Personal Alchemy

The process of individual alchemy is now at the point of transmuting an inhuman history into nothing less than humanity's self-realisation..., (and) since all the cards are stacked against us, we have everything to win.

America Awake: A Declaration of Interdependence

When in the course of human events it becomes necessary for all people to separate from the cosmology which binds them and enter into a new cosmological understanding of the universe more primal in truth and fulfilling of their rights and needs, a common courtesy for all life requires that they state the reasons and causes that drive their separation and the discoveries that impel their maturation into new being.

We the people of Earth hold these truths to be self-evident: All is created equal, sentient and sacred in love.

All being is endowed by its source in love with certain original rights.

Among these rights are conservation of being, creation of entropy for work, manifestation of symmetry for order and transformation by evolution for fulfillment.

These rights and principles of cosmic origin guide the people to institute new forms of self-governance based on new political economy in resonance with and reverence for the working of love in the universe.

Governments are instituted by people for people and of people with their creative engagement for the continuous care and fulfillment of all being.

When governments fail in these sacred duties of compassion, it is the right and the necessity of the people that they change their governments to bring them forward into harmony with the honest order of love.

In these notes, I have echoed my original declaration of independence to illustrate how radically different your present and future times are in comparison to ours at the birth of the American nation.

Dialogue

Oftentimes, we think of dialogue perhaps as a better conversation, but there is much more to it. Genuine dialogue is a conversation with a center, not sides. It is a way of taking the energy or our differences and channeling it toward something that has never been created before. It lifts us out of polarization and into a greater common sense, and is thereby a means for accessing the intelligence and coordinated power of groups of people.

Assumptions

All human thought is built upon assumptions। Science, revered so often as infallible by (a)theists of every kind during the reign of what are now waning ideologies of materialism, featured scientists as high priests of matter, mediating its mysteries to the 'lay' audience in return for unlimited stipends paid as tithes to the idol of nationalism whose 'heaven' is unlimited sovereignty achieved through endless war. Alas, Science is built upon the assumption that reason is valid, that the universe can be comprehended and relies heavily upon at least three further assumptions: matter, motion, and life. However, all human knowledge is incomplete given that Science will forever seek to identify, analyze, and classify the segmented parts of a limitless cosmos while Religion grasps by faith the 'idea-of-the-whole' i.e. the entire cosmos leaving Philosophy to attempt the identification of the material segments of Science with the spiritual-insight of the whole to make meaningful a larger spectrum of our human experience.

Reasonable Faith

Through living 'faith', sincere religionists experience the limitless 'value' of communion or 'at-one-ment' with the Source of all that is, ever was, or will be that is fully present in this moment - now. The 'reason' of genuine science allows finite minds to analyze the infinitesimal elements of the infinite in a progressive exploration of 'fact' whose re-cognition is made meaningful by the integration of these discrete realms of human thought and experience through the wisdom of philosophy, that intellectual labor weaving as one the part and whole, cause and effect, origin and destiny, beginning and end of every human endeavor to 'know' the truth that sets us free.

Predicate of Love

Subject and object in relationship through the predicate of love is a function of multiplicity acting as one. On the human level, this subject and object entwined as lover and beloved, male and female, engender a union bearing the fruit of such affection, living children whose presence enlivens the world with countless future possibilities already embedded in this present moment. As in the mortal frame, so in dimensions far exceeding our imaginations where greater levels of love's manifestation is born through unions of more expansive minds and spirits whose luminosity is undiminished by the density of material minds struggling to know in a diminutive conceptual framework what the human heart knows with ease, that all of us are offspring of a divine affection, whose Father and Mother sends us forth to worlds only beginning to awaken to the grandeur of our cosmic home that is governed by a perfect love limited solely by our exposure to the same। And as our capacity to expose ourselves to this light of life within us grows, the image of who we are emerges in these emulsions of living experience to reveal the image of God living in and through us.

The Present

While forward looking souls are greatly appreciated, in truth and spirit, the future, like the past, is seen to hold no more than what we are willing to affirm dwelling in the infinite depth of this very moment, that is eternal.

I AM

I AM is the lightning who splits the deep darkness of night with the light of his word revealed, then rolling as thunder across the misty plains of human perception, shaking loose the rotten roots of fear, before unleashing his water of life upon all the worlds athirst for the truth, that we are his children. His love is the currency of the universe, and happy are they who spend it freely, knowing its source is in him who is, without beginning or end.

Phenome

The phenomena we observe in fact is but a veil crumbling before the noumena we are in truth. The mirror of mind reflects the former while the latter looks through it.

Meaning

Meaning is the pattern of thought woven in the mind over the course of life as it labors to plant the values of spirit in the soil of any planetary existence.

School of the Heavens

The realm of heaven is the school whose day is composed of three periods; home, work, and rest। In all these periods are taught three courses; facts, meanings, and values, and between each period, ample time is provided for play while on the playground are found three spheres that correspond to the courses studied. One is large and heavy and always moves in a linear fashion. The second is larger still than the first, but ever so light, and moves in an unpredictable and surprising manner while the third is truly glorious, of varying sizes and shapes. It swirls with eddies of ever-changing colors and can be touched only with the breath. Some children are drawn to one of these more than the others, but all play with each at different times. While the object of the school is unwritten, it is rumored to be the growth of affection which emerges only as the children come to know each other better than they do their lessons.

Fact & Value

Is it a great knowledge whose survey of fact extends from the deepest particle of matter to the borders of a universe of universes? Or, is it a greater knowledge which penetrates the depth of a single human heart and there discovers the meaning of friendship? Still, is it not the greatest knowledge which feels the value of divine love holding in perfect poise the personal and the mechanical? However, does not wisdom bind these mere forms of knowing together with the ease of a Mother gathering her children to greet the return of their Father from a long journey? And the song she sings as she runs to greet him, is it not the literature of all the ages? Who then is her lover, friend and husband; is it not Philosophy?

Questions of Being

Are we not fortunate to be in this moment? But then, is this not true of all Father's children who savor the present feast set before them? Can we fully drink the cup of experience given to us and realize the gift we then bring to our Creator, this gift of harvest from the realm of time? How many times do mortal children tell their parents that they wish they were older to partake of the benefits of increased age and maturity only to greet an understanding smile born of the knowledge that such time comes only too soon, indeed, that when the desired moment comes the benefit sought no longer suffices as the hunger for a larger one has replaced it?

Are there not many who seek first the lesser things of heaven and fall short even of these, while those who seek only the greatest are given not only the treasure, but all other things as well? What then is the highest reality we can obtain, and how do we serve it? If we embrace a 'revelation', but do not become ourselves the truth revealed, what has been accomplished? If we entertain angels and other supernal beings, but do not become a fountain of light, then what is served? Do we command knowledge of history from the beginnings of time to the boundaries of its exhaustion yet know not the experience of bestowing a divine affection upon even one of our fellows who has given offense?

How do we measure our progress in this experience of light? Is it seen in the mirror of wealth or fame? Or do we look at our proximity to those figures carved upon the august halls of hallowed study? Or perhaps to the circles of those celebrated as 'leaders' of any kind? Instead, is it not hidden within us at a depth so great as to evade our circumspection?

Can we compare our experience of Father's affection with another's if each of us are loved as if we were the only creature in all creation? Does not the loving parent seek more diligently to communicate affection to the child who for the moment feels a greater distance? So whether in distance or nearness, darkness or light, are we not adored with a love so great as to move all creation into its service?
