Hi y'all, Flapj here. Guten morgen. Thanks for the kind words. When I first came across it, it rang a bell in my heart fo' sho'. I'm a put in a excerpt from a small book entitled 'The Kybalion', a book on Hermetic Philosophy. Published by 'Yogi Publicaction Society', authored by "Three Initiates". From ch.6 -the Divine Paradox -- "So, we need not dwell upon the feature of illusion. Rather, let us recognizing the real nature of the Universe, seek to understand its mental laws, and endeavor to use them to the best effect in our upward progress through life, as we travel from plane to plane of being. The laws of the Universe are nontheless "Iron Laws" because of the mental nature. All, except THE ALL, are bound by them. What is IN THE INFINITE MIND OF THE ALL is REAL in a degree second only to that Reality itself which is vested in the nature of THE ALL. So, do not feel insecure or afraid -- we are all HELD FIRMLY IN THE INFINITE MIND OF THE ALL, and there is naught to hurt us or for us to fear. There is no Power outside of THE ALL to affect us. So we may rest calm and secure. There is a world of comfort and security in this realization when once attained. Then "calm and peaceful do we sleep, rocked in the Cradle of the Deep", resting safely on the bosom of the Ocean of Infinite Mind, which is THE ALL. In THE ALL, indeed, do "we live and move and have our being". This passage I enjoy and it rings to my heart too. Hermes Trismegistus was an ancient philosopher/teacher who was around maybe eight to then thousand years ago. When was Abraham around? If legends be true, Hermes Trismegistus, was an insrtuctor of that venerable sage. Apparently lived in old Egypt, when the present race of men were in it's earliest infancy. I've not committed the passage to memory, but do have a fragment or two meorized and use them as infrequent prayers or brief meditations (like two-three minutes) haha. Solar wind is blowing and my mind I think is going so I must continue flowing in the going. Loveth to alleth, flapjack |
