Signposts of the Journey

All roads lead to an interconnected Oneness. Signposts, to me, are those phrases or thoughts in writings that catch our attention and help us choose the path that is right for us. It may not be the one that any author of said writings is traveling, yet these thoughts provide direction to the same destination through a different landscape. The journey is ours.

In the study of ourselves in relation to the Whole lies the awakening of the inner man to a full consciousness of our respective part which we must play in the scheme of creation. Here again man is baffled by what seems to be a great division of force. This is due to the limitations of the conscious facilities by space-time. Yet there is open to every individual a door through which he may pass to obtain a new vision. This door leads to the inner self. ‘We must, in spite of our three-dimensional, finite, physical viewpoints, understand the inner, infinite, higher-dimensional experiences that the inner subconscious mind may be induced to bring through imagination into our consciousness, but which visioning, hunches, premonitive or intuitive thoughts, experiences, or spontaneous ideas we will fail to understand, unless we know something of the logic of the higher-dimensional viewpoint.’¹

Thanks to God, in his infinite wisdom, who has provided the knowledge for those who seek.

Ecclesiasticus 39: 1-8 (New Revised Standard Version)

¹He seeks out the wisdom of all the ancients, and is concerned with prophecies;

²He preserves the sayings of the famous and penetrates the subtleties of parables;

³He seeks out the hidden meanings of proverbs and is at home with the obscurities of parables.

⁴He serves among the great and appears before rulers; he travels in foreign lands and learns what is good and evil in the human lot.

⁵He sets his heart to rise early to seek the Lord who made him, and to petition the Most High; he opens his mouth in prayer and asks pardon for his sins.

⁶If the great Lord is willing, he will be filled with the spirit of understanding; he will pour forth words of wisdom of his own and give thanks to the Lord in prayer.

⁷The Lord will direct his counsel and knowledge, as he meditates on his mysteries.

⁸He will show the wisdom of what he has learned, and will glory in the law of the Lord's covenant.²

I shall not call you servants anymore, because a servant does not know his master's business; I call you friends, because I have made known to you everything I have learned from my Father.

John 15:15³

As above, so below. Hermes Mercurius Trismegistus

Science without religion is lame, religion without science is blind.

Albert Einstein

Everyone who is seriously involved in the pursuit of science becomes convinced that a spirit is manifest in the laws of the Universe.

Albert Einstein

All knowledge is to be used in the manner that will give help and assistance to others, and the desire is that the laws of the Creator be manifested in the physical world.

254-17

Though the evidence, both physical and thoughtful, may be found throughout the world, as guideposts, it is through the temple within where the finite may merge with the infinite when we see the footprints of God.
