“Rays of the Sun for Spiritual Health”

“The rays of the Sun are a bearer of great good. And each ray that comes out of God brings great blessing to the people. It is alive. I am not saying that the Light is only a vibration, motion of the air – this is the outer part of the matter. The Light is a force that is alive and reasonable, that penetrates into the human being and revives them.

“Modern people live in great chaos – they do not know how to plan their work and as a result spend a lot of energy to accomplish poor results. If you want to work efficiently, the moment you wake up and you are still lying in your bed, thank God for everything He has given to you. You will ask, ‘Where is God?’ God is in the Sun, in the sky, in the Earth, in the water, in the air, in the wind, in the rocks, in the plants, in the animals, in humans – God is everywhere. …

“He who cannot accept truth looks only on the surface and makes conclusions which his mind can accept. The same thing happens with him who does not understand the Sacred Book of Life. He is content to seek the superficial truth – he is not ready to seek its real content. As the book is a living and sensible book for one who understands it, so is the Sun a living and sensible book, which only a few can read and understand.” ~Biensa Douno

Rays of the Sun

While Douno doesn’t seem to distinguish this, there is a difference between the sun and the Sun. The “sun” is the physical body in the sky at the center of our solar system. The “Sun” is the Spiritual Sun which is the spirit of the physical sun. Both of those suns can be bearers of good, but when it comes to spiritual development, it is the Spiritual Sun that provides that good. There is some good in the physical sun, but it is for the physical body and the mind. The physical sun does not benefit the spirit and soul.

Ray Out of God

This ray out of God can only be within the Spiritual Sun. It does bring great blessings, but only if you receive those rays and absorb them. Many people hide from those rays or block them with inappropriate thinking and behavior. Many receive them but are not willing or ready to utilize the energy in them, so the rays pass through them and do nothing. You have to accept the rays with gladness, humility, and a desire to do good in the world. Then the rays of the Sun are absorbed into the spirit and soul and the spiritual energy centers.

WEEKLY MESSAGE: May 5, 2021

HEAD OVERSEER’S WEEKLY MESSAGE

May 5, 2021

Let us now proceed to the commentary concerning the Eighteenth Saying of Jamil. It will take us several weeks to review. For those of you who are in the Second Advent Theology Program, additional commentary on this particular Saying is offered in Term II (Transformational Theology), Lecture 123.

The Eighteenth Saying (Part 2)

“With these words The Man replaced the scroll in the alforja whence he had taken it. Having done this, and hearing no response from The Mariners, he spoke a commentary on the Saying.

“‘This Saying teaches us that from out of the multitude of churches in the world that will teach Cosolargy, such as the Communities of Christ, Buddhism, Islam, Judaism, Brahmanism, and other religions embracing our concepts, something higher will evolve. We do not know how long this evolution will require, but it will begin in our lifetimes. A True Church will evolve which will be divorced from the popular religions of the day and age. It will be a truly universal religion in which men and women can express themselves as a race of spiritual beings. However, this will require a maturity which people today do not have. Therefore, the Teachings of Cosolargy will be given to the popular religions of the world as amendments and supplemental material so that they can be fulfilled as a higher religion. This church which will evolve out of all churches will be shared by all races and creeds without favoring any particular religion. This is what the Saying tells us.

“‘The first Patriarchs of this religion will be a select number of enlightened men who will follow in the footsteps of Jesus, Moses, Zoroaster, Buddha, Lao Tzu, and many of the other prophets of times past. And they will be known by their enlightenment. The office they hold will not be one that will be attained by earthly intelligence but by spiritual enlightenment which will be discerned by all. And these Patriarchs will divorce themselves from the world so they may be able to counsel the leaders of the world. The Patriarchs will lead Man as did the founders of the world religions in ancient times. They will represent a spiritual Order. And this Order will own no material thing. The Patriarchs will have naturally divested themselves of all possessions. While the churches of the world will, in fact, own buildings and possessions to serve their people, the Patriarchs will head a church that will not be an earthly organization at all. It will not be an incorporated body. It will not be licensed by the state. The spiritual leaders, the enlightened of each church, will form that church, that True Religion.

“‘They will not cease being part of the human family, nor cease being members of the other churches. They will continue to serve in their respective capacities, but they will be the founders of a truly universal church in which the knowledge of God will be impressed upon the heart of Man and not relegated to books.

“‘The spiritual maturity of Man today does not allow him to be able to conceive of such a religion. The True Teachings of the Church would not be, for example, called Cosolargy. We would not speak in terms of Christ, or in terms of God, or in terms of any terminology used by the religions of the world. There would be no need even to speak. Each would know the wisdom of God. Each would see the Image of God because each would be the Image of God; each would understand God’s Word and there would be no reason to use a language of mind and matter. But, as I say, this will take time to happen. However, the seeds of its beginnings are already planted in our own Church.’”

We will continue with this theme next week.

Again, if I may be of any personal service to you, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Very truly yours in Light+,

Gene

“These Materials Could Make Science Fiction a Reality”

Metamaterials, which could improve smartphones and change how we use other technology, allow scientists to control light waves in new ways.

Imagine operating a computer by moving your hands in the air as Tony Stark does in “Iron Man.” Or using a smartphone to magnify an object as does the device that Harrison Ford’s character uses in “Blade Runner.” Or a next-generation video meeting where augmented reality glasses make it possible to view 3-D avatars. Or a generation of autonomous vehicles capable of driving safely in city traffic.

These advances and a host of others on the horizon could happen because of metamaterials, making it possible to control beams of light with the same ease that computer chips control electricity.

The term metamaterials refers to a broad class of manufactured materials composed of structures that are finer than the wavelength of visible light, radio waves and other types of electromagnetic radiation. Together, they are now giving engineers extraordinary control in designing new types of ultracheap sensors that range from a telescope lens to an infrared thermometer.

“Spiritual Hunger in a Physical World”

Spiritual Hunger and Thirst

“Could we receive God Himself into our comprehension. He would give Himself to us without intermediary; but this is impossible to us because we are too narrow and too little to comprehend God. And therefore He pours His gifts into us according to the measure of our comprehension and the worthiness of our practices. For the fruitful unity of God ever abides above the unity of our powers and ever demands of us likeness in love and in virtues. And that is why we are touched again and again, that we may each time be renewed and become more like Him in the virtues. And, through these renewed touches, the spirit falls into hunger and thirst, and would taste through and through, and pass through the whole abyss in a storm of love, that thereby it may be satisfied. Hence there comes an eternal, hungry craving., and an eternal desire and striving after God, each according to its nobleness and the measure in which it has been touched by God; yet God remains eternally incomprehensible by way of our active desires, and therefore there abides in us, together with all saints, an eternal hunger, and an eternal desirous introversion. And in the meeting with God, the radiance and the heat are so great and so limitless that all spirits must fail in their activity, and must melt and vanish away in sensible love in the unity of their spirit. And here they must passively endure as sheer creatures the working of God. And here our spirit and Divine grace and all our virtues are one sensible love without activity, for our spirit has spent itself and has itself become love. And here the spirit is simple and susceptible of all gifts and is capable of every virtue.” ~John of Ruysbroeck

The Hunger

The spirit falls into hunger and thirst, but it is not a hunger for food or a thirst for water. It is a spiritual hunger, a hunger to be linked again to heaven and all the Light Beings who dwell there, including God. It is a hunger to be something more than a mortal being of matter struggling for decades to simply exist on this fallen world, only to die in the end. Many feel this hunger, but have no idea what it is. They try to satisfy it with material things because it is all that they know or believe in. If they believe in God at all, they believe in the god of matter, not the true God of Spirit. So they seek to satisfy that spiritual hunger with a “food” that can never satisfy it. If they are scientists, they try to discover more and more new things about the realm of matter. If they are preachers, they try to have the biggest church building and biggest congregation without realizing that the size of the building or the congregation has nothing to do with the number of souls actually awakened and saved. If they are businessmen, they try to be among the most successful businessmen ( or women) in the world, not realizing that true success is not measured by the size of your bank account or stock portfolio. What is really sad is that so many people have now fallen into the traps and illusions of matter that they think these greedy people are the pinnacle of success, when they are actually complete failures because they keep trying to satisfy a spiritual hunger with material success.

Satisfying the Spiritual Hunger

There is only one way to satisfy that spiritual hunger. We must first awaken our dormant spiritual faculties. Only when the spirit and soul are truly awakened can we understand what that spiritual hunger is all about. Once the spirit and soul have been awakened, they must be developed. You don’t stop developing a child the day after it is born. The same should be true of the spirit and soul. We must continue to develop in us the attributes that encourage spiritual growth: Love, kindness, and humility. And we must “feed” that spiritual hunger regularly. As already noted, material food won’t do. It has to be spiritual “food “. The spiritual food is the Light that comes from God and into the Spiritual Sun, then from that Sun into us. So if you want to grow and satisfy the spiritual hunger, you must turn to the Spiritual Sun. Some have become confused about this and are doing sun-gazing by looking at the physical sun. Not only can that harm the eyes, but it will also make you more material, not spiritual. You must learn how to look beyond the physical sun to the Spiritual Sun to satisfy the spiritual hunger.

“Why physics suggests other dimensions exist”

24 NOVEMBER 2020|PHYSICS

Theoretical physicists point to the idea that there are other dimensions out there, beyond what we can see. And there could be loads of them, as Melissa Hogenboom explains.

WEEKLY MESSAGE: April 28, 2021

HEAD OVERSEER’S WEEKLY MESSAGE

April 28, 2021

Our review of the Seventeenth Saying tells us that the sun is diseased and, as a consequence, the earth and the family of Man are likewise in a state of disease. The doctrines of our Community also tell us that the restoration of the human family, the planet, and the sun to health can only be achieved by proper reflection and inflection by enlightened men and women of The Community.

The Eighteenth Saying, however, deals with a different topic altogether. Let’s begin with the Saying itself and then move on to the commentary. The Eighteenth and Nineteenth Sayings go together and treat on the importance of certain men and women of The Community freeing themselves from worldly affairs and dedicating their entire beings completely to teaching and inspiring the human family. These Sayings tell us something of the way this is to be achieved.

The Eighteenth Saying (Part 1)

“The following day, The Man, in company with The Mariners, gathered again in the garden of the Kahunas of olden times. And, speaking in a voice as soft and scented as the sea breeze caressing the trees about them, he revealed another of the Secret Sayings of Jamil unto them.

“And these are the words of the Eighteenth Saying:

“Each of the religions of the world is to be given the Teachings by the Ordained. And by means of these Teachings, the older religions inspired by the Image and the Word of God given to the Prophets and Holy Ones in former ages will be regenerated and fulfilled. And from within these religions and the Ordained, the Enlightened of God will emerge to form a Holy Order of Patriarchs, an Order of Progenitors of a New Race of Man.

“And they shall be called Holy Fathers of the Church. They will emulate the Prophets and Holy Ones of ancient times, and take the necessary vows as a condition of this Holy Office. And they shall inspire the formation of a True Church, a universal Church, brought out of the many churches of the world. This True Church will live the new laws of God and, by so doing, restore the sun and the earth and the cosmos to goodly order for a New Creation in which God’s Image and Word will manifest openly as in the beginning of the First Creation.

“The Patriarchs will be those who, having fulfilled their obligation to their wives joined in holy matrimony, will cease to live as ordinary men in order to live as priests of God, each accepting his wife as a sister and spiritual Companion of the Way, thus separating themselves from all things of the world that they may be free to reflect the Image and the Word of God.

“And this Holy Order of Patriarchs shall lead the multitudes of churches of the world, inspiring them by their light and wisdom. And by these means the Patriarchs will become fathers unto the churches, joining the noble family of Holy Men of times past, protecting and safeguarding those in their charge with love and understanding, justice, sympathy, patience, tolerance, generosity, honesty, peace, goodness, and light as a unified whole, unseparated from one another; of one mind, one body, one spirit – universal and one.

“And the Order of Patriarchs will have its beginnings when, upon a pre-ordained time, you shall withdraw from the activities of Man and devote your whole life to God within The Community. And by the sign and color of your vestment, the holy members of the Order will recognize that the Order of Patriarchs has been formed. Once the Order is formed, you shall initiate disciples into it, and they shall subscribe to the vows after the passing of 52 years of age. And allow no men to take these vows and live a chaste life until they have provided for their offspring and pledged to care for their wives and family within The Community.

“And let the Patriarchs of the Church make their withdrawal from human society complete, dedicating their entire lives to the service of The Community as a glory and a power to God, seeking their origins in Light until their final mergence with God at the conclusion of their lives on earth. Let the Patriarchs live the Image and Word as did I, The Child, emulating The Way. Let the Laws and Statutes be impressed upon their hearts and minds and spirits, to be lived and not spoken, for the Word of God is neither found on paper nor revealed by the tongue. And by these means, the Holy Race shall be instructed and taught how to receive God in its midst.”
