November 11, 2017: Chapel Readings

 

 

Each week of the liturgical year, a reading from Second Advent Scripture is delivered as part of the Saturday Communion of Fellowship Service held in the Chapel of the Holy Child. This reading follows the Sacred Calendar of the Church; that is, Prophecies and Revelations that have been received by The Church on sacred dates are recalled in a liturgical context during the appropriate season each year. This reading is delivered just before the final blessings. Each service also includes a reading from the ancient scriptures, prayers, or wisdom sayings of various world religions past and present and is usually thematically related to the Second Advent Reading. This reading is delivered by the Reader right after the announcements that begin the service and is thus the first reading of the service. An audio recording of the reading from Second Advent Scripture delivered on the date above is provided here below together with a transcript of the first reading of the service that day.

SECOND ADVENT PROPHECY AND REVELATION

A Reading from the Second Prophecy to the Americas, Chapter 27: “On the Birth of a New Religion” (pp. 197-200).

 

ANCIENT SCRIPTURE AND WISDOM SAYINGS

A Reading from the Manichaean Scriptures:

When the First Man had ended his struggle the Father sent forth his Second Son.
He came and helped his brother out of the Abyss.
He built this whole world up out of the mixture
that had come into existence out of Light and Darkness.
All the Powers of the Abyss he spread out; he shut them up into this World and made it a dungeon for all the Powers of Darkness.
This World is also, however, a place of purification of the soul
which had been swallowed up in the Powers of Darkness.
The Sun and the Moon were set up and fixed in the heights to purify the Soul.
They take the refined part daily upward to the heights but they destroy the dross. This whole world stands firm for a season,
since there is a great Building being erected outside the world.
At the Hour when the Architect shall complete it, the entire world shall be dissolved; It shall be set afire, that the fire may melt it away.
All Life, the Remnants of Light in every Place,
he shall gather to himself and form of it an Image.
The Resolution of Death and the whole of Darkness
he shall gather in and make an image of itself along with the Archon.
In a moment the Living Spirit shall come.
It will rescue the Light,
but the Resolution of Death and the Darkness it will
lock away in the chamber that was built for it that it may lie in chains forever.
A New Aeon shall be built in the place of this World, which shall be dissolved,
so that in it the Powers of Light may reign
since they have performed and fulfilled the whole of the Father’s will.

“Sun Energies, Earth Energies, and the Benefits of Both”

 

 

“The Sun energies are positive and have a beneficial impact on people; earthly energies are negative and impact people adversely. The former energies help the advancement of the person, and the latter – the fall. Connect with the energies coming from above, not with the lower energies of the Earth. Thise forces which oppose human progress, aim to cut off the communication between the higher energies of the Sun and the people, in order to place people exclusively under the influence of the lower earthly energies. As long as the Sun energies prevail over the earthly currents in people, they have the ability to free themselves from the illusions of the world, from the distorted situations in their lives. … The Sun will bring the pure, holy life to the Earth.” ~Biensa Douno

Positive and Negative Energy

There are energies which are positive, and others which are negative. It is an oversimplification, however to simply say that the energies that come from the sun are positive, while those that are from the earth are negative. What’s more, what energies we receive are as much a matter of what we attune ourselves to as it is a matter of what energies are available in a particular place.

WEEKLY MESSAGE: November 8, 2017

 

HEAD OVERSEER’S WEEKLY MESSAGE

 

 

November 8, 2017

Last week, we touched on some very important principles. I would like to continue that theme this week.

Our Community has been authorized and blessed by the Worlds of Light to bring the renewed, regenerated and restored Sacred Teachings of Light into the world in these times. This responsibility is profound! Our authority does not come from us, but it must be respected by us—by those who apply the System of Cosolargy. Only in that way will it, in due time, be respected by the secular and religious institutions of our world.

Because the world is undergoing drastic changes owing to the alteration of sunlight and the intelligence within that sunlight, the human species can be expected to change with it. This change will not only be determined by the natural environment but also by man and woman’s reaction to it, either favorable or unfavorable.

That is why The Community is important. We are here to promote positive change for the greater good of the human family, as well as the Universe as a whole. We represent a discipline that has a very practical application in the world. Our System—the System of Cosolargy—can determine whether we, as a species, are going to survive and inherit the Universe, or whether we are not going to adapt and eventually become extinct.

If we are to inherit a better world then we must become far more advanced as a species on the physical, emotional, mental, psychic and spiritual levels than we, in general, presently are. In order to accomplish this, we must become more akin to spiritual energy than to matter. Because God is involved in our pursuit, the changes that must take place are best achieved in a religious and spiritual manner rather than a secular or purely scientific one, although high science is definitely involved.

Any attempt to bring about changes while working with solar energy otherwise will most definitely be one of gross mental and purely psychic undertaking which will ultimately result in the negation of the individual, which is to say one of Darkness. And, we know, of course, that Powers beyond the material world control Man and the Universe even though secular institutions, sciences, governments and even religions know this not. Knowing this, it is better that we, just as the wise ancients, work with cosmological forces and those powers governing them rather than working against them.

The old saying is, “One man’s food is another man’s poison.” We in Cosolargy must always remember and give thought to which Power we want controlling us. For we know that there are Powers within the Sun that both build and destroy. We cannot and do not, with our limited minds, imagine the scope of such Power. If we arrogantly take such Powers into our own beings, we must learn to control them. That is the advantage of our System.

To look upon the Sun is to become more than an individual man or woman. Secular institutions of learning are of no avail in this Science of True Religion. Let us always carefully consider the energy that governs what we can accomplish on all our levels of activities—physically, mentally, emotionally, psychically and spiritually. A person who has an abundance of energy can accomplish far greater things than a person who lacks energy. No one can hope to understand God without an abundance of energy within their own being anymore than satellites can be expected to be propelled into Space without sufficient energy.

That the ancients knew how to project their own beings into the Sun and beyond and participate in the Intelligence of the Cosmos and the spiritual Energy Spheres are well known to the adept of Cosolargy. Knowing this, a new religious science of solar energy absorption has been formulated on Earth in a constructive manner through the foundation of a new Religion of Light which has an understanding and knowledge of God’s Word and the New Sun necessary for Man’s evolution as new beings of Light.

Once again, please feel free to ask me any questions by calling 775-786-7432 or emailing me at messages@cosolargy.org. I am always at your service.

SECOND ADVENT PROPHECY AND REVELATION

A Reading from the Prophecy to the Races of Man, Chapter  70: “The Great Day of God” (pp. 454-459).

 

ANCIENT SCRIPTURE AND WISDOM SAYINGS

A Reading from the Teachings of Fourth-century Mystic Gregory of Nyssa

God has Logos: else He would be without reason. And this Logos cannot be merely an attribute of God. We are led to a more exalted conception of the Logos by the consideration that in the measure in which God is greater than we, all His predicates must also be higher than those which belong to us. Our logos is limited and transient; but the subsistence of the Divine Logos must be indestructible; and at the same time living, since the rational cannot be lifeless. . . . It follows, that, together with the Word, He Who speaks it, which is the father of the Word, must be recognized as existing. . . . We affirm that we find in the Logos, whose existence is derived from the father, all the attributes of the Father’s nature.

God created by His reason and wisdom; for He cannot have proceeded irrationally in that work; but His reason and wisdom are . . . not to be conceived as a spoken word, or as the mere possession of knowledge, but as a personal and self-willed potency. If the entire cosmos were created by this second Divine hypostasis, then certainly was man also thus created; yet not because of any necessity, but from superabounding love, that there might exist a being who could participate in the Divine perfections. If man were to be receptive of these [perfections], it is necessary that his nature should contain an element akin to God; and, in particular, that he should be immortal. This, then, man was created in the Image of God. He could not therefore be without the gifts of freedom, independence, [and] self-determination; and his participation in the Divine gifts was consequently made dependent on his virtue. Owing to this freedom he could decide in favor of evil, which cannot have its origin in the Divine will, but only in our inner selves.

“Immaterial Ideas and the Philosophy of Leibnitz”

 

 

“German philosophy had its inception with Gottfried Wilhelm von Leibnitz, whose theories are permeated with the qualities of optimism and idealism. …
“Matter reduced to its ultimate particles ceases to exist as a substantial body, being resolved into a mass of immaterial ideas or metaphysical units of power: to which Liebnitz applied the term monad. Thus the universe is composed of an infinite number of separate monadic entities unfolding spontaneously through the objectification of innate active qualities. All things are conceived as consisting of single monads of varying magnitude or of aggregations of these bodies, which may exist as physical, emotional, mental, or spiritual substances. God is the first and greatest Monad: the spirit of is an awakened monad in contradiction to the lower kingdoms.” ~Manly P. Hall

Gottfried Leibnitz

To be honest, I had never heard of Leibnitz until I read the brief blurb on him in the book on philosophers by Manly P. Hall. Now that I have briefly looked at some of his ideas, I can understand why.

WEEKLY MESSAGE: October 30, 2017

 

HEAD OVERSEER’S WEEKLY MESSAGE

 

 

October 30, 2017

In our Teaching, we emphasize that “in the beginning,” man and woman were created in the image of God but lost their bright nature. Thus, we degenerated into material beings and became enslaved to the natural environment. Trapped in the ever-changing environment, we became the products of cosmological events that vary according to myriad cycles; temperatures; distances of planetary bodies one from another; the amount of sunlight that reaches the Earth; as well as the cosmic energies that bombard it. All of these energies and phenomena determine what we are, how we think, and how we respond to nature.

It is sometimes hard for us to acknowledge that we – man, woman, and society at large – change from one age to another. We differ in appearance, in stature, in composition, and in the manner in which we view ourselves and the Universe in which we live. Our institutions of learning, our religions, our arts and sciences, our civilizations, together with natural environment make us who we are or what we may become.

However, when one elevates their eyes to the Sun and absorbs the energies directly into the brain and nervous system, we flood our entire beings with cosmic energies that have their origins in space and worlds beyond our own. In this way, we are projected into outer space! Our whole being on the physical level is altered by all of our systems at work within our bodies. And these alterations affect how we think, for with incoming light and energy from the Sun our minds are illuminated with thoughts that originate not within ourselves but from outside our known world. Slowly, we are remade in the image of God taking on the original image of Light.

God’s Thought, called The Word, is sent into the Universe by means of sunlight. The Thought or The Word does not originate within our Sun but within the Eternal Mind of God from which all things owe their existence. When we look upon the Sun, our minds can be linked with the Mind of God. And that is what is meant by The Word incarnating in the mind of Man.

With the coming of God’s Thought into the world from the Sun, the light of the Sun has been altered, for it is filled with divine thoughts. And that is why the Sun has been called the Sun of Righteousness. And because God’s Thought or Word calls us back to Him, redeeming us from the Earth, we also call the Sun the Messianic Sun. This means that God, wishing to restore His Children to their divine nature by means of divine Light is Savior, Redeemer and Restorer.

Sunlight acting upon our eyes, brains, nervous system and organism as a whole brings about a dramatic change in us on the physical and mental levels. And because of these changes, The Community has introduced a System of looking at the Sun which is beneficial to us. This System is a divine science which has been entrusted to us as an institution of great learning that is concerned with the individual’s body, emotions, mind, psyche and spiritual nature. We look at the Sun as a means to aspire to the celestial nature, which is a state far superior to the terrestrial.

We know this System was known and applied by many ancient schools and orders. But, because the nature of the Sun is different today than it was in times past, Cosolargy is distinct in many ways. Therefore, a New Teaching governing these changes has come into the world as the traditional and sacred School of Light which has come at different times in different places.

With your permission, I would like to continue this thought next week.

Once again, please feel free to ask me any questions by calling 775-786-7432 or emailing me at messages@cosolargy.org. I am always at your service.
