Man is more than physical personality, or what we cognize through the material senses. Mind is more than matter even as the infinite idea of THRUTH is beyond a finite belief. Man’s eternal identity is beyond the esoteric expression of that which is born of the flesh. Therefore the eternal Elohim in man remains to be learned through understanding of the serpent force that lies within the Eden of human soul. Deep Knowledge into science makes evil less and devalue some religious creeds. Because the “evil that are hidden by our various religious credo and creed can only be uncovered by esoteric insight into Astro-Metaphysical nature of spirituality. A certain apothegm of a telmudical philosopher suit my sense of philosophy of doing good, it goes thus, “ the noblest charity is to prevent a man from accepting charity; and the best arms are to show and to enable him to dispense with alms”.
The philosophic expression above may not make sense to many hence we are engulfed in believing many pseudo ideologies. Those who know have always taken undue advantage of the ignorant ones and those who think they know, while in ultimate sense, they know nothing have also hidden their knowledge from man. But those who know and those who know not are material sinful mortals who however, is the counterfeit of immortal man. Socrates was of the view that among all man living, none has ever seen a man. He said this because man is not absorbed in deity, for he is forever individual; but what this everlasting individuality is remains to be learned. Mortals have not seen it! Spiritual and immortal man alone is God’s likeness, and that which is mortal is not man in spiritual cum scientific sense. Man is a “celestial being” who in the spiritual universe is forever individual and forever harmonious. Who can say what the absolute personality of or man is?
Who living has ever seen a man? Among all men, who has ever seen God or a perfect man? In the presence of such thought and its answer take off your shoes and tread lightly for it is a holy ground. The opposition to this philosophy makes sin a reality. Sin must be absolute for dust must return to dust- yes, nothingness must return to nothingness this does not issue a false claim of the subjective ontology in spirituality.
Spirituality is not immaterial nor is it of human origin; all true science represents spiritual force which holds the earth in its orbit. This force is spirit, which can bind the sweet influences of Pleiades and loose the bands of Orion. Marvel not at this, O earth men, God is spirit and we can only learn and love him through his spirit, which brings out the fruits of spirit and extinguishes forever the works of darkness by his marvelous light. In the philosophy of spirituality man is neither matter nor mortal but pure spirit. You can disagree with me, but you cannot deny me my fundamental right which includes freedom of expression. Today, there is no doubt that priest who seek the truth are now beginning to doubt everything that is established. Modern research has brought down the mental edifice in which we made our various homes. Knowledge that was hidden in the libraries of spirituality is now being rediscovered.
Gods and priests, kings and heroes, emerge from the dark chasms we must at this time challenge them to deliver up their secrets for we have means to find out things about our spiritual philosophies. Modern spiritual seekers must take over the office of priesthood and must therefore visit the paradigm sites of spirituality with ultra sensitive spirituals measuring apparatus in order to rediscover the unity of spirituality. I have continued to ask, why are the oldest libraries in the world today, secret libraries? What are people really afraid of? Are they worried that the so called various religious truth, protected and concealed for so many thousands of years will finally come to light? A little time from now, when the arch-angels trumpet shall sound, many religious wisdom and knowledge shall be found to be in total error, because some sons of God shall all be ruptured into the spiritual library of truth. This can only occur if mankind decides to be in matrimony with research leading to the core abode of spirituality.
Research and progress into spirituality and not religiosity) should not be held back. At this point and due to what I may call “ the priest cover up” in religious truth, we are entitled and indeed we ought to doubt every accepted religious pattern of thought (creed and credo) or working hypothesis, because if existing ideas are not called in question, research is at end. Yes, if new research comes up and is authentic, the old working hypothesis, however, familiar it may have become must be replaced by a new one. As a matter of fact, the hour has come to introduce spirituality at the very center of our religious faith. The time has come for our Pope, cardinals, Bishops, Reverend, Pastors, Prophets, Apostles, Evangelist, Malam, Sheik, Gurus, Spiritual Masters to mention only a few to admit their inadequacies in making proper discoveries in the infinite spiritual dimension of religion. Only then shall we realize that we are only but infinite spiritual beings whose worship of the universal cause must be in spirit and in truth. Our future and great opportunities lie in the true knowledge of spirituality. All those with various religious titles whose lives are bereft of spirituality should all be called to question. Our growth depends on our marriage with spirituality.
Religion is like a sign-post pointing or leading to spirituality, but when people get to the sign –post, thy rest and finally situate there. Majority have finally ended up at religious homes without making any frank effort to locate spirituality. As a result of the above, religion has buried the knowledge of spirituality in the barren soil of illusion thereby acting superior dramas to confide its adherents that they are at the right place. But the superiority of religion over spirituality is only for a moment! Due to this great misplacement, emotionality has hitherto replaced spirituality in our various conceptual temples. It is a fact to state here that the daily increase of science and technology in the twenty first century has indeed helped to bring religion especially Christian religion to the door post of every home. This great effort must be appreciated, but is still incapable of making man spiritual.
Man has continued to praise his noble and ignoble works in the field of science, he has advanced beyond recognition, to the extent that the spiritual language of the Elohim can be re-echoed in science thus, “ come let us make man (robots) in our image, after our likeness”. The obedience of other scientists to this all imperative call, consummated in the scientific contribution in making Roberts without the function of IT (Life) in it. Yes, man has advanced. As a matter of fact, whatever man claims to have attained which is not geared towards spiritualizing his environment is totally based in error. The true advancement therefore is the one made to bring man in union with the ultimate cause- the creator.
A wise states man, whose name I cannot recall, once said’ “If we but knew what troubles our world we might perhaps, fix it. The quandary is that we do not know” That is true! We do not know”. We are still too near our primitive days to know. We are not sufficiently unfolded as spiritual being to recognize the fact that the cause of our world trouble lies in that one naked fact that we are still too near your primacy to know how to build an enduring spiritual foundation. The true knowledge of spirituality will transform the world in this eleventh hour of its danger, I do hope that the ego in religiosity will consequently allow us to open up our collective consciousness to accept this inter-planetary transformation because our spiritual consciousness have fallen further in fifty years than it had gained in eight centuries.
Man is a great spirit in the universe. The unseen man is perfect, spiritual and infinite. Death, sickness, and sin have no part in him. The real man cannot depart from holiness, nor can God by whom man is evolved, engender the capacity or freedom to sin. A mortal sinner is not GOD’S MAN FOR MORTLAS ARE THE COUNTERFEITS OF IMMORTALS. They are the children of wicked one or the one evil which declares that man begins in dust or as a material embryo. Identity is the reflection of spirit, the reflection in multifarious forms of the living principle love. The inferior rank heroes have taught man otherwise! Therefore learn this, O mortal man, which is opposite of all material selfhood. Remember that the scriptures say of, mortal man, “As for man, his days are as grass, as a flower of the field, so he flourishes,. For the wind passes over it, and it is the, and the place therefore shall know it no more”
When speaking of God’s children not the children of men, Jesus said, “The kingdom of God is within you”, that man in God’s image is un-fallen and eternal. Whatever is material is mortal. It is profoundly imperative for man to arise and take up his image which he has abandoned for years, and live for what he is made and not the other way round.
Plato’s view of man suits my philosophical cum spiritual approach. He is of the view that man is a spiritual being though he played down on his gross element( body), while Aristotle regarded man as the supreme being on earth, primarily spirit and capable of intellectual knowledge. Aristotle however continued his cosmological stressed man’s spiritual nature as transcending material conditions. To Diogenes of Appolomia man is a being privileged by the Gods both in bodily equipment and in mental capacity. All these point to the fact that man is a spirit being who can awaken the seven charkas within him to better his world. The seven charkas in human beings are related to the seven physical senses which are in tune with the seven heavens.
If everything is based on science I mean empirical sciences, we will make the worst mistake. In the natural science, man has never beheld any spirit or soul living a body or entering it. Error says you are a man, but truth and ultimate knowledge says you are a spirit. Matter is neither self-existent nor a product of spirit. In the vast forever in the science and truth of being, the only facts are spirit of God is, there is liberty.
Today what is happening to humanity at the present time is that he has chosen to distort his balanced circular orbit around his creator, His free will, supported by his ignorance of his unavoidable close relationship to God, and his awareness of his dependence on God, has influenced him to choose transient body sensations, body comforts and body values instead of eternal spiritual values. The universe is founded upon love as related to human survival. Our present civilization is hurting itself by building its own agonies and ills. It has become physically scientific instead of spiritually scientific. It has no living philosophy to overcome the philosophy of death which is threatening the entire world
