“The Pythagorean doctrine that God is the universal mind diffused through all things, and the dogma of the soul’s immortality, are the leading features in these apparently incongruous teachings. His piety and the great veneration Plato felt for the MYSTERIES, are sufficient warrant that he would not allow his indiscretion to get the better of that deep sense of responsibility which is felt by every adept. ‘Constantly perfecting himself in perfect MYSTERIES, a man in them alone becomes truly perfect,’ says he in Phaedrus.
“He took no pains to conceal his displeasure that the Mysteries had become less secret than formerly. Instead of profaning them by putting them within the reach of the multitude, he would have guarded them with jealous care against all but the most worthy of his disciples.” ~H. P. Blavatsky

“Most people know of Pythagoras as a great math teacher, particularly of geometry, but he was more a philosopher and spiritual teacher than a mathematician. His interest in mathematical formulas and geometric shapes was only for the purposes of helping himself and his students grow spiritually. His idea that God is universal mind is a good one, but this should not be confused with the intellectualism of the human brain. Divine Consciousness and materialistic intellect are two very different things.”

“The recent BICEP2 discovery of evidence for cosmic inflation might point to new physics.

“Last month, scientists on the BICEP2 experiment announced the first hard evidence for cosmic inflation, the process by which the infant universe swelled from microscopic to cosmic size in an instant.

“Scientists have thought for more than three decades that we might someday find such a signal, so the discovery was not entirely unexpected. What was unexpected, however, was just how strong the signal turned out to be.”

 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 by the Officiant of the Communion Service (that is, Bishop Gene Savoy, or occasionally in his stead, Bishop Sean Savoy) 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 Book of God’s Revelation, “The Opening of the Seven Seals” (pp.95-103):

ANCIENT SCRIPTURE AND WISDOM SAYINGS

A Reading from the Gospel of Philip:

Some are afraid lest they be resurrected naked. Because of this they wish to rise in the flesh, and they do not know that it is those who wear the flesh who are naked. It is those who unclothe themselves who are not naked. “Flesh and blood shall not inherit the kingdom of God.” What is it that will not inherit? That which is on us. But, also, what is it that will inherit? He who has received the Word and the Holy Spirit has food and drink and clothing. . . .

It is not possible for anyone to see anything of the things that actually exist unless he becomes like them. This is not the way with man in the world: he sees the sun without being a sun, and he sees the heaven and the earth and all other things, but he is not these things. This is quite in keeping with the truth. But you saw something of that [higher] place, and you became those things. You saw the Spirit, you became spirit. You saw Christ, you became Christ. You saw the Father, you shall become Father. So in this place you see all things but do not see yourself, but in that place you do see yourself—and what you see you shall become.

This is your forum to share higher-level experiences in Cosolargy through the images of your dreams and visions. All postings are anonymous. Send in verbal descriptions and, if you have them, drawings or paintings.

The primary value in these postings is simply to allow others to see that people do have relevant or meaningful dreams and visions. Another value is to see if others find that the dreams and visions we post are similar or identical to their own. This is why we ask for your comments.

Dreams are communications from the unconscious mind and sometimes the higher self. Some are simply compensation for attention directed elsewhere during the day; some are indications of bodily processes, and some help us work through conflicts. Occasionally, they communicate information from higher realms and thus have more than individual value.

As Cosolargists, we are learning to navigate higher realms. Dreams are part of these higher realms. The Worlds of Light, the realm of spirit, sometimes breaks through to the psyche and gives us information. What breaks through deserves our attention and analysis. In this section of the Community Communique, we offer Community members a forum for sharing their dreams and visions for the edification of the Community and themselves.

Vision No. 2

“I experienced the following vision on three separate occasions and know of one other person who had the same visual.

“All three happened at sunrise at the Red Rock Sanctuary. After the Sun had released itself from the horizon it took the shape of the Tao symbol and maintained that appearance for the entire episode, lasting more than five minutes. The symbol was in motion with flares coming off the tails of the Tao.

“It was multicolored, one side red the other side blue.”

“When we look into history we see the life of the spirit, even from its crudest beginnings, closely associated with two movements. First, with the tendency to organize into communities or churches, living under special sanctions and rules. Next, with the tendency of its greatest, most arresting personalities either to revolt from these organisms or to reform, rekindle them from within. …This constant antagonism of church and prophet, of institutional authority and individual vision, is not only true of Christianity but of all great historic faiths. … It is a truism that all such institutions tend to degenerate, to become mechanical, and to tyrannize. Are they then, in spite of these adverse characters, to be looked on as essential, inevitable, or merely desirable expressions of the spiritual life in man; or can the spiritual life flourish in complete freedom?” ~Evelyn Underhill

“Ms Underhill goes on to express her view that we are better off working alone when it comes to spiritual development, and gives hers reasons why. I don’t agree and here are the primary reasons why I thing working with others is not only better, but essential for most of us to grow spiritually.”

“The Living Light: Can biophotonic light emitted from trained probiotic microbes help balance the body?”
Presented by Compton Rom Bada at the Arizona Naturopathic Medical Association (AzNMA) Spring Conference, June 2-3, 2012.

Are humans really beings of light? Our cells release biophotons.

In the 1970’s, Dr. Fritz Albert Popp coined the term “Biophotons”, for the ultra weak photonic emissions given off by cells during reactions. This light is very weak – typically several million times as faint as the light from a firefly. He was able to confirm that living cells emit small bursts of light. He determined that cells do not just radiate light, they also absorb light. He later found out that DNA is a source of our inner light…
