All is sound

Ask yourself "Why would an advanced species begin with primitive tools?"

If you were to rear a wild unruly race would it not be necessary to be firm and strong?

The Divine is loving and patient and it is by the grace of the Divine that we are not extinct.

Here is your cheese oh mouse!

Will you eat it?

Will you share it with the other mice?

Is it actually rat poison??

Its referring to secret languages as a method to greater wisdom, and whether or not to believe a mystic as being authentic or no. First one needs learn the symbols of things and just finding the proper lesson on that in itself is hard, for not all agree on it. Then you need to learn this language and then you need to interpret the mystical literature of the authors that are around and THEN you need to decide if what their wisdom is professing is actually the truth or not.

In other words I am a mouse foraging for cheese. I find some and Im unsure if it is food or poison, and whether I ought to eat it before giving it to my family or what to do.

Thanks for explianing mskied

Makes me think of my dreams at times...I can always tell by the way they "feel" if it is a preminitory, or a dream that holds a message per se...I've had enough of them, that I've come to recognize them...

non conformity breeds unique perspective and the result is abundant creativity.

Unique creativity is paramount in the designing of the manifest world.

It is also a key to immortality.

What use would there be to an omniscient being for one who is alike another? Certainly we all are bound for something better after this world passes from our grasp, but what could be better than to transcend this world and enter into the next as a master of this one?

The first thought is Divine

The second thought is therefor semi divine, unless you believe that man is Divine as well, then it is as Divine as the first and so forth and so on.

Im learning to focus on the first thought and filter it through my lens, while at the same time building myself a better lens.

I wanted to post here that I am pretty convinced that someone is listening to my ideas, and always has been. I also think that in the grand scheme of things, should we be so inclined as to pursue a form of excellence in one thing or other, that they listen.

Ive been practicing a form of communion that began as what they term "Divine Muttering" and has evolved based upon the concepts with which I am displaying my understanding to them.

From this I say go ahead and talk aloud, talk to God, and talk to yourself.

Also I say to think on things Divine if you really want to find understanding and be part of creation.

Right now I am deliberating upon the story of Judaism, the influence of Egypt and Greece and Rome, and a tiny bit of Buddhism.

What I recognized earlier within myself is that I expect from others a certain form of treatment and when I do not receive that treatment I harbor some resentment. I applied this to the concept of God in way of Gods Laws and Gods judgement and bestowing blessings upon us. I wouldnt dare to say that there is a resentment, but what I recognized is that should God put forth his efforts in something and we fail to accomplish it, then why should we receive anything? I think a lot of us live in an illusion perspective that God forgives and God is love- which is true- but that doesn't excuse bad behavior. So then people think "I am good, therefor I ought to receive- and they secretly harbor some sort of resentment towards God for not receiving.

I think on the Greeks who offered things, and other religious peoples who made offerings in an attempt to find blessings, and I recall reading something Paul wrote which is "Who here looks for God?" also, Jesus said do not be like the pharisees who think that works alone are the key to salvation. Be who God wants you to be is the underlying message here, but the question on everyone's lips is: "Who does God want me to be?" The answer is to be yourself. To accept others for who they are, and speak up for yourself. Too often we compromise our integrity for the sake of companionship.

Im deliberating on the Fall of man and the nature of the Divine and I have a few ideas that are abstract right now, but I realize that we live in a state- call it fallen or not, it is here and we cannot pray our way to redemption nor can we do things just to prove that we are good. We have to follow Dharma and live according to what we have been given in way of our situation, and examine the wisdom that has been given, and the understanding of life and liberty and all the things goodly. A life unlived and a soul untested by the labors of living and making right decisions in my humble opinion, not the answer. In a sense life then is a test we are taking, but it is also an opportunity to create something new. Im deliberating also on what religion I should apply myself to, for I have been shown a few things that appear to contradict. On one hand I recognize I have been shown Judaism is the foundation which most religions are based and on the other I have been directed towards Thelema, which incorporates elements of the Kabbalah. Meanwhile I am contemplating the activity and purpose of these two formats of religion. Ive concluded that we live in a wheel of evolution from a spiritual perspective- something in the way of reincarnation. I also realize that it would be possible to exit the wheel and ride the chariot, or so it would seem. I am stuck wondering whether to allow the wheel to take me or to take the reigns, so to speak.

The question then would be; who are you and how would you react to power? I believe I am going through a form of refinement and revelation but do not have access to my soul, only my mind. The question is; what happens to my mind should I become my soul? Would I have awareness that I earned in contemplation or would I return to the wheel in a more favorable position, only to endure this transition and contemplation again? I am not perfect now, and I may be made more "perfect" later- but part of me wonders if I am indeed perfect as is and ought to be allowed to leave the wheel. And do I even want to leave it? Where then would I wind up, if not in an other wheel?

I say live life and educate yourself with what interests you. Apply what you read and what you see to what you know and how you act, and in that way you will be a valuable person, so long as you always remember to elevate your thoughts to the highest good, whatever that may be to you as you understand it.
