Beyond

Man is ever craving for a beyond

He cannot live without an idea of some kind

As a beacon and consolation

This is as true today as when this was written many centuries ago

And another piece of writing as valid today as when it was written many years ago

Before the lethal breath of selfishness and indifference every uncomfortable fact is transformed into meaningless fiction, and every branch of the once verdant Tree of Truth has become dried up and stripped of its primeval spiritual significance

Yet all of us can make choices as to what we want to believe

.

Without spiritual understanding life slides down to a material plane where nothing lasts for long nor does it satisfy that need and loneliness inside

Throughout history men have had choices and some men and women of courage had the strength and conviction to state unpopular ideas

Ideas that were subsequently found to be true

Yet today we look back with the smug belief that our technically advancing society is in many ways superior to those civilisations of old

But we know almost nothing about them

Our view is of a few thousand years at most and that view itself is very biased

Were people then, so simple and credulous in the days of Pythagoras and Plato?

Were the millions in Babylonia and Egypt, of India and Greece, with their great sages to lead them, all fools

That during those periods of great learning and civilisation which preceded the year one of our era

- the later giving birth but to the intellectual darkness of medieval fanaticism -

so many otherwise great men should have devoted their lives to a mere illusion, a superstition called magic?

It would seem so, had one to remain content with the words and conclusion of modern Philosophy

Again these words were written many years ago, and have we learnt?

No we have not

We have no idea of the esoteric teachings of these great men for the simple reason that those teachings were and remain esoteric

Esoteric means hidden, or secret to use modern language

For all our so called progress we know less than they did about the workings of nature

Considerably less than they did about healing and the ability to control various aspects of nature

About using the elements, even about our real true history, our future, our potential human possibilities

The certain cyclical disasters that are coming our way

What to do?

Choose to follow the path yourself because as they well knew it is the only way out of endless lives of pain and struggle

Just an idea and if you do so decide then search out the perennial or secret wisdom because this is where you will find the truth of things

.

Setting you on the path as it is known, which in turn leads towards qualifying yourself to learn those esoteric secrets

.

Only through this can you find truth and see why these things have remained secret all these many many years

.

There is no magic only things we do not understand

.

Beyond, go beyond mind
