do not make your voice hate me, nor your hearing.
Do not be ignorant of me anywhere or any time. Be on your guard!
Do not be ignorant of me.
For I am the first and the last.
I am the honored one and the scorned one.
I am the whore and the holy one.
I am the wife and the virgin.
I am <the mother> and the daughter.
I am the members of my mother.
I am the barren one
and many are her sons.
I am she whose wedding is great,
and I have not taken a husband.
I am the midwife and she who does not bear.
I am the solace of my labor pains.
I am the bride and the bridegroom,
and it is my husband who begot me.
I am the mother of my father
and the sister of my husband
and he is my offspring.
I am the slave of him who prepared me.
I am the ruler of my offspring.
But he is the one who begot me before the time on a birthday.
And he is my offspring in (due) time,
and my power is from him.
I am the staff of his power in his youth,
and he is the rod of my old age.
And whatever he wills happens to me.
I am the silence that is incomprehensible
and the idea whose remembrance is frequent.
I am the voice whose sound is manifold
and the word whose appearance is multiple.
I am the utterance of my name.

Why, you who hate me, do you love me,
and hate those who love me?
You who deny me, confess me,
and you who confess me, deny me.
You who tell the truth about me, lie about me,
and you who have lied about me, tell the truth about me.
You who know me, be ignorant of me,
and those who have not known me, let them know me.
For I am knowledge and ignorance.
I am shame and boldness.
I am shameless; I am ashamed.
I am strength and I am fear.
I am war and peace.
Give heed to me.
I am the one who is disgraced and the great one.
Give heed to my poverty and my wealth.
Do not be arrogant to me when I am cast out upon the earth,
and you will find me in those that are to come.
And do not look upon me on the dung-heap
nor go and leave me cast out,
and you will find me in the kingdoms.
And do not look upon me when I am cast out among those who
are disgraced and in the least places,
nor laugh at me.
And do not cast me out among those who are slain in violence.
But I, I am compassionate and I am cruel.
Be on your guard!
Do not hate my obedience
and do not love my self-control.
In my weakness, do not forsake me,
and do not be afraid of my power.
For why do you despise my fear
and curse my pride?
But I am she who exists in all fears
and strength in trembling.
I am she who is weak,
and I am well in a pleasant place.
I am senseless and I am wise.
Why have you hated me in your counsels?
For I shall be silent among those who are silent,
and I shall appear and speak,
Why then have you hated me, you Greeks?
Because I am a barbarian among the barbarians?
For I am the wisdom of the Greeks
and the knowledge of the barbarians.
I am the judgement of the Greeks and of the barbarians.
I am the one whose image is great in Egypt
and the one who has no image among the barbarians.
I am the one who has been hated everywhere
and who has been loved everywhere.
I am the one whom they call Life,
and you have called Death.
I am the one whom they call Law,
and you have called Lawlessness.
I am the one whom you have pursued,
and I am the one whom you have seized.
I am the one whom you have scattered,
and you have gathered me together.
I am the one before whom you have been ashamed,
and you have been shameless to me.
I am she who does not keep festival,
and I am she whose festivals are many.
I, I am godless,
and I am the one whose God is great.
I am the one whom you have reflected upon,
and you have scorned me.
I am unlearned,
and they learn from me.
I am the one that you have despised,
and you reflect upon me.
I am the one whom you have hidden from,
and you appear to me.
But whenever you hide yourselves,
I myself will appear.
For whenever you appear,
I myself will hide from you.
Those who have [...] to it [...] senselessly [...].
Take me [... understanding] from grief.
and take me to yourselves from understanding and grief.
And take me to yourselves from places that are ugly and in ruin,
and rob from those which are good even though in ugliness.
Out of shame, take me to yourselves shamelessly;
and out of shamelessness and shame,
upbraid my members in yourselves.
And come forward to me, you who know me
and you who know my members,
and establish the great ones among the small first creatures.
Come forward to childhood,
and do not despise it because it is small and it is little.
And do not turn away greatnesses in some parts from the smallnesses,
for the smallnesses are known from the greatnesses.
Why do you curse me and honor me?
You have wounded and you have had mercy.
Do not separate me from the first ones whom you have known.
And do not cast anyone out nor turn anyone away
[...] turn you away and [... know] him not.
[...].
What is mine [...].
I know the first ones and those after them know me.
But I am the mind of [...] and the rest of [...].
I am the knowledge of my inquiry,
and the finding of those who seek after me,
and the command of those who ask of me,
and the power of the powers in my knowledge
of the angels, who have been sent at my word,
and of gods in their seasons by my counsel,
and of spirits of every man who exists with me,
and of women who dwell within me.
I am the one who is honored, and who is praised,
and who is despised scornfully.
I am peace,
and war has come because of me.
And I am an alien and a citizen.
I am the substance and the one who has no substance.
Those who are without association with me are ignorant of me,
and those who are in my substance are the ones who know me.
Those who are close to me have been ignorant of me,
and those who are far away from me are the ones who have known me.
On the day when I am close to you, you are far away from me,
and on the day when I am far away from you, I am close to you.
[I am ...] within.
[I am ...] of the natures.
I am [...] of the creation of the spirits.
[...] request of the souls.
I am control and the uncontrollable.
I am the union and the dissolution.
I am the abiding and I am the dissolution.
I am the one below,
and they come up to me.
I am the judgment and the acquittal.
I, I am sinless,
and the root of sin derives from me.
I am lust in (outward) appearance,
and interior self-control exists within me.
I am the hearing which is attainable to everyone
and the speech which cannot be grasped.
I am a mute who does not speak,
and great is my multitude of words.
Hear me in gentleness, and learn of me in roughness.
I am she who cries out,
and I am cast forth upon the face of the earth.
I prepare the bread and my mind within.
I am the knowledge of my name.
I am the one who cries out,

I appear and [...] walk in [...] seal of my [...].
I am [...] the defense [...].
I am the one who is called Truth

You honor me [...] and you whisper against me.
You who are vanquished, judge them (who vanquish you)
before they give judgment against you,
because the judge and partiality exist in you.
If you are condemned by this one, who will acquit you?
Or, if you are acquitted by him, who will be able to detain you?
For what is inside of you is what is outside of you,
and the one who fashions you on the outside
is the one who shaped the inside of you.
And what you see outside of you, you see inside of you;
it is visible and it is your garment.
Hear me, you hearers
and learn of my words, you who know me.
I am the hearing that is attainable to everything;
I am the speech that cannot be grasped.
I am the name of the sound
and the sound of the name.
I am the sign of the letter
and the designation of the division.
And I [...].

And [...] will not move the name.
[...] to the one who created me.
And I will speak his name.
Look then at his words
and all the writings which have been completed.
Give heed then, you hearers
and you also, the angels and those who have been sent,
and you spirits who have arisen from the dead.
For I am the one who alone exists,
and I have no one who will judge me.
For many are the pleasant forms which exist in numerous sins,
and incontinencies,
and disgraceful passions,
and fleeting pleasures,
which (men) embrace until they become sober
and go up to their resting place.
And they will find me there,
and they will live,
and they will not die again.

James M. Robinson, ed., The Nag Hammadi Library, revised edition. HarperCollins, San Francisco, 1990.

We feel the Spirit of the Cosmos only when we have freed our soul from itself, and all that would bind it to the illusions of the world, and find the work of the making our true body as one that the goddess wove for us in each night that we prayed to find her spiritual power, her being, her community, and wish to be with her beyond all other hopes and wishes of the dream of woman on earth to the woman-female Spirit in nature.

And as she may come and take the student by the hand and give him the experience again to feel and touch the immortal spirit-life body.   When he awakens and rises from his bed and knows and remembers he walks in other worlds too, and these he before dreamed of through many life-times, he now sees again and remembers his home once long ago through her love and wisdom.

E.G. Passofaro

Our work at this school and for our students is everyday. Everything we do is a progression of the whole body of our spirit working in and through us. When we give lectures it is to feel the pulse of the body of the spirit that is invisibly working in us.  That is why we are a vessel of the spirit, for this spirit works and lives in us each day and night according to our merits, or thoughts, our feelings and our deeds, and it needs our truth of heart and mind to express it.  When we share together, it is often to share the tools of clearing and keeping clean the consciousness so that like a glass we can look through our souls to the world of the spirit, and perhaps gain a glimpse of the true world behind this one.  When we see the spirit there, it is important for us to be able to share with our friends the results of our experiences. Not always is it correct or true, therefore we need to help each other with each accomplishment we make in seeing true, and also to add to the knowledge, what is false and a false path, and letting others make up their minds in freedom as to the validity of the Way.

From the Book of the Wise

Be glad if ye know the accursed thing
And know it accurst, for the Gift is yours
Of Sight where the prophets of blindness sing
By the brink of death.

And the Gift endures;
Ye shall see the last of the sharpened lies
That rivet privilege's gripe.

Be still, then, ye with the opened eyes,
Come away from the thing till the time is ripe.
Be glad that ye loathe the accursed thing,
It is given to you to foreknow the end.

But they who the unwise challenge fling 
Shall startle foe at the risk of friend 
As yet unready to endure -
And can ye fend Goliath's swipe? 

The slowly grinding mills are sure, 
Let terror alone till the time is ripe.
Be glad when the shout for the spoils, and the glee, 
The hoofs and the wheels of the prophets of wrong, 
Out thunder the warning of what shall be; 

Be still, for the tumult is not for long. 
he Finger that wrote, from a polished wall 
As surely the closed account shall wipe; 
The accursed thing ye feared shall fall 
To a boy with a sling when the time is ripe.

Talbot Mundy

Abbsaid poet Abu - Ala Al - Ma"arri 

Time perception is one sense that is integral to all things and its measure is extremely well established.

What torments modern mankind today is how he mistakenly is told that spiritual beings are something of a theory for him, when actually they (the so-called theoretical spiritual beings) hear, think, listen and make decisions based upon our thoughts, feelings, utterances, whether in public or private, and they too have every right to avoid men, remove substances of spirit, and also that which would otherwise pour beautiful fresh spirit into us, these beings now choose not to participate and pour into human error their own perfectly good spiritual substances.

As long as mankind looks at the world theoretically, and makes no attempt to study the spiritual, and a spiritual that suites the modern spiritual consciousness, he will continually find his forces are depleting and passing from him, and his consciousness gradually dulls, and dims, and his senses offer nothing but delusions.  Nothing less than the study of the spiritual and finding the concrete form of it, as presented in spiritual science will make it possible for those of a higher intelligence to once again visit our own inner soul world, and seed our spiritual life with fresh new karma can we begin to feel again in a healthy way in the modern age of the world.
