“The universe is made up of successive gradations of good, these gradations ascending from matter, (which is the least degree of good) to spirit (which is the greatest) degree of good). In man, his superior nature is the summum bonum. It therefore follows that his highest nature most readily recognizes good because the good external to him in the world is in harmonic ratio with the good present in hos soul. What man terms evil is therefore, in common with matter, merely the least degree of its own opposite. The least degree of good presupposes likewise the least degree of harmony and beauty. Thus deformity (evil) is really the least harmonious combination of elements naturally harmonic as individual units.” ~Manly P. Hall

Multi-Dimensional Universe

What Mr. Hall calls “gradations” of the universe, most of us refer to as dimensions. While I have known for some time that the dimensions increased in the level of spirit as they get higher, I never thought of equating that with levels of goodness. It does make sense to do so, however.

Frieda Nelson shared with us these links to a book and video on Inca astronomy, specifically the prophetic astronomical dates attributed to Viracocha.

PART 1

“On 15th November 1532, when the Spanish Conquistadors climbed high into the Andes on a mission to conquer the Inca people, 170 Spaniards met a force of 40,000 Incas. In the first of this two-part series, Dr William Sullivan examines why Andean civilisation could possibly have been conquered as a result of this battle and why a clash of cultural beliefs could have caused the downfall of the largest nation state to have ever existed in the western hemisphere.

“In one of the strangest events in all recorded history, Spaniards after adventure, fortune and power, to their own amazement seized this seemingly infallible empire. What the Spaniards never knew, however, and what history does not record, was that the Andean people had been aware of the imminence of this event for some 100 years through a complex and systematic charting of the stars.

“The Inca Empire at its peak was the largest kingdom on Earth. The Incas were master builders, fearsome warriors and practitioners of human sacrifice. Yet this mighty state was conquered by a small band of Spanish adventurers. 7000 men were killed and 10,000 injured. But how could the Incas let this happen? The Secret Of The Incas tells the story of one man’s search to unlock one of the world’s great mysteries. Anthropologist Bill Sullivan found the answer in the myths handed down from generation to generation of Incas and finally to Jesuit priests. The Incas were fine astrologists and believed events in the stars paralleled events on earth, only 100 years hence. During the reign of the first Inca, they foretold the end of Inca civilization in 1532 – the year the Spanish invaded. The Incas’ tragic secret was that they believed they were doomed – and that resistance was futile.”

“It is of course the training and the understanding that are an important factor in the use of the arcane arts such as astrology, sacred geometry, and, indeed, theurgy. And it is perhaps worth remembering that there was a time when mathematics was seen to be fairly miraculous. Interestingly, with the development of computers, we can again return to some of the ancient ideas about the relationship between mathematics and music and find them provable.

“By quoting Irenaeus when he was talking of Marcus who was an avid user of astrology we can perhaps take the arguments in a full circle and can accept that there will always be problems in the acceptance of these arts.” ~Bernard Simon

Training and Understanding

Training is important for real spiritual growth. Understanding is even more important.

Those who chose self-training have several disadvantages. First, it is hard to know which methods really work and which don’t do anything. Second, it is hard to know what order things should be done in or where to start. Third, the books, videos, and web sites never have a complete system. The authors never tell you that.

But even if you get good training, you have to understand to apply it correctly. If a brain surgeon knows how to cut correctly, but can’t tell what tissue needs to be removed, he can’t be an effective surgeon. Similarly, if you practice spiritual techniques without any understanding of what you are doing, you will likely not get good results. In the worst cases, you might end up dealing with a demon pretending to be a light being.

So having a good teacher or a good spiritual school teaching you is worth the effort and cost. A teacher can make sure you are taught only as much as you are ready to handle. She can also make sure that you understand what you have been taught.

“Seven kinds of action of Deity were perceived by Boehme, none of which were more important than the others. These were:

1. Ungrund, the ungrounded, the hidden Mystery in all things, the transcendent aspect of Being.
2. Primordial Divine Will, ‘Father,’ both no-thing and everything.
3. Will made subjective, the ‘Christ’ function.
4. Will made objective, Holy Spirit,’ movement and life.
5. The Trinity, the coming together or expression of the three wills giving a creative unity.
6. Logos, or ‘the Word.’ the creative vibrational principle, i. e. ‘Let there be…’
7. Wisdom, Sophia, the feminine principle of God. This acknowledges the androgyny of the Divine from which trinity and creation are born and exist.

Boehme himself says: ‘For I saw and knew the Being of all beings …’” ~Bernard Simon

Seven By Seven

Seven is a number we see a lot in religious and spiritual writings. It is assumed by most to be a reference to the seven energy centers (chakras) of the human body, although there are actually more than seven. Here we see that Jacob Boehme, from whom I quote often, lists a different Holy Seven: the “actions” or aspects of God. If you consider these seven aspects closely, you will see that they relate to steps and methods of spiritual growth and enlightenment.

Chained hands with clenched fists on a white background.

“Just as if a man were bound hand and foot with chains, and someone came and loosened his bonds, and let him walk free without interference, so the Lord looses from its bonds the soul that is bound with the chains of death, and lets it go, and sets the mind free to walk at ease and unhindered into God’s air.

“Suppose a man were in the middle of a river in full flood, and overwhelmed by the water lay lifeless, drowned, with dreadful monsters all around him. If another man, who is not used to swimming, should wish to save the one who fell in, he too is lost. … Clearly, there is need of a skilled swimmer, an expert, to go out into the water, … and bring up the drowned man. … The soul is the same way.” ~St. Macarius the Egyptian

Bonds and Chains

We don’t have to search far to find someone bound in ropes and chains. To some degree, all of us are. We are bound by our own beliefs. Chains of government and social correctness also bound us. But most of all, we are chained by the great illusion of matter.

“I said to the savior, Master, will all the souls then be led safely into pure light? He answered and said to me, These are great matters that have arisen in your mind, and it is difficult to explain them to anyone except those of the unshakable race. Those upon whom the spirit of life will descend and whom the spirit will empower will be saved and become perfect and be worthy of greatness and be cleansed there of all evil and the anxieties of wickedness, since they are anxious for nothing except the incorruptible alone, and concerned with that from this moment on, without anger, jealousy, envy, desire, or greed for anything.

“They are affected by nothing but being in the flesh alone, and they wear the flesh as they look forward to a time when they will be met by those who receive them. Such people are worthy of the incorruptible, eternal life and calling. They endure everything and bear everything so as to finish the contest and receive eternal life.” ~Book of Baruch

Into the Light

There seems to be a largely accepted belief that all souls will go directly to heaven when the physical person dies. This makes as much sense as claiming that everyone who has an account at a bank will inherit the banker’s money when he dies. If dropping dead were all it took to get to heaven ,we would have had a lot of saints and holy people committing suicide. People who accept this either have a very low opinion of what heaven is, or a strange belief that death absolves all sins and bad deeds. In order to understand what happens to souls after death, we have to know what heaven is and what souls are. Know, not speculate or simply accept some foolish teaching of a church used to placate and control the parishioners.

The first ever picture of a black hole: It’s surrounded by a halo of bright gas PHOTO CREDIT: EHT

Holes in space and time?

“We should remember that there was once a discipline called natural philosophy. Unfortunately, this discipline seems not to exist today. It has been renamed science, but science of today is in danger of losing much of the natural philosophy aspect.”
— Hannes Alfvén

Consensus astronomers believe that gamma-rays, X-rays and radio waves are created by gravity and acceleration in space. Dusty clouds of hydrogen gas are supposed to reach temperatures in the millions of Kelvin, causing gas and dust to glow brightly and emit radiation. In that view, the most powerful radiation sources are those that achieve the greatest gravitational force.

Cygnus A is one of the first radio sources that revealed “jets and lobes” accelerating out of its nucleus. They are thought to result from material falling into a central black hole, where it is torn apart. Subatomic “debris” is then propelled out of the galactic core by some means not understood in consensus circles. It is suggested that spinning magnetic fields surround black holes, but the theory cannot be tested.

Among the many difficulties faced by mainstream astrophysicists is how magnetic fields can align and compress particle emissions into jets that maintain coherency. Radio jets from some galaxies reach out for over one million light years before they “disperse” into vast clouds of radio emitting particles, larger than their galactic sources.

Recently, the astronomical community announced their first “image of a black Hole”. Researchers from the Max-Planck-Institut für Radioastronomie (MPIfR) in Bonn, Germany, and the Institut de Radioastronomie Millimétrique (IRAM), using the The Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) captured what they believe is an image of a black hole. What is that visual evidence?

In the following interview recorded on April 8, 2019, physicist Wal Thornhill discusses why the recent so-called “first picture of a black hole” actually affirms the plasma cosmology hypothesis that the object at a galactic core is not a black hole at all but an ultra-high density energy storage phenomena called a Plasmoid.

“When we say that people should lead pure, sacred and wise lives, we have in mind that they should tap the appropriate energies of the Sun. The more inspired the person, the greater the capacity to make contact with the Spiritual energies of the Sun.

“The most luminous thought, the most sublime feeling and the most beautiful action have the first ray of the Sun within themselves, the first ray which penetrates the human soul.

“If, in the rising of the Sun, in the blossoming of the flowers, in the flowing of the river, in the relations between people, we see the presence of God, then that is the correct look.

“The future houses would be made of glass. The ultra-violet rays of the Sun would pass through them and these houses would be hygienic for that reason.” ~Biensa Douno

Sacred Lives

Douno says that a sacred life is all about taping into “the appropriate energies of the Sun”. I emphasized “appropriate,” because simply looking at the sun isn’t enough. Many are practicing some form of sun gazing these days, but it is mostly just gazing at the material sun for physical benefits. Douno rightly emphasizes that what we need to tap into is the light of the Spiritual Sun. At least if spiritual growth is our goal.

“The connection of the mind to the body is an arena of constantly growing scientific investigation. To an unprecedented degree, mainstream medicine today acknowledges that the mind has a profound effect on one’s physical well-being. The mind affects matter, whether it’s the so-called placebo effect or the increasingly evident physical impact of emotional stress.

“A remarkable scientist who has explored the mind/body connection is Dawson Church, the author of the recent book Mind to Matter, which suggests vast, untapped abilities of the mind to affect healing. In part one of this two-part presentation, we asked Dawson to begin with an introduction to his earlier book, The Genie in Your Genes.”
