This article was taken (with permission) from the "Infinite Being" free weekly newsletter. If you are interested in receiving this newsletter go to www.infinitebeing.com or click on it's link in the side bar on this page. Freedom and Religion by Owen Waters While religious organizations are filled with many leaders who are pure of heart and uplifting in spirit, there are also leaders whose agendas are more self-serving. People often give away personal power to large institutions, religion included, and this attracts unscrupulous leaders who wish to pursue their quest for power over people. In the pursuit of power through religion, the primary weapon of conquest is fear. When fear has d...

| ……CURRENT FEATURE ARTICLE ……"THE PATH" |
| 2007-08-11 15:06:00 |
THE PATH by Gary Barnharta student of Theosophy and the Teachings of H.P. BlavatskyFellow friends and students, The Dali Lama, HP Blavatsky, Gautama Buddha, have stated various things about what we are calling "the path". These three, among others, have placed importance on the "message" or "dharma" and the importance of finding a trustworthy teacher.To quote the Dalai Lama, "The importance of finding a trustworthy teacher cannot be overemphasized ....." In his little book, "The Way To Freedom", he devotes a whole chapter to the importance of an appropriate teacher and the characteristics of the appropriate teacher. As we all surely know from experience as we progress in our education, in this case, what may simple be called philosophy or theosophy, or even dharma, we begin to recognize "l...

| THE 105 UNIVERSAL LAWS |
| 2007-08-01 15:19:00 |
Universal Laws105 Universal Laws(source unknown)All creation is governed by law. The principles that operate in the outer universe, discoverable by scientists, are called natural laws. But there are subtler laws that rule the hidden spiritual planes and the inner realm of consciousness. Contained within these laws (or conditions) is the true nature of matter. Knowledge of these laws has an effect upon the mental urges. Mind is the builder. Stay in full mindfulness of the application of Universal Law as related to self and to others, and know that in love all life is given, in love all things move. In giving one attains. In giving one acquires. In giving, love becomes the fulfillment of desire, guided and directed in the w...

| READ THIS BEFORE YOU DONATE YOUR ORGANS! |
| 2006-08-06 18:04:00 |
Dear friends and fellow seekers,Like many of us, I once believed being an organ/ tissue/ bone-marrow donor was is in the best interest everyone. My study of the Teachings over the years have shed a somewhat different light on the subject, especially (and I cannot stress this one caveat enough) when a donation is post-mortem. Please read the following, reproduced from the Rosicrucian Fellowship Teachings under the heading; “Societal Issues.” Only Love PrevailsDon Organ Transplants Question: What is your position on organ transplants which are becoming evermore prevalent? What happens to the seed atom of the donor during a heart transplant? In your opinion, what is the effect on people who donate ...

| SPACE and TIME TRAVEL by Owen Waters |
| 2006-08-06 11:43:00 |
Space and Time Travel by Owen Waters, author of "The Shift: The Revolution in Human Consciousness" Your physical body exists at a specific location in space and time. In order to relocate physically, you have to travel to the new location. Your mind, however, is free to roam to different locations and even to other points in time. In recent decades, Remote Viewing - the mental viewing of remote locations - has been developed into a highly disciplined method of obtaining information from other locations in time and space. Many people have experienced their own versions of this skill in the form of precognition or deja vu, where scenes that you suddenly recognize in your life are scenes that you had previously viewed while in...

Porter, Ph.D. are of supreme importance to all who are serious about seeking The Truth! "WHY?"; you ask?Welcome my friends, Each of you bring with you a lifetime of experiences and opinions, values and judgments, all of which have some bearing on who you are and, (not discounting where and how you were raised,) the influences (good and bad) that formed the choices you make. No one knows you better than you do! No one can tell you how to think or what to believe! But, if you choose to read beyond this point you may find it necessary to relax your guard a bit.

| DIVINE WISDOM |
| 2006-03-16 19:36:00 |
Divine WisdomExcerpts from the Rosicrucian Letters English Version by Robert Kruseman Do not try to study the highest of all the sciences, unless you have resolved in advance to enter the path of virtue, because those unable to feel the truth will not understand my words. Only those who enter God's kingdom will understand the divine mysteries and will learn the truth and wisdom, in proportion to their capability to receive the divine light of the truth. For those whose life consists only of the mere light of their intelligence, the divine mysteries of Nature will not be comprehensible, because their souls do not hear the words that the light promulgates. Only those who abandon their personal ego can know the truth, because the truth is only possib...

| THE FRATERNITY OF PERFECTED SOULS |
| 2006-02-14 16:55:00 |
THEOSOPHY, Vol. 14, No. 2, December, 1925 THE FRATERNITY OF PERFECTED SOULSTHEOSOPHY teaches the existence of a Fraternity of Perfected Souls. From its ranks have come to mankind its Savior-Teachers; some with a more exalted mission than others, but each fulfilling the requirements of the cycle for which He undertakes that mission. Some as Divine Kings, others as Holy Mendicants, all come to impress on the whole or a portion of humanity the same sublime truths which form the ancient Wisdom-Religion. Hence we find that underlying every ancient popular religion is the same Wisdom-Doctrine, one and identical, professed and practiced by the Initiates of every country. One body of Univer...

| BE YOUR OWN AUTHORITY by Owen Waters |
| 2005-12-14 09:13:00 |
Be Your Own Authorityby Owen WatersIn the 1960s, parents and teachers complained that the younger generation had less respect for authority than they did when they were that age. In the 1980s, parents and teachers complained that the younger generation had less respect for authority than they did when they were that age. In the 2000s, well, you get the picture. Every generation has progressed more in the same direction because The Shift is dissolving the old habit of submission to authority. Traditionally, organizations were run on hierarchies of authority. In order to work within a hierarchy, you were expected to surrender your willingness to think for yourself and, instead, obey orders without question. Human creativity was suppressed while such a str...

Esoteric Christianity refers to the occult study and the mystic living of the esoteric knowledge related to what adherents view as the "inner teachings" of early Christianity, seen as a Mystery religion. The term is originally associated with the Essenes and the Rosicrucians.Modern-day practitioners believe that the foundational teachings of Esoteric Christianity were publicly presented to the world in the early 20th century (1) in an effort to establish a future universal religion as mankind, with a more developed mind and will, walk forward to the understandings of universal Brotherhood. Its central aim is to aid each human being in his/her task of developing the G...

| CHRISTIAN MYSTICISM |
| 2005-12-10 15:35:00 |
The Practice of Christian MysticismWhile such phenomena are often associated with mysticism in general, including the Christian variety, for Christians the emphasis is elsewhere; specifically, the major emphasis in Christian mysticism concerns a spiritual transformation of the human person, such that they become, as some have put it, more fully human, or fully realized human persons, "created in the Image and Likeness of God." For Christians, this full realization of human potential is realized most perfectly in Jesus and is manifested in others through their association with Him, whether conscious, as in the case of Christian mystics, or unconscious, with regard to pers...

Transcribed here, verbatim, from an article first appearing in the November, 1959 issue of“The Mystic Light”RAYS FROM THE ROSE CROSS The Essenes Who Changed ChurchianityEnid S. Smith, Ph. D.PART 1Centuries before the Christian Era, the Essenes, in their great mystic Order with branches in many parts of the then known world, aspired, as their chief object in life, to the perfecting of their members in all righteousness that they might be worthy of God to bring into the world the Great Messiah. According to the records, esoteric and exoteric, Jesus was born within their Order, was trained by them during the “hidden years of his life” in their various branches and centers in Palestine, Egypt, Greece, India, Per...

| THE TWELVE DIMENSIONS OF CREATION – PART I |

The Twelve Dimensions of Creation – PART IReprinted here with the permission of Owen Waters from the "Infinite Being" News Letter, dated 9/11/05by Owen Waters,Editor, InfiniteBeing.comWhen I finally discovered the twelve dimensions of Creation, I was astounded by the symmetry of the Creator’s work. In physics, symmetry is a sign that a theory is viable, because nature exhibits symmetry in so many ways. I had been pursuing the nature of the structure of reality for decades, most especially in recent years. Then, one day in 2002, the keys of the universe just fell into place like some self-organizing jigsaw puzzle.Dimensions are measurable items, the variables of the universe. For example, space consists of three d...

The Twelve Dimensions of Creation - PART IIReprinted here with the permission of Owen Waters from the "Infinite Being" News Letter, dated 9/18/05by Owen Waters,Editor, InfiniteBeing.comDimensions are the fundamental building blocks of reality. Every physical object has three size dimensions (length, breadth and height) and exists at a specific location in space at a certain point in time. Space and time are generally accepted as the first four dimensions, but what could the others be? What fundamental building blocks make the expression of our universe possible? Matter is constructed of varying amounts of electro-magnetic force, so electrical energy and magnetic energy are both fundamental building blocks within the ...

We live in a conscious universe because the universe was created entirely from original consciousness. Every aspect of the universe, from stars to humans and even sunlight, are all composed of 100% original consciousness.Dimensions include the thr...
