One Altar

There is only one altar, all worship there and all worship returns there.  The ineffable God has no name.  The inconceivable God cannot be represented by any image.  The unfathomable God is the same throughout the faith traditions.  Hinduism's Brahman is Buddhism's Buddha-Nature is Judaism's YHWH is Christianity's Father is Islam's Allah.  The gods of the polytheists denote aspects of the God.  The core tenants of the faith traditions are the same throughout.  The details that the faith traditions disagree over are irrelevant.  The God has no name or image, as it contains all names and images within itself, thus all names and images ascribed to it are valid.  Name and image are worthwhile only insofar as they are useful.  The tree is known by its fruits.  If you have picked a path preordained by others, know that all other paths lead to the same place.  If you wish to progress beyond these preordained paths you must forge your own way.  There is no way but yours.  Worship no idol, suffer no intermediary and abolish all dogma.  Let the sacrifices you make be personal ones.  Let the rituals you undertake be offerings of Love.  Let the worship you exhibit be expressed in compassion.  Let the world be your temple.  Let your human family be your congregation.

    I have been trying to find the best way to say this and putting it in words that are very important to my heart and soul as I read it I find that it is very familiar to me as well as it should but it’s the first time I’ve ever read it and have never heard it before so how does this sound like it is known to me I believe it’s just that it is the way I feel and I think that everything I read is written by someone who has a Passion for truth and I believe it is the way I am understanding it.

There is naught to oppose but ourselves.

 A man of goodness must necessarily take issue with the current state of affairs.  He decries a world bent on its’ own self destruction.  The biospheric suicide of his own species, among others.  A mass of humanity subject to abject poverty, despite excess material conditions.  A world of despair and pain inflicted upon each other, by each other.  So the man of goodness makes inquiries upon whom he should address his concerns.  His local officials nod grimly, and some may even agree with his heartfelt pleas for change.  “We are doing the best we can with what we have.” or “This is just the way things are.” is their reply.  So the man of goodness is told to take his complaints to the state.  The state officials provide a similar story.  A man of goodness is a persistent one.  So he takes his complaints to the nation’s capital.  “Ah, my friend, you have no one to blame but yourselves!”  says the federal official.  ...

In Opposition to Evil

     The only risk we now face is in doing nothing.  If things stay as they are, then quite obviously, current trends will only continue.  Your standard of living will continue to worsen, and your wages will continue to stagnate.  The very basics of human life will continue increasing in cost, until even these are out of reach.  Your community will continue to deteriorate, and blight will continue to spread.  Your environment will continue to experience the natural disasters of climate catastrophe.  State violence will continue to proliferate, as it attempts to hold together a status quo that has no other option than to collapse under its own top heaviness.  Not only will these trends continue, but their current pace will only accelerate.  It is clear then that the risk is in not acting.  For in not acting, you relegate your fate to this creeping oblivion.  But in acting, you align yourself with the forces of life.  ...

Finding Your Path

Energy and consciousness form the fundamental polarity of phenomenal existence.  Energy affects consciousness and consciousness affects energy, both give rise to each other.  The dynamic interplay of the two ends of the experiential spectrum engenders the shared reality we live in.  Given their fundamental importance, one must cultivate their own energy and consciousness.  To do this, a rigorous scientific approach must be taken.  One is at once the experimenter, the experiment and the result.  The goal is a fullness of one's energy, to be used in the expression of Love, with a conscientious awareness, to direct one's energy as one wills.  To do this, the scientific method must be applied to every aspect of one's life.  Advice from teachers may be considered, but what is good for one, may bring harm to another.  There is no way but your way.  May you walk your path guided by Grace.  It is prudent to begin with the cultivat...
