Enlightenment
(I plan on sending this newsletter out whenever new material
is posted or there are new site developments, to a limit of
no more than once every two weeks. It has been assumed that
you would be interested in this newsletter, either through contact
you initiated with the site, my own personal acquaintance, or
someone else who has forwarded it to you. If you are not interested
in receiving further issues, just reply and let me know; let
me know why only if you want to. If you would rather just receive
a simple link to this page instead of the full download due
to a slow phone line connection, I can accomodate that too.)

Well...
I'm done.
The
project that I began nearly 18 months ago is complete. My Grimoire
and Tree of Life were intended as a series of magical spells to
accelerate my Soul's development on it's Journey of Enlightenment.
It seems to have been quite successful, as I now can say that
I understand the true nature of reality to the extent that my
limited brain will allow. I can never see the entire answer all
at once or communicate it without resorting to tautologies. This
is not due to the limitations of my mind, but is a necessary fact
of reality. It is like we are all blindfolded and feeling around
an elephant. The person grabbing the tail thinks it is a serpent,
the person grabbing one of the legs thinks it's a tree, the one
touching his side thinks it's a wall. As what we feel with our
hands is the extent of our experience of the elephant, we cannot
possibly fathom where everyone else came up with their completely
absurd ideas as to the true nature of the beast. So it is with
reality. Enlightenment is not about seeing the elephant all at
once, it's the realization that the Truth is something bigger
than you can ever understand on your own. The best you can do
is listen to what everyone has to say with the knowledge that
whatever it is they think, they are correct, at least to a certain
extent. I guess, having completed this stage of my own personal
quest, the best advice I have to give to others in search of the
Truth is... believe everything you hear.
As I
was putting the finishing touches on my last spell, I was also
reading a book entitled 'Theories of Everything' by John D. Barrow.
(Just so you know, I don't recommend this book to anyone unless
they are OK with a wordy and dry (but very thorough) presentation
of the current state of scientific knowledge.) In the beginning
it made me angry enough to get a headache. The belief, held by
many physicists, that a quantum theory of gravity would explain
everything in the universe made my blood boil. (Then he went on
to mention how he, and other reputable scientists, have to put
up with the 'eccentrics' who send him their 'Theories of Everything'
all the time. You know, that's something I'd considered doing
at one time. OK, I'm eccentric, so was Einstein.) Thankfully,
in the second half of the book, he delved much deeper into the
question of consciousness and the current philosophies regarding
it, ultimately concluding on the final page:
"No
non-poetic account of reality can be complete."
Aaaaaah.....
sweet vindication, for this is exactly why I presented my Theory
of Everything,
The
Tree of Life, the way I did. Although intended as contemplative
tool mostly for myself, I present it on the Interent for anyone
else it resonates with.
