PHILOSOPHY - The Love and Pursuit of Wisdom gained through Direct Experience

It seems that modern Philosophy, Academia and "Intellectualism" have become void of the Esoteric Truths, the Ancient universal Wisdom, and have covered up and concealed truth with lies and Dogma.

If we are to solve the fundamental problems facing humanity a reemergence of the wisdom of aeons past must come to light to dispel superstition and dogma and clarify the half truths accepted by so many without their own independent research, that is to take knowledge and verify it via direct experience to gain Wisdom.

We are in this 21st century, so steeped in Materiality that what is pawned off as knowledge is strictly exoteric in nature. The truths once known are now concealed in Parable, Mythology, and Symbolism, misinterpreted, taken literally and generally misunderstood. This is due not only to ignorance, but also fear and the easily corruptible mind of the average person.

All knowledge, both sides, the Good and the Evil (Duality & Polarity of Human consciousness), the popular and the unpopular must be examined. The Great minds of the past, Jesus - The Nazarene, The Buddha, The Vedics, Plato, Aristotle, Socrates, Pythagoras, Hermetics, Alchemy, the sciences & Metaphysics of long ago, with more recent minds such as Carl Jung, M.P. Hall, Clymer, Lewis, Bacon & St. Germain taught the Esoteric, concealed in parable and myth, and were very much aware of universal truth, and the Natural Laws by which everything is ruled.

Some sought personal gain, and selfish & manipulative means via this knowledge, others seek light, truth, love and compassion.

Love is the way to inner peace. Inner peace is the way to love.
Love being the divine power & truth and not the emotion humans attribute to the word. Truth is that which above all else is known in the heart, through love and inner peace, via direct experience. We are all connected to the divinity inherent in all that is. The source of all creation is ONE. We are not separate from the one, from the eternal spark. We are one with the fire of the soul within that burns to awaken, to breathe, to live, to be....

Within each is the choice to experience. To become who we are truly meant to be. To see beyond the illusion of the material world and the physical senses. A chance too embrace life as a gift, as a lesson, as the mystery it is. To rise above the lower world and lower self to climb the ladder of knowledge. To ascend the levels and rise like the phoenix to become one with all that is nature, the universe, to see the microcosm and macrocosm as one, as above...so below

The opportunity to glimpse the realization that humanity is of divinity and to shed the ego and view all as ONE is the way to truth, to peace, to destiny.

Personal Responsibility

In all my studies in Search of Truth, Philosophy, Spirituality, Consciousness, the Metaphysical & the Political I have become a Realist. My Philosophy remains an ever evolving open book, looking at things as The Cup half full always, but In the process I have killed all of my illusions, grown cynical of current politics and of false "hope". I have come to understand human nature, learned to see through Dogmas and come to a better understanding of why things are the way they are.
But this is all Illusion, it only holds power over you as long as you give that power away. It is all part of the Process by which humanity is awakening to its true purpose.

It is better to look at things as they truly are and not make excuses for the way things appear. I have seen through the veil, a glimpse of what could have been, what will be and what is now...

It comes down to personal responsibility in all aspects of ones life, and countless hours of soul searching, going within ones mind through meditation as the key to unlocking the secrets of this life. The answers to happiness, or the pursuit of it. It is personal responsibility for ourselves that will save us as individuals, and as a collective whole. I remember a famous quote, through many years of reading every book I could get my hands on ,"Faith without works is Dead". This is very true. To merely believe in something without doing the work needed to accomplish the goal is pointless.

Hope is one of the most manipulated and empty words there is these days. It is wishing that something will happen without doing the work needed to accomplish it. For example; "My dog has been hit by a car, but I am not going to the vet, I just hope he will recover". Hope and Complacency as a symptom of inaction has become an excuse for not doing something or ignoring the problems we ALL face, in the "hope" that everything will just work itself out and we will avert whatever we are running away from or avoiding.

It is by placing Hope in others, such as politicians and others to do things for us, the things that we should do for ourselves.

Instead of Hoping we should DO. Through personal responsibility and action alone we can change our world, our lives and our reality. Faith is not something to be thrown away, but placing Hope for change by sitting idle and waiting for some Politician, Savior or date on some ancient calendar to just come along to save us from ourselves is mindless arrogance and ignorance of the way the universe works, it is but a slow suicide in truth.

The reality of the situation is that we stand at the most crucial time in modern recorded human history. The Clock is now at 11:59, or maybe it is 12:01 and everyone is just lost staring like a deer in the head lights, it is a staring contest, a carnival of illusions, waiting for someone or something to move or happen so that we might all get on board and cast off these chains of complacency.

The moment we can begin LIVING life as it is truly meant to be experienced and not this slave based rate race we find ourselves in. It is about creating a better world for ourselves, for our children and our grandchildren. It is about unveiling the illusion that is ruled by corruption and greed and replacing it with truth and love. It is beyond time for us to begin acting like we are the most advanced beings to ever grace this floating rock.

It comes down to the fact, that we are the ones we have been waiting for. There is no difference between us, not of race, color, creed, religion, liberal or conservative, democrat or republican or any other contrived and created difference or label we have imagined for ourselves. We humans are good at creating things to prove our diversity while all we are really doing is dividing and splitting ourselves away from each other. We are all one and the same, human beings, all trying to do the same thing, to simply live and provide the best we can. To experience and to attempt to contemplate our place in this universe.

The Games must stop now. We must stop living in imaginary worlds, distracting ourselves from the truths that are so blatantly obvious so we feel better about feeling so helpless. We must reclaim our power and rise up and shout ENOUGH! We must become the change we want to see in the world. We must evolve , Revolt and cast off the old ways that only enslave the mind and soul. We must become what we are meant to be...

No corrupt or evil power hungry man, or Government, or Religion has the right to hold power and dictate the lives of others.

So enough making excuses, enough deceiving ourselves or waiting around for someone else to come and save us, we must do it ourselves, we must do it soon and we must do it right.

We must do the work needed to make it happen ourselves as well. No one else will do it for us.....Take Personal Responsibility and stand up, learn true knowledge, gain wisdom, regain your personal power in this world...

The time is Now

Mike Eggleston - 2008

The Emerald Tablet of Hermes:

True, without error, certain and most true; That which is above is as that which is below, and that which is below is as that which is above, for performing the miracles of the One Thing; And as all things are from one, by the mediation of one, so all things arose from this one by adaptation; The father of it is the Sun, the mother of it is the Moon; the Wind carried it in its belly; the name thereof is the Earth. This is the father of all perfection, or consummation of the whole world. The power of it is integral, if it is turned into earth; Thou shalt separate the earth from the fine, the subtle from the gross, gently, with much sagacity; It ascends from earth to heaven, and again descends to earth: and revives the strength of the superiors and of the inferiors. So thou hast the glory of the whole world; therefore let all obscurity flee before thee. This is the strong fortitude of all fortitudes, overcoming every subtle, and penetrating every solid, thing. So the world was created. Hence were all wonderful adaptations of which this is the manner. Therefore am I called Thrice Great Hermes, having the three parts of the Philosophy of the whole world. That which I have written is consummated concerning the Operations of the Sun.
