Within Pt. II

We have reasoned that the Divine seed lies within every man. How we tend this seed and whether we raise it up to enlightenment or bring it down unto corruption is up to us. Quite clearly the seed within is precisely that, a seed, Divine in nature in that it brings forth eternal fruits, either under the careful hand of Spirit, or under a wanton and carnal hand. Remember, it is your hand that crafts the present state and the future spheres of existence. Never let it be said that circumstance or even fate has forced itself upon our own individual canvas. We hold the brush and we make the brush strokes that shape and form our own realities. This axiom is known in Hermetic circles as the “Mental Universe” which we will explore in a future post.

And if man yields only to the flesh with no regard to Spirit?

“For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting.” -Epistle of Paul to the Galatians

How many amongst us walk in bitterness and self destruction while raising the banner of complete freedom?

“While they promise them liberty, they themselves are the servants of corruption: for of whom a man is overcome, of the same is he brought in bondage.” –Peter

Clearly we see that in everyday life there are those that choose a lesser road, a road of carnal pleasure alone, with no regard to Spirit. Since the principles of the universe dictate cause and effect, their reward is laid in front of them; fleeting, temporary, shallow and a poison to nature. No wonder they must always return to the same old song and dance, getting their temporary fill, nothing more than a mere addiction.

“As a dog returneth to his vomit, so a fool returneth to his folly.” –Proverbs

Those that choose a higher road, a road filled with introspection, transmutation, Spirit, charity and service will, naturally, through the same law of cause and effect elevate their status as children of God(s) and begin their upward ascent on the Divine Ladder that will lead them to realms of Light! Yes my dear Brothers and Sisters, our own human hands as well as our own human heart choose and craft such realities. The choice is between two roads, and for those that refuse to take any steps forward, will sink in the mire by default, slowly drowning the seed placed in their Souls by their Divine Parents. (The subject of “Soul” in relation to “Spirit” will also be examined in a future post).

"Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:

Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it." -Jesus the Christ

Ultimately, “If you do not bring forth what is within you, what you do not bring forth will destroy you” is the natural consequence of not cultivating, or worse yet, drowning the seed under flesh appetites and senses alone. The drowning seed will lie dead within your Soul, and in this, breed death, for each seed must multiply in its own sphere to fill the measure of its creation. Death is never the end, but the beginning, in this case, a beginning within the negative. There is never a destruction of matter, whether completely physical, or rather coarse Spirit or Vibrations, or of Spirit, or refined Spirit or Vibrations. Therefore, death opens the door to either darkness or Light. When these doors are opened and a dead seed is found at the threshold, it will be taken in to be reborn in negative spheres. In this case, the potential of the seed to germinate good fruit has been squandered. The Kingdom of G-d has not been brought forth. No one that is not of this Light will be able to endure its presence, therefore, destruction. Destruction of the inner potential you once held.

Let us all lift our eyes and begin to gaze and strive for a higher plane of existence. Let us all stand on higher ground. The knuckles of humanity have grazed the grass of the senses long enough. The Aquarian age is upon us, the Restoration has been initiated, it is time to act and move forward, transmuting ourselves first, and then, when we truly stand on higher ground, we will have the power to help raise those that wish to climb!

The following symbol has intrigued me for quite some time.
Perchance the next post.

Be One.
Peace & Blessings.
