Celestial Peach- 23rd April 1990

Good Morning,
THE nut inside of a peach holds tremendous qualities concentrated within. The essence of that peach, so to speak, is there in that nut. 

During the peach's growth when on the tree, the nut itself goes through remarkable changes and does not resemble the nut found once the fruit has been picked and broken open. If one could see through the skin and the flesh, through to the nut whilst the connection on the tree is intact, one could perceive distinct differences in the outer shell and its appearance, and in hardness and actual weight.

A nut is a nut it is to be argued and how can it be so? In fact the very process of interference with the peach can bring on sudden transformation. This follows with all stone fruit.
Imagine a heart within the fruit radiating a brilliant light from within, a reflection almost of the sun without, permeating the flesh of the fruit - the fruit is picked, plucked and pried apart, the light instantly dispels.

This applies also to seeds of citrus and of apple etc.
It is with this picture that we bring to you Adam, who breaks open his apple. The sacrifice of the vital light within is discharged from that fruit; it has gone and has been released by this act of desecration - and the significance is great because it was consumed by Adam. This one event was the beginning act that started the chain of consequence that brought interference with Paradise and the sacrifice of one for another. That Adam should interrupt this perfect force contained, and take it unto himself, for himself. . . and so it started.

And the birds would then take for themselves and spoil the fruit, and the trees would flame with their treasures plundered. And the animals did turn upon each other, and take from each other the God-given life bestowed.

So it was that through ignorance and curiosity, the treasures of Heaven were lost in the very method of seeking, before the act was completed. This is a lesson that is still to be learned, as men in their impulses would reach out and tear open the nightingale to find from whence the music comes.


This is the original sin and this sin stems from a spiritual blindness. We truly seek what we know in our cosmic memory to have experienced, and that our soul knows to be there: the spirit in all life. But because of this blindness by which humanity is now struck, the urge and the impulse to find and discover it anew is continually deceased by crude ways of inquiry.

They would even tear apart our Lord in order to find the God within.

And of course these methods (if they can be called as such) are not only destructive but unnecessary.

Diametrics- 22nd April 1990

DIAMETRICS (not to be confused with the perversion of) is an exact science that holds formulas for thought and answers to problems set. The early game-masters were proficient in the art of Diametrics and applied such formulation to enhance the symbols and signs of intuitive instruction- much like the dice, cards, constellations and so forth.

All thought and perception thereof is fragmented. 



Perspectives and pictures as a whole, are to be regarded as a whole. Any question holds a solution in the total diameter; of which the question forms but a part. Essentially of course, one eventuates back to the question.

The castle has many rooms. We want to know in which room we must go in order to locate the kitchen. To find the kitchen we first envisage the whole castle. How many doors lead into and out of the castle? Suppose there are four. We have observed that the carts carrying supplies of food only enter through one door: which will lead us to the kitchen. We wish to know how to extract the yolk of an egg without breaking the shell, nor removing the white. Simple! Wait for the chick to be born of itself.

Addictive Personalities- 1990


Look not to addiction, but to addictive personalities. Such shackles of obsessive repetition are the beast's desire for the tedious. Freedom is painful to the beast, essential for the spirit. There is a constant conflict between the two - the illustration of the two-headed llama is apt.

The beast adores surrender to its nature. Higher nature works towards subservience to man, knowing inwardly that its future will is bound to that kingdom. But when man has not the power of will to guide the animal within, the beings of repetition bound closely to sub-physical desires and gratifications, sway the undiscerning into such obedience.

The Icon Gateway- 1st April 1990


MANY an icon becomes a portable doorway for the devoted and their devotions to enter through such, with prayers and communion to the beloved Helpers. With intent and fixation these primitive depictions become meditative foci for all those who approach such doorways and windows. 

Before we may enter a house we need a door to pass through. Consolidation as such provides such an entry. The aspiring have given much importance to holy objects and depictions that become endowed with a powerful impress, and transformed with golden auric glow - such as the crowning halo.

Calling on Heaven is far more desirable to fixing one's thoughts on the woes of the world. Which of the two is the permanent reality? Which sustains?

Meditations are enriching to the soul and conveyances for the travel of divine contemplation are to be regarded. Beauty and sanctuary were once the offerings of the temples and churches of worship and the healthy basis of enriched thought.

We do not suggest gaudiness to replace tastefulness, but if a house of worship is to be set aside for such a purpose, one could work on an environ that best rejoices in the fantastic representations of the glory of the higher worlds.
