Searching for the Trees of Knowledge
Part One
The Journey Begins
There is a metaphysical statement that assures us:
"When the student is ready the Teacher appears."
We all have found that to be true in many areas of our lives, all our lives,
continuing into the present time. In spite of how it may seem at times,
Life does bring us what we need to progress, Body and Soul.
There is nothing mysterious about that when we consider another
metaphysical Truth,
'Each day we are given our 'daily bread'"....we are given our Truth for each day!
And that is 'Truth' we are to use to experience Life in the human arena,
or anywhere We happen to be in the Greater Universe.
The First Truth, as it concerns the human endeavor, is this:
We are not the mortal human vehicle....We are Souls, Immortal Bits of Life.
And the 'Bread of Life' is immediately available as and when we need It
or are ready to receive It. Wherever we are.
The Second Truth as it concerns the human/Soul Endeavor, is this.
We exist to expand the Light of Universal Godness.
How much and when we experience the Expansion of 'Life/Light'
depends on our knowing what to do....
how to use Spiritual Knowledge....
wherever we are in the Greater Universe.
That's where all our Soul Experiences come into play.
And this Earth Experience is only one of many places (Many Mansions)
in which we live, learn, and serve.
The human-us is told to put on the same Mind that was the 'Mind of Jesus'.
And 'what Mind' was That....
When we are ready to ask that question, a new kind of personal search
begins. Where before we may have been focused on
the Greater God of the Universe....Our 'Father'....remote in our minds and far
away in time and space,
now suddenly we are faced with the Idea of a Bit of Christ Mind that is said
to exist within each one of us. How do we prove that?
I would say there is no way to know what that 'Mind of Christ' is
without Knowing first
WHO WE REALLY ARE....
For thousands of years humanity has been denied that Truth by the 'religions'
that purport to guide them Spiritually. And by individuals themselves who have
lacked personal interest in the Subject. Thus, few on Earth today,
KNOW WHO THEY REALLY ARE IN THE COSMIC SCHEME OF THINGS.
And thus we have the terrible conditions of Earth for now many thousands of
years as the animal nature has gotten the upper hand.
Desire for Knowledge of 'Greater Self....Greater Beingness' comes into human
focus when the Intuitive Messages of the ever present Soul Mind finally
penetrate the human consciousness, bringing with Them, the dawning Idea of
WHO WE REALLY ARE .
Eventually each one learns that a small Spark of the individual's
Greater I AM Presence resides within the physical body.
This small Spark of Christ Light and Consciousness is placed on an Altar in a
Secret Place in the human heart at the time of conception.
'WE' ARE THE IMMORTAL CONSCIOUSNESS WITHIN THAT SPARK.
'WE' ARE TO FAN THAT SPARK INTO A GREAT FLAME....
A FLAME IN OUR HEARTS THAT WILL GROW AND WILL
LIGHT OUR WAY ON EARTH. AND FINALLY LIGHT THE EARTH!
Now, at the outset, any quest for more Knowledge or Experience
in any field of endeavor requires a level of human 'belief and/or faith' in
whatever we are attempting to do.
So the Third Truth concerns Faith and Belief and Trust:
Those Attitudes guide us and hold us steady, Mentally and
Emotionally as we search for the Trees of Knowledge
However, what complicates our search for the Truth, is this:
' Truth' on Earth is currently divided or scattered among many Trees in the
Spiritual Forest.
And yes, there are Reasons for this....Reasons partially hidden. But we don't
have to understand all the 'Cosmic Reasoning' behind the Evolutionary Process
on Earth. Our job is to find and 'put on' that Mind that was the 'Mind of Jesus',
.gathering Truth, piece by piece until we have enough of It to say,
'I think I begin to Understand'.
And it is a great day when we can say that and when we find we are not alone in
our search....that there are other Searchers who have arrived at a similar
Understanding, after a similar search.
Religions, organizations have grown from people coming together in
the name of some Aspect of the True Knowledge of God.
Spirituality has grown on Earth when individuals have taken their
Ideas out into the wider world.
Organizations have and do exist and are still necessary and needed to serve the
various evolving levels of human and Soul Mind.
Remember:
We Souls start Life here with just the baby mind to work with.
Then with time we grow and move from
one Idea to another...hopefully always seeking Truth.
Always seeking the 'Mind of Christ' that was demonstrated by 'Jesus'....
As we seek, the Soul Mind that lives in the human-us begins to
flex its Cosmic Muscles, as it were, grateful that we are showing Signs of
interest in Higher Knowledge.
The Soul (or Bit of Christ Mind) is always trying to get the human attention
and when successful, the human being is 'on the road' to becoming part of
a Spiritualized, human/Soul Partnership.
The brain ( the hard drive) has placed within it, little by little, the
Software (information) needed by Body and Soul for each Journey....
We are provided with as much Information and Experience as we can handle at
any one time...
Step by step the Journey of Body and Soul gets underway.
Then it is up to each one of us, each human/Soul Partnership,
to Expand the Journey....take It as far as we wish to go with It.
A concluding thought.
'Faith and Belief' spring into Life when we begin to
'just know' there is more to Life than only the human process.
In time we can see that the physical body is, after all, of animal design.
Later we learn that this is the type of material body that can handle the density
of Earth Energy as it now exists, and we understand that the physical Body is
designed especially for the use of the Soul Spark of Christ
Mind and Energy while here.
In time, the vibration of Earth Energy will be higher/faster.... at which time the
physical body will be less dense and heavy....making it easier for 'Souls' to
matriculate here. But all that happens slowly with the Evolution of Life.
It takes time....
Meanwhile, our Understanding and Use of 'Life' expands as fast and as far as
we wish to or are able to take It. We are Free to create our Lives in whatever
way We, Body or Soul desire to create.
The Fourth Truth is this:
We are to strive to be in tune with God Consciousness.
We are to strive to access that Consciousness.
We are to strive to activate that Consciousness
In time, we are ready to experience the
Secrets of Life
as we Quest for the Holy Grail
In time we taste of the Fruits of the Trees of True Knowledge.
Life is really simple
if our 'eye be single'.
