Which Cannot Be Found

"You long for Unity in a world of duality, for Freedom in a world of limitation and for Eternity in a world of temporality. How is that possible? How can we, who are completely made up of the elements of this life-field, long for something that absolutely cannot be found here?"

It is strange that we do not ask this question more often. Why do we persist in longing for Unity, Freedom and Eternity in this fallen nature-order, when it has to be clear that these things are not obtainable here? We persist because there is something deep within us that yearns for these things, not as relative values but as Absolutes.

Within each human heart there is an 'Other One' that is marooned and exiled on this planet. It is this Other One that longs for a return to the Divine Kingdom, the static realm, the Realm of Absolutes. We hear its faint cry and sense the sincerity of its longing but because we are bound to the things of the earth, we misinterpret its meaning. Believing that this plaintive cry originates from the personality, we then go forth into this fallen nature-order and attempt to find those things which cannot be found here. Needless to say, we meet with naught but imitation, failure and frustration.

It is only when we embark upon the gnostic Path of Return that we will be able to clearly hear this Still, Small Voice of longing. For that Path will reestablish our link with the Divine and re-open the ancient channels of communication. It is only then that we will truly realize where Unity, Freedom and Eternity are to be found.

Armed with this Inner Knowing, this Gnosis, we will then trim our sails, adjust our rudder and set our course for the Divine Realm, the Sixth Cosmic Domain, the Realm of Absolutes.

Impossibly Possible

"The Impossible is Possible because nothing is stronger than the power of the human Heart. What the Heart desires, it draws unto itself, despite apparent limitation and opposition, right through astral fields, through Worlds, even. What it attracts is Nourishment. 

One who desires the Impossible, attracts the Impossible."

Strive On

"Strive on, ... secure in the knowledge that only your body is mortal and that your true Self endures forever. The man you appear to be is not yourself at all, for your real Self is not that corporeal, palpable, changing form you see, but the Spirit inside.

Remember that you are a god, you have a god's potential for life, sensation, memory, and foresight, a god's power to rule, to govern, and to direct the body which is given to you as a servant, in the same way that God, who reigns over us, directs the entire universe. This sovereignty exercised by the eternal God over the universe is mirrored by the sovereignty your immortal Soul exercises over your frail body."

Cicero, The Dream of Scipio from On The Republic, Book VI

Tomb or Temple?

The personality, with its four vehicles (the physical, etheric, emotional and mental bodies) can be either a tomb or a temple.

It can be a tomb when the human-being does nothing to awaken the Divine nucleus that sleeps within the center of the microcosm. The Divine part of the human-being lies buried, unable to express itself in ths nature-order.

It can be, and should be, a temple when the human-being recognizes that he must awaken this Spark of Infinity if he/she wants to take up his/her cross and walk the liberating gnostic Path of Return. Then the personality provides a refuge for the Divine Atom. The personality will nourish and protect the fledgling spark of Light as it matures in its duty to purify the microcosm. Which is as it should be. 

Man was given a temporary body for the very special purpose of freeing the Divine nucleus within us. If we are not attending to that duty, then we have turned our Temple into a Tomb.
