Applied Truth Directly

Quit ignoring sin. Mathew 16:23 “But he turned, and said unto Peter, Get thee behind me, Satan: thou art an offence unto me: for thou savourest not the things that be of God, but those that be of men.” What has Jesus revealed in your life lately? Are you only honest when you get caught? Romans 17:20 “For we know that the law is spiritual: but I am carnal, sold under sin. For that which I do I allow not: for what I would, that do I not; but what I hate, that do I. If then I do that which I would not, I consent unto the law that it is good. Now then it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me. For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not. For the good that I would I do not: but the evil which I would not, that I do. Now if I do that I would not, it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me.” James 1:21 “Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness, and receive with meekness the engrafted word, which is able to save your souls.” The church leaders today (Shepard’s) only talk to their flock and don’t tend to it. Mathew 5:13-16 “Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men. Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid. Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.” Are you born again lazy? 1 John 3:18 “My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth.” Proverbs 28:13 “He that covereth his sins shall not prosper: but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy.” Have honesty among your fellow men and women. Proverbs 28:23 “He that rebuketh a man afterwards shall find more favour than he that flattereth with the tongue.” James 5:20 “Let him know, that he which converteth the sinner from the error of his way shall save a soul from death, and shall hide a multitude of sins.”

Intuition

Intuition is a psychic faculty that captures information without using your traditional 5 senses. Have you ever had that feeling that something was wrong before the event happened, "negative or positive (receive an award, got into an accident)?", well that is intuition. Before an event materializes here in the physical it often happens first in the higher dimensions. We have a spiritual part that is located in the higher dimensions where the information reaches us. When this faculty is working for us, we can be forewarned of various types of events (negative or positive). When we have these 'intuitive hunches' we usually end up trying to mentally figure things out and reasoning stops the intuitive hunch. In the astral world dreams and symbols interpretations are done with this marvelous sense. Even though it may not make sense in your mind you can intuitively capture its deep meaning. To gradually learn to interpret symbols and dreams, this information will be extremely useful for someone’s search within – a great book to read is Samael Aun Weor’s Dream Yoga: Writings on Dreams and Astral Travel published by Thelma Press.

Two best ways to increase intuition:
1. Act upon your current intuitive hunches and you will start to recognize more
2. The mantra "O"

Fear

Fear is neglected energy. Neglected fear turns into resentment. Cause of fear is not knowing, the more understanding the less one fears. Fear happens when your projected reality differs from your current reality.

The Secret Teachings - Candle

A while back when staring at a candle my thoughts wandered too -

The secret teachings is like a candle wick. The exoteric the wax, which is the garment. If enough people light wick the wax melts and the garment comes off.

// The candle excercise, it is always good to revisit the basics //

Personal Mission

To leave a positive memory for my family and friends. To do more for others than was done for me. Love without limits or requirements. To leave everything I touch better then it was before. To be a signpost and point to the way. To guide others out of their suffering. This is to have lived…

sanity

Some say I've lost my sanity, really I just threw it away.

from The Pistis Sophia Unveiled

"Virtue comes from the syllable vir, virility. The precious gems of virtues are obtained only with virility. Sexual virility, sexual potency is necessary to obtain virtues in the Flaming Forge of Vulcan. Each time that a psychic aggregate is dissolved a precious virtue emerges in ourselves."

Emerald Tablet

Many of you have seen the movie The Secret. Books and movies have been written and lives transformed with the information written on a small tablet. In the comments I will give the other translations of the tablet. The common translation is:

"The Emerald Tablet

Truly, without deceit, certain, and most veritable.

That which is Below corresponds to that which is Above,
and that which is Above corresponds to that which is Below
to accomplish the miracles of the One Thing.
And just as all things come from this One Thing
through the meditation of One Mind,
so do all created things originate from this One Thing
through Transformation.

Its father is the Sun;
Its mother the Moon.
The Wind carries it in its belly.
Its nurse is the Earth.
It is the origin of all,
The consecration of the Universe.
Its inherent Strength is perfected,
If it is turned into Earth.

Separate the Earth from Heaven,
The Subtle from the Gross,
Gently and with great ingenuity.
It rises from Earth to Heaven
And descends again to Earth,
Thereby combining within its
The powers of both the Above and the Below.

Thus will you obtain the Glory of the Whole Universe.
All Obscurity will be clear to you.
This is the greatest Force all powers,
Because it overcomes every Subtle thing
and penetrates every Solid thing.

In this way was the Universe created.
From this will come many wondrous Applications,
because this is the Pattern.

Therefore am I called Thrice Greatest Hermes, having all three parts of the wisdom of the Whole Universe. HereIn have I completely explained the Operation of the Sun."

History of the Emerald Tablet: Molded out of a single piece of green crystal, the Emerald Tablet carries a prophetic message full of hidden meaning. Although its true origin is lost in legends that go back over 10,000 years, the wondrous artifact was translated into Greek by Alexandrian scholars and actually put on display in Egypt in 330 BC. Around the year 400 AD, it was reportedly buried somewhere on the Giza plateau to protect it from religious zealots who were burning libraries around the world at that time. Many believe the tablet still lies hidden there. This tablet has inspired over 3,500 years of alchemy a period in which some of the most creative minds in the world delved into the intertwined mysteries of matter, energy, soul, and spirit. Most medieval alchemists had copies of the tablet hanging on their laboratory wall. Working only with these early translations, many seekers of truth recognized in subsequent centuries that the Emerald Tablet contained a secret formula for transforming reality.

The Observer

Seen you fight with him on his dreams of success,
Heard you neutralize his desires.
Heard you say your not good enough,
Then reaffirm with pride you can have her.
Watching waiting to see who wins this war.
You have infilitrated your legion upon him,
eventually my master will have me take action -
for only his wills sake, observering continues!

Truth

Truth The great contradiction,
Yet never contradicts
Can be seen in all things,
Can you name one thing,
That encompasses it all?
It is something that can be found,
The greatest treasure of the wise
Through the process of elimination you can come to it
By elimination you will only touch the surface
It is not a thought, object or a desire,
Truth can be found in all of these
Yet it is not either one of these,
Truth stands on its own
You can find it in all things,
Truth is never there when your not
Truth is always there even when your not
The void prior to the manifestation,
The action of the perfect deed
The great verifier, Perfect accuracy,
The seen, The unseen
To all truth is an unknown illusion,
Working right beside them daily
All these contradictions above can be eliminated by what truth really is: Simplicity (simple isn't it?) © Mike Ridpath

International Language

Energy of any thought or form
automatic since we were born
united by all, no race can hide
positives and negatives deep inside
all great things come of me
persuasion of me is why we disagree
wars and marriage and divorce
roars and disparage of force
every decision we can envision
poetic incision graffiti derision
listened to and sold
all smiles we hold
reasons for change, heart feels strange
commitment we exchange, lives rearrange
Peace and freedom come of me
when we die used by your family
words can't describe yet we all try
put into metaphors what am I?
