Let me invite you to a web site which is full of some of the
greatest information you'll find anywhere: http://www.universalgnostic.com/. And on the
front page, you'll find two of the most exciting!
I'll leave "The Heiroglyphic Monad" for another time. Right
now, I'd like to talk about "The Severn Sermons Of The Dead" by
Basalides of Alexandria, as translated by Carl Gustav
Jung.
These seven sermons deal with a great deal, but more than anything
else, it is perhaps one of the best sets of writings dealing with
what many of us know as either the Law Of Polarities or the Law Of
Opposites. Most books, including some very good ones which
have probably been recommended to you, mention that such a law
exists, and gives mention to the obvious fact that there are
polarities. This work goes the additional step and tells us
how to work with them and deal with them.
Believe it or not, some spiritual paths do not really address
balance or polarities except in a black-and-white of way, kind of
like "good guys" and "bad guys" in an old cowboy movie in which the
"good guy" always wore a white hat and didn't cuss, and the "bad
guy" looked like he needed a bath. And no wonder some of
their followers encounter spiritual frustration - it's impossible
to be "good enough."
Well, here is a different approach, making use of
balance.
I can't recommend "The Severn Sermons Of The Dead" enough,
and I'm using this episode to introduce them to you.
They were an eye-opener for me, that is certain! Enjoy this,
and have fun with it!
Blessed Be!
