The Divine Oneness

My physiology is not opposed to my mentality but rather is integral to it. It is able-bodied identity to be studied, trained, controlled, and made helpful in my subjective wholeness, a mental condition rather than an objective locality.  This life orientation exalted and held steadily in mind invigorates my wholeness, continuing its ideality into the subsoil of my visceral subjectivity.  Thus the wording of my idea does not stop at poetic imagery but unites it with the scientific discovery that all identity must be self-identity.  It is vivifying to see the modern scientist finding his long sought self-sameness at last in mathematics, or in another less obscure form of metaphysics.  The scientific idealist can make manifest the psychic in every discipline or interest, the idenity in thought and thew, the divine oneness in pain and pleasure, harm and help, or bad and good.

March-April Newsletter is ready

Friends - once again the Institute of Scientific Metaphysics printed an article of mine, entitled, "You Should Live to See This."  I have published it on my website.  Rob

My Sense of Wonderful Wholeness

"Only my growing clearly conscious self-helpfulness can ever aid me to appreciate my wholeness-allness-oneness identity (divinity).  My practice of this self-insight is the well-spring of my ideology idealizing my solipsistic or mystic nature.  It is true of my solipsism as it is true of my selfishness itself: my problem cannot be that I am "too selfish", only that I am not sufficiently selfish about all of me (including my 'you'). " -- Dr. John M. Dorsey, University Professor, page 10

Earthquakes

The "God-idea" (Infinity) as it evolves in consciousness, is described in Matthew 24 and Luke 21. "What shall be the sign of the Christ...ye shall hear of wars and rumors of wars; see that ye be not troubled;...nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and there shall be famines and pestlilences, and great earthquakes in divers places (airplanes colliding, innumerable murders, terrorist groups, and starvation)...When ye see these things come to pass, look up, and lift up your heads, and know that the Kingdom of God is nigh at hand.' This is the view of Infinity as it unfolds in the langauge of paradox: loss is gain, nothing is something, destruction is construction - 'He who would gain his life must lose it.'

   The ancient prophets were masters of Science-fiction.  They had vivid imaginations and told the story of the God-idea in languge that could not fail to startle and shock.  Their interpretations of the mighty power of Truth, to overthrow the "establishment" - conditioned or static thinking -- is expressed in myth that has made the Bible a best-seller.  Infinity, Truth functioning in/as individual/universal consciousness to bring the Unknown into the known, the Invisible into the visible, the Unconscious into the conscious, does this so incredibly that it can only be interpreted through a remarkable story of this mighty force. 'And suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison wer shaken, and immediately all the doors were opened and everyone's hands were loosed."  Today, Truth and Love are still seen as earthquakes, famine, and pestilience, acts of violence,-- the dying of the old in the birthing of the new order.  This is the paradox of Infinity.

   'Our false views of life hide the eternal harmony and produce the ills of which we complain.'  All happenings whatever the name - inform me that I consciously am, and because of this fact, my Mind, Infinity, is my own Selfconscious divinity, the source of my health, wealth and happiness.

   Science is the understanding or capacity to see that the breaking up of material belief (conditioned thinking or personal sense) seen in the language of famine, pestilence, want and woe, is literally the action of Truth.  As long as matter is mistaken for the energy of Spirit, Infinity cannot be conceived except as destruction and construction, birth and death, good and evil, right and wrong.  However, what is breaking up is not a material world, but the supersititious belief that there is a world outside of Mind created by 'other' than one's own Self-divinity.

   Admitting the error of identifying the I with person instead of Principle, we cannot complain or do anything about the suffering incidental to that point of view.  Therefore, it is most important to let the suffering alone and live the Science, the discernment that 'whatever Is, perfectly Is.'  This discernment is the conscious thought, completely satisfied and satisfying, and is the Word made flesh, - the divine body."
Margaret Laird, Laird Letters 1975, Jan/Feb.)

The little fox

It was then that the fox appeared.
"Good morning," said the fox.
"Good morning," the little prince responded politely, although when he turned around
he saw nothing.
"I am right here," the voice said, "under the apple tree."
"Who are you?" asked the little prince, and added
"I am so unhappy."
"I cannot play with you," the fox said, "I am not tamed."
"Ah! Please excuse me, said the little prince.
But after some thought, he added
"What does that mean---'tamed'?"
"You do not live here," said the fox.  "What is it that you are looking for?"
"I am looking for men," said the little prince. "What does that mean---'tame'?"
"Men," said the fox, "They have guns, and they hunt. It is very disturbing. They
also raise chickens.  These are their only interests.  Are you looking for chickens?"
"No," said the little prince, "I am looking for friends.  What does that mean---
'tame'?"
It is an act too often neglected," said the fox. It means to establish ties.
"To establish ties?"
"Just that," said the fox, "To me, you are still nothing more than
a little boy who is just like a hundred thousand other little boys. And
I have no need of you.  And you, on your part have no need of me. 
To you, I am nothing more than a hundred thousand other foxes.
But if you tame me, then we shall need each other.
To me, you will be unique in all the world.  To you,
I shall be unique in all the world..."
"I am beginning to understand," said the little prince.  "There is a flower...
I think she has tamed me...
:It is possible," said the fox.  On the Earth one sees all sorts of things."

Thought is the "whole dignity of man," according to Pascal.  We must be free to doubt, to search, to prove all things.  Abstract reason is not enough.  Art escapes -- from the sterility of mere intellect.  Through imagination and passion, Art enhances our consciousness of Life.  But individual Soul seeks it own substance (Spirit) beyond the pageantry of Art. Both intellect and Art point to the necessity of faith, yet the myths, dogmas and rituals of the organized religions hinder thought and warp action.  All systems, religious as well as economic or aesthetic, are intricate devices for arresting the flow of thought and dimming the splendor of Love.   (paraphrased from "Bottle in the Sea" by Albert Guerard)

The DSW Newsletter

I keep promising a new Newsletter but haven't gotten to it yet.  I was invited to submit an article for the Jan.-Mar. Newsletter for the Institute of Metaphysical Science and did so.  It is to be published now and will be exerpted in the print version, with the full version on their web-site.  I did a kind of "story of my life" retrospective/introspective which you may find interesting.  You can find the full article on my website, under Newsletter.  Have a happy January.  Rob.
