Inspire Esotericly

[stewartedwards]

I am a bit reluctant to start this thread but as I have been asked to do so by someone I trust I will. While I am hesitant it will be interesting to see where it goes:

Stewart - your words 'inspire esoterically' have inspired me to ask you to start a thread on that subject. We can all add our little stories about people who have inspired us, ordinary people as well as the extraordinary people. Can you do that for us, please?

I suppose that I had better start. The people who have inspired me are many and varied and include:-

1. My children. Some of the wisest words that I have heard have come from them.
2. JK Rowling, a fellow poor person from Edinburgh (though she is now somewhat wealthy) who has been able to bring esoteric understanding to a new generation in a fun way.
3. James Cameron, for he knows how to touch hearts and how to educate esotericly in this century.
4. Some homeless people that I know, for they prove that material things have no bearing on human kindness.
5. The masonic world, though it would have to be said that equally I am also disappointed in many masons.
6. Inverness, now there is a place full of raw energy that inspires me enormously.

Esoteric inspiration is a tricky thing and often people who do it are unaware of the potent energy contained in their words and actions in life that flow through the fabric of our existence, acting like signposts directing the way for others and as keys helping some to open doors on their own journeys.

Mind you to me esoterics isnt some academic discipline, but it is part of the very fabric of our lives. I find it an absolute beauty to watch. Can scare the begeebies out of me at times (in a nice way) as I peel back another layer and see the intricate beauty of life in even more detail.

Pretty much everything in life can be boiled down to esoterics. On a sports forum recently, for example, where (the very fit and often materialistic people) tend to dislike us obese folk, I was explaining how esotericly the current "mania" about obesity wont resolve the issue, for it does not accord with the global energy connections that have combined to create the obesity phenomenon in the first place.

On the one hand I have a lot of sympathy for those who do run our world for no matter how good your esoteric knowledge is in a practical sense the law of unintended consequences, or even simply being unaware of what lies through the next door, could create unintended instabilities, but equally I do sometimes wonder how many of our high hied yins really do have a solid grasp of esoterics and how it translates into everyday mundane existence.

Still maat is slowly returning to this planet, even if many, perhaps understandably, seem to be doing their best to prevent it.

In a sense the esoteric understandings should stand under all our actions.

Thus through deeper understanding we are able to act more harmoniously with the rest of sentient life.

Even resistance to righteousness has its value. Through experiencing resistance those who seek to practice righteousness are tested in their understanding and their achievement. (Verb sap)

Indeed and this was something that I realised (perhaps surpisingly) pretty much immediately after I woke up one day and decided to make sense of life. As soon as I fathomed out that we get tested in life, little things, like arguments, and thatsometimes there are reasons behind the reasons which cause them etc, and that you had to do a lot of hard work to learn the lesson, I knew that life would retest to see if progress had been made. As the years passed I began to have a bit of fun with this, testing it, sometimes makingsure that while I understood the lesson I didnt incorprate it into my life, just to see what happened

It is a facinating and very rewarding esoteric area to explore, and assuming that you do learn the life lessons, very fast esoteric progress can be made as you unwravel the hidden mysteries. The intrinsic beauty of life really is simply astounding. And while I have done my bit I do have high aspirations that more and more people with come to see the esoterics at play in their daily life as this century progresses.

How true! Maybe that is why we never seem to have perfection anywhere in our social systems, they are part of the testing system.

In Mark Masononry, are the Overseers representing this idea?

Persistence, persistence, persistence.

Edgar Cayce, d 1945, was one of my very earliest teachers. Until I came across his name in a magazine on a flight to the USA I had never heard of him, then over a two week period his name was bought to me attention twice more. The third time his name caught my attention it was on a book spine which I read from about 6.5 metres away. That is most unusual! I remember thinking to myself “what the heck?!” and I went over and bought the first two books I saw, one was all about Cayce’s readings having to do with reincarnation and the other on Atlantis. And that selection at that time in my life was most odd too… I was a good mass going Catholic girl, who had not thought about either subject.

I read the book on reincarnation first and at one sitting, for me it was as if someone had drawn back the curtain and I saw for the first time how simple and beautiful the meaning of life was.

My first ‘mystical’ experience followed on shortly after that and I have never looked back.

It was Edgar Cayce’s source who stated emphatically “Mind, is the Builder”.

Here is a little sampler from Edgar Cayce - his source's interpretation for Revelations.

(Note: Edgar Cayce was never an author, other people wrote books about him and his Readings. Most readings were about health cures, and his cures are the source of some of what we take for granted today)

.

I could argue that the Overseers are the same as the Lords of Karma (recording angel) - each inspecting the material of its plane, ensuring that it is in due form and fitted to be part of the temple of the heavens.
