THE HERMETIC WRITINGS
3rd Century
BECOMING EVERYTHING IS JUST ANOTHER METHOD OF BECOMING NOTHING. IF YOU GO FAR ENOUGH EAST YOU’LL ARRIVE AT THE WEST.
BUT BE CAREFUL. THE PERSON WHO SAYS, “I AM GOD” MAY BE A RAVING EGO-MANIAC. IF YOU ARE EVERYTHING, OR EVEN IF YOU ARE ANYTHING, WHY SAY IT? ISN’T IT BETTER TO SIT IN THE BACK YARD, WATCHING GOD WITH GOD’S EYES?
If you don’t make yourself equal to God, you can’t perceive God; for like is know by like. Leap free of everything that is physical, and grow as vast as that immeasurable vastness; step beyond all time and become eternal; then you will perceive God. Realize that nothing is impossible for you; recognize that you too are immortal and that you can embrace all things in your mind; find your home in the heart of every living creature. Make yourself higher than all heights and lower than all depths; bring all opposites inside yourself and reconcile them; understand that you are everywhere; on the land, in the sea, in the sky; realize that you haven’t yet been begotten, that you are still in the womb, that you are young, that you are old, that you are dead, that you are in the world beyond the grave. Hold all this in your mind, all times and places, all substances and qualities and magnitudes; then you can perceive God.
Wanting to know God is the road that leads to God, and it is an easy road to travel. God will come to meet you everywhere, he will appear to you everywhere, at times and places when you don’t expect it, while you are awake and while you are asleep; while you are traveling and while you are at home, while you are speaking and while you are silent; for there is nothing in which God does not exist; And don’t think that God is invisible. Who is more evident than God? That’s why he made all things, so that through all things you can see him.

You are right Panacea,
This world is full of Bullies or Petty Tyrants… forceful, abusive, intimidating; aggressively dominating others … predictable, often repeated and habitual (as described in dictionary – within imbalance of social or physical power). But also could provide powerful lessons and help to develop inner strength. Dunno, maybe or maybe not.
And all of our thoughts are just a clouds ... some do create the most spectacular sunsets ...
and i meet God through the people like you Hopi ... :))
Thank you Stick ... ;)
i am kind of lost for my own words so i will use Heraclitus (6th century BCE)
"All things Flow.
The sun is new every day.
Opposition brings together, and from discord comes perfect harmony.
From all, one; and from one, all.
You can't step twice into the same river.
You won't discover the limits of the soul, however far you go.
Eternity is a child playing checkers.
The hidden harmony is better than the obvious one.
It is in change things find rest.
To men, some things are good and some are bad. But to God, all things are good and beautiful and just.
The way up and the way down are one and the same"
I just met God through this text :)
~Also happy to see you back in the mix, dear Ara... your fine tuned perception & insight are always appreciated. Thank you for b e i n g You. Sending you a jolt of Light & Healing Energy, as I am keenly aware of how difficult it can be, at times, to navigate through this experience we call Life. Finding the strength to walk through seemingly insurmountable challenges is what ultimately defines who we really are... Spiritual Beings having a Human experience, walking the path of remembering our true origins & birthright... Unity-Consciousness. Like brother Luke, I find deep satisfaction in posts like The Hermetic Writings... because they provide a meaningful glimmer of the interconnectedness of everything, of how, despite what my mind will tell me, there is Divine order... a story unfolding that will instantly rightsize my deepest fears as illusion, as tools to be used for my ongoing Awakening & a means to assist in Humanities collective Return to Our Belonging... a place of sublime co-creation where honoring each other is a effortless as breathing air, because we real'eyes' we're all reflections of one another... & equally as important, biophysical extensions & caretakers of our Planet. ~InLight555

true Luke .... ;)) poli - ticks is a nasty business ... but it's obviously shows us what kind of stage we are at .... some body mentioned that we are 'diverse' individuals ... maybe in our potential? I don't see it yet .... looking at the world it seems that 'its very narrow minded directive' .... one thing is bigger than another, the ability to concentrate is 'sad'
i was wondering about that too Panacea,
i am still in deep woods ... not much i can do about it .... just learning how to adjust my sailing .... so posting is one thing, however answering is a bit challenging for me right now ... 'with effort' ... ;)) to keep up with ever changing Universe is ...
It takes courage Suiris to be lost and broken .... only strong people like yourself can allow it ... and then you can find yourself and shine your light through the broken cracks of physical shell .... and pain letting you know that you are still alive and that Universe is not done with you ....
I aggree, Panacea, I love Ara to bits, so happy to see her. Personally, I like postings like these, which probe into the human psyche and encourage us to delve deeper into the Rabbit Hole for answers to the more burning questions about life, the Universe and everything and multi dimensional/ high vibrational content is always a welcome addition to the forum.
I think, when those who post high frequency content, its because they themselves are obviously vibrating on a high frequency, and thats not to detract from those who are more focused on, shall we say, "alternative news media" kinds of postings. On a personal level, I just prefer higher conciousness input, such as this post and quite a number of others.
I find a lot of the political stuff to be "energy draining" in a way, therefore, I pay little heed to it, besides the fact I think it actually feeds into the shitstem, perhaps, unbeknownst to the members who are very focused on it. However, everything has its place, so I'm not "detracting" from say the.. eh.. (US election.. cough, sorry, a frog in my throat) discussion choices, or diminshing the worth or value of them, it's just that there are more worthy and more valuable gems to feast our eyes upon, rather than old paradigm illusory world view cotton wool, pulled over the eyes and moreso, over the mind, by the manipulative hidden hand of the Archontic agenda.
Again however, the flowering of conciousness guarantees that peoples focus shifts from lower (egoic) to higher "truth vibration" frequency, and the passage of time will eventually see to it that everyone spreads their wings (broadens the perspective or opens their mind). It will undoubtedly be accompanied by a "what the fu@k was I thinking?" moment, meanwhile, the rest of us are busy playing quantum mechanics, drinking Mai Tais and eating coconut pancakes while digging out multi dimensional gold way down the Rabbit h@le.
I'll swallow all the bitter pain, for the love and beauty I wasn't able to be. For the disappointment of truth turned bizarre, something we all mean.
I'll smile in your face, with tears, before leaving here to be true, at last.
You understand that you're pa for this? You understand that?
My evey evey teeth teeth hurt and my bones crumble crumble with electricity, but you won't get a single answer, but painful electricity, but painful silence, earth.
