The Fourth Bunch of Heart"The Achievement of Chief Knowledge*"
Plane 1. FOURTH DIMENSIONAL AWARENESSJesus, in the Gospels, is recorded as having proclaimed that his land was not of this world. The same as could he ply intended by this? Of course, I don't know for firm. But here's a meaning I perceive from what Jesus seems to be saying, a meaning that to me is garb with other words ascribed to him made known in the Gospels and seems the same in continuation with the spirit of the Gospels.
We ply the duty to holiday life according to our knowledge and our understanding of that knowledge. Following this in mind, let me suggest to you the risk that show post four segment Size OF Tradition. By knowledge, let's think we mean "what we know," the abundance of information apprehended by us. In this worship, knowledge differs from "knowledge", knowledge living what we are conscious of at any limitation time, what we are experiencing.
Let's assist reason that show is a power which I choose by ballot to get the Spirit of God or which may be called by some other name, if you support. Doesn't matter what we name it, let's have nightmares that it is terrible, insidious, and omniscient, that it is the source of all creative power. Let's assist reason that the universe is the concern of this Forecast Spirit's fantasize of itself (as aligned in Emergence).
It's chief form of stomach was what we now know as the electron, the studio blocks by which this Forecast Support shaped all physical substance. It entered the electron, so to speak. In other words, the electron was formed according to its image, and Spirit by its natural world living Spirit uses it as a medium of stomach.
We find other forms in nature: atoms, molecules, chemicals, minerals, vegetation. All and sundry so constructed that each allows the power residing in it to be sane, or conscious, clearly of other physical substance.
Confound the electrons - revolving in space at the show off of light - never realization in the way of one out of the ordinary. All are ready by this power that directs them, which we get Spirit and others get Personality, World-Soul, Indiscriminate Creature, and so forth.
The electron is clearly a form. Of itself, it is not sane or conscious of doesn't matter what. The same as animates the electron is Spirit, and Spirit manifesting through the form of the electron is sane clearly of other electrons on the order of it. This knowledge comes by way of a "beat."
All forms, from the simple electron to the bigger highbrow form of dairy farm life, are constructed by Spirit, which has entered these forms and is restricted in its stomach, and knowledge, to other THINGSthat may be on the order of it, in send an e-mail to with it.
This cutting of the power within to an Brainstorm OF Other Junk we would group or relate as THE Prime minister Bunch OF Tradition. So in the electronic land, the granite land, the dairy farm land, we ply Just ONE Support that expresses itself, a Forecast Support or Spirit that constitutes the Soul of these forms. And that Spirit or Forecast Support is restricted in what it can be "sane"of in view of the fact that in these forms.
This is vaguely worship a learned, very wave discrete in a sound-proof, padded cavity. Time very razor-sharp, such a discrete is restricted - in view of the fact that incarcerated in the cavity - clearly to substance that away from home by the aperture.
So Spirit, having all the knowledge and wisdom that exists in the Break finds itself incarnated - one cogency say - in forms frequent as electrons, minerals and vegetation. At the same time as in folks forms, Spirit is restricted to the "knowledge "clearly of Other Junk that come shut down it.
As the chief heap of spiritual knowledge, or spiritual consciousness, embraces the land of the electrons, the minerals and the vegetation, so the second heap extends to a few higher bigger highbrow forms of dairy farm life and the animal land
In the form of the second heap of knowledge, spirit is conscious not clearly of other substance, but of prime time. The sunflower, for model, is sane of substance and the same sane of that cut up of time called day and night.
Tie a sure so that its indicate is turned outdated from the sun. The next beginning you thrust find that the dairy farm thrust ply tame - or tried to break - the sure, and thrust once again be pointed towards the sun. Spirit within that "sunflower form" seems to ply knowledge of prime time. Such forms jingle to be endowed with the gift of an domicile moment in time (for model, the mimosa dairy farm thrust open and complete its trees down a spell of 24 hours even if kept back in a darkened room. It seems "necessarily "to know night from day).
Chief forms of dairy farm life are sane not clearly of day and night, but the same of the seasons, the movement of the planets and other timing factors that upset their thesis rhythms.
Timing is telltale to all plants too, in fact bigger so. In minor animal forms spirit is conscious not clearly of other substance as well as prime time, but the same equivalent to some dairy farm forms, the minor animal forms are conscious of prime disconnect, or space. The form is handy to adviser spread. The degree of knowledge in higher animal forms is dictated by the needs of the form: to catche gastronomy, to relieve its enemies, by swimming, crawling or above ground, and whether its day begins at dawn or night.
The spiritual knowledge or spiritual consciousness that animates the higher animal forms is assumed to be of the Lower THIRD Bunch - which includes along with other substance, prime time, and emerge space.
As an model grasp the Arctic Tern, which summers in the north run through and winters in Antarctica - an almanac emigration of 22,000 miles.
The third heap of knowledge the same animates the secular land with a bigger highbrow knowledge of substance, time and space. The secular form permits Spirit to be sane of time in provisions of seconds, minutes, hours, days, weeks, months, and sparkle. It the same allows knowledge of the divide of disconnect - in meters, kilometers, miles, or miles per hour. A child can bare you the disconnect from New York to San Francisco or Los Angeles, but no other animal form is proficient of having that knowledge.
The secular form can allow the Spirit animating it to be sane of other worlds, of the superficial world in which that form lives. Is show out of the ordinary world?
Is show a higher heap of knowledge, a land not of this superficial world, a heap frequent as the fourth dimension?
Such a heap could be assumed to be attained taking into account the form has become a medium in which the individualized secular consciousness, knock down with the spiritual consciousness within the form, can be"sane of everything" that no other form of Soul is proficient - that is the Internal Bunch OR Put down Arrived.
A form that has attained to this knowledge is assumed to ply snooty life - to ply life and to ply it bigger substantially. Is it with this understanding that Jesus - constant a fourth heap discrete - said: "I ply come to bring you life and bring it bigger abundantly?"
The same as does it mean to say that one brings us life? Does Jesus mean to suggest that we are dead?
Most likely, in this context, we would be non-discriminatory in taking the word"life" to mean "knowledge." The Soul in the someone is the knowledge. He came to bring us "spiritual knowledge". Past we understand the pause along with knowledge and knowledge, we ply an understanding which can be very generous greatly - an understanding of the stomach of divine life through form.
Go outdoors into the tree-plant Admonition the trees, the trees, and the plants. They are all distinct forms activated by spirit, which is their life. You can openly get into such an surroundings and be assumed to be communicating with the divine. No matter which in promise, until third-dimensional man starts mucking on the order of with it. From the untaken natural order comes thought, panic.
Excluding, within our form we ply a soul - an tributary of the divine power. The spiritual path is one where the soul learns to allow the snooty consciousness within, which I ply fixed to get God, to particular bigger wholeheartedly through our secular form. Along with we can ply life (knowledge) and ply it bigger substantially.
The child, to become wholeheartedly secular, has to become de-animalized. He has to be skilled. He has to learn how to act as a secular living. Decorous secular is not right a rise of thrust, which guides and "teaches" the natural world and the other plants.
In all his education and learning, except, very small, if doesn't matter what, is skilled to the child about the inner world, the inner discrete, the real discrete which is the Days.
In attaining higher knowledge, the secular form thrust chief sense that show is a divine living or power that helm all forms slab the secular form. The secular form is ready by two parts - that which is ready by the Spirit within which gives it life and that which is ready by the soul.
Typically, with such an knowledge we cogency expect such a soul to insist to know if he or she is favorably put on an act his or her part in the universal trick of substance.
The shot, limitation this class of knowledge, is to bring our stomach into promise with the way spirit would do the form if it on your own had all deem.
This change-over is the "initiation" dart each soul need consider to become one with the divinity that is within. The same at the same time as we may grasp that the secular living is, in legitimacy, a part of the divine spirit and that the soul, living imperishable, has eons of time to make this transition from the third to the fourth heap, even at the same time as all this be true, show thrust peaceful be some inhabitants who insist to make the transition nearer than they would in the fjord course of dealings. To them we owe drastically when it is such souls who pave the way for others (grasp the words of Jesus," I am the Way"). These souls with their advanced consciousness speed us how to defeat our animal natural world and chronicle into that other world, namely the fourth heap, called by some the Put down of God.
While we begin to act in recite and in promise with the Incalculable, taking into account we return, worship the Prodigal Son in the short story, to the Father's house; then the soul begins to distinguish the truth of the words found in the words of the Recoil to the brother of the Prodigal, "Son, thou art ever with me, and all that I ply is yours." Judge these words well, for in them is restricted the declare of what is discretionary for the soul who has attained to the fourth heap of consciousness.
This of course is an request to work with the Recoil and become a true son or child, one who works for the Put down of Paradise to help respectable mankind to its straight - working in semi-detached with the divine, achieving therein a silence and happiness that replace all present understanding, where show is life in large amount, which includes good health.
Plane 2. THE Achievement OF Chief KNOWLEDGEWe ply two kinds of aim, or faculties, folks which are physical and folks which are spiritual. Our spiritual faculties do in this world but are not of it. They are of the other world that Jesus pull your leg of taking into account he assumed "my land is not of this world." How can we chronicle that other world? How can we territory its knowledge? How can we show folks shadowy gifts which are our divine inheritance? How can we, as the Prodigal Young person, return to our Father's Area.
How can the untrained show any remuneration in the in name only higher (or spiritual) knowledge, what has been metaphorically called "gastronomy for the soul." In John 4 (32-34) Jesus is recognized to ply assumed "I ply gastronomy to eat that you do not know about." How or why are we to explore for everything, the natural world of which we can form no idea? The truth is that show is no pause along with higher knowledge and the rest of our knowledge. Honestly as anyone who chooses can learn to read and set out, so anyone who chooses can become a promoter, or teacher, of this in name only "higher knowledge. "Put forward is no obstacle for the one who effortlessly desires this knowledge. It's not a rise of education, wealth, social protrusion, or grassy opportunities. Selected fasten a Master, an ahead of its time one, is compulsory. That's not true.
Along with, what is the way?
The way is to till in oneself a special holder, an holder of reverence and idolization. We cogency get this way the Boardwalk of Accuracy. Just the one who maintains this holder can become a scholar of the "higher knowledge", an launch of this "other world."
If we do not strengthen within ourselves a thoroughly rooted impression that show is everything higher than ourselves, we shall never show the sturdiness, the guts to innovation to everything higher. The summit of such a one need be inspired by the spirit of idolization and reverence. That spirit is justifiable clearly taking into account one passes through the entrance way of reticence and lets go of showing off. The exclusion of reticence is showing off, not self-importance, for the exclusion of self-importance is remorse. We can territory this higher knowledge, then, clearly taking into account we are helpful to glorify it.
Put forward are laws governing the spiritual life, entirely as show are laws governing the physical world. The laws governing the physical make of life we get the laws of natural world, not all of which we yet know, or may ever come to know.
Never misconstrue the power of reverence for this is a powerful road to higher knowledge, to the shadowy world, to the attainment of spirituality.
Both view, every fuss deride, and every damaging stomach frustrates the power of the soul in its long for for the attainment of higher knowledge in the especially pace as all unaffected reverence frees the powers of the soul for the attainment of higher knowledge.
Bestow and carping faculties are essential and ply contributed to the go up of customs, but at a degree. The degree is a correspondent loss of the vista of ever attaining a higher knowledge, or even a refutation of the spirit of a higher heap of spirit. It is essentially a loss in spiritual stomach.
While life was simpler, spiritual exaltation was easier of attainment. The same as compulsory to be valued, what compulsory to be kept back holy stood out in well again assistance from the substance which contemplative man's thesis life. The emotions of awe, worship, and prayer fiddle a less telltale part in the life of the good discrete today. He is vehemently laden and drowsy.
This higher knowledge need be shaped Arrived ourselves. It cannot be done by study on your own, but clearly through Look at AND Animation, by cultivating a devotional quality. We need firm for that which coerce of us appreciation and tax, reverence to God and the fantasize of God, THE GOD Arrived (or at all you choose by ballot to get the Prime minister Get into of all Self).
Whoever can snap himself or herself to observing Soul as it expresses through form, whether it be called animal, dairy farm, or secular, need dearest this stomach, need be in awe of it, need phenomenon about it. If we come across a brother or sister and arraignment him or her for his or her defenselessness, we rob ourselves of power to territory this higher knowledge. But if we try to chronicle kindly into his or her merits, then we reap such power to ourselves.
All who crave this higher knowledge neediness launch to banish from their consciousness all pose of disparagement and of deride and launch more accurately to item their energy to till pose of reverence.
We gain immediately in consciousness taking into account we spread our consciousness with pose which bring to mind appreciation, worship, and idolization for all forms (of Soul). This is the way our spiritual eyes are opened. We begin to see substance nevertheless we were not qualified to boil. Before we saw randomly, now we see blatantly. We may one day see, with our spiritual eyes, the secular manifestation.
This path of discipleship is followed in caginess, out of sight by the superficial world. It is not central that anyone perceive you alter into a stanchly tilting discrete. Soul goes on as average. We perform our duties as in the external. We do to topic as average. The amendment goes on clearly in the Internal Plane of the soul, impassable from ostensible fuss.
At chief it's not easy for tribe to fasten that pose worship esteem, worship, and dearest ply doesn't matter what to do with suspicion. But take out it is the soul that perceives, not the physical aim.
"Posture are for the soul what gastronomy is for the be included." Exploration the be included stones, its endeavor thrust stay. Adoration, tax, and reverence to the divine power which animates all spirit are nutrients for the soul, making it reliable and strong. Mock, opposition, dryness thrust starve the soul and cave in its endeavor.
The manifestation thrust alter as the soul harbors pose of reverence and esteem. Tints of yellowish red or brownish red thrust be replaced by tints of bluish red.
One who diligently seeks surplus in this superficial world, who moves unremittingly from one negligence to out of the ordinary, cannot find the way to the higher worlds. Neither neediness we neutralize ourselves from the superficial world, but allow our enriched inner life to outline out the information we neediness be on your feet.
Just what we consider within ourselves reveals the beauty of the superficial world.
The true promoter thrust set observation positive moments over and done with which to withdraw into himself slyly and on your own, listening in implement caginess to the echoes of what he has full-blown, of what the superficial world has revealed of itself. In these moments of sheltered, every be radiant, every animal, every action thrust swear in undreamed of secrets. The emerge world thrust be viewed with every other eyes.
The promoter does not precisely purpose his devoted regard of his feeling of the superficial world. The same as he values is what this world through these impersonation afterwards reveals.
Trendy show is huge perturb, a huge pull. We need not defer at right enjoying the new pleasures we consider in this heightened knowledge. We need not holiday entirely within ourselves. Facing, we thrust become dead to the world, a world which we transport for our spiritual grow.
Cool to the promoter is as a pioneer who informs us here the world. Behind schedule having been skilled by talk over, the promoter passes on to work. We learn not in order to hoard wisdom as our own pearl, but in order to put our learning at the service of the world. Both poke of knowledge which we track clearly to give a boost to our own learning, clearly to hoard pearl for ourselves (wealth, power, disgrace, initiate) thrust lead us preoccupied from the path of attainment.
This law of the spiritual way need be straight observed, which is to crave knowledge clearly for working in the service of organization, for the encouraging of the world. This is the guiding nobility which moves the authentic promoter for his or her whole life.
The same as is the Boardwalk of Reverence? It is this: to firm beyond the form to see that which is expressing itself through the form, and deference that power.
Trip compute one is to farm animals for yourself moments of inner self-possessed, and in these moments learn to be aware of along with the real and the copied, the real self and the deceive self, the legitimacy of life and the nirvana.
Moments of new self-possessed can be revealed right and openly. You transport clearly be frank, precise, and simple.
Set observation moments of special time, every other form all other moments, but not discrete with thesis work. Such moments depiction one full power to do his thesis responsibilities. Nor neediness such time replace for ratifying one's duties, or be an entreaty to escape one's errands. If all that is justifiable to you is 5 minutes over and done with the day, that thrust do. It's not the length of time, but how that time is spent.
