The Great Hum
by Pierre Delattre
Except when he was very much into the holy hum of things so that nothing could knock him off course, the Dalai Lama disliked meeting with foreigners. They obviously thought that he regarded himself as a holy man, and they insisted on treating him as such. Trying to compensate for this misapprehension on their parts, he would lean over backward to be casual, to make small talk, to show that he could be as common, superficial, and even vulgar as the next fellow. Since he was none of these any more than he was a holy man, he would chastise himself for putting on a phony hail-fellow-well-met act during visits, especially from Europeans.
After a visit with Europeans, the inner soliloquy which every good Buddhist hopes to be rid of once and for all would start up again, generated by the nagging question, Why do I always look for postures with these people? (more…)

Letters To You From BALORAN
by Rudolph H. Pestalozzi
Letter #8 – The Peoples’ Code of Morality
I am Baloran. Great has been our anxiety over the inner struggle which you of earth have been waging over the past years. Never have your minds been so disturbed and preoccupied in the turmoil of unformed decisions. Even now there are intermingling thoughts wrestling for control. Even now when you think yourselves somewhat eased from worries, you are caught up in the webs of intrigue being woven about you. Be calm. Listen to the peace within you. Listen to the small hushed voice at the essence of your being. Torture yourself no longer with self-doubt and recrimination. Nothing is gained in chaos and, truly, much may be lost to you. Your world is as it is because you have allowed it to become so. You now feel powerless to stop the madness; the headlong plunge which your societies seem to be taking into the sea of oblivion. Let not this one pebble impede your progress to the light of a new and enlightened society. Fear not. Earth’s societies are not due for total annihilation. Rid yourselves of the abomination of such thoughts. (more…)

The Masters Of Wisdom
by Manly P. Hall
A MASTER IS ONE WHO EXCELS IN THE SCIENCE OF BEING
The Philosophy Of Mastery
Wherever there is an art or science developed there are a certain number who excel in it through concentrating their efforts and focalizing their energies upon it. There are master craftsmen in every work in the concrete world. Having served long apprenticeship, their experience has given them a fine touch, a certain something undefinable yet ever present in those who are familiar with and in harmony with the labors they perform. Many people spend thousands of dollars and travel great distances over land and sea to study at the feet of a master craftsman. There are but few master artists, master musicians or true philosophers in the world at any one time and we respect and reverence these shining lights who stand before the world as the acme of human excellence. It matters little the line of the undertaking for there is as much science and art in driving a rivet as there is in painting a masterpiece. There is something in the soul of man that seeks perfection and the adjustment of human endeavor with cosmic possibility.
If these things be true in material living, as we see it is, then why is it not also true in spiritual matters? Are there not apprentices in the school of life as well as in shipyards and in shops? Are there not master craftsmen in spiritual things as there are among builders of bridges and hewers of stone? Are not the three grand divisions of human craftsmanship equally applicable to the sciences of the soul as to the sciences of wood and stone? There is no reason under the sun why they should not be and the true student of the science of being realizes that the analogy between human life and the divine plan is perfect. (more…)

The Meaning of “Christ” Versus “Jesus” ~ Part II
by Ernest L. Norman
Now that we have made adjustments, may I speak a little more please. I believe I was talking about the progression of the individual through the various material planes of existence and about his acquiring such materialistic philosophies and knowledge as pertained to these dimensions, which will enable him to progress further in his evolution into the higher spiritual domains. In order that my remarks may not be misconstrued or erroneously interpreted, I do not advocate that a person should purposely set out to undergo sinful experiences with the idea in mind that such experiences will further advance his spiritual growth. Such is not the case. The determining element is what you think is sin or error. We say that the ordinary experiences in the material world are, in themselves, largely sinful. There are many things about you in your earth life which lead to guilt complexes. We could say that things which induce such complexes are sinful in nature. Because of the complexity in a concept of the food which mankind eats, one man says eat flesh; another says abstain and eat nothing but vegetables; others say this is good or that is not so good. As a result, you yourself become confused and you believe that your stomach is constantly upset by what you do eat. Consequently, you have a neurosis and you have suffered sin. We might say that the association of man and woman in the field called sex is also conducive of a great number of guilt complexes and neuroses. Each person has his own concept in regard to his conduct in the relationship of sex. No two people seem to be able to agree on one or more points in their own individual translations. The various conflicts in this field give rise to some of the greatest and most deep rooted of the guilt complexes of human nature. (more…)

Application Of Spiritual Law To Criminal Behavior
by Walter Winston Kenilworth
The most potent conjurers of the occult are those whose hearts throb with deepest sympathy for the lowly, the downtrodden and the sinful. They know the feelings and thoughts that cloud the lives of the unfortunate. They have climbed the great ladder of psychic progression through births and experiences innumerable. With the vision of Gods they foresee the rise of the lowly by the law of their unconquerable souls even to their own position, finally to merge with them into that Ocean of Endless Being where the manifold finds its Oneness in the Silence and Peace of Nirvana.
Criminals are gods in embryo. They are criminals only as a child is a child. As the latter has the possibilities of manhood or womanhood beneath the covering of a small form with infant expression, thus the imperfect being is imperfect because the powers and perfection of the soul still remain dormant. They exist however. (more…)

Life As Cause And Effect
by Manly P. Hall
Forgiveness of Sin Versus Karma
The belief in the doctrine of the forgiveness of sin is entirely inconsistent with a recognition of the immutability of universal law. Either life is a series of fortuitous circumstances dominated by the principle of chance, or the law of consequence bestow upon each that which is merited by previous action. There can be no compromise; the human mind must accept either law or chaos, either pattern or confusion, as the rule of action.
Frequent efforts have been made to blend the doctrine of vicarious atonement with the laws of rebirth and karma. Ingenious explanations have been offered to prove that under certain conditions and for certain people law is tempered by grace. This is only wishful thinking, man’s old theological upbringing overshadowing his philosophical attainments.
It is well within the memory of modern students that various fabricators promised to make man mightier than the Law. It has been erroneously taught that karma might be overcome by breathing through the right nostril, meditating on the kundalini, or supplicating an adept. Various schools of metaphysical philosophy have built up huge followings by assuring human beings without the courage of their convictions that karma can be dissipated with a mantra, and that the whole character and temperament can be reformed by an affirmation.

The Meaning of “Christ” Versus “Jesus”
by Ernest L. Norman
In your modern Christian theologies, most people who attend the Christian churches do so with the belief that they cannot envision God as anything except a super being who rules in some celestial palace, sitting on a throne, writing everyone’s name in a huge book, and making little x’s or o’s after each name denoting the temperament or disposition of the individual. Such is the Judgment Day of some far-off time, as written in the Book of Peter in which He shall come as a thief in the night. Why would God come as a thief in the night? Why should He destroy one of His planets with a rain of fire and burn all things from the surface? Such a philosophy and such a prediction is in contradiction to the simple philosophy which was taught by Jesus who, in his own way, taught the all-forgiving, the loving, the everlasting presence of God within all things. In my most ancient China, we find even to this day, groups or individuals who shave all but a small piece on the top of the head where their hair grows out into a long queue by means of which they believe they shall be snatched into heaven by some unseen hand. We find a similarity in the Christian philosophy, in which the blood of Jesus and the belief in Him will guarantee salvation even for the blackest and most vile sinner should he call upon the name of this personage.

Who Really Speaks Through The Bible? ~ Part II
by Erich von Daniken
For nearly two thousand years now the Christian has been given an unbearable burden to carry on his way through life: he is inflicted with original sin from birth and he needs the ‘Redeemer’ to free himself from it.
We all learnt in school and church that God was the beginning and end of everything, alpha and omega, that God was almighty, infinitely good, all-righteous, omniscient, omnipresent and eternal.
So far I accept the concept of God without reservations. But because he is eternal God is also timeless: he knows no yesterday, today or tomorrow. Eternal and omnipresent God does not need to await the results of his measures. He does not need to ask how they are going to turn out, for he already knows the answer. (more…)

Planetary Empaths
by Rob & Trish MacGregor
An empath is a person who has an ability to tune into another person’s emotions, and sometimes literally assume those feelings. “They feel everything, sometimes to an extreme, and are less apt to intellectualize feelings. Intuition is the filter through which they experience the world,” writes Dr. Judith Orloff in The Power of Surrender: Let Go and Energize Your Relationships, Success, and Well-Being. A planetary empath, on the other hand, is someone whose whole being reacts to major events that are about to unfold and affect the planet and large numbers of people.
These individuals are so attuned to the planet that they experience physical, emotional and psychic symptoms hours and sometimes days before a natural or man-made disaster. They come from different countries, from different cultural, ethnic, and spiritual backgrounds, and most seem to be women. The intensity of their symptoms appear to be connected to the severity of the disasters and often subside once the disaster has occurred. (more…)

The Living Universe Is Unimaginably Big And You’re A Part Of It!
How big is the universe? Let’s take a journey from Earth to the solar system, closest stars, the Milky Way, and the observable universe. Along the way we will stop by the Oort cloud, Alpha Centauri, radiosphere, Andromeda galaxy, Virgo supercluster, and Laniakea.
After watching this video, you can think a couple things. Either — I’m this tiny, separate thing on a distant planet in the middle of nowhere special, I’ll live for several decades and that will be that or you may be thinking, Wow! -I’m a part of this unimaginably large, possibly infinite universe, that is potentially teeming with life. A part of this thing that I don’t really understand; a thing that, well, no one truly understands; a part of this planet, this node in the sea of space that is perpetuating life and things can get very metaphysical after that.

Concerning The Eternal Omnipresent Self
by Walter Winston Kenilworth
There is but One Infinite Reality in this fleeting alternation of life and death; there is but One Imperishable Substrate in this perpetual evolution and disintegration of countless solar Systems; there is but One Eternal Truth in the immensities of the universe. It is the Omnipresent Spirit.
What is meant by Omnipresence? It is meant that should you travel even with the inconceivable rapidity of light and thought, throughout endless time in the shoreless ocean of space, at every point of your unthinkable journey there would be “He at whose command the wind blows, fire burns, flowers bloom, stars shine, and Death stalks upon the earth.” He is the soul of your soul and my soul, and the soul of all Existence. “He is infinitely larger than the largest, and infinitely smaller than the smallest. He pervades the infinite space and also resides in the minutest atom of atom. He also dwells in the innermost sanctuary of the soul of every man and woman. Whosoever realizes that Divine Omnipresence, whose image the individual soul is, unto him comes eternal peace and perpetual bliss, unto none else, unto none else.” Stretch forth your hand He is there; gaze into the immeasurable expanse of the heavens, He, the Lord, is present. “That immortal Spirit is before, that Spirit is behind, that Spirit is right and left. It has gone forth below and above. Spirit alone is all this. It is the best.” (more…)

Life Is Magic
by Lao Tse
My honorable friends, before giving talk on “Life Is Magic”, want to say that when I, Lao Tse lived, never gave any writings at all. I was a seeker after understanding of the nature of life and was taught that I was ‘seeking’.
A seeker knows nothing! Therefore, what could I have to write? Listening to life’s moments I acquired, after many many years, a little understanding that brought peace of mind to my way of living. For a time I talked much on what I thought I knew and many others listening to me accepted my thoughts and wrote them on tablets. I wrote nothing.
After a little more than ninety years I passed from the physical world with smile on my face, showing I had contentment. I came to the realization, one who forces life finds life trying to force them, bringing much trouble. I find this desire to force life is to acquire material possessions. I found more material possessions, more trouble. I found more laughter, more tears. All things equal themselves in the course of time. To want nothing brings peace of mind. To have nothing means you shall never be envied nor your life threatened. (more…)

What Would You Do If It Was Just Me And You?
I watched this video and thought nothing of it till later it hit me how profound this experience was which brought tears to my eyes. It reminded me of a lecture given by Dr. Ernest L. Norman entitled “What is God?” from Tempus Interludium, Vol. III. Below is an excerpt of that lecture following this amazing video.

Spiritual Partnerships
by Gary Zukav
The world as we know it has been built without a consciousness of soul. It has been built with the consciousness of the personality. Everything within our world reflects personality energy. We believe that what we can see and smell and touch and feel and taste is all there is to the world. We believe that we are not responsible for the consequences of our actions. We act as though we are not affected when we take and take and take. We strive for external power and in that striving create a destructive competition.
The introduction of consciousness into the cyclic process of creation through which the soul evolves permits the creation of a world that is built upon the consciousness of the soul, a world that reflects the values and perceptions and experiences of the soul. It allows you to bring the energy of your soul consciously into the physical environment. It allows the consciousness of the sacred to fuse with physical matter. (more…)
