Trisgmegistus. The Kybalion
Most, if not all people, live Life in the Sub-conscious Plane in that they
are unable to exercise a clearly defined "will" which gives direction to the
powerful sub-conscious Mind. In this awareness can a person accomplish
greater things as the lower nature of that person becomes subservient to
his or her will. The sub-conscious Mind is the aspect of Mind with all the
power but is unable to exercise a focus without the direction of the will of
Conscious Mind. When a clearly defined "will" is not exercised, the
person mirrors the wandering sub-conscious Mind that lacks purpose
and direction in Life and they wander through Life much like the
creatures of the Animal Plane who react only on instinct and impulse.
These two aspects of conscious and subconscious Mind cannot be
separated for one cannot be without the other in order to function
properly. The awareness and acquisition of esoteric Arcane Wisdom and
Knowledge will enable an individual to find the mental tools within
themselves and enables them to exercise a strong will not easily swayed
by deception. Arcane Knowledge and Wisdom does not need to be a
secret or an unreachable Knowledge. It is only hidden from a person
because of a narrow bandwidth of awareness and unbelief that such a
thing exists.
Spiritual Knowledge will give us the mental tools that are needed to
properly negotiate through Life. Arcane Spiritual Knowledge is
universal in nature and is not the same as the rigid self imposed religious
believes that hold no substance in reality. In other words, sitting in
church, synagogue, or temple every Sunday is of no significance when no
Spiritual growth is accomplished to aide in the progress of the individual.
It would be wise to avoid fanatical religious rhetoric that are only capable
of using their literature for reference and have no unique self expression
or reference regarding the reality of SPIRIT. It is this fanaticism that has
caused the religious stigma that exists followed by war and violence -humans against humans. The true meaning of "religion," and "piety"
has been lost through the ages. To many people the word "religion"
would cause them to cringe and turn away because many religious
believes are not worthy of the name "religion." Religion in its true
meaning means to comply and adhere to the LAW of the Universe and is
administered by INFINITE LIVING MIND, or SPIRIT that pervades all
of Universal Space and Time. We are free to choose what we wish; good
or evil, positive or negative, life or death, knowledge or ignorance without
any interference of The SPIRIT. It must be remembered, however, that
there are responsibilities and consequences that will follow according to
the choices. A person can experience a tranquil life full of Knowledge
and peace, while another will experience a veritable hell in their ignorant
life of which each bears the responsibility of their choices. THE LAW of
SPIRIT is unconditional and is no respecter of persons, governments,
nation, race, or skin color; all owe their existence and lives to SPIRIT
that also cause change according to their behavior in Life. That which
does not adhere to UNIVERSAL LAW becomes dissolved and removed.
Don't believe it? Look at man's history with all its violence and wars and
attempted control of one race to another.... where are they? They have
become as "nothing," as they rest seemingly peacefully in their graves
taking their evil ambitions with them....
If the mathematician does not abide by the laws and rules of
mathematics, which are Universal in Nature, he or she would be
overcome with frustration and dismay only because they are unable to
negotiate the equations that are ruled by firmly established laws of
multiplication, division, addition, and subtraction. It is NOT based on
"belief" but actual Knowledge and Understanding of LAW. And so it is
with SPIRIT and the human Mind. If our Minds are not utilized in the
awareness of Universal Cosmic Law, the result would be a variety of
questions about the meaning of Life and a possible dysfunction because of
stress that can cause mental illness in varying degrees, up to and
including domestic violence, war and murder. It would also stymie the
technological advances that would otherwise be possible and are
accomplished in a shorter time. Spiritual Development is a subject that
cannot be avoided. It is the very core of our nature and is an aspect of
the Great Mental Plane that we all share together. An understanding of
its functions and causation enables the proper mental interaction between
us in our relationships. It is one of the most important regions of Mind,
specially in the intimate connection of our relationships. The Great
Mental Plane is unconditional and non-material in nature and can only
be perceived through the Intuitive Mind that is without exception present
in all of us. The evidence is overwhelming to the careful observing Mind.
It is important that you think, and experience it for yourself without any
outside interference of the disagreeing and warring "belief systems" of
the world. When you discover this quiet place within yourself, then have
you found the secret place of "THE ALL" who can only be in the "now"
of your being. You will discover what "meditation" means in the true
sense of the word. Just you and THE ALL.... or GOD if you prefer. You
will discover that you cannot escape its absolute presence. No longer do
you live your Life based on "beliefs" but rather a "Knowledge" that
brings mental firmness, stability, poise, and control of your own self
without being swayed by the opinions of others which maybe stronger
than your own including world opinion. Always remain flexible in your
own thinking. Maintain open mindedness which is important in Spiritual
progress. Fear will shut the Mind and our lives becomes stuck on the
banks of the river of Life. Go with the flow and learn to trust THE ALL.
A rigid mind is brittle and spends most of its time defending its own
opinions that can lead to "fanaticism" and is almost always
argumentative and violent in nature. Only, because this type of individual

cause for the strange and unexplained psychic phenomena for which
science does not have an answer but is on the threshold of a revelation of
this Truth. All this points in the direction that there is such a thing as a
non-material realm. The truth is, that our so called "material realm," is
a manifestation of the unseen reality of Divine Intelligence that so far has
escaped the grasp of science, at least, from an official standpoint.
Spiritual development is an un-avoidable aspect of the human mind if
that mind is to function properly. Because of the lack of true Spiritual
Knowledge, society as a whole, is very much dysfunctional. All a person
has to do is read the newspaper and watch T.V. to witness the evidence.
It will be found that the collective mindset is "death" oriented. Society as
a whole is preparing itself for death instead of LIFE. The truth is, that no
preparation is needed for death because it is an event that will occur to
those who live in this belief, prepared or not. It is the Knowledge of LIFE
and its underlying causation that requires preparation in order for the
human mind to function properly and to maintain proper behavior and
last but not least --LONGEVITY. People who focus on, and converse
with SPIRIT during meditation enjoy a disease free and longer conscious
life then those who maintain themselves on the Animal Plane of thought.
What hope do we give our children when the educational system asks
them to predict their death and what they want written on their grave
stone in their school essays? What hope are we giving them? Think
about that for a moment! Imagine the consequences that could follow. Is
it a wonder that many kids have no hope in their lives? Is it a wonder
why many of them turn to sex, drugs, and violence? They have been
taught that they are going to die anyway and their attitude is "who
cares." They are not being properly prepared to live LIFE, but to
prepare for DEATH. No preparation is needed for death because
entropy will take its course, regardless. What is needed, that our kids
and their parents prepare themselves how to live Life properly and in all
its fullness. That takes preparation! Much of this information comes
from religious "miss-information." Religions, who have a "belief" in
God but in truth have no true knowledge of its existence or how its
enormous presence sustains and affects our lives and the reality we live
in. This is an area of Life that needs to be addressed and looked at if
society is to function properly. It would require a transformation and
change in the process of human thought and how it "views" LIFE.
Spiritual development does not mean sitting in church on Sunday, but to
learn "the things that are and all that is." Other methods of individual
development may be attempted, but ultimately it will be found that
Spiritual development is an unavoidable aspect of human existence.
Spirit is the very core of human nature. Spiritual development, not in the
describe him as the paintings on the wall, but as a type of individual who
would have mid-eastern facial features. Had these people studied their
Bible, they would not have been deceived by their premature cognitive
commitments.
In my experience with the Christian church, I find that their concept of
God is based in Dualism. They separate SPIRIT from the physical world
they live in and fail to recognize the underlying Causation and Unity of
Life. They are unable to connect the teachings of their bible with the
surrounding Universe they live in which is a creation of SPIRIT in the
first place. This dualistic view of God is the reason for the many divisions
in the Christian religion and is the cause of the disagreements and
religious superstitions amongst themselves. In other words, the Christian
religion mirrors this lack of unity because of their dualistic views. This is
not unique to Christianity, but is present in the many other religions of
the world who are also lacking unity and harmony. They are unable to
accomplish unity of Mind and are making false accusations against one
another. A careful observer will witness this for themselves. If they only
open their minds and discard the rigid dogmas of their belief system and
accept change, they will allow SPIRIT to lead them of its own accord and
finally a unity of Mind is allowed. How will theologians lead people to an
understanding of God when they ask such trivial questions, for example,
"How many angels can stand on the point of a needle?" Or, that "God is
dead" as they proposed in the early sixties? What message are they
conveying to the human population?
My mind became increasingly aware to what is occurring and I decided
to leave the church and do research on my own. I was only 19 years of age
and I had much to learn. I did not let the "fear" instilling accusations of
the church stop me and I continued on my own.
Books were introduced to me by people who had more enlightenment on
the subject of spirituality than I have. Books that left a very deep
impression on me about the secrets of life. The "Life and Teaching of The
Masters of The Far East" were based on the experience of Baird Spalding
who was a member of a group of eleven researchers. They were traveling
through the Himalayas to do archeological and anthropological research
between 1894 and 1898. At the very beginning of their expedition, they
encountered "great souls," who were not of the ordinary daily stock of
people they were accustomed to seeing in every day life.
This new knowledge gave me something new to think about and raised
questions such as, Who, and what is God? Where is he? What is he
doing? Does he know me? What am I doing here? Even though, I
believed in the existence of God. The explanations of the church were not

The Watchman, a Christian group that documents

The first mistake is, that they have ascribed human
qualities to something that is so enormous in presence,
and
has
escaped
their
diminutive
human
understanding. First of all, if Jesus was to appear
before these people he would probably be crucified
once again. They speak of a man they claim to know
about it. The bible teaches that Jesus is, "The Son of
God." Furthermore, when he taught people to pray,
The Lords Prayer, the first words out of his mouth
were, "Our Father".... What is this telling us? All of us
need to think for ourselves and not listen to what
others are assuming. "Assuming" is very dangerous
even if it looks and sounds good.
The bible is not the only Truth and Spiritual
information that is available to us. There are many
good books that were written long before the Bible,
and before Christianity was even a word in the minds
of men. In fact, much of the bible has borrowed from
the Eastern religions. Jesus is well versed in the
ancient old knowledge of the Arcane Truths. There is
much more reliable knowledge and information about
our purpose in life from our distant past than is
available today. There are many modern day writers
who have echoed the lost knowledge of the long
forgotten past. However, they are few in number.
"New Age" is just another label that is used to depict a
new knowledge. The truth is, that there is nothing new
under the Sun. It is a revival of the ancient Arcane
knowledge that the Spirit is returning to us because we
have warped and twisted so much of the Truth today
that we dont even know what the Truth is anymore.
Just look around you! Do you see any evidence that
people "know" God? It is quite to the contrary. That
does not preclude the fact that the Infinite is busily
about His Creation.

has true Spiritual knowledge, all you have to do is
