Knowledge is the Light of Cosmos

“When man’s thoughts rise upon the wings of aspiration, when he pushes back the darkness with the strength of reason and logic, then born into the light gnosisindeed the builder is liberated from his dungeon and the light pours in, bathing him with life and power.
 
This light enables us to seek more clearly the mystery of creation and to find with greater certainty our place in the Great Plan, for as man unfolds his bodies he gains talents with which he can explore the mysteries of Nature and search for the hidden workings of the Divine.

Spell 83: Spell for being transformed into a phoenix.

I have flown up like the primeval ones,

The flood which was between them. (more…)

This morning our purpose is to analyze certain aspects of the human mind in connection with the mysterious case of the Flying Saucers. First of all I would like to create a little parallel, something that will help folks to see just what we are up against in a matter of this kind.

Quite a number of years ago a famous stage magician by the name of Harry Keller created a strange illusion, he perfected in stage magic the Illusion of levitation. Keller, who was a very able exponent of the art of conjuring, worked out a method by the means of which the human body could be suspended in the middle of a well lighted stage without any visible means of support.
