“Statutes of Men and the Law of God”

 

 

“Man directs his life by the laws of God and the statutes of men. The statutes of men, which are for the good of men, are to be upheld by the Children of Light, who shall not live for the next life only.

“These laws, though stricken on marble ans set up on everlasting pillars at the gateways of the temples, are but diversions for the eye and exercise for the tongue, unless graven also on the tablets of your heart. Thus, you shall not fall into error.

“A man does not obey the statutes because they are the law of the land, but because they accord with his nature and inclinations. The true nature of Man stems from the Godly directive within and is, therefore, above the edicts of kings.

“In upholding the laws and statutes, the chief concern should be a man’s good intent. If he intends well and is diligent, he can be forgiven much, but if he intends well but is thoughtless, then he shall not be looked upon so kindly. Remember; men do not dispense justice, they can but hope to serve it. God alone knows what is good or wicked within his heart, therefore, He alone can dispense true justice.” ~The Kolbrin Bible (MAN:8:1-4)

Law of God

To anyone who is truly spiritual, the Law of God reigns supreme. God knows all. God is all. So to try to second guess God is foolhardy. Of course, the real problem is to distinguish what is actually the Law of God from what is the opinions of men putting words into God’s mouth. The only way to truly know God’s Law is to awaken our spiritual faculties. The awakened soul is then in direct contact with angelic beings and occasionally with God, therefore, it knows truth and it knows God’s Law. What’s more, it knows the importance of following God’s Law and has no interest in rebelling and doing its own thing.

“Mighty Wisdom and the Golden Age”

 

 

“Wisdom reacheth from one end to another mightily: and sweetly doth she order all things. I loved her, and sought her out from my youth, I desired to make her my spouse, and I was a lover of her beauty. In that she is conversant with God, she magnifieth her nobility: yea, the Lord of all things himself loved her. For she is privy to the mysteries of the knowledge of God, and a lover of his works. If riches be a possession to be desired in this life; what is richer than wisdom, that worketh all things? … If a man desire much experience, she knoweth things of old, and conjectureth aright what is to come: she knoweth the subtleties of speeches, and can expound dark sentences: she foreseeth signs and wonders, and the events of seasons and times. … For her sake I shall have estimation among the multitude, and honour with the elders, though I be young. … I shall set the people in order, and the nations shall be subject unto me. Horrible tyrants shall be afraid, when they do but hear of me; I shall be found good among the multitude, and valiant in war. After I am come into mine house, I will repose myself with her: for her conversation hath no bitterness; and to live with her hath no sorrow, but mirth and joy. Now when I considered these things in myself, and pondered them in my heart,” ~The Wisdom of Solomon

Mighty Wisdom

Wisdom is mighty because with wisdom, we can conquer all adversaries and adversities. Wisdom does give order to all things. In other words, things that seem strange, unpredictable, or unreasonable, make perfect sense when one has wisdom. Mighty wisdom turns apparent chaos into order that cannot be seen when looking only at the material side of life. Wisdom looks at the whole picture on the levels of matter, psychic, and spiritual laws and rules. By seeing the whole picture, order becomes obvious.

“Materialist Worldview and Emerging Worldview”

 

 

“It may not come as news to you that the Materialist worldview we were taught in school is incorrect and what scientists, high school science teachers and university professors have been propagating based on that worldview for the past hundred years or more is off the mark. As you know, true believers in Materialism think that matter is all there is, that all the matter in the universe and all the laws that govern it came from nothing with a big bang, and that we humans can be compared to robots with computer-like brains and when the plug is pulled on what they see as our human-body machines, we die and that’s it—lights out. Anyone paying attention nowadays realizes that does not appear to be the case. The rapidly emerging view is that we are eternal, spiritual beings having a temporary physical experience. This first began to penetrate my consciousness forty years ago when I read Live After Life by psychiatrist Raymond Moody, a qualitative study for which Moody interviewed 150 people who had undergone near-death experiences. Many, many such reports and studies have been published since that validate Dr. Moody’s book, the best known recently being Proof of Heaven by neurosurgeon Eben Alexander. The vast majority of the public is probably unaware, however, that evidence gathered by highly credible scientific researchers clearly indicates the brain does not create consciousness and that it now appears certain the brain is a receiver of consciousness, an organ that evolved in order to bring consciousness into the physical dimension. … Since each new organ developed in response to a need, why would the brain be an exception? Smith and his colleagues put forth a convincing argument that intelligence came first, quite able to function without a brain in its own realm.” ~ Stephen Hawley Martin

Materialist Worldview

Part of the materialist worldview is that matter is all there is and spirits, angels, and God are just the fantasies of the immature. There are others, however, who have a slightly different view. They accept that there may be spirits, or beings living in a non-material plane of existence, but they are not important to us while we are on the physical plane. We need to concentrate, they believe, on the place where we are and not worry about other dimensions of reality. In my opinion, this is just a slight variation on the materials worldviews since it produces the same result: people who don’t concern themselves with their spiritual side.

“WHAM: Whole Heart And Mind”

 

 

During this time of lockdown due to Covid-19, many have paused to reflect on what is really important and meaningful in their life, and what they might do differently when it’s all over.

How well do you – the ‘ego personality’ – know your true Self? The answer to this question can only come from your heart. This does not require a separation of the head and heart, but rather a connection.

We often wonder whether we should follow our head or our heart. Rather than see this as an either/or choice, we should draw on both sources to serve us simultaneously and in harmony. The connection of head and heart is part of the Self-realization process: make the two into one. This ends the internal division we humans experience and makes us whole again.

“Mortal Man and Spiritual Man”

 

 

“I myself also am a mortal man, like to all, and the offspring of him that was first made of the earth, And in my mother’s womb was fashioned to be flesh. … And when I was born, I drew in the common air, and fell upon the earth. … For all men have one entrance into life, and the like going out. Wherefore I prayed, and understanding was given me: I called upon God, and the spirit of wisdom came to me. I preferred her before sceptres and thrones, and esteemed riches nothing in comparison of her. Neither compared I unto her any precious stone, because all gold in respect of her is as a little sand, and silver shall be counted as clay before her. … I learned diligently, and do communicate her liberally: I do not hide her riches. For she is a treasure unto men that never faileth: which they that use become the friends of God, being commended for the gifts that come from learning. God hath granted me to speak as I would, and to conceive as is meet for the things that are given me: because it is he that leadeth unto wisdom, and directeth the wise. … For he hath given me certain knowledge of the things that are, namely, to know how the world was made, and the operation of the elements: The beginning, ending, and midst of the times: the alterations of the turning of the sun, and the change of seasons. … For wisdom, which is the worker of all things, taught me: for in her is an understanding spirit holy, one only, manifold, subtle, lively, clear, undefiled, plain, not subject to hurt, loving the thing that is good quick, which cannot be letted, ready to do good, … For wisdom is more moving than any motion: she passeth and goeth through all things by reason of her pureness. For she is the breath of the power of God, and a pure influence flowing from the glory of the Almighty: therefore can no defiled thing fall into her. For she is the brightness of the everlasting light, the unspotted mirror of the power of God, and the image of his goodness. ” ~The Wisdom of Solomon

Mortal Man

Solomon, or whoever actually wrote this book using his name, that he is a mortal man like any of us. By this, he means that he is physically mortal for his mortal body will dies one day, just as will ours. He adds that he was fashioned of flesh in his mother’s womb, and born into the common air. He was not born in any special way that should make us think he was some special sort of being and not an ordinary human. Yet we all know that he was far from being an average person.

“The Path of Truth and Joy”

 

 

“”O thou that lovest, wouldst thou know
The path wherein thy feet should go?”
”Yea, teach it, Lord, to me.”
Through drear repentance leads the way,
And the shame of sin confessed—
And when thou hast trod on the world’s display,
And on the devil’s behest,
And on the flesh in its haughty pride,
And on thy helpless will,
That holds the soul of the chosen bride
In bonds and slavery still,
And when the enemy conquered lies,
And weary art thou and athirst—
Then to Him whom thou lovest lift thine eyes,
To Him who loved thee first.” Then shall He speak and say—
I hear a voice that calleth amain,
A voice of love and tears;
I have wooed, and I have listened in vain Through long, long years—
And it speaks to-day.
My heart is troubled, and I must haste To the sad sweet voice across the waste.”
. . . . . . .
And in the morning, when the dew is sweet,
She hears the gentle music of His feet— She hears Him speak and say,
I heard thy voice.”
The glorious One draws nigh;”
“Amidst the dew when all the woods rejoice
With gladsome melody.
And she arrays herself in fair attire,
In raiment of a bride;
Her mantle is the holy judgment fire
Wherein the gold is tried.
Of meek humility her stole is spun, Her robe is white as snow,
For unto Him, the High and Holy One,
She fain would go.
And thus she passeth through the forest dim,
Where holy people dwell,
And day and night, with dance and song and hymn,
Their gladness tell;
With solemn dance of praise that knows no end,
Hands linked with other hands of ancient years;
The mighty faith of Abraham His friend,
The longing of His seers;
The chaste humility of her who bore God’s blessed Son;
And all the victories that in days of yore
His saints have won—
These join in dance attuned to glorious song
And move in cadence sweet,
And multiplied as ages pass along
Are those rejoicing feet.” ~Matilda of Magdeburg

The Path

Matilda starts her poem by asking God to show her The Path. This is not a path to her home or a path through a forest. By The Path, she means the path of spiritual awakening and the path of spiritual enlightenment. This is something that many who call themselves spiritual these days don’t believe in. When false teachers are questioned about why the path they teach is so different from that taught by the ancient mystery schools, they will usually answer that there are many paths and we must each follow our own path. This idea has caught on with many, especially those who don’t like being told what to do. But it is a false teaching. Yes, it is possible to reach enlightenment by more than the tried-and-true path, but the direct path that is known to work is always the best. If you are in Paris, France, and you wish to go to Rome, you can head off in many directions, but if you head north or east it will take you forever to get there. It is best to head in the right direction. That is why smart spiritual students like Matilda ask to be shown the correct path, the one that is known to work.

“Sacrifice Self-Interest and Greed for Real Success”

 

 

“If people refuse to make sacrifices voluntarily, they will be forced to do so from without. Everyone can see the impending catastrophe, but not everyone knows how to avoid it. For centuries, unconscious mechanical forces have been accumulating like floodwaters in front of a dam. The strain is so great that catastrophe is inevitable. Soon the dam will give way. The energy that has accumulated within people hides great danger. Until now, this energy has remained yet to be utilized. In the past as well as in the present, people have continued to demonstrate great cruelty. At present, millions of people are becoming the victims of human madness. Afterward, justification is found in external causes.

“Enormous amounts of gas, oil, and other resources are wasted due to the modern technical means of air, ground, water-based, and submarine warfare. Nature has strictly defined how much of these goods can be used. She severely punishes those who go too far with wastefulness. Human kind will bear the consequences for squandering these fuels.

“Unprotected cities are being bombed! … This terror is unprecedented! … Nobody has the right to deprive a human being of what God has given him. … When nations fight, this is not in accordance with the Will of God.” ~Biensa Douno

How To Sacrifice

Don’t get the wrong idea. Douno isn’t advising us to sacrifice animals or our children on an altar to some god of violence. He is talking about sacrificing personal comforts and desires in order to do God’s Will and make the world a better place for all of us. Sadly, we have many needy people today who don’t get this. Even sadder, we have many more who admire the greedy people who care nothing about other people or the environment.

Impending Catastrophe

Only those who keep their heads in the sand and the fantasies of Fox News can say that we are not already in an age of catastrophes. But the catastrophes that have happened in the last few decades will be mild compared to what is coming if we don’t do something to change it. The fate of our world is largely in our hands. God will not take over and fix it as long as we exercise our free will to refuse His aid. We were created to be participants in the process of creation. We need to start doing so but in a responsible way. That means following the Will of God. Following our own ideas is what creates catastrophe. The sacrifice of our own arrogance is the way to fix these problems.

“Correct Directional Alignment”

 

 

While doing some research about vibrational frequencies this week (a lot of people are saying we are now ascending to a higher frequency), I kept coming across references to the alignment of our bodies to certain directions of the compass. As it unfolded, the process revealed one of those spooky instances of synchronicity.

“Use Music to Aid Health and Spiritual Growth”

 

 

 

“Make use of music for your spiritual development, as do the advanced beings in the Sublime World above. The new epoch of Love that is coming will give a new impulse to music. If someone wants to do something bad, play some music, and this person will relent. Awaken the Divine within people and they will listen to its voice.

“There is always the desire within you to be heard by someone when you sing. Be assured that you have the best audience. The whole of heaven listens when you begin to sing. From above, you receive the best evaluation. Do not be afraid that there is no one Above to listen to you. There is an audience there that appreciates your singing.

“It might happen at times when you cannot reconcile with your neighbor. But once you begin to sing, within you will awaken the readiness to reconcile. This is the power of music.” ~Beinsa Douno

Use Music

There are many tools that we can use to aid us in our path to spiritual awakening and enlightenment. Many are making use of crystals and incense. They are both excellent aids, but music may be better.

There is evidence that the Pythagorean school used music during their spiritual processes, primarily when watching the sunrise. It is likely that it was used in spiritual ceremonies even before that.

We also know that some of the ancients used music and sound to heal physical and mental illnesses. It is likely, therefore, that they also used it for spiritual purposes.

“Take in the Sun While You Can”

 

 

The Coronavirus pandemic is assaulting our health, disturbing our peace of mind and forcing us to question values and priorities. For some it will challenge their core beliefs.

Among the many news items that hit my inbox today was an article urging everyone to get out in the sunshine to absorb some vitamin D and brighten our mood, in anticipation of a possible lockdown, confining us all indoors for a while. In fact I shared a story on social media last week titled “Coronavirus and the Sun: a Lesson from the 1918 Influenza Pandemic” (read the article HERE) which included the line, “sunlight is germicidal and there is now evidence it can kill the flu virus.”

The Coronavirus has also given many of us pause to take stock of our life values. When faced with our mortality, we tend to reflect on our spiritual beliefs and re-examine those non-material goals that we may have said we’ve been too busy to follow through on, up until now.

I see on social media today that a number of New Age teachers are proclaiming this virus as the advent of a new awareness, while others fear it heralds an apocalypse. The pandemic affects both rich and poor alike – though there are concerns the gap of inequity could actually widen in its aftermath.

We each ask our own existential questions: Why has the virus come at this time (particularly for those of us in Australia who have just been through bushfires, droughts and then, for some, floods). Or, how can this be happening to me? Who or what is responsible for creating the problem, and why?

Then comes the uncomfortable inquiry into our authentic selves. Were we truly fulfilled and inspired by what we hitherto considered to be ‘normal’ life? How much time have we been spending doing what we love? Have we repressed our inner passion, getting caught up in the hectic and often meaningless pursuits of modern life? Have we given away too much power to negative forces?

At a time when many are doing physical exercises to stay fit while cooped up indoors, and others find activities to relieve the mental tedium and depressing circumstances of isolation, some of us turn to ‘spiritual exercises.’ The main point I would like to make in this blog is that it is never too late to pursue the path of self-realization.
