LIGHT OF THE WORLD

LIGHT OF THE WORLD

In the New Testament Bible Jesus is quoted in Matthew 5:14 as saying “You are the light of the world ...” So what exactly would this mean? Are we a sun of God? Are we describing the light of consciousness? Is it a beacon of hope and navigation for people who have become lost? Well, since we can't exactly ask Him, and no personal witnesses remain among us, we have to do the best we can to read between the lines. To look beyond the ink and paper ... to the metaphysical. 

If you have read any of my previous work, you'll know I search among ancient Wisdom, reason, and science for answers that validate our spiritual beliefs and opinions. This particular quote happens to be one of my favourites from New Testament scripture. 

So, how can it be that WE ... are the “light of the world.” Let's begin with the word “light” from the original Greek, in which the New Testament was written in. Strong's Concordance lists the word directly related this verse as #5457 and it's full definition in English is “light, a source of light, radiance.” Now, let's consider some of the other English words for this Greek word “PHOS” .... in the Greek language as it would appear this way: φως. 

Used as a NOUN: 

φως - light, limelight

σέλας - light

φανός - lamp, light, lantern, cresset

φωτιά - fire, light

Used as a VERB: 

φωτίζω - illuminate, lighten, illumine, light

ανάπτω - kindle, fire, light

καταβαίνω - light

Used as an ADJECTIVE:

ανάλαφρος - light-hearted, flyaway 

ανοικτός - open, light, overt

ελαφρός - light, slight, gentle, buoyant, feathery, flippant

φωτεινός - light, illuminated, luminous, luminiferous

As you can see, the Greek language is far more descriptive and intricate than English. In fact, the English New Testament Bibles of today, were reduced DOWN to Latin from Greek, and then reduced once again DOWN to the English. Fortunately for me, I spoke Greek before I spoke English and have a pretty good knowledge of Greek, though not as deep as it would be if I was from the old country. Nonetheless, this has helped me tremendously with my studies and research. As a child, I spoke Greek before I spoke English. 

Now let's go science, metaphysics, and quantum physics all at the same time and leave all these definitions aside for a moment. If WE are the light of the world, then where would that light be located? It would most certainly have to be located WITHIN us ... in order to shine as light would shine. Here's where it gets a little deeper. 

Even though our sensory receptors like sight, hearing, etc. are perceived to be located on the "outside" of us ... the actual experience of all we witness, observe, and experience happens INSIDE of us. Our sensory receptors send what we see, hear, taste, smell, and feel to the assigned sensory centers in our brain. The "outside" world of "matter" is merely the lowest vibrating frequency of electrical energy. So all of life, is experienced in our heads. There is no escaping this. We are imprisoned in our mind and brain. Therefore, and logically, the entire universe comes from the INSIDE out ... not the other way around. It is projection. 

If a tree falls in the forest and there is no one there to hear it, would it make a sound? NO. Because you need ears and auditory sensory perception ... the hearing center of a brain inside of a head to experience the sound. Otherwise, there is silence. To a person who has no hearing, the world is silent ... because the experience of the sounds come from INSIDE their head. Inside THEM. 

All of our life's experiences are taking place and being defined ... inside the darkness of our skull which will NEVER be exposed to light from an OUTSIDE world. It's all electrical energy all the way down to a cellular level ... to the mitochondria power supply of every living thing. And EVERYTHING has consciousness and is alive ... even rocks and other inanimate objects. There are protons, electrons, neurons, photons, hydrogen, oxygen, and so many things that "come without observation" as the Kingdom does. It's all in our heads. The light comes FROM US and not to us. A blind person cannot see the light because his blindness is in his head ... the vision center of the brain. Therefore, the LIGHT comes from within, not without. 

The entirety of the Universe comes from within us and joins all things as One. The universe, time, etc ... is going THAT way not this way. John 17:21 has Jesus quoted as saying “that they may all be ONE, just as you, Father, are in me, and I in you, that they also may be IN us ...” This entire Universe comes from within, and WE are the light of the world. We make the sun shine. We make the Moon glow. As hard as it is to believe this, it is scientifically, spiritually, and philosophically correct. So, shine on my friend ... the Universe needs you!

GREATER THINGS

GREATER THINGS

For my friends who follow the teachings of Christianity, I want to take a much deeper look at two particular verses from the New Testament Bible which is the foundational doctrine of the Christian Faith. Christianity professes Jesus the Nazarene to be not only the one and only begotten Son of God, but also to be God in the flesh dwelling among us ... THE Son of God, and God Himself. Most people know the rest of the story, so I want to highlight two specific scriptures in this particular article. We start here:

“By this love is perfected with us, so that we may have confidence in the day of judgment, because JUST AS JESUS IS, SO ALSO ARE WE IN THIS WORLD.”

-1 John 4:17

Now, please read this verse again. Slower and let it speak beyond what you have been taught in church, and let it speak to your Soul ... the Spirit within you. The SAME Spirit that was within the man from Galilee as well as every single human being that ever existed. It specific and clearly without any confusion states “just as Jesus is, so also are we in this world.” Now how do we reconcile this statement, against the church teaching of Jesus being THE ONE AND ONLY Son of God? Either ALL of us are sons and daughters of God, or we're not. 

In the King James Bible, Book of John 10:36, Jesus is quoted as saying “Say ye of him, whom the Father hath sanctified, and sent into the world, Thou blasphemest; because I said, I am THE Son of God?” Now, pay attention. Where we go next is very important.

The King James Version of the Bible has the word “THE” in italics before “Son of God” in verse 36. This is not for emphasis as some may think, but shows words interpolated by the translators. But was it a good guess, or was it intentional? The original Greek does NOT have an article before “Son of God,” which in Greek is equivalent to having an indefinite article. This is of great importance. In the original Greek of this scripture, Jesus did NOT say he is “THE” Son of God; he said “I am ‘A’ Son of God.” He also quoted from the OT Psalm 82 that says “Ye are gods.” Look it up. This is fact. 

Now, we reference John 14:12, which is another clear and non-confusing statement as quoted directly from the mouth of Jesus (Iesus, Ieasus, Yehsu, Yeshua, Yehoshua, Joshua, Isa) according to tradition and scripture.

“In most solemn truth I tell you that he who trusts in me - THE THINGS WHICH I DO, HE SHALL DO ALSO, AND GREATER THINGS THAN THESE HE SHALL DO ...”

-John 14:12

In case you missed it ... read it one more time only slower. One more time. Greater things than HE shall do? Here is Jesus saying that “others” will perform greater achievements than he was able to do. Jesus specifically states that the ordinary humans he left behind (who, according to traditional Christian mythology, are NOT Divine as he is) will do greater things than Jesus himself did. So I ask you, if Jesus ... is God, or became the one and only Almighty God as Christianity emphatically states, then how are WE to do greater things that God/Source? Unless ... there's something more that we haven't been told. Of course.

Whether you choose to believe it or not, The Bible that so many people follow has been revised, edited, added-to, taken-away from, and changed - from the beginning - by the church authorities. The oldest known Bible in existence that we know of is the Sinai Bible (Codex Sinaiticus) currently on display in the British Museum. This Bible dates back to the 1100's. Fast forward from there, some 500 years later, and in 1611 we received the "Authorized" King James Bible. Between the two of these publications, there are estimated to be between 18,000-20,000 discrepancies. Now consider how many versions and in how many languages this book is printed in today? Just like food ... the closer you can get to the original form, the better it is for you. When studying and researching the Bible deeply, you have to go back to the original Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek. 

Today's Christianity takes the Bible scriptures in a literal and historical sense. However, the original authors of the various original scriptures intended for them to be allegorical, metaphorical, and symbolic rather than ONLY literal and historical. The names, the places, the people, all have symbolic meaning in what they were named and labeled as for a purpose ... for a deeper hidden meaning or lesson of Truth masked under the surface disguise of a real story. 

The original Christian teachings had two presentations. The Outer Mysteries were for all the commoners and those without any further spiritual or philosophical interest beyond worshipping and paying homage to a God. The Inner Mysteries were reserved for those initiates who could read between the lines ... see beyond the stories and myth - into the metaphysical - and had a true desire to go much deeper into the Inner teachings of the spiritual Wisdom of The Ages. The teachings dating back to ancient Egypt, Greece, Persia, the Far East, and so many earlier civilizations and their writings. 

The Bible clearly states “there is nothing new under the sun” and this is a very true statement. Everything that ever was, was already here when mankind arrived on the scene. Whatever we make, we use materials that already exist. We are the great re-arrangers. The same it is with religion and belief systems. We take what is already here, and re-arrange it into something else. Everything in the OT and NT Bible is based upon earlier teachings concerning mankind's purpose for being here and where we came from. We are ALL sons a daughters of God/Source ... the point of origin of all things. 

Whether you are one to believe Jesus Christ to be an individual personage, or whether you accept the mythical status of a Godman as so many before him were, it really doesn't matter. What matters is that you know you are a child of the Universe/God ... the Most High, just as Jesus represents. And that we are all One and equal to each other and to ALL things. Collectively, as humanity, WE are God/Source Energy experiencing the Universe through us, with us, and AS us. And concerning “Sin” ... it is a necessary process for discerning good from bad, right from wrong. Sin is translated from the Greek word "hamartia" which is an Olympic Archery term for "missing the mark." The mark ... is TRUTH. Sin ... is ignorance of the Truth. The way to find Truth, is THROUGH sinning ... or error ... and learning the lessons from our error in judgement and wrongdoings/consequences. 

Jesus becoming Christ (karest, christos, krestus, etc) is representative of man finding the Divine Spark of God/Source within each of us. We have advanced human consciousness through evolution and involution and we continue to reach higher and higher within our SELF to seek and find the Divine. To truly and literally bring Heaven on Earth. To unite mankind under a civilization of love, peace, joy, and compassion for ALL. To establish The Human Kingdom. Right now, we exist within the Animal Kingdom. We are the ones commissioned to bring about the Kingdom across the planet. Because ... "WE SHALL DO GREATER THINGS" ... and because "JUST AS JESUS IS, SO ALSO ARE WE IN THIS WORLD."

A LITTLE SCRIPTURAL HISTORY

A LITTLE SCRIPTURAL HISTORY

I've been researching deeply for many years just for my own satisfaction, and then I do my best to share. Most don't want me to, and others ignore it ... but I do it anyway. I'm seeking Truth and Wisdom, at any cost.

A lot of the stories in the Old Testament are in fact plagiarized material, particularly from the rich mythical heritage of the Sumerians – the inventors of writing. The story of Noah and the flood story, the creation of man out of clay, Cain and Abel, the Garden of Eden, the Tree of Knowledge, creation of Eve from Adams rib, and numerous other myths ... like Moses after he was born being put into a river ... these are all stories found recorded on Sumerian clay tablets dating 5,000 years back in time.

When The Hebrew scribes began to write down parts of their Old Testament chronicles, which they never imagined, nor planned to be a Holy Bible collection ... they unleashed the dagger of malevolence and took a stab at the superpowers of the ancient world. Namely Egypt, Sumer, and Babylon.

Everything the ancient Hebrews desperately longed for, namely a mythology with fascinating stories like that of the Sumerians, a religion with big temples like that of the Egyptians … and yes, a piece of land they could call home like everybody else, the Hebrew scribes made sure it was granted to them on the pages of what would eventually become the Bible. And in the process of making up a virtual/counterfactual history for the Israelites, the Bible scribes had to simply rewrite the ancient Near East history in a way that would make room for their tribal patriarchs to fit nicely into the narrative.

Replacing Ziusudra with Noah, Enki with Adam, Sargon of Akkad with Moses and Aten with Yahweh, (also Moses with Mises) the Hebrew scribes gave the world one of its most inconsistent and confusing books ever. In a cunning way, the Hebrew scribes, as they wrote down the scripture of their Bible, had plagiarized the ancient Near East Wisdom, and claimed it to be their own.

Is there Truth and Wisdom in there? Yes ... but it was around long before most believe it to have been. I have said it before, and I will say it again. All world religions are connected at the very foundation of the beliefs that launched them. When taken esoterically, allegorically, and metaphysically; much can be gleaned and applied to everyday spiritual life. Literally and historically, not so valuable.

Do your homework ... research for yourself. Never take as fact or Truth what ANYONE tells you, including me. Go find out for yourself. The last 100 years have opened up a wealth of rich findings dealing with the ancient Wisdom of people that were here long before we arrived on the scene.

GOD AND WAR

GOD AND WAR

As a full-time working Voiceover Talent for the last several decades, I have had my share of scripts to read. But one in particular, was to complete a long project narration for a WWI and WWII museum. It was several sessions with several hours spent telling the stories of these historical events. It was like nothing I had ever narrated before. Nothing came close.

The statistics, the casualties, the immeasurable waste of lives, materials, planning, and strategies ... all in an effort to reign death upon humanity in an effort to achieve world dominance for financial, military, geographic, and resource gains. I call it MPG. Money, Power, and Greed. 

Aircraft, gliders and motorized, ships, supplies, cargo transports, Jeeps, tanks, Helicopters, battleships, shipping crates, manufacturing, destruction, rebuilding, pilfering, raping, mass destruction of property, countless loss of life, and the effects on remaining families ... the list of staggering costs - financial and emotional - is beyond calculation and comprehension. 

The war machine created heroes, millionaires, poverty, decorated veterans, industrial growth, maiming, suffering, and a never ending strategic competition to see who could kill better, faster, and more. Suicide missions, crash landings at night into dense forest, unknown territories and languages, unsure if you're taking out an ally, or an enemy. And exactly WHO was it that drew the line in the sand of friend or foe? Are we not ALL human beings?

1,000 dead. 100,000 dead. 300,000 dead. The numbers climbed as the bombs fell and the shells rang out. Before the Normandy Invasion, standing shoulder to shoulder, soldiers were told that only 50% of them might survive. The bravery and Patriotism can never be overlooked, but the cause that brought about the effect can never be overlooked either. The cause of ALL wars is that somebody, somewhere, got MAD, and then somebody else got MAD back. But here's the fact behind getting mad - and pay attention because this is crucial - “no one can make you mad.” I'll repeat that, “no one can MAKE you mad.” You have to CHOOSE to get mad. It is a personal choice that YOU control. If everyone exercised their own personal control against getting mad, then no one would get mad. Imagine that?

Imagine a football game, one teams heads over the endzone with the ball and scores. Do we then attack and kill the other team? NO. We improve our defense. We find better ways to guard our endzone. A hurricane hits Miami. Homes are destroyed, lives are ruined, millions are lost ... but do we try and go after nature and kill it? NO. We find better ways to defend ourselves, our homes, and our cities. In a football game, somebody wins. In war, nobody wins. everybody loses.

In the 1980's Hollywood movie with Matthew Broderick called “War Games,” the war simulator computer that could actually take over in wartime conditions was named “Joshua.” The name in Hebrew is (Yehoshua), in Latin (Iesus), and in Greek (Iesous) later transliterated into English as Jesus. In the film, after what appeared to be an actual attack from an enemy, “J.O.S.H.U.A.” took over. It seemed as if there had been launched an all out world war. However, after watching all the events on the screens in the command center, Joshua stopped it all, and it was then realized it was just a computer simulation. The reason Joshua (the computer) stopped the simulation, was that the computer came to the conclusion that there could be no winner. it was GAME OVER. Why play a game, if no one wins? It took Artificial Intelligence to tell us this. 

WAR spelled backwards is RAW. Unrefined, unprocessed, not processed or purified, and in archaic Latin and Greek it was related to blood, and raw flesh. What good can this lead to? Why is mankind so hellbent on death and destruction that for millennia it has gone literally unbroken. If something does not benefit mankind, the animal kingdom, the mineral kingdom, and the plant kingdom, then why do we do it? Why do we CAUSE it knowing full well the EFFECT of what consequences will be brought forth. Life was not given by Source/God/Universe/Absolute to be snuffed out and taken away before it's natural expiration. But yet we kill, attack, and main every day all over the world. There are no benefits, only consequences.

So why do it? Money? Control? Greed? Profit? Just like cancer, and Big Pharma, war is BIG business. Huge business. And most of the companies that benefit financially are companies controlled, owned, and/or operated by the Global Elite. They own the world so they care not if there is a winner or not. They ALWAYS win. Imagine a football game between the Cowboys and the Redskins. If both teams are owned by the same company, what do the owners care about which team wins. THEY win either way. What if the Democrats and the Republicans were under the same managerial authority? Would it matter to them who wins? You see, the best way to CONTROL your opposition ... is to LEAD the opposition. If you own you, AND the other guys, it's always WIN-WIN.

Billions exchange hands within the great war machine. And lives and families are destroyed. Peace is destroyed. The next time you're at a grocery store waiting in line with a couple of people that have young children in their carts ... watch the children. They interact, they laugh, they don't see colour, religion, hatred, envy ... because WE havent taught it to them yet. Magicians hate doing magic tricks for kids because they get busted. The children haven't been programmed yet to “watch THIS hand,” so they watch them both and catch the illusion. Adults respond with “wow,” how did he do that?

So now comes my closing and the reason for the title of this paper “God And War.” For as far back as we have recorded history, and alternative history, mankind has been at war. For much of the time, it was warring over who's God was better that the other's God etc. You know the stories. If you were to take the Bible stories as literal and historical (which most people do), you would conclude that this Old Testament God was a blood thirsty maniacal mountain God of the Hebrews named "YHWH," or Yahweh, Yah, Jehovah, and many other names. Please also remember, originally the Hebrews were not monotheistic until they learned from Pharaoh Akhenaten / Moses (one and the same) and switched from polytheism to monotheism. But thats for another day. The point I am making is this. All of the Bible stories are veiled in metaphor and allegory for a much deeper message. All the murderous rampages and  destruction, and mayhem credited to "God" were written as allegory and NOT historical and literal events. Also, for another day.

So we now get to my point to ponder. Does who or what we believe this God/Absolute/Source really care what we do to each other? Seriously? If YOUR children were fighting and took out weapons, wouldn't you step in as their Father (or Mother) and stop the ensuing madness ... or would you let them exercise their “unbridled and destructive free will” with no direction or interaction. Of course NOT. Why would you let your creations, your sons and daughters, kill, or maim themselves? Unless you were simply an “inactive and uncaring parent.” You know, the kind that doesn't get involved. Kind of like God and how he doesn't get involved in the murder, torture, killing, rapes, disease, illness, nature disasters, etc. Most followers of Christianity would file this under “well thats why God gave us free will,” or ... “we just don't questions God's motives.”

Now, here we go. Ready? The reason GOD/ABSOLUTE/SOURCE who is Omniscient (all knowing), Omnipotent (all powerful), and Omnipresent (everywhere) and yet does not step in to change these events ... is ... because ... WE ARE GOD. Because collectively, WE are everywhere, have the knowingness, and all the power. Consciousness pervades everything. Do you understand? Source Energy is Spirit, not functional in a physical world of matter. it is US who are the ones that can transmute hatred and abuse into love and compassion. Its is US who can say “enough with the wars.” WE are the ones commissioned to change chaos into order. Darkness into light. Evil into Good. WE DO IT. If WE don't do it ... it simply won't get done. Not by God or Devil or any other Supernatural thing that you happen to believe will swoop down or up and change the world.

The man in the red cape is from Hollywood. Sure Superman can stop the world from spinning, reverse time, extract a dead Lois Lane from her car, and alter the event from ever having taken place. But that's the stuff movies are made of. But, if we all came together and came to the Truth and realization that we are ONE essence of the entire organism of this vast universe, and that what we do to “other” we do ourselves, then perhaps we would fully understand how to use to power that is truly greater than we are. God in this world is collectively, exactly who we are - ONE RACE, ONE BODY, ONE PEOPLE, ONE. Awaken my friends ... If WE don't do it ... if we don't make the changes, there won't be a man in a red cape flying down to save us from the perils that WE created in the first place.

ESOTERIC INNER MYSTERIES

ESOTERIC INNER MYSTERIES

The ancients teachers were esotericists, writing only of the inner life and for initiated students. They wrote of inner things under an outer veil. Esoteric, veiled in the Exoteric. They wrote of the Greater Mysteries, which were never given out to the multitude, but taught in secret only to disciplined students. Spiritual Truth was not published in modern fashion as we experience and mistakenly think is the way it was always done. These teachings were metaphysical in nature. Whatever was written, was veiled under allegory and symbolism. Mostly it was taught by oral tradition. That is what makes the following passage so profound:

"Even the mystery which hath been hid from ages and from generations, but now is made manifest to his saints: 27 To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory: (KJV)

Colossians 1:26-27 26 

Mystery schools once existed throughout the ancient World in places like Egypt, Greece, India, China, South America, among many other locations. These Spiritual centres provided a place where students could receive a mystical education by progressing through a series of Spiritual trials and initiations. This process could take many years to travail.

The goal was to provide seekers with the highest levels of Spiritual realization - to understand the deep truths of existence, the cosmos, and human Life. Initiates of the Mysteries were credited with Wisdom, as well as great magical and occult powers. The main method of teaching the Mysteries was through myths - stories with deep mystical and psychological symbolism; for example, the Egyptian, Greek, and Roman Myths. In reality, all these stories possessed two different levels.

There were the OUTER Mysteries, what we might see today as going to church, listening to mass, and perhaps lighting a candle with prayer. Then, there were the INNER Mysteries. The exoteric, versus the esoteric. People were carefully chosen from among the masses to become initiates into the Inner Mysteries. They showed signs of desiring to know more. They questioned what went beyond the parchment and ink.They were under the guidance of the Heirophants (priests) and for many, they endured many years of initiation into the hidden secrets that lay buried within and beyond the literal myths and legends. 

Like a pearl hidden within the oyster, the Truth was protected, hidden, veiled from the commoner for fear of misdirected gain. There was much to learn for those who had eyes to see, and ears to hear. But it was reserved for the select few. Not much has changed these days except for the small amount of knowledge we have of these mystery schools and their documentation before the literalist Roman Church destroyed the records, temples, and most of the practitioners of the ancient craft. 

The teachings that were preserved from these Mystery Schools, live on, and stand strong, against a barrage of scrutiny. Science is proving today, what the ancients knew in the yesterdays. Quantum Physics has allowed Science and Spirituality to realign. The word “science” literally means “proof knowledge.” We can no longer dismiss the teachings of the past as superstition and primitive nonsense. We must continue to look beyond (meta) the literal and historical, to the inner esoteric messages that have been preserved for an awakened inquisitor. ‘Cause you know sometimes words have two meanings. 

Just a thought ... 

KARMA AND OUR THOUGHTS

KARMA AND OUR THOUGHTS

When we have good, positive, and productive thoughts ... everyone will benefit from their manifestation including our self. When we have less than good thoughts, everyone will suffer from the effects of their manifestation. Benefits versus consequences. 

This is the Rule of Cause and Effect ... or what we could call "Karma." Now, despite popular belief that Karma is punishment for something you may have done in a previous life, Karma is actually an ancient Sanskrit word and principle that simply means "doing." Therefore, what we experience in our lives ... is our doing. This goes for positive and negative results.

We must also consider group Karma, or race Karma. This means that not only are we subject to the effect of our own cause(s), we are also subject to the effect of what other(s) cause. This is why it is imperative that we guard the gate of our Mind and we pay careful attention to our actions. What we think, say, and do; not only affects us ... but other. In fact ... the entirety of the world. 

To better understand this connection, we need to understand that the universe is not made up of “things” but rather, it is the only thing. All else, is an individualized essence of the whole. You can look at it as you would a high-rise office building. There is only one building, and within it there are multiple compartments comprising the entirety of the complete structure. So, if someone were to start a fire somewhere in the building, it affects the whole thing ... and everyone in it. There is no separate office. It is an individualized essence of the whole thing.

So with this example in mind, it becomes easier to understand that what we do to “other” ... we actually do to ourselves. In reality, there is no “other” ... there is only ONE. That ONE thing ... is our Universe, Life, Absolute, God, Source, or whatever your belief system chooses to call it. There are no separate things. All things are joined by the seen, and by the unseen. A fish is one with the water. Every one of us on this planet breathe the same air, stand on the same ground, are part of the entire ecosystem, and are joined as one by molecules, atoms, neurons, electrons, protons, etc ... We hear the same sounds, see the same nature, smell the same scents, etc. To take it even further, all that we sense is a projection from WITHIN our collective consciousness. 

We are ONE but we believe that we are separate individuals. The Truth is you are me, I am you ... and we are the universe. We are not born INTO this world ... we are born OUT of it. As a leaf is born from a branch, and the branch from the tree, and the tree from the root, and the root from the seed. All has one point of origin. And because this existence began as ONE, it remains as one. The universe and everything that is part of it cannot be byted out. Water is water and no matter where you find it, it still has the same source and contains all that its source elements contain. 

Now that you know WHY all is one and one is all, you can begin to understand how important just one single thought-form is to the entire universe and all that is a part of it. Think wisely, and one day, we may actually be able to experience unity, harmony, and peace on earth and beyond. Guard your thoughts and actions. They will affect everyone, everywhere.

LANGUAGE OF THE UNIVERSE

LANGUAGE OF THE UNIVERSE

The fact is that the Language of the Universe is not English or any other “spoken” language on the planet. This is unfortunate, because it would seem our lives would be easier if we had direct verbal, speaking contact with the Divine Source. However, as it stands the Language of the Universe is one of vibration, feeling and symbolism. This is how God/Source talks to us and we can learn how to receive and decipher these communications from the Universe with some self-study and observation. There are Matrix of Consciousness transmitters and receivers going on 24/7. This is the Field. 

To start with, you have to come to the realization that the Universe is sending you (and everyone else) messages 24/7 whether you are awake or asleep. The incoming communication never stops. Source Energy is guiding you at all times - guiding you with information that comes through your physical body, through your emotions, through imagery in your mind, through your dreams, through your sixth sense (intuition), and any other way that you can be creative about receiving it. When we get an “idea” ... it isn't really ours, or “new,” it's that we are the receivers of that particular message and we have been assigned to act upon it.

This means that Source Energy / God, can converse with you through absolutely any means on Earth that your own mind can conceive of obtaining these means. Because vibration (One of the Universal Immutable Laws) is one of the tools the Universe uses to communicate. It can alter various vibrations in any way It deems necessary to catch your attention. 

This means that a song on the radio, an animal, an brief encounter at a store or coffee shop, a book or even a conversation you overhear can be a dispatch from Divine Source - a “sign” meant for you. The Greek word for "messenger" is "Angelos" which we translate in English to Angel. So, an Angel, is anything that is delivering to you a specific message ... meant for YOU. The messages never stop - so pay attention to what catches your senses, and realize this is The Divine’s way of whispering in your ear ... it's that “still small voice” that never yells to get your attention in the way that your ego does. 

The Universe delivers its messages in limitless ways. Surely you have had some sort of experience - a sign, an omen, a coincidence or even synchronicities occurring in your life. Pay close attention to time, and to the numbers as well for synchronicity. This is one of the ways in which Source communicates with you. Have you been able to receive, interpret, and understand the message(s)? These messages are usually symbolic in nature. Understanding this symbolic messaging was an entire level of the Ancient Mystery Schools Teachings thousands of years ago, taught and learned among the initiates through years of preparation and understanding.

The grades or levels of the teachings among the initiates of the Ancient Mystery Schools were designed in order to help create a healthy foundation and show how to live in a balanced, harmonious, reverent and abundant way ... regardless if there is a storm or sunshine in your life. Each level (4 levels, each taking 7 years to complete) offered a different perspective or way in which to view everyday occurrences and events. These initiates and graduates took these Inner Mystery teachings very seriously. It was Life-changing ... and for many - Life long.

Everyone among the ancient societies and Mystery Schools had to attend the first level called the Literal Level (exoteric). It was in this presentation that people learned about the nature of reality here on Earth - about vibration, energy, chakra's, auric fields, plant life, the animal kingdom and elemental life. Here they learned that everything on the planet has a vibration and how they interact as one large reflection of The Whole (holy). All is one, and one is All ... The All - God or Source.

The second level was all about understanding symbolism, because these very wise ancient peoples knew that the Absolute/Source/God was speaking to them, and through them, in a metaphorical and allegorical way at all times. Seven years of symbolic teaching. Imagine how this would change your life to instantly know and understand the symbolic meaning of every communication emanating from Source Energy.

Learning symbolism will change you life from the inside out. You will come to the realization that God / Spirit / All That Is / Source is communicating with you and the magic of your Life as a Spiritual Being will begin to understand the Language of the Universe. We are NOT a body, we HAVE a body. We are Eternal Spirit having a physical experience while we are here in this incarnation. In Truth, the body and everything else is actually IN us ... projecting outward through the light of consciousness. 

Because we as a society have not been taught this Ancient Wisdom and Symbolism from birth, one of the easiest way for us now to learn the Language of the Universe is through dream interpretation, meditation, and contemplative prayer. Our minds already accept that we dream in a symbolic manner, so it is easy to slip into the translation of waking times symbolic events and signs, by first becoming aware of dream symbols and their meanings. The Mind knows no difference between what is “real” and what is a “dream.” The experience is the same to the Mind. After all, our entire life is experiences in our heads. This is where all of our sensory systems operate. Therefore, we can never personally experience anything outside of the inside of our Mind and brain. 

Knowing the symbols is part of the ancient Mystery School Teachings that you can use as a tool to begin to see the deeper meaning behind everything in Life. Understanding how Source/God/Consciousness is touching your life everyday is an eye-opening and humbling experience. 

In the days of old, there were two presentations of spiritual Truths. One was for the masses presented as drama or passion play ... the exoteric literal-historical stories. These were the “Outer Mysteries.” For those who showed promise, and realized there was more to the fables, legends, and myths than just stories, they set out as initiates into the Inner Mysteries. This was where they found the hidden Truths buried beneath the stories, parables, metaphors, and allegories. The apocalypse, or revelation ... the unveiling of that which was once hidden, 

This is the buried treasure. The pearl in the oyster. The diamond in the coal. The underlying foundation of all world religions was founded on the principle that the Spark of the Almighty known for more than 10,000 years is ... the Christ. The Karest. The Sacred Fire that is planted within each and every human being that must be found, accepted, and resurrected IN THIS life ... not in the afterlife. This was the message credited to Jesus of the New Testament when he said: “The Kingdom of God/Heaven is within you.” Wake up ... there’s a brave new world inside of you.

Just a thought ...
