THE LIVING UNIVERSE
(A Spiritual Perspective)

THE ALL is in the earth-worm, and yet the earth-worm is far from being THE ALL.   And still the wonder remains, that though the earthworm exists merely as a lowly thing, created and having its being solely within the Mind of THE ALL --yet THE ALL is immanent in the earth-worm, and in the particles that go to make up the earth-worm.   Can there be any greater mystery than this of "All in THE ALL; and THE ALL in All?"  The Universe is a creation of Infinite Mind -- and the difference between the two poles separates them.  And yet it is merely a matter of degree --the same principle is in operation --the Principle of Correspondence manifests in each --"As above, so Below; as Below so above."
And, in the degree that Man realizes the existence of the Indwelling Spirit immanent within his being, so will he rise in the spiritual scale of life.  This is what spiritual development means --the recognition, realization, and manifestation of Spirit within us.  Try to remember this last definition --that of spiritual development.  It contains the Truth of True Religion.

How often have the majority of people heard repeated the statement that their Deity (called by many names) was "All in All," and how little have they suspected the inner occult truth concealed by these carelessly uttered words?

There are many planes of Being --many sub-planes of Life --many degrees of existence in the Universe.  And all depend upon the advancement of beings in the scale, of which scale the lowest point is the grossest matter, the highest being separated only by the thinnest division from the SPIRIT of THE ALL.   And, upward and onward along this Scale of Life, everything is moving.  All are on the Path, whose end is THE ALL.  All progress is a Returning Home.  All is Upward and Onward, in spite of all seemingly contradictory appearances.  Such is the Message of the Illumined.

The Process of Physical, or Material Manifestation
("Matter and Energy is exchangeable, not distinct." --Albert Einstein)

This Involuntary stage of Creation is sometimes called the "Outpouring" of the Divine energy, just as the Evolutionary state is called the "In-drawing."  The extreme pole of the Creative process is considered to be the furthest removed from THE ALL, while the beginning of the Evolutionary stage is regarded as the beginning of the return swing of the pendulum of Rhythm --a "coming home" idea being held in all of the Hermetic Teachings.  The Teachings are that during the "Outpouring" the vibrations become lower and lower until finally the urge (of manifestation) ceases and the return swing begins.  But there is this difference, that while in the "Outpouring" the creative forces manifest compactly and as a whole, yet from the beginning of the Evolutionary or "In-drawing" stage, there is manifested the Law of Individualization --that is, the tendency to separate into Units of Force, so that finally that which left THE ALL as individualized energy returns to its source as countless highly developed Units of Life, having risen higher and higher in the scale by means of Physical, Mental, and Spiritual Evolution. 

The ancient Hermeticists use the word "Meditation," or "Contemplation" in describing the process of the mental creation of the Universe in the Mind of THE ALL....

"The Kybalion."

Time belongs to the relative mind, and has no place in the Eternal or Absolute.  Next, the Intellect informs us that it must think of the Absolute as Infinite in Space --present everywhere --Omnipresent.   It cannot be limited, for there is nothing outside of itself to limit it.   There is no such place as Nowhere.  Every place is in the Everywhere.   And Everywhere is filled with the ALL --the Infinite Reality --the Absolute. 
And, just as was the case with the idea of Time, we find it most difficult --if not indeed impossible --to form an idea of the Omnipresent --of That which occupies Infinite Space.   This is because everything that our minds have experienced has had dimensions and limits.  The secret lies in the fact that Space, like Time, has no real existence outside of our perception of consciousness of the relative position of Things --material objects....

THE PHYSICS OF OUR AMAZING UNIVERSE
Astrophysics Most Interesting Discovery About The Universe

As time goes by, it is becoming increasingly evident, as scientific knowledge expands,  that our Universe is not as physical or material as we believe that it is.... that there is some kind of invisible unchanging  "constant"....  The new discoveries of Physics ever points toward the reality of SPIRIT and thus forever increasing the human knowledge and understanding of THE CREATOR at work in ITS "constant" Manifestation of the Universe --the unconditional CREATIVE ENERGY that makes the Universe and each unique human on earth a reality.  "Oh, Great SUSTAINER of all LIFE, how we thank THEE!"

Was the inclusion of the cosmological constant Einstein's "biggest blunder"?

The Principle of Mentalism

"The Universe is Mental in Nature, and Mental Transmutation is the art of CHANGING THE CONDITIONS OF THE UNIVERSE, along the lines of Matter, Force, and Mind"

THE ALL or GOD

"All is in THE ALL, and THE ALL is in All."

"While All is in THE ALL, it is equally true that THE ALL is in All. To him who truly understands this truth hath come great knowledge."

"Under, and back of, the Universe of Time, Space and Change, is ever to be found The Substantial Reality-The Fundamental Truth."

"The atom of matter, the unit of force, the mind of man, and the being of the arch-angel are all but degrees in one scale, and all fundamentally the same, the difference between solely a matter of degree, and rate of vibration--all are creations of THE ALL, and have their existence solely within the Infinite Mind of THE ALL."

Mental Transmutation

"Mind (as well as metals and elements) may be transmuted, from state to state; degree to degree; condition to condition; pole to pole; vibration to vibration, True Hermetic Transmutation is a Mental Art."

Arcane Wisdom

"The Lips of wisdom are closed, except to the ears of Understanding."

"Where fall the footsteps of the Master, the ears of those ready for his Teaching open wide."

"When the ears of the student are ready to hear, then cometh the lips to fill them with Wisdom."

The Ignorant and Unsuspecting and The Knowledgeable Informed Master

The masses of people are carried along, obedient to environment; the wills and desires of others stronger than themselves; heredity; suggestion; and other outward causes moving them about like pawns on the Chessboard of Life. But the Masters, rising to the plane above, dominate their moods, characters, qualities and powers, as well as the environment surrounding them, and become movers instead of pawns.   They help PLAY THE GAME OF LIFE, instead of being played and moved about by other wills and environment.  They USE the Principle instead of being its tools.  The Masters obey the Causation of the higher planes, but they help RULE on their own plane.

Any individuals who have attained any degree of Self-Mastery do this to a certain degree, more or less unconsciously, but the Master does this consciously, and by the use of his Will, and attains a degree of Poise and Mental Firmness almost impossible of belief on part of the masses who are swung backward and forward like a pendulum.

They cannot annul the Principle (of RHYTHM), or cause it to cease its operation, but they have learned how to escape its effects upon themselves to a certain degree depending upon the Mastery of the Principle.  They have learned how to USE it, instead of being USED BY it.

"The Kybalion"

The Hermeticists have never sought to be martyrs, and have, instead, sat silently aside with pitying smile on their closed lips, while the "heathen raged noisily about them" in their customary amusement of putting to death and torture the honest but misguided enthusiasts who imagined that they could force upon a race of barbarians the truth capable of being understood only by the elect who had advanced along The Path. 
And the spirit of persecution has not yet died out in the land.  There are certain Hermetic Teachings, which, if publicly promulgated, would bring down upon the teachers a great cry of scorn and revilement from the multitude, who would again raise the cry of "Crucify! Crucify!"

If you are a true student, you will be able to work out and apply these Principles --if not, then you must develop yourself into one, for otherwise the Hermetic Teachings will be as "words, words, words" to you.

Divine Pymander
Master Work of the Ages
Hermes Mercurius Trismegistus

From a time long, long before Moses, a contemporary with Abraham

"All this Universal body, in which are all Bodies, is full of Soul, the Soul full of Mind, the Mind full of GOD. For within He fills them, and without He contains them, quickening the Universe."

"Life is the Union of the Mind, and the Soul, but death is a dissolving of that Union."

"God is not a Mind, but the Cause that the Mind is; not a Spirit, but the Cause that the Spirit is; not Light, but the Cause that Light is."

["The ALL" --CAUSE of all Causation whose inner nature will always remain unknowable by reason of its ABSOLUTE and INFINITE stature.  It can only be COMPREHENDED and   KNOWN to ITSELF.  We humans, with our continuously developing little brains, can only barely glimpse an understanding of THE ALL.]

"From an indefinite beginning, to an undeterminable end, for it always begins where it ends...."

"Greed is an unfulfillable desire."

Greed prevents a person from recognizing his or her own abundance or wealth and thus they are unable to utilize their own wealth properly.   They will always think that they do not have enough and fear that they may lose what they have.  Some will go as far as cheating and stealing from other people to increase their own wealth.  The Mental trap of being greedy imprisons a person in a miserable state of Mind in that they will always be found in wanton because greed is contradictory to the immutable Principles and Laws of Human Nature.  They may not even be aware of their mental state.  They may escape the law of the land in their greedy bestial activity, but they will not escape the Principles and Laws immanent within Human Nature; the cause of events that will follow in their lives.....

The Constant Change in Nature (Evolution) and The Termination of Conscious Life (The Body)

104. But the people say, That changing is Death, because the Body is dissolved, and the Life goeth into that which appeareth not [SPIRIT].
105. By this discourse, my dearest Hermes, I affirm as thou hearest, That the World is changed, because every day part thereof becomes invisible; but that it is never dissolved.
106. And these are the Passions of the World, Revolutions, and Occultations, and Revolution is a turning, but Occultation is Renovation.

"Divine Pymander"  page 95

The Experience of Hermes with The SPIRIT of THE ALL

Excerpt from the "Divine Pymander"

The second book called  "Pymander"

My Thoughts being once seriously busied about the things that are, and my Understanding lifted up, all my bodily Senses being exceedingly holden back, as it is with them that are very heavy of sleep, by reason either of fullness of meat, or of bodily labor.  Melthought I saw one of an exceeding great stature, and an infinite greatness call me by my name and say unto me, What wouldst thou hear and see?  or what wouldst thou understand, to learn, and know?

2.  Then said I, Who art thou?   I am quoth he Pymander, the mind of the great Lord, the most Mighty and absolute Emperor:  I know what thou wouldst have, and I am always present with thee.

3.  Then said I, I would learn the things that are and understand the nature of them, and know God.  How? said he: I answered, That I would gladly hear.  Then he, Have me again in thy mind, and whatsoever thou wouldst learn, I will teach thee.

4.  When he had thus said, he was changed in his Idea or Form, and straightway in the twinkling of an eye, all things were opened unto me:  And I saw an infinite sight, all things were become light, both sweet and exceedingly pleasant; and I was wonderfully delighted in beholding it.

5. But after a little while, there was a darkness made in part, coming down obliquely, fearful and hideous, which seemed unto me to be changed into a certain moist nature, unspeakably troubled, which yielded a smoke as from fire; and from whence proceeded a voice unutterable, and very mournful, but inarticulate, insomuch that it seemed to have come from that Light.

6. Then from that Light, a certain holy Word joined itself into Nature, and out flew the pure and unmixed Fire from the moist Nature upward on high; it was exceedingly light, and sharp, and operative withal.   And the Air which was also light followed the Spirit and mounted up to Fire, (from the Earth and the Water) insomuch that it seemed to hang and depend upon it.
[Comment: Possibly a description of Ethereal, or Universal Substance ("light") in which the Earth is suspended and constrained in space by the "will" or "LAW" of  SPIRIT.]

7. And the Earth, and the Water, stayed by themselves so mingled together, that the Earth could not be seen for the Water; but they were moved, because of the Spiritual Word that was carried upon them. 
[Comment: The formative stages in the creative process of our "Earth" by the "will" of SPIRIT as expressed in the Principles and Laws that all of Nature obeys in the Creative Process. ("THE LAW" or "Spiritual Word," of THE ALL)]

8. Then said Pymander unto me, Dost thou understand this Vision, and what it meaneth?  I shall know, said I: Then said he, I am that Light, the Mind, thy God, who am before that moist Nature that appeareth out of darkness; and that bright and lightful Word from the Mind, is the Son of God.
[ Comment: "GOD is LIGHT," The CAUSE OF ALL CAUSATION]

9. How is that quoth I?  Thus, replied he, Understand it: That which in thee seeth and heareth, the Word of the Lord, and the Mind, the Father, God, differ not one from the other; and the union of these is Life.
[Comment: THE LAW of SPIRIT is the UNITY of all LIFE]

Trism. I thank thee. --Pymander.  But first conceive well the Light in thy mind, and know it.
[Comment: You must know it!  Not just "believe!"]

10. When he had thus said, for a long time we looked steadfastly one upon the other, insomuch, that I trembled at his Idea or Form.
[Comment: The enormous stature of Infinite and Omnipresent SPIRIT which occupies no specific point (non-local) in Space and Time is difficult to comprehend and understand by the finite conditioned Human Mind.  Most humans are oblivious and unaware of its enormous large presence in us and all of surrounding Nature and the Universe.  Oh Yes!  It would make a person tremble, not because of fear, but because of the overwhelming, stupefied awe, at the sight of SPIRIT....  Only an ignorant and foolish human would think that he or she is not standing within ITS presence. We are never alone!]

11, But when he nodded to me, I beheld in my Mind the Light that is innumerable, and the truly indefinite Ornament or World; and that the fire is comprehended or contained in or by a most great Power and constrained to keep its station....

Hermes Trismegistus

Comment: The "most great power" that Hermes mentioned being the "Word of GOD" not as spoken by a mouth, but as the active UNIVERSAL COSMIC LAW that constrains all celestial bodies in the Universe according to LAW in their proper station or place in the macrocosm as well as the position of atomic particles in the microcosm of manifested physical reality.  The warping of Magnetic energy and gravitational fields (not visible to the human eye) in the attraction and repulsion of celestial bodies and atomic particles is evident of the GREAT CREATOR at work in keeping the Universe in a constant state of manifestation, vibration, motion, and order, as it cycles through the process of evolution.  Even to the casual observer is it evident that nothing in the Universe can or is allowed to stand still, that all things are in a constant state of vibration and motion.   Our own galaxy of which our solar system is a member moves through space and time at two million miles an hour as it evolves toward SPIRIT (the undefined and indeterminable beginning) in the upward scale of LIFE of which no human or any other life form has any control.  In other words, you the reader and I the writer are moving through space at two million miles an hour while you read and I write and we can't even feel it or do anything about it....    How is it possible for humanity not to "see" the creative process of GOD at work, THE ALL in All?  Has the gravitational field of our planet bedazzled the human consciousness to just above ground level and the eyesight to no further than our nose?   Are we lost in primitive trivial bickering in the plane of worm consciousness?   I will leave these thoughts for the reader to decide....

Anthropological research supports the evidence of the upward progress of all Life forms and indicates that all of Life does evolve upward and onward in the Great Scale of Life by their discovery of changes in the bones and other artifacts in their ongoing field research around the globe.  Their discoveries will reaffirm the Ancient Hermetic Philosophy which holds that the Universe is constantly changing and evolving.  Darwin and Newton witnessed the physical evidence of this upward progress of all Life forms but never realized the magnitude of the underlying causation in the evolutionary process of the Universe.  Acceptance of this knowledge has also been hampered by the premature cognition of doctrines and dogma of organized religion and the general resistance of humanity to accept change in the face of Truth.   As mentioned numerous times on this web site, Science and Universal Spirituality are on a parallel path that one day will converge.

Pymander to Hermes

"Know thyself well, and learn the things that are and all that is."

The above axiom is a Divine suggestion that goes far beyond the psychic mind or any religious belief system; beyond any isms or ologies, it is beyond the flight of any human imagination with regard to the things that can be learned of The MIND. It is not based on what we believe, or what we think it should be, or what we would like for it to be, but on "what is." The realization of Arcane knowledge leaves a person in stupefied, humble, and reverend awe that defies the current collective understanding regarding the reality of the Infinite GOD. The Arcanum web site is only a very small and humble token to humanity regarding "the things that are and all that is...."

Yogi Ramacharaka

When the soul sees itself as a Centre surrounded by its circumference--when the Sun knows that it is a Sun, and is surrounded by its whirling planets--then is it ready for the Wisdom and Power of the Masters. (from an old Hindu Master)

Man must master himself before he can hope to exert an influence beyond himself.

The majority of people in the present stage of race development have but a faint conception of the reality of the "I."   They accept the statement of its existence, and are conscious of themselves as an eating, sleeping, living creature --something like a higher form of animal.

I assert my mastery over Mind, Energy, and Matter, and exercise my Will over them, so do I acknowledge my subordination to the Absolute, and gladly open my soul to the inflow of Divine Will, and partake of its Power, Strength and Wisdom.

I am the Master of my mental habits --I control my character.  I will to be strong, and summon the forces of my Nature to my aid.

I am a centre. 
Around me revolves my world.
I am a centre of Influence and Power!
I am a centre of Thought and Consciousness.
I am Independent of the Body.
I am Immortal and cannot be destroyed.
I am Invincible and cannot be injured!

Realization brings Control---and Control brings results.

The human mind will instinctively find its way to the Truth, even if it has to blaze a new trail through the woods, departing from the beaten tracks of other minds around it, which lack the courage or enterprise to strike out for themselves.

Excerpts from the book, "Raja Yoga or Mental Development," by Yogi Ramacharaka (1906)
Yogi Publication Society.

The lower instincts were not implanted in your nature by "the devil"; you came by them honestly. 

Spiritual Mind does not run contrary to Intellect --it simply goes beyond Intellect.

Intellect is cold --Spiritual Consciousness is warm and alive with high feeling. 

When we learn to trust Spirit, it responds by sending us more frequent flashes of illumination and enlightenment. 

THE LOWER REGION OF HUMAN NATURE

Man if he chooses, may excel the beasts in bestiality --he may descend to depths of which the beast would never have thought.  The beast is governed solely by instinct, and his actions, so prompted, are perfectly natural and proper, and the animal is not blamed for following the impulses of its nature.  But man, in whom intellect has unfolded, knows that it is contrary to his highest nature to descend to the level of the beasts --yea, lower by far.  He adds to the brute desires the cunning and intelligence which have come to him, and deliberately prostitutes his higher principle to the task of carrying out the magnified animal propensities.  Very few animals abuse their desires --it is left for some men to do so.  The higher the degree of intellect unfolded in man, the greater the depths of low passions, appetites, and desires possible to him.  He actually creates new brute desires, or rather builds edifices of his own upon the brute foundations....

....which will result in the soul having to spend many weary years in retracing its steps over the backward road it has trodden.   Its progress has been retarded, and it will be compelled to re-travel the road to freedom, in common with the beast like natures of undeveloped creatures whose proper state of the journey it is, having an additional burden in the shape of the horror of consciousness of its surroundings, whereas its companions have no such consciousness and consequently suffer not.

Yogi Ramacharaka --"Fourteen Lessons in Yogi Philosophy" (1903)

The Brute instincts are still with us, constantly forcing themselves into our field of thought.  Occultists learn to curb and control these lower instincts, subordinating them to the higher mental ideals which unfold into the field of consciousness.  Do not be discouraged if you still find that you have much of the animal within your nature --we all have --the only difference is that in some of us have learned to control the brute, and keep him in leash and subordinate and obedient to the higher parts of our nature, while others allow the beast to rule them, and they shiver and turn pale when he shows his teeth, not seeming to realize that a firm demeanor and a calm mind will cause the beast to retreat to his corner and allow himself to be kept behind bars.  If you find constant manifestations of the beast within you, struggling to be free and to assert his old power, do not be disturbed.   This is no sign of weakness, but is really an indication that your spiritual growth has begun.  For whereas you now recognize the brute, and feel ashamed, you formerly did not realize his presence --were not aware of his existence, for you were the brute himself.

The precepts bid the soul to look within for the real source of strength --to be guided by it --to allow it to manifest freely through oneself --to be led by Spirit.  When one has sufficiently freed oneself from the restrictions and confining bonds of the lower self, and is able to allow Spirit to flow freely and manifest with a minimum degree of resistance, then will Spirit act through him and work for him, and guide him.  And even the less advanced soul may obtain the greatest benefit from opening up itself to the inflow of the Divine Principle, and allowing it to work through it.  The man who is led by Spirit --who recognizes the existence of the Real Self, and trusts it --may live in a greater measure apart from the turmoil and strife of the outer world.  Not that he may withdraw from the world (for that is often cowardice), but he is able to take his place in the great game of Life, and to do his work there and to do it well, and yet feel certain while he is in it he is not of it.  He is able practically to stand aside and see himself act.  Spirit will guide him through the struggle, and will see that he is nourished and cared for, and will always act for his ultimate good.  It will lead him to that which is best for him and will attract to him that which  he needs.  Fear and unfaith are the great obstacles to this free working of Spirit and until they are cast aside Spirit is hampered and hindered in its work.   But when they are thrown aside Spirit will be free to do its work.

Yogi Ramacharaka "Advanced Course in Yogi Philosophy" (1904)

SPIRIT

How shall we approach this subject, which even the most advanced minds in the flesh to-day can but faintly comprehend?  How can the finite express or comprehend the infinite?   Spirit, man's Seventh Principle, is the Divine Spark --our most precious inheritance from the Divine Power --a ray from the Central Sun --the Real Self.   Words cannot express it.  Our minds fail to grasp it.  It is the soul of the Soul.  To understand it we must understand God, for Spirit is a drop from the Spirit Ocean --a grain of sand from the shores of the Infinite --a particle of the Sacred Flame.  It is that something within us which is the cause of our evolution through all the weary ages.  It was the first to be, and yet it will be the last to appear in full consciousness.  When man arrives at a full consciousness of Spirit, he will be so much higher than a man that such a being is at present inconceivable to the Intellect.   Confined in many sheaths of matter, it has waited through the long and weary ages for even a faint recognition, and is content to wait for ages more until it fully brought into consciousness.  Man will ascend many steps of development --from man to archangel --before Spirit will fully claim its own.  The Spirit is that within man which closest approaches the Center --is nearest to God.   It is only in an occasional precious moment that we are aware of the existence of Spirit within us, and in such moments we are conscious of coming into the awful presence of the Unknown.  These moments may come when one is engaged in deep religious thought --while reading a poem bearing a precious message from soul to soul --in some hour of affliction when all human aid has failed us and when human words seem but mockery --in a moment when all seems lost and we feel the necessity of a direct word from a being higher than ourselves.  When these moments come they leave with us a peace which never afterward entirely escapes us, and we are ever after changed beings.  In the moment of Illumination or dawn of Spiritual Consciousness we also feel the real presence of the Spirit.  In these moments we become conscious of our relationship with and connection with the center of Life.  Through the medium of Spirit God reveals Himself to Man.  

We cannot dwell longer on this subject --it overpowers one, and mere words seem to weak for use in connection with it.  Those who have felt the impulses of the Spiritual Mind have been made faintly conscious of the abiding sense of Spirit, although they cannot grasp its full significance.  And those who have not experienced these things would not understand us if we wrote volumes of our imperfect and undeveloped conceptions of the subject.   So we will pass on, trusting that we have awakened in your minds at lest a faint desire to be brought into a closer communion and contact with this, the highest part of Self --Self itself. 
The peace of Spirit abide with you.  

(Yogi Ramacharaka) Fourteen Lessons in Yogi Philosophy (1904)

To the Spiritually Developing Person

It must not be imagined that this budding consciousness springs full-grown into a man’s mind at once. It has done so in some cases, it is true, but in the majority of instances, it is a matter of slow growth, but the man is never just the same after the growth commences. He apparently may lose his full consciousness of the truth, but it will come back to him again and again, and all the time it is working gradually to make over that man’s nature, and his changed mental attitude manifests itself in his actions. He becomes more cheerful and happy. Things that worry his neighbors seem to have but little effect upon him. He finds it hard to manifest a respectable amount of regret and grief over things that bear heavily upon those around him. He is apt to be regarded as unfeeling and heartless, notwithstanding his heart maybe full of Love and Kindness. His mental attitude is changed--his viewpoint has shifted. He finds himself ceasing to fear, and those around him are apt to consider him reckless or thoughtless. Time has less meaning to him, for the idea of eternity has come to him. Distance ceases to appall him, for is not all space his?

Such a one had better keep quiet, or he will be sure to be considered a "queer fish," and people may tap their foreheads significantly when speaking of him (behind his back).

"Advanced Course in Yogi Philosophy."  by Yogi Ramacharaka (1904)

Every one may enter the occult world for himself --providing he pays the price of attainment, which price is not of gold or silver, but of the renunciation of the lower self and the devotion to that which is highest in man.

Fourteen Lessons in Yogi Philosophy.  by Yogi Ramacharaka (1903)

Isis Unveiled
"Secrets of the Ancient Wisdom Tradition"

"....our work then, is a plea for the recognition of the Hermetic philosophy, the anciently universal Wisdom Religion, as the only possible key to the Absolute in science and theology."

Helena P. Blavatsky

The Arcanum

The person who understands the workings and operations of Universal Law, may transmute Matter, Force and Mind, into desirable Conditions by using the higher LAW against the lower Laws --All Phenomenal laws are subservient to the causation of the Higher Law.

Who is to say what is, or what isn't? The government? The United Nations? Religion? Science? When none can grow a single strand of hair on their head, or a single thumbnail on their finger?

A visual aid has been provided regarding the manifestation of Life and the cycles of death and rebirth in JPEG format.

There are many beliefs, or combination of belief systems in the world.  The question is, does a given belief hold any substance in reality?

The desire to learn and know The ARCANE TRUTHS is an act of UNCONDITIONAL UNIVERSAL LOVE.

There is no caste or social status in SPIRIT, only the Unity of Mind.

I thank GOD daily for the Wisdom and Understanding of the Knowledge of SPIRIT that has brought me the true freedom of my own Mind.

Nothing believed in Spiritual Knowledge; Nothing known in religious beliefs.

Beliefs can be shaken or altered and are subject to change.  Arcane Knowledge is unshakable, immutable, and backed by solid Universal Principles that are not invented by man nor is it written by man's hand.

The unwavering established ancient Arcane Knowledge and Wisdom does not come from us "it comes through us," Dr. D. Divine. Its firmly established principles leaves no room for argument or debate, anymore, than we argue and debate about the addition and subtraction of numbers.

The man or woman whose walk is in Spiritual Knowledge (not believes) will realize that all of Life's events is one great spiritual experience.  Such simplistic tasks as observing a single blade of grass, flowers, trees, mountains, humans, animals, the stars above, in all of nature becomes a deep Spiritual experience that for the most part escapes the general public's focus or attention.

It has been generally accepted that the human brain only operates between three to ten percent of capacity.   Ten percent of what capacity?  All theories, hypothesis, and thesis regarding the Universe and its reality have been conceived within this limiting ten percent of brain capacity leaving the other ninety percent hidden or "unknown."  Therefore are all scientific theories, hypothesis, and thesis subject to change as the human brain expands beyond the current ten percent limitation as its awareness is increased and a greater perception of reality is realized.  Beliefs and assumptions will diminish and Knowledge will increase, revising  the human perception of reality forever.  It is best to always keep an open Mind which will speedup the process of learning.

The physical Life of a mortal human is but a momentary window of Conscious Life in the human experience within the Great Physical Plane.  The brain and body, our instrument of awareness, enables the experience of consciousness in various degrees of conscious awareness in the Physical Plane through the five senses (physical) but enables a greater sense of awareness through the learning process of the sixth sense (mental) and the development and advancement of the seventh sense (MIND, or SPIRIT).   When disembodiment occurs as in physical "death" (so called), the experience of "conscious life" is terminated and only the sixth and seventh sense remains because it is non-material and subconscious in nature and therefore not subject to decay.   There are no physical particles to speak of to cause change.  In other words,   humans are "mental beings" who manifest a body.  There is more to us than meets the eye or that we realize because of the holographic connection with our INFINITE CREATOR in whose image we are created.  Without exception or exclusion, are we beings of Life, Energy, and Light which cause us to be Eternal.  An understanding of the phenomenon of the holographic principle will tell us how we are related to the Universe.

We humans do not just die and cease to exist, we cycle between our embodied and disembodied state of being because of the immutable and compelling Universal Principle of RHYTHM which rules generation and regeneration, a rise and fall of all things, a creation and destruction, a birth of embodiment, and a death of disembodiment, a constant decay and renewal of all things.  This process is present in all of Nature.  We have experienced it many times in the past and most of us have no remembrance of the experience.  However, it is well known to our subconscious Mind which has kept record throughout eternal time.  Many times we have helped each other through the birthing process --the only way most of us know to obtain a body.  We have yet to accept and learn the possibility of retaining our body.  Scientific verification of these things would be a novel idea, but for the moment it is not possible because of their focus in the mechanical and analytical state of consciousness.  Many scientific minds are becoming more and more Intuitive which will propel them into the Arcane Knowledge and Wisdom of reality.  It will be found that the parallel paths of science and Universal Spirituality will eventually converge and will leave no room for any doubt regarding the reality we live in.  The next step will be the understanding of the Universal Principles which enables physical Immortality and the reason why it is even possible in that it will cause a rise in the human consciousness above the plane of decay where entropy rules.  Armed with the very ancient Arcane Knowledge and Wisdom, man will escape the beginningless cycles of decay and renewal, the cycles of birth, death, and rebirth because of his/her higher placement in the scale of Conscious Life.

When organized religion or religious belief are rigidly resistant to change because of their established dogma, it will become dissolved in time as their usefulness to humanity becomes redefined in Spirit and their purpose may become questionable in light of the new understanding of reality and realization of the existence of  THE ALL.     When organized religion throws aside all of established dogma and superficiality of beliefs, then it becomes a Universal Religion whose "dogma" and  "beliefs" are replaced by Knowledge and is solidly backed by the Universal Principles of Life.  It must be remembered that all things are subject to constant change and that it is without cessation --nothing can or is allowed to stand still.  Something to keep in mind for organized religion.

Physical Life enables us to learn and expand our Minds (evolution) when we utilize our time wisely.  The disembodied Soul will always be compelled to return to the Great Physical Plane to experience its consciousness again, and again, until it has advanced to the point where it will fulfill and utilize UNIVERSAL COSMIC LAW to its own advantage and escaping the immutable and beginningless cyclic process of Nature.  This is the Life of a Master, a human who has mastered the lower parts of his or her own nature and subjecting the lower laws of Nature by using the Knowledge and Understanding of the higher LAW to which all phenomenal laws are subservient and obedient.  They dwell on Mental Planes far above that of the collective mindset of today's civilization whose experience is that of war, violence, suffering.   and death.  To them, Life is a mysterious enigma to which they have given little attention, if any....

FEAR is the root cause of all evils in that it creates hatred, lying, cheating, theft, dishonesty, maliciousness, separateness, superstition, human dysfunction, lack of respect, just to name a few.  However, there is another causation back of and behind that of fear, and that is of ignorance.  Ignorance is the fundamental problem in human consciousness because it is like a ship on the high seas that has no navigational equipment to pinpoint its location or where it is going in the rough waters.  How will it know where it is, or where it is going when it lacks the basic navigational equipment?  So it is with the human Mind when it wanders with no direction or purpose in Life.    Intellectual knowledge will give it some direction.... but to accomplish a permanent solution to the wandering lost human Mind, somehow, it must access a deeper Knowledge of Life, specifically, a Knowledge of the fundamental Principles of LIFE which are SPIRIT in nature and an understanding how it operates the Universe and the human Mind.  The two are inseparable, one cannot escape the other.  Most Intellectual Knowledge caters to the corporate, industrial, and financial world of reality but it will not give the freedom to the human Mind that consciousness needs in order to utilize its powerful Intuitive faculties to access the deeper KNOWLEDGE and meaning of LIFE.     All of the world's problems can be summed up and pointed in the direction of IGNORANCE and lack of KNOWLEDGE and SPIRITUAL DEVELOPMENT.  The organized religions of the world have helped in some ways but have hindered progress in others because of their rigid attachment to tradition, doctrine, and dogma, they have fallen short of the goals because of the premature cognition of their documents and rituals.   This has closed the human Mind to the greater Spiritual Knowledge and it may take many future generations to break this spell.

"Life is like a box of chocolates...."  Many flavors and colors.... some are beneficial, some are not.   Nevertheless, we are free to choose and experience the flavor of our choice.

Believers and Knowers will not share the same view because one is a premature cognition of a hypotethetical concept of belief while the other is that of an observation of an immutable and unalterable Truth that is not of our own making.

THE CONCEPT OF DUALISM

Webster's Dictionary defines dualism or the dualistic views of reality:
1: A theory that considers reality to consist of two irreducible elements or modes
2 : the quality or state of being dual or of having a dual nature
3 a : a doctrine that the universe is under the dominion of two opposing principles one of which is good and the other evil b : a view of human beings as constituted of two irreducible elements (as matter and spirit)

The problem with dualistic views about reality is that it creates disunity, separateness, superstition, creates satanic rituals because of the fundamental believe that there are two entities that rule the Universe.   One that rules "evil," while the other rules all that is "good."  This is a very primitive concept of beliefs in that it is no different than the savage who worships a rock because he or she believes that there is a supreme being that dwells in the rock and that there are evil spirits lurking and flying through the air looking for victims to take to their underworld.  The savage displays a dualistic view of reality based on his personal beliefs of what he or she believes reality is.  The cause of superstition is caused by a lack of Knowledge and awareness.  However, the savage can advance on the scale of Life if he or she is sufficiently humble in order to be teachable.  Fear is the ruler of the savage's life because of his/her ignorance of the true reality.

Some segments, if not all, of the Christian religion have taken the concept of dualism as far as to say that GOD is not present within its Creation.... if this were to be a truth, then the concept about an infinite God is not possible.    This is where science and religion clashes because of the difference in their views about reality.  Science maintains mostly a monotheistic view about reality that is based on their observations of the Universe.  Science has a problem with dualism because they realize that no matter how large a system of galaxies and planets or universes they discover, they always find an increasing larger system that can stupefy the human Mind.  There is also the ten percent limitation of the human Mind that limits its concept of reality in what it is capable of perceiving.  Furthermore, there is the problem of premature cognition of traditional doctrine within the ten percent capacity of the human brain that can further stymie or at least slow the advancement of knowledge regarding the Universe.   Therefore is it important that the Intuitive Mind is invoked within us in the acquisition of Spiritual Knowledge because SPIRIT KNOWS EVERYTHING and we can tap its INFINITE MIND for KNOWLEDGE.  When this mode of thinking is invoked, the Universal Principle of CORRESPONDENCE (the opening of the brow Chakra) is activated and enables the human Mind to acquire Knowledge from SPIRIT and from the seat of his observatory on earth, without having to physically traverse the Universe, acquire knowledge of the distant galaxies which in truth is not possible to visit because of the inherent limitations of mechanical propulsion.  The concept of physicality must be transcended before modes of transportation through the "invisible" can be utilized.

Hermetic Philosophy maintains a monotheistic view about reality and enables the concept of an INFINITE GOD that Hermetics refers to as THE ALL in All.  "The Theory of Everything" that is appearing on the scene and the eighty year old cosmological constant that Albert Einstein proposed in his equations of the General Theory of Relativity keeps reappearing in new discoveries of Physics regarding the Universe and will reaffirm and enforce the Hermetic Axiom "All is in THE ALL; and THE ALL, is in All," --"The theory of Everything."

THE TRUE ARYANS

The true Aryans are an ancient noble Spiritual race that has nothing to do with the Aryan nations of racism and skin color to which the mainstream news media has drawn so much attention and given so much credit without realizing the true meaning of "Aryan.".   The word Araya means cultured, refine, noble.  Aryavarta was the land wherein the people gave great heed to race culture.  Arya-bhava was the ancient name for the highest virtue.  Arya-marga is the path of a noble Spiritual Life.

The difference between a Cult and Occult

These two words have been carelessly utilized without understanding by most people.  It is important to Know the difference....

cult (kult) n. [[< L cultus , care, cultivation, orig. pp. of colere , to till: see WHEEL]] 1 a) a system of religious worship or ritual b) a quasi-religious group, often living in a colony, with a charismatic leader who indoctrinates members with unorthodox or extremist views, practices, or beliefs 2 a) devoted attachment to, or extravagant admiration for, a person, principle, or lifestyle, esp. when regarded as a fad [the cult of nudism] b) the object of such attachment 3 a group of followers; sect cult ic adj. cult ism n. cult ist n.

LIFE AND TEACHING OF THE MASTERS OF THE FAR EAST
by Baird Spalding

"LOVE"

"Love is, as it might be said, cohesion, or a binding force that keeps all things in relationship to their source."

"But Love will dissolve that which is not in harmony with the Universal order for it demands of everything its complete adherence to the principle of its own nature which is SPIRIT."

THE UNIVERSAL LAW OF (V.) "RHYTHM" (The cycles) AND "(VI.) CAUSE AND EFFECT"

"A rise and fall of governments and nations...."
"Every Cause has its Effect; every Effect has its Cause; everything happens according to Law;.... nothing escapes The LAW."
"Whatsoever a man sows, that shall he also reap."

"If a race or nation refuse to let go of things created by a portion of human thought instead of that which really exists, the LAW takes a hand in its progress by allowing the accumulated vibrations sent out by such a condition to reflect back upon itself (karma) through the light ray.  Then with war, strife, discord, and death on every hand, that race or nation is wiped out, in order that it may be placed again in a new-lift of creation (dharma).  Thus it can begin over again in a new contact with that which was before the beginning of human consciousness.  Civilization today is fast approaching a great reconstructive moment."

"All things that seem so stable and well founded now, will soon be immersed in a state of inversion.  Every tree that has not been planted by Truth will be uprooted.  There is approaching a complete cosmic overthrow of the present social, political, financial, and religious institutions, that will make room for the placing of the new era in order that humanity may come in closer touch with that which is and was established before the present human consciousness submerged and set it aside."

"The leaders of Christian thought have been so busy with their interdenominational bickering, each one determined that the other should not succeed, that they have nearly forgotten what true spiritual life means.   Likewise the Oriental people have set themselves so determinedly upon the esoteric, occult, and scientific side of their philosophy, that they have also passed over the spiritual."

The Knowledge and Teaching of a five hundred year old Master in the Himalayas (1894)

America
From the Himalayas (1894-1898)

"The founding of America portrays the white race's homecoming, as that land is their former home and one of the places where the great early spiritual enlightenment was brought forth.  Thus it is the land where the greatest spiritual awakening will take place.  In a short time you will be far ahead of the whole world in physical and mechanical development.  You will go on and develop the physical until it is perfected to such a degree that you will see there is but one more step to the spiritual.  When that time comes, you will have the courage to take the step.  There is a saying in your country that necessity is the mother of invention.  Necessity placed you in a position where you were obliged to do that which seemed impossible.  Your mode of accomplishment has made you a very material nation.  With your mode of living, this has been necessary in order to survive.  When you, as a nation, do touch the spiritual realm, the strides that you have made in the material will seem like child's play.  With the strong physical bodies and quick perception you have developed, your race will become a light to all other nations; and you will look back and wonder, as you are now looking back and wondering why your forefathers used the stage-coach and the tallow candle when steam and electricity were all around them, just as it is around you today.  Had they abided by the law, they would have received and benefited as you have and will."

"You will find that the spiritual surrounds and is above the material.  You will find that in the spiritual there is a higher law, and when you abide by that law, you receive the benefit; for the spiritual is just above and around the mechanical or material."

Hollywood, and the Computer Digital Technology of Today

"It will come to a point where a few of those who develop the pictures through mechanical means, to their higher degree of perfection, will be the first to see the true spiritual meaning, the educational value, the benefit to be derived, and the accomplishments that are possible.  Then those few will have the courage to step forth and proclaim the accomplishment by the pictures they produce.  It will be seen that these devices and the people that develop them --now thought to be the most material --will be the greatest power of any factor brought forth and developed by your people, in bringing out the true spiritual ideal.  Thus it will be left to those who seem to be the most material of the greatest material race, to bring forth the truly spiritual.  Your people are going on, and will bring forth a device which will reproduce the voices of those  who have passed, more accurately than they now reproduce the voices of the living.  You are going and will achieve, in a measure, mechanically, what we do with thought force.   This is where you are going to excel all the world in future development."

From a Spiritual Master of Life in the Himalayas (1894-1898)

Life and Teaching of The Masters of The Far East (Volume II)

[If a movie is produced of Baird Spalding's experiences and his party of eleven researchers with the Masters of the Himalayas during their expedition in 1894 and 1898 using today's digital technology for special effects, and if it is done right, it will cause an enormous phenomenal impact in the awakening process of human consciousness and Spiritual development around the globe, and without doubt, THE ALL will have a "hand" in bringing it about as IT desires for humanity to understand SPIRIT and to come in closer contact with it.  Peace and prosperity around the globe becomes a reality as humanity will lean towards the Unity of MIND and they will ignore and discard the influential evil ambitions of the warmongers in the world and bring change, thus avoiding the destructive forces of "ignorance" and lack of "awareness."  True global peace and Unity becomes a reality in the face of a new awareness.]

JESUS

Things which eyes has not seen and ear has not heard,
and which have not entered the heart of man....

"All the things I have done, ye will do also and greater things will ye do, for I go unto my Father...."

"Straight is the way and narrow is the gate and few there will be who find it."

"Be ye transformed by the renewal of your Mind."

"Be ye perfect, even as your Father which is in Heaven is perfect."

The Secret of Happiness

The whole meaning and joy of Life lay in the search of Perfection and understanding of God's Will.
Leo Nikolayevich Tolstoy

The Holographic Universe
by Michael Talbot

"There is no observable phenomena without an observer...."

The Rising Cost of Insurance, Medical Care, and Energy?

The free enterprise system is the most efficient and dynamic economic system ever devised by man, but it is afflicted with flaws that would destroy it through increasingly severe periods of inflation and depression [RHYTHM].  The most serious flaw in the free enterprise system is that as it accumulates more and more wealth, it becomes less and less capable of using this wealth wisely [greed].  As a result, the accumulation of  riches are accompanied by the rapid spread of human misery.... 

Karl Marx, Das Kapital (1867)

("Enron?"  One of many more examples to come, --the savagery of corporate and industrial cannibalism? Are they willing to jeopardize the free enterprise system because of their greed?)

Human Misery on The Rise

Unaffordable health care.... 
Unaffordable health insurance....
Unaffordable medicine....
Unaffordable education....
People going hungry....
Lack of governmental protection....
The continued and increased encroachment of aggressive greedy pharmaceuticals and financial institutions upon people's livelihood hungry for profits at any cost....

Lack of governmental protection against these greedy corporate entities who are the CAUSE of increased human misery (as Carl Marx predicted).  It is only viewed as a "problem," not addressed as insatiable "avarice and greed " (lack of wisdom).  This has caused the "Free Enterprise System" to become as shark invested waters.  A very dangerous trend for the Free Enterprise System itself because of shear Godlessness in business ethics.  

The book of "Revelations," in the scriptures has foretold and warned about these abominations of the nations and the consequences that are to follow as world events unfold.  There is a window of opportunity to correct all these things at the moment but it is quickly closing.   If it is not corrected, the "energy" of the world's economic infrastructure becomes compromised.  If it passes the point of no return, the domino effect of dissolution will take place.  This is not a good thing for humanity as it can cause hunger and death on a massive scale.  There are more than six billion people on this planet....  Has humanity and their politicians fallen asleep?

Excerpts and Quotations of the

Divine Pymander

The Seventh Book
His Secret Sermon in the Mount of Regeneration, and the Profession of Silence.

HERMES; TO HIS SON TAT

BACK TO TOP OF PAGE

A Spiritual explanation has been written in light blue colored fonts with regard to the axioms of the article below in order to help the reader with its Spiritual meaning. The axioms are written in Green.

DIVINE PYMANDER
Excerpts from "His First Book"
Conversation of the Poemandres or Pymander (God) To Hermes

1. O my Son, write this first book, both for Humanity sake and for Piety towards God.

2. For there can be no Religion more true or just, than to know the things that are; and to acknowledge thanks for all things, to him that made them, which thing I shall not cease continually to do.

3. What then should a man do, O Father, to lead his life well; seeing there is nothing here true?

4. Be Pious and Religious, O my Son; for he that doth so, is the best and highest Philosopher; and without Philosophy, it is impossible ever to attain the height and exactness of Piety and Religion.

5. But he that shall learn and study the things that are, and how they are ordered and governed, and by whom, and for what cause, or to what end, will acknowledge thanks to the Workman, as to a good Father, an excellent Nurse, and faithful Steward, and he that gives thanks shall be pious or Religious, and he that is Religious shall know both where truth is, and what it is, and learning that, he will be yet more and more Religious. (not "religious" as the world understands it.)

13. But now, O my Son, I will by heads run through the things that are; Understand thou what I say, and remember what thou hearest.

14. All things that are moved, only that which is not is unmovable.
All physical objects, terrestrial or celestial are moved by the Mental activity of THE ALL, while THE ALL itself, or God, is immovable because it is absolute in presence.

15. Every Body is changeable.
All physical objects by their nature change, in space and time, the realm of relativity.

16. Not every Body is dissolvable.
Bodies are capable of escaping entropy and mortality if it has the sense of reasoning and possess the Knowledge, Wisdom, and Understanding of The Divine Paradox of Immortality and mortality. Each aspect being a half a Truth.

17. Some Bodies are dissolvable.
Dissolvable, meaning, the process of entropy and the resulting death (so called) of all things that is known to every living human.

18. Every living thing is not mortal.
There are those who are not mortal.

19. Not every living thing is immortal.
Then, there are mortals who have no concept of Immortality and are subject to entropy by reason of their accepted belief in death.

20. That which may be dissolved is also corruptible.
"Dissolving," the meaning, of decrepit bodies that are no longer capable of sustaining Life with the resulting death (so called) that follows. Bodies void of a Mind and Life become dissolved and are returned to the fundamental elements of Nature. Corruptible means the deterioration of the flesh subject to entropy. However, nothing is ever lost because all that is, has its existence solely within the enormous presence of THE INFINITE LIVING MIND of GOD which we refer to as SPIRIT --THE ALL....

21. That which abides always is unchangeable.
There are things that are not subject to entropy such as the Principles of Immortality and is accomplished through the mental transmutation of the physical body. A knowledge of the mental art that is beyond human reasoning and is freely available to all who seek the Knowledge.

22. That which is unchangeable is eternal.
THE ALL, or GOD

23. That which is always made is always corrupted.
"Made" means the manifested, or physical realm where everything is subject to change, such as entropy (decay). The effects of entropy is seen in the aging of the human body, animals, vegetation, and the rusting of metals.

24. That which is made but once, is never corrupted, neither becomes any other thing.
The other aspect of reality, the other half of the Truth, the other side of the same coin etc., are things that are unalterable and unchangeable and is not subject to the process of entropy. It is not suspected by limited mortal minded people.

25. First, God; Secondly, the World; Thirdly, Man.

26. The World for Man, Man for God.

27. Of the Soul; that part which is Sensible is mortal, but that which is Reasonable is immortal.
Sensible, pertaining to the physical aspect, the five senses of the human body or any physical body. Reasonable--The substantial essence of the Human Mind which is capable of a greater sense of reasoning and awareness and is therefore capable of perceiving the greater Truths or to deviate from the Truth which results in being a subject of decay. Animals have extremely limited reasoning power and therefore become subject to the process of Nature. If Man maintains his Mind on the animal plane, which is a common practice, he or she too becomes subject to the process of Nature of which entropy is one of the aspects of manifested reality.

28. Every Essence is immortal.
"Essence" is the non-material aspect of being.

29. Every Essence is unchangeable.

30. Every thing that is, is double.
The paradox of reality such as mortality and Immortality, all things have their opposite aspects in reality such as Positive and Negative, heat and cold, light and darkness, love and fear, good and bad....all are relative on the ascending scale of Life. Each paradoxical aspect of Life slowly shades from one end of Polarity to the opposite without abrupt and sudden changes.

31. None of the things that are stand still.
Everything on the physical plane moves and vibrates such as the atoms, planets and galaxies. Nothing is allowed to stand still.  Things come and go, nothing ever stays or endures in the space/time continuum..

32. Not all things are moved by a Soul, but every thing that is, is moved by a Soul.
Everything that moves in the Universe, is moved by The Infinite Mind of THE ALL, or GOD, through the effort of its will and is the Divine Order or LAW by which all atomic and subatomic particles and elements in Nature behave.

33. Every thing that suffers is Sensible, every thing that is Sensible suffereth.
Carnal man.

34. Every thing that is sad, rejoiceth also, and is a mortal living Creature.
The pleasures and pains of carnality.

35. Not every thing that joyeth is also sad, but is an eternal living thing.
The evolved Human Mind through the awakening process and awareness of Reality, the truly Spiritually awakened person who has become polarized on the scale of Life and is no longer subject to the swing of The Pendulum, unlike the masses of people who are tossed to and fro on the chessboard of Life having no will and effort of their own and therefore no sense of purpose or direction in Life. They are subject to the swing of the Universal Pendulum, The Law of Compensation and Equilibrium

36. Not every Body is sick; every Body that is sick is dissolvable.
Disease is an indication of entropy and mortality in physical bodies that eventually become dissolved in death.

37. The Mind in God.
The Causation of Mind and Life and the resulting "Mental Laws."

38. Reasoning (or disputing, or discoursing) in Man.
Typical of our present day civilization.

39. Reason in the Mind.

40. The Mind is void of suffering.
Because Mind is a non-material aspect of all "causation."

41. No thing in a Body true.
All that is bodily or physical is subject to change and is highly illusionary.

42. All that is incorporeal, is void of Lying.
The Mental aspect of reality cannot be lied to because it always knows. Ever had a guilty conscious?

43. Every thing that is made is corruptible.
"Made" means "manifested."  All things in the manifested Universe is subject to change. A continuous Life, death, and rebirth of all things, a constant creation and destruction of suns worlds and galaxies, a rise and fall of governments and nations.  The corruption of flesh into old age and the rusting of metals .

44. Nothing good upon the Earth, nothing evil in Heaven.
The "good" as is understood by the world is a concept in the relative sense. The only significant good there is, is The Infinite itself because it is the unconditional Cause of all that exists--"The things that are, and all that is."

45. God is good, Man is evil.

46. Good is voluntary, or of its own accord.

47. Evil is involuntary, or against its will.

48. The Gods choose good things, as good things.

49. Time is a Divine thing.
"Time" is a measurement of the Evolutionary Progress and advancement of all living things, the Divineward or Spiritward Journey of all Manifested Life of which there is nothing that can escape its evolutionary power.

50. Law is human.
Mosaic Law upon which the law of the land is based.

51. Malice is the nourishment of the World.
One does not have to look far to see malice.

52. Time is the Corruption of Man.
Birth, youth, old age and the resulting dissolution of the body.

53. Whatsoever is in Heaven is unalterable.
Heaven, or the Astral Planes; the unalterable aspect of the Quantum Reality which is Non-material and Mental in nature, the aspect of Infinite MIND, of Infinite Knowledge, Wisdom, and Understanding. Only in this aspect of reality can the concept of Immortality and Eternal Life be known and understood. Heaven is not a place or a specific locality in Space and Time but a Plane of hyper Mental activity and vibrations that is spaceless and timeless.  It is unchangeable and unalterable because space, time and physical particles are absent to enable change.  A realm that escapes the present human intellect....

54. All upon the Earth is alterable.
Life as our civilization knows it is subject to the changes of evolution and Mental manipulation and transmutation of states into desirable conditions; History, or His story, the Present, and the Future, the Spiritward or Divineward journey of all Life, the Divine Providence of THE ALL that bears rule over all. Evolution affects all aspects of Life including the daily advancement of technology.  Causing all things to be suspended in a constant changing world as the world moves through space and time.

55. Nothing in Heaven is servanted, nothing upon Earth is free.
In the "Heaven" aspect of reality are no governments, courts, policemen, soldiers, or leaders of any kind. While everything in Life as the world understands it, is the exact opposite.  Everything in the "Heavenly" or "Astral Planes" which is SPIRIT in nature knows their proper position of behavior, consequently the Mosaic type laws of which the law of the land are based upon is not needed.

56. Nothing unknown in Heaven, nothing known upon Earth.
The intuitive Mind is an aspect of the Astral Planes and is capable of "seeing" and "knowing" things beyond that which the intellectual Mind is only capable of obtaining "empirically." 

57. The things upon Earth, communicate not with those in Heaven.
The human race is for the most part totally unaware of the true reality that overshadows their highly illusionary and trivial reality of materialism and for this reason are unable to connect themselves with the primordial paradigm of the true reality that could give them the master keys to the Arcane Kn
