Lift Up Thine Eyes

The great sorrow of mankind's current state is that so many humans believe that they are 'nothing', 'worthless', 'useless'. These thoughts and feelings arise and take hold due to the human entity accepting his external world as the measuring stick by which he should judge himself.

If we measure ourselves against the standards of this sick and polluted world, most of us will always come up short. We are not rich, nor famous, nor influential. We are not gorgeous, or charismatic or quick-witted. Of what use are we to the world, then? We are simply taking up space in the world, we serve no purpose. "I hate myself!". "I am nothing!", "I wish I were dead!".

Unfortunately, many millions have these thoughts and feelings several times a day, every day. It is sign of illness, an illness which stems from lack of True Knowledge. If only these ones knew how valuable and priceless they are! If only they could be made aware of the important and glorious mission they incarnated to accomplish! If only they could see that permanent freedom from the suffering and misery of this world is within their grasp, so close, nearer than hands and feet! If only they knew that Immortality is calling them, has been calling them, from ages past right up until the present. If only they could be made to realize that their suffering is due to the fact that they have refused to heed The Call. We are not worthless. We are priceless and carry within our hearts a Treasure worth more than all the gold in the universe!

Ignorance of this fact will cause their suffering to continue until they finally tire of trying to make a 'paradise' out of this temporary, dualistic, emergency-order of existence. At that point, when they are at their lowest, when despair and pain are hanging over them as a shroud, they must not look to do away with themselves, or bring harm to others. It is then that the heart is most susceptible to The Call. It is then that many will cry out "What will Thou have me do?". This is when the human entity must stop thinking of itself, of its wants, its needs, its desires, its ambitions, its appetites, its goals, its sorrows, its disappointments. It must sweep everything that is of this material-sphere to the side and realize "There is no home for me here in this world. Where am I to go? What is my purpose here?".

At that point, this yearning sends forth a cry from the heart. This Cry for Deliverance is always answered. The soul should be stilled, so that the heart can listen for the Response. It cannot be heard by human ears, nor its vibration sensed externally. But the heart will receive it and the Rose will be touched. The spark will be kindled and the Rose will begin to bloom.

When the human entity is thoroughly and completely through with the material-sphere, when it is absolutely done with the glamour and illusion of duality, the rose of the heart can be touched by the Gnosis.

The Great Work can begin.

"I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help" Psalm 121.1
