The Mystery of the Gobi - Introduction

"The things that man knows can in no way be compared, numerically speaking, with the things that are unknown" -- Chuang

[QUOTING]

Indeed, human knowledge is very limited in comparison with what ought to be known. There are so many mysteries in the cosmos and microcosmos and the Logos shows us in a vast number of impenetrable phenomena that no one can be blamed for the fact that human understanding remains far behind the Universal Reality.

This situation is actually quite serious, for the Logos does not scatter its Universal Knowledge over the world unintelligently and at random. Every divine revelation is based entirely on necessity and absolute reason. The knowledge that has been lost is therefore an accusation against mankind, confronting us, from time to time, with very disagreeable consequences, and bringing mankind into humiliating situations.

Consequently, you may well understand the periodical attempts of the Spiritual School to lead at least a part of mankind back to the original basis of necessity and absolute reason, in order to evoke a reaction which is is in harmony with divine requirements. It is in this light that you should consider this discussion.

It is not our intention simply to speak about the Gobi desert in an interesting way. It is our task to inform you about things which are bound to come soon and which must not find you unprepared.

It is our innermost desire that with us, you will be able to testify of the happy time when there will be revealed not only a part of the world hitherto unknown and hidden, but also many wonderful works and creatures of the Original nature that have never been seen before, making us realize why we are called microcosm and how far our knowledge of the Original nature and of God can extend. For the majority, our time is alarming because  of the turmoil of social, political and economic events. For only a few, our era is an alarming and breathtaking prelude to a cosmic revolution which will be effected not only from above, but also from below.

In order to understand everything connected with this, we will need to approach the mystery of the Gobi desert. The unveiling which this will involve should not be seen as a desecration, but rather, as a ripening of the time and as a Fama Fraternitatis for all those who have ears to hear and eyes to see.
