Living the Dream- 20th September 2024

Henry Justice Ford

From the Artist’s perspective everything is light, shade and colour.

From the Musician’s perspective everything is note, chord, range, rhythm and harmony.

From the Chemist’s perspective everything is element, phase, combining and combustion.

From the Engineer’s perspective everything is fixed or not fixed, stable, volatile, spacial and critical.

From the Priest’s perspective everything is virtuous or sinful, evil or god like, Christ-like, humble.

From the Gardener’s perspective everything is seasonal, thriving, or withering, abounding and alive.

From the Surgeon’s perspective everything is vapid, with responsibility and gravity, precise, heroic or futile.

From the Performer’s perspective everything is charming, persuasive, creative, laborious, other-worldly, rewarding.

From the child’s perspective everything is sunlit, grace-full, certain, unpredictable, entertaining, humorous, lit with love, warm with love, contained with love and content with love.

The scaffolding and bearings one must utilise in order to catch a thought, to interpret a fact, be able to reason, or perceive and interpret an event, requires a subset of facilities that vary from person to person.

This explains in part why the people who stood on a beach during a tsunami and watched transfixed whilst the wave pulled out, were waiting then for the wave to come back being unaware of any danger.

Reasoning is not merely a two part process. It is far more than receiving just a thought going backwards and forth - it is the handling of that very thought or reality utilising many measures of reference.

And the skills become faster throughout one’s life in forming these patterns of reasoning that will become foundational to later thinking.

The aforementioned occupations/characters did not create themselves - it is the individual who finds his suited path and nestles there.

The noviciate sees the world as temporal, and for this reason is not enamoured with material prospects but is rather aloof to acquisitiveness; he is prideful only with gratitude and never self-congratulatory.

The noviciate is far seeing - although present in the moment also. He can perceive the tides rise and fall - and in this he becomes a seer walking alongside the Divine.

Holiness is first and foremost his creed; and humour, gentle humour, his joy.

Everlasting- 9th September 2024

Our lives are annotated, yet there in the margins are the observations also of one’s higher consciousness watching on: living a parallel existence, attuned to cosmic reasoning, beyond the timely concerns.

Our higher beings are one and the same with that of our own ego - our travelling spirit - however, it is the super-consciousness as it were, which presides within both worlds.

It conveys the maturity of countless eons, it is not confined to the earthly limitations - and it is us in total, not in part.

This is no separate being but the accumulative wisdom and the inherent godly Trust - the bank of spiritual knowing - and through Christ and His realm it also shares the truest knowledge of Humanity - from particle to globe - the ‘insights’ are without end - in glory, in splendour, in the most fascinating endeavour.

And why not live in this higher mindset all of the time?

During sleep our daily mind shall try its best to receive this higher understanding, especially if there is a question for which it is needed … however throughout the waking day we participate in limited and particular views in order to strive for a substantiality - making manifest a thought, a word, and a connection.

For the cosmic dance is so wonderful, yet the connections in the spiritual worlds are somewhat frivolous - for in a world of lights it is unusual to be able to find a single light - just as in a forest of trees it is hard to find that one particular tree, and when looking at the ocean it is hard to grasp that one drop of water amongst it. Further to these analogies is the sky itself with clouds in motion - as elusive as this is also.

Just so we may define our relationships and ourselves with an intense purpose and significant clasp that will carry over, bringing a clarity into our afterlife - bringing yet more of a different gnosis that has now been clarified in love.

And this may be to garden, to study, to farm, to care for a domestic pet; wherever there is a living love throughout one’s earthly life, there is this divine carryover that shall remain in the psyche of the soul.

And in this we give much happiness to Christ Himself, who as the Father, lives with the joy of His children prospering.

In this our loving living connections give us pathways to reunite going forward - wherever we may be.

Love everlasting: love here in the world and you have made this particular to the findings of future grace.

And in this we also find ourselves even as a drop of water, as puff in sky, we shall become recognisable now to others and to ourselves.

It is with love we are formed, we become, and live on.

Biblical Times & the Great Revelation- Sunday 25th August 2024

Incredulity is the very first beginning to new thought. You may catch the flash of realization as it passes sometimes all too quickly - across the mind conflicting an old thought, and there it is! The new knowledge revealed, alive and obvious, once seen to then be always seen thereafter - the true illumination … for this 'special delivery' is the hallmark of divine precepts and inspired knowledge from a higher reality than ourselves.

And the testimony of the Scriptures was often the gift of this: accounts given from souls who were so 'touched' by God, often leading up to a physical peril, many who would transverse their life's plan midway and depart into new lands, communities and objectives.

The call of the Spiritual worlds, the awakening to its dual carriage upon the Earth, gave the noviciate and the Master, the confidence to follow an entirely different plan - one that succeeded all else.

Baptism has tried to effect this makeover -remonstrating such as it was in that Holy event of the awakening and the melding of the dual pathway as then was known.

Every soul one way or another comes to this experience - if not within their life's design it shall happen just prior to death. And, with this, the conscious mind becomes enlightened, awakened, stirred, contested, readjusted, inspired, re-attuned, realigned with the rapture of this duality.

Spiritual vision and esoteric insights, offer the individual a greater peace both inwardly and outwardly - in revelation revealing the majesty of higher laws as they manifest succinctly within this otherwise indeterminable sphere.

And, for the man or woman who has not yet found his feet upon this path, there is a confusion trying to knit reason with purpose and outcome.

The World itself, by itself, would be unholy and most certainly unjust. And to many this opinion gives them motivation for living as they might, without care to cause or empathy for others.

One cannot effect this ‘revealing' with or for another; not by will or allure, picture book or even humour. However, if one offers an invitation or challenge for them to pray in in earnest - just the once - they can very very possibly, as key in lock, as light on life, as a call in the darkness, as deep memory in the soul, and as the yet unfound pearl, experience prayer to be the very catalyst into their new life going forward.

Hallelujah!

Is Barbarism Natural?- 8th July 2024

Rudolf Schlichter

It is assumed that individuals in the far past behaved as cavemen-hunters or violent tribesmen. And when we view aggressive peoples in this world today it is often thought that they may hold some evolutionary deficit, and that furthermore it will only be a matter of time for them to be able to ‘catch up’ to a more civilised way of life.

There are particular pools of races and religion which attract fanatics in the true sense, and then those who are impartial to all but themselves.

Often (but not always) the more violent the culture, one finds that their reasoning within that culture is limited, and the physical bodies are strong and robust; and looking further you can appreciate that the members of such groups (tribal, religious, even violent gangs/sports/cartels etc) also tend to be remarkably disciplined and adept at what they do … whereupon rituals are consciously, deliberately, and thoroughly adhered to and the dictates they have been born into are dutifully followed.

Added to this the men, and sometimes the women, can be strict to the point of cruelty, and their worldview is generally narrow i. e. with little or no appreciation for cultures outside of their own.

All of what has just been said, and is about to be said, should not be taken out of context, or used to depict every single soul who is caught up in such a narrowness - an evolutionary decline … and our sympathy and compassion simply increases because of our knowledge, fuelling neither disdain or blanket judgement thereof.

Returning to the point: barbarism denotes decline, and not a lack of evolutionary experience.

Violent traits within an individual, race or religion, occur from poor character and evil behaviour - they do not arise naturally from naive unevolved souls.

In early evolution the men and women were childlike in their consciousness and sweetness abounded.

The closer one is to the heavenly consciousness the more beauty and profoundly sweet is the soul.

However, it can happen within the world that there are those who have chosen selfishness, corruption, murder, deceit and basically speaking, the way of the devil, betraying one another and humanity, choosing the path of death - and they are compelled by natural law to be reborn into a worldly hell of a community of like-minded individuals who similarly have lived and have now become as they are.

You see former times of this globe and earlier still have had golden ages of enlightenment whereupon the intellectual life and spiritual insights far exceeded what it is we have today - however the smog of evility descended upon the whole and it is the mission of the individual to help rouse the living world to what it once was - and by Christ, with Christ, through Christ, all this is possible.
