Hello Seekers


Becoming a spiritual seeker is like any other search, only this search leads to astounding and amazing finds, because you discover that you are part of that which you searched for.
No longer outside looking into the mysteries of the universe, now, you are part of the mystery, and this change in perception alters something deep within you. You have a new appreciation of life, and your place within it.

Humans being the ego constructs they are, nothing gets their attention like something about them. Anything that centers on them, interests them. Anything that centers on others is less spell binding. So at first, one is so enthralled, with this new definition of themselves, they forget the world is made up of beings just like them, and at this point the ego must give way to include every human in the new definition.

The inner eye opens slowly, and sees itself first, but if light and truth is guiding the mind, it soon turns to include all other humans, and slowly it opens wider and wider to include respect and love for all creation, visible and invisible. When it is wide open, it loves all. How can you hate even a part of your total being? You may not withdraw your love from those who need it most, if you wish to claim you are following truth. Love shows no distinctions.

It is not a surprise, that your spiritual eye, should be located right in the middle between your physical eyes, but when it opens, it reveals a world you do not see with your two physical eyes. It sees things of the spirit.
First, though, you must slay the dragon of ego before this eye will open, because unless one has accomplished that task the eye remains closed. Spiritual blindness comes from arrogance and unless one admits to themselves they do not have all the answers, the eye remains closed.

The Divine Mind is happy to supply the answers you seek but first you must follow truth wherever it goes. Some people want answers but they want the truth to conform to the ideas they already know and feel comfortable with. So their minds will reject anything new. A seeker, will be led but it might mean having to overturn cherished ideas.

If one is willing to become the seeker; the hermit with the lantern held out before one, traveling up mountains and down into valleys of your own mind, with humility, one will be shown the answers to the riddle that is you.

First you must have pure intention. You cannot hide even the slightest ulterior motive from this eye. If you only want truth for its own sake then you shall have it. This is the safeguard the Divine Mind has put on secrets of the universe. They are only accessible by those of clean heart.

Those who say they know the secrets of the universe, and yet they display less than selfless motives, cannot understand them. To them, doing anything without a selfish motive isn’t wise. This is the kind of thinking the world in general believes is wisdom, but this is not wisdom. To cheat another is to cheat oneself. Do not be surprised if as your inner vision becomes clearer, the rules the world lives by, look increasingly foolish to you. There is nothing wrong with you, its only your vision is now being corrected by the addition of the third eye, so that your trinity of seeing is complete. Yet, this trinity makes One.

Because of your new vision, what you begin to see as valuable, the world scoffs at, and what they think is happiness you see as empty diversion, meant to occupy a mind which thirsts for truth and only gets trinkets.

The inner eye will unify the universe into the whole that it is, and everything will be seen in the true light of Oneness, indivisible and holy. The world thinks war brings peace, and that love is weakness, and that duality really exists. When, in fact, war, only brings more war, it is brave not weak to love in the midst of a loveless world, and duality is a product of seeing through only the two human fleshly eyes.

There are two poles within the mind. Science calls this the left and right hemispheres. If one sees through the left brain, one sees only with the two eyes of matter. When one sees through the right brain, one sees through the eye of Spirit. Only by merging the two sections and types of thinking, the logical and the intuitive, can one see the entire picture and not just part of the picture. To see truth is to see that all things are within One.

Opening that inner vision is a most transcendent experience. Like existing all your life with double vision, and suddenly with the addition of this new dimension, the vision merges into one, and you can see things as they really are.

The two kinds of thinking really are a universe apart. One sees real estate and investments, wealth and property, and another sees the living aware earth, The Being, which is an expression of the Divine Mind in matter.

Tears wash away the grief in the physical eyes, but there are no tears to wash away in the inner eye, for it sees what the world calls reality as merely illusion, and cannot grieve, because grief displays lack of understanding of the natural cycles of the universe.

Many seekers become mired down and side tracked looking everywhere for the spiritual answers they seek. This is part of seeking, getting lost and going down wrong paths which only lead to half truths. It is not until the seeker looks inward and opens that eye of truth as the humble initiate who asks only to be guided, that he sees what was hidden from him.

You are the repository of truth. Religious books and reading material, preachers guides and teachers, if they are truthful will tell you this. Anyone saying you need another human to lead you have not opened their own inner eye. The map of the universe is inscribed on your soul, you just have to keep looking for wisdom as hidden treasure.

Many years ago he
Looked out through a glassless window
All that he could see was Babylon
Beautiful green fields and dreams
And learn to measure the stars
But there was a worry in his heart

He said,
How could it come to this?
I'm really worried about living
How could it come to this?
Yeah, I really want to know about this
Is it like today?

Then there came a day
It moved out across the Mediterranean
Came to western isles and the Greek young men
And with their silver beards they laughed
At the unknown of the universe
They could sit and guess God's name

But they said,
How could it come to this?
We're really worried about living
How could it come to this
Yeah, we really want to know about this
Is it like today?

Then there followed days of Kings, Empires and revolution
Blood just looks the same when you open the veins
But sometimes it was faith, power or reason as the cornerstone
But the furrowed brow has never left his face

He said,
How could it come to this?
We've living in a landslide
How could it come to this?
Yeah, we really want to know about this
Is it like today?

Then there came a day
Man packed up flew off from the planet
He went to the moon, to the moon
Now he's out in space
Hey, fixing all the problems
He comes face to face with God

He says,
How could it come to this?
I'm really worried about my creation
How did it comes to this?
You're really killing me, you know

It isn't just today
Is it like today?
Is it like today?
Bang!

Many years ago he
Looked out through a glassless window
Didn't understand which what he saw
