TODAY... LET US CONSIDER SOME ELEMENTS OF REALITY...

FOR INSTANCE... the terms Truth, Soul, Existence, Spirit [Spirituality], MIND, and God.  All of these terms are "abstract" terms in that we know the names and definitions for these terms, however...it is the truly rare individual who has  actually experienced the REALITY these terms stand for.

That is, to find an individual who has actually experienced what these abstract terms "stand for"!  In point of fact, the only people who have actually experienced all of what these terms stand for would be a Perfect Living Master... or someone like Christ, or one of many such Souls throughout history whose purpose for being on Earth was and has always been to draw to themselves specific Souls who God has determined are "ready" to begin their journey back Home to the Pure Spiritual Realm... which is a realm we refer to as God, or Reality, which means  the "Existence" of Reality... in a dimension that is entirely invisible to Man.

One such group of people would be those who have been Initiated into the Spiritual Path known as "Sant Mat"... or the" Path of the Saints" . The "Home" of this group is known as Radha Soami Satsang Beas. Or, Dera Baba Jaimal Singh.  Punjab 143204, India.

I first heard of this group in the early 1970's.  I was invited to attend a meeting of a group by a veteran-student of my acquaintance when I was teaching in a university in Illinois. I was not particularly impressed with that first meeting. but that young student also loaned me a book to read...and that book awakened from somewhere "Within" me a great longing to discover more about this organization. And that was how I came onto the Spiritual Path that I have followed for the last 50 plus years.

Some time ago I created the following illustration:

In this illustration I have introduced 4 circles. #1 is the physical dimension [or what Man can physically perceive]. #2 is the Astral Plane, or the Lower MIND. #3 is the CausalCausal Plane, or the Higher MIND. And #4 is the Pure Spiritual Realm, or what we refer to as God... and the Home of each Soul...who is in a life-form on Earth.

The only realm the physical senses of Man can perceive is #1, the physical realm  of the Creation. #2, 3, and 4, are all invisible to the physical senses of Man.  However, Man is unique because only in Man can a Soul discover the otherwise invisible dimensions which make-up the Whole Human Being. And that will be the subject of our next blog.

A NEW BLOG...in search of TRUTH.

 A NEW BLOG for those who are curious about the Soul, and about Truth.

 

As an old man... I will have completed 90 years in May... I am on the downside of my existence on this Earth Plane.  And my life has been interesting, and at times difficult, and almost always surprising.

I have also been blessed with a mostly invisible purpose in this life that I slowly awakened to over the last fifty years.  It is that mostly invisible life that I would like to share with other Souls who may or may not have been following a similar path?   Or some pathway that to them seems a bit peculiar?


To begin, allow me to share a bit about how I view the Truth?  I believe Truth (capital "T"Truth) can only be found within the Pure Spiritual Realm of existence.   That is, the Pure Spiritual Dimension is then the only Reality there is.  I once heard a Mystic say that nothing of the physical dimension is real.  Think about that for a moment...  That means that what we think is real.... isn't real.  If not real, what then is it?

Well, mystics tell us that what we know as this physical plane of existence is an Illusion.  An Illusion?  That is a bit hard to accept, isn't it?  But, over the last fifty  years, I have become convinced that what the mystics tell us is the Truth. ...But think about what I am saying for a few minutes. How come all of us are aware of the Soul, and yet... who do you know who has seen a Soul?  Or can tell you where you can find the Truth?  Or God, or Reality?

So, this blog is about those things we believe to exist, but we have no proof of their existence... or do we? 

Peace, 1Brother James

A LETTER TO PRESIDENT TRUMP...

 DEAR PRESIDENT TRUMP...

I AM A VET, AND I AM 90 YEARS OLD [IN MAY], AND I WONDER IF YOU ARE AWARE OF THIS:

A NEW ORGANIZATION IS BEING FORMED IN GOVERNMENT, HEADED BY SOME OUTFIT UNDER THE LABEL:   "ID.me".... and all communication between we vets and our doctors is being taken over by this new arrangement by one or more bureaucrats in Washington. 

I have had to fill out forms, and go to the post office to have someone verify that I am me.  Then I have to take a picture of my Driver's license and send it, along  with a picture of my Social Security card, to some outfit in Government.  And every time I need to contact my doctor, it takes over an hour on the phone... only to be told that I have to go through the process of PROVING IT IS ME ALL OVER AGAIN.

AND NOW, BEFORE I CAN CONTACT MY DOCTOR... I HAVE TO WADE THROUGH ENDLESS ADS AND SOLICITATIONS BY ALL KINDS OF ORGANIZATIONS SELLING STUFF.

SURELY SOME ONE IN DC CAN PUT AN END TO THIS?

SINCERELY,  James Patterson [esodoc@gmail.com].

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN Intellect & Knowledge?

 Your intellect is your brain "thinking" what your MIND wants it to think. Knowledge is as aspect of Consciousness, which is what ...
