Did ancient philosophers have a method to align themselves with the Divine realms (or Spirit)?

From what we know about them, some of them certainly did. Part of this method consisted of studying the philosophical and poetic works of their forefathers. They assembled in Mystery Schools of old, where the spirit of the group took them to new levels of understanding by inspiration and, of course, exchanging their ideas about the Good, the Just and the Beautiful. Plato is well…

God has no beginning or end. So what did God create everything from? He created everything out of himself! So in the beginning there was only God and there is still,only God. He is creator,and creation! He is the source,and substance,of everything in the universe. So everything the exists is God manifesting as that thing. Seven times in Isaiah 45 and 46 God says I am the lord and there is none else. When translated literally means, I am the Lord,nothing else exists!…

We may see color in all things but is it reality? Nope it's not. Dr. Peter Gouras says that, color vision is a illusion created by the interactions of billions of neurons in our brain.There is no color in the external world; it is created by neural programs and projected onto the outer world we see. Ounce again we think we see reality,and we do not. The whole world is a hollographic universe. Interesting read on this is Michael Talbots Hollographic…

    It seems like there are always bad situations because let's face it that it life. However, there are always different sides to every situations to help and/or guide us through the way. If we are not too hasty to make quick decisions out of panic, worry, anger or revenge we can then be able to be still within ourselves. The "being still" is that trusting, knowing and faith you got to have deep down inside to know…

'The Beatitudes

He said:

                    ‘All religions have saved a number

                    of souls, but none yet has been able

                    to spiritualise mankind. For that

                    there is needed not cult and creed,

                    but a sustained and all-comprehending

                    effort at spiritual self-evolution.’

Philosophy to me is general understanding of living and searching for truth and wisdom in the knowledge of others who are doing the same thing. Discovering where I fit in the scheme of things in this world. Identifying myself with others and becoming a part of the whole.

AS I WAIT

the urge to Create bubbles within my Chest

and these butterflies will not let me rest

AS I IMPLODE

no longer am I lost in Haze

and quickly my Eyes begin to Glaze

AS I RISE

leaving the Ignorance of my youth

and continuing this never-ending Quest for Truth

AS I GROW

trying to alleviate your Fear

and to simultaneously Disappear

AS I LOVE

holding onto the hope that you Feel me

and this Waking-Dream of being Free

THIS NEW LIFE…
