“The light of the infinite spirit came down to feeble nature for a short time until all of the impurity of nature became void, and in order that the darkness of nature might be exposed. I put on my garment, which is the garment of the light of the majesty—which I am. I came in the appearance of the spirit to consider the whole light, which was in the depths of the darkness, according to the will of the majesty, in order that the spirit by means of the word might be filled with his light independently of the power of the infinite light. And at my wish the spirit arose by his own power. His greatness was granted to him that he might be filled with his whole light and depart from the whole burden of the darkness. For what was behind was a dark fire that blew and pressed on the spirit. And the spirit rejoiced because he was protected from the frightful water. But his light was not equal to the majesty. What he was granted by the infinite light was given so that in all his members he might appear as a single image of light. And when the arose above the water, his dark likeness became apparent. And the spirit honored the exalted light: “Surely you alone are the infinite one, because you are above every unconceived thing, for you have protected me from the darkness. And at your wish I arose above the power of darkness.” ~ The Paraphrase of Shem

The Power of the Infinite Light

“It is said that when the realm of matter was created as an automatic reaction to the deeds of the fallen angels, God took pity on the poor creatures of matter found in the place. To make it possible for that realm to be redeemed, God sent His Great Infinite Light into the world to form spirits in all being and to form souls in the higher beings, us humans. Another variation makes more sense to me.”

“Each new stage achieved in the mystical development of the spirit has meant, not the leaving behind of the previous stages, but an adding on to them; an ever greater extension of experience, and enrichment of personality. So that the total result of this change, this steady growth of your transcendental self, is not an impoverishment of the sense-life in the supposed interests of the super-sensual, but the addition to it of another life—a huge widening and deepening of the field over which your attention can play. Sometimes the mature contemplative consciousness narrows to an intense point of feeling, in which it seems indeed ‘alone with the Alone’: sometimes it spreads to a vast apprehension of the Universal Life, or perceives the common things of sense aflame with God.” ~Evelyn Underhill

Development of Our Spiritual Faculties

“Some people fear that the  development of their spiritual faculties will mean giving up their material life. Other fear that knowledge gained through years of study in material schools will be lost and replaced with the spiritual and mystical. This is simply not the case.”

Having reached the level in my Cosolargy studies that deals with light, color and color bodies, I wanted to devise a practical way to use the A4 size color gel filters that I received with the booklet. I am what might be called an anti-handyman, and shun stores like IKEA that peddle DIY and self-assembly units. Fumbling with items that need to be screwed, glued and rudely inserted is not my idea of a relaxing weekend. The hammer is the natural enemy of the anti-handyman and I never allow one to get within 10 feet of my thumbs. So I scouted around my local K-Mart store – which I guess is the Australian version of Walmart – and found some components that would fit snugly together in a few minutes.

PICTURE 1: Stuff from K-Mart

The parts I ended up with were, as shown in picture 1, a wooden frame designed to hold an 8” x 10” picture, a small plain metal lamp base, a 2-pack of size E27 53 watt halogen light bulbs, and a small storage box made of wicker, with a cloth lining. Total cost was thirty dollars in Australian play-money, which converts to just over twenty bucks in real currency (U.S. dollars).

PICTURE 2: Components

I stood the box on end (picture 2) and removed the solid backing from the picture frame. I did, however find that it is better to retain the glass panel to press the color filter up against, using the cardboard inner frame to secure it in place. Unlike viewing the Sun with filters, glass does not inhibit the use of color treatments. The inner measurement of the box opening was actually about 8 ½ “ x 11” but, with the overhang of the cloth lining, the frame nestled into it and stayed in place without any need for fastening (picture 3).

PICTURE 3: Color Lamp

And because it is not tightly sealed, the cord of the lamp passes comfortably under the frame. Changing filters from one color to another is quick and easy.

The ideal way to use it is in a darkened room. It has been suggested to me that using colors at the lower end of the spectrum like red and orange might not be advisable at night before retiring because, just like ingesting a cup of your favorite caffeinated beverage, it could disturb your sleep pattern. If you have block-out curtains then it will work fine in the daytime. Blues and violets should produce a more calming effect before sleeping. I use mine in my bedroom, sitting on a chair next to the bed, and there is a mirror on the opposite wall, so the light is enveloping. Any further discussion about my bedroom and mirrors would be too much information.

The recommended time for exposure to color screens using artificial light is 15 to 30 minutes. As you can see, the box is small and the bulb is close to the filter as well as the surrounding cloth insert. I have been using mine for 15 minutes per session daily and have not noticed any deterioration to the filter or overheating of the fabric, so the 53 watt (800 lumens) bulb seems to be sufficient to cast enough light without damaging its surrounding components which, as you’d expect, are all made in China. I would refrain from leaving it on for more than 30 minutes or falling asleep with it on. Since I cannot afford a decent lawyer, I will borrow my legal disclaimers from the Chinese packaging: Never use this appliance in a bath, shower or swimming pool; Not intended for use by persons, including children, with reduced sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge, or Australians unless under supervision.

by Paul V. Young

“The great Fifth Hermetic Principle—the Principle of Rhythm—embodies the truth that in everything there is manifested a measured motion; a to-and-from movement; a flow and inflow; … a pendulum-like movement; … There is always an action and reaction; an advance and a retreat; a rising and a sinking; manifested in all of the airs and phenomena of the Universe. Suns, worlds, animals plants, … mind and matter, yes, even Spirit, manifests this principle. This principle manifests in the creation and destruction of worlds; in the rise and fall of nations; in the history of all things; and finally in the mental states of Man.” ~Three Initiates

The Need for Cycles

“So many people misunderstand the principles of cycles and much of our difficulties are caused by our failure to recognize this principle. In order to breath, you must inhale and then exhale and repeat that cycle over and over. You can’t just breath in constantly because your lungs can’t hold all that air. Even if they could, the exhale serves more than to release the used air from which most of the oxygen has been removed, The exhale is a cleansing thing that helps remove certain toxins from the body.

“Back when electricity was being developed as a power source, Thomas Edison favored direct current which flows in one direction only. Tesla favored alternate current which moves in both directions in cycles. While direct current is easy to use (think batteries) its major problem is that it can’t travel far. If we had followed Edison’s plan, we would have direct current generators every few blocks supplying just a small area. Tesla say that alternating current could be used over much greater distances and it is the method we adopted.”

“The Lord dwells in the souls of the humble; but shameful passions fill the hearts of the proud. Nothing so strengthens these passions against us as arrogant thoughts, and nothing uproots the evil herbs of the soul so effectively as blessed humility. Hence humility is rightly called the executioner of passions. Let your soul be free of evil fantasies and illuminated with thoughts of what is truly noble. Remember constantly the saying, ‘a self-indulgent heart becomes a prison and a chain for the soul when it leaves this life; whereas an assiduous heart is an open door.’ Truly, when pure souls leave the body they are guided by angels who lead them to the life of blessedness. But unclean and unrepentant souls will be taken in charge by the demons.” ~The Philokalia

Humility VS Egotism

“It seems today that a majority of people have embraces a world where the bigger your ego and the more grandiose your passions, the better person you are. Such people become celebrities, business leaders, and even run for president. Then we wonder how we ended up with a world where the one percent owns almost everything and the rest of us are, to all practical purposes, their slaves.

“On the other hand, there are those spiritual teachers and spiritual schools that not only say that humility is better than egotism, but that the ego must be utterly destroyed if we are to make any spiritual progress at all. A few years ago, a friend suggested I read the books of a currently very popular writer on the subject of being spiritual. I got about a third of the way through his book and gave up. He seemed to be saying only one thing on every page, but with slightly different words: the ego is completely evil and must be totally eliminated.

“The truth is somewhere between those extremes, but leaning more toward humility, at least if you want to get serious about developing your spiritual faculties. We don’t want to destroy ego because it gives us drive, it gives us the desire to accomplish things. Rather than destroying the ego, it needs to be controlled and governed by an awakened and developed spirit and soul. If you visit certain parts of the world, you can find many people with a great deal of humility, but because they have virtually destroyed their egos, they accomplish nothing, and have no desire to accomplish anything, including saving their own souls. Obviously, that is not the best way to do it. Develop humility, but don’t destroy the ego in the process, just keep it in check. Don’t let ego hold you back as in the illustration on this post.”

“Light has long been a metaphor for advanced mental processes—enlightenment. In this regard, images of light have been used as methods of meditation to arrive at relaxation and expanded mental states. Now, research shows that special light sensitive cells in the eye are not used for vision, but rather, send neuronal fibers through complex circuits directly into higher brain centers of learning and emotion.”

Resident Consociate Michael has this to say about the article: “For its brevity, this is one of the most complete articles ever written on the effects of sunlight. It is very easy reading and all the information, though not cited, is supported by research publications I’ve read over the past four or five years.”

“Next in order, above the Instinctive mind, is what we have called the Intellect, that part of the mind that does our reasoning, analyzing; ‘thinking,’ etc. You are using it in the consideration of this lesson. But note this: You are using it, but it is not You, any more than was the Instinctive Mind. …
“The third, and highest, Mental Principle is what is called the Spiritual Mind, that part of the mind which is almost unknown to many of the race, but which has developed into consciousness with nearly all who read this. … All the great thoughts and idea float into the field of consciousness from this part of the mind. All the great unfoldment of the race comes from there. … His [mans] knowledge of the great occult truths reach him through this channel.” ~William Walker Atkinson

Three Mind and Thought Levels

“Mr. Atkinson doesn’t specifically connect these three levels of the mind with the brain, but he seems to imply it. In that, we in Cosolargy disagree with him. The Instinctive  and the Intellect are together what I call the brain-mind to show the relationship, but the spiritual mind is part of the spirit, that part we call the soul. And it is not surprising that it is unrecognized and unused in most people because it is dormant when we come into the physical world, and must be awakened to be used.”

“Come and Be Vibrated into Bliss”

“If man were all of one piece—I mean, if he were nothing more than a mere thing, acting and acted upon according to a fixed nature—he could be no more subject to reproach and punishment than the mere animals. But as the scheme hold, man is singles out for condemnation when he does evil; and this with justice. … For he is no mere thing. …
“This does not, however, outside the Providence of the Reason of the All; the Over-World cannot be dependent upon the World of Sense. The higher shines down upon the lower, and this illumination is Providence in the highest aspect: The Reason-Principle has two phases, one which creates the things of process and another which links them with the higher beings. … “Men possess, then, a distinctive Principle: but not all men turn to account all that is in their nature; …” ~Plotinus

Man is Different

“We do not consider an animal evil when it kills other animals to survive. Even when it kill a human, we generally don’t think of it as evil or needing punishment, though we probably hunt down and kill it for our own protection, not to punish it. Likewise, when a person eats a poisonous plant and dies, we do not blame the plant, for the plant did not choose to be poisonous or to be eaten. Man is, on the other hand, held responsible for his action, on both the material and spiritual levels. Man has a spiritual link.”

“This threefold union with Reality, as your attention is focused now on one aspect, now on another, of its rich simplicity, will be actualized by you in many different ways: for you are not now to suppose that an unchanging barren ecstasy is now to characterize your inner life. … The sense of your own dwelling within the Eternal transfuses and illuminates it, the sense of your own necessary efforts, a perpetual renewal of contact with the spiritual world. … When the greater love overwhelms the lesser, and your small self-consciousness is lost in the consciousness of the Whole, it will be felt as an inner stillness, a quiet fruition of Reality. … Since you are a child of Time as well as of Eternity, such effort and satisfaction, active and passive love are both needed by you, if your whole live is to be brought into union with the inconceivable rich yet simple one in whom these apparent opposites are harmonized.” ~Evelyn Underhill

“Today, perhaps more than ever, it is hard to stay focused on one thing, but that is not necessarily bad. I don’t mean the kind of lack-of-focus some people have where they never accomplish anything because they keep changing their mind on what they want to accomplish. I mean those of us who do no what we want, and will work towards a goal for years when necessary, but not all day, every day. We need to live a rich life of many worthy activities, not just one, but make sure spiritual growth is one of them.”
