India Independence Day
In this Teaching, we are taught that the world labors under division. According to last week’s theme on ancient Indian concepts, we know this to be true. This is so because each of us intrinsically believes that what we experience is understood by each of us individually. But this is not necessarily so. Just as people, nations and religions live by limited ideologies, this is a way of diversified outlook motivated by merely physical and psychological needs, reasoning and emotional beliefs that result in falsehood and incorrectness.
Our Teaching is that only the Light – the Divine, God – can unify the world. However, before this great Union, first the world must be restored. What do we mean by that? We mean that Restoration of the Creation first comes by and through Divine Law – when all things are merged – ultimately restored – then Union will exist.
Unfortunately, for us, this is a Process. This Unity is, on some level, beyond our human comprehension, but on another level, not. It is, however, to be understood only by the awakened Spirit by the Light of the Image and the Word and the Truth. Only the restored Soul unified in Spirit made in the Image of God with the Word manifest living in accordance with the Law is this unification possible.
Though we try earnestly with all of our might to be good, righteous, peaceful, and just; though we strive to be in accord with family, friends, and others, the law of nature dictates otherwise. Intrinsically, we are, by nature, bound against collective order. That is because natural life, which is set apart from the created Spirit, is different from one another. In essence, there is no accord, no matter what we may want to believe.
It is only the Spirit, created in God’s Light, that the Soul lives. The Light is Breath and Life of Soul. Once the Spirit is reborn and becomes a Living and Breathing Soul, that Soul is nurtured of God’s Divine Light and is unified with the Godhead under Divine Law as long as it holds to The Way. It has a separate life outside of the natural order of things.
Having its own life, the Soul exists by means the Image and Word of God. It is taught to reason on divine things. It observes a divine world separate from the natural world of third dimensional existence. I am not just saying this and repeating words. I, last year, in my darkest hour, was able to observe the things of which I write today.
I can tell you I saw my reasoning self as a former friend, one who was doomed to die but whom I looked upon with loving kindness – the essence of our Teaching! Being able to peer into another dimension, I was able to glimpse into another world – strange and not a part of this one –yet connected in some mystical way.
I realized for the first time, not just speaking about it but truly understanding, that unless the Soul is unified under Divine Law, that when the Soul looks upon the Sun and sees the white Light which is made for its eyes alone, we then are quickened to Life. We breath as one with Spirit. Eye meets Eye. The earthly is joined with the Heavenly and the music of the Word is heard by the ears of the Soul. We connect with the Source of All. In the ancient tradition of India, the Soul returns to the hub of the rotating Wheel – the Wheel of the Law. Time stops. Space is condensed. Dimensions are merged. At that point, the Spirit is freed from bondage. That is the essence of our Teaching: Freedom, Liberation and Unity under the Law of God.
I am happy to speak to you of my experiences and answer any questions you may have.
