It’s All About “Lengthening Our Radius”

“The Universe is mental”.

To me — for now — , the Cosmic Nous is something like the “maximum degree” of intellectuality. So, the “minimum degree” of it, is the intellectuality/the thinking of the human with the narrowest perception/the “least” consciousness. And — again — , as the person expands more and more, and touches wider levels of consciousness, the earthly mind reaches the Nous/the divine Mind/ The Divine.

Human, as a radar & Philosophy.

I see the human being as a radar. From the way I expressed my viewpoint above, you can understand why. The more the self-awareness, the more the lengthening of the radius. And, more of the eternal Truth can be “captured” by “me”, the radar. That’s why I never see myself as superior to the people who — as I can understand — are of a narrower perception than mine. I don’t get angry with them. Also, I don’t see myself as inferior to those of a wider perception than mine. Each of us just stands on a different point of the route. All of us will fully uncover our divinity. In this “cycle”, or in a next one.

I borrowed three of the Seven Laws of The Universe, and I exposed the way I connect them to the divine, and also to the earthly life. I could have said all these in another way. Hermes Trismegistus (or/and Thoth) could have given “his” place to philosophers/poets/writers/deities of another “nationality”. It doesn’t matter. The wisdom of these Laws has been expressed in different wording by many humans who had touched wider levels of consciousness within the human history.

These Laws, are proved EVERY DAY; if someone REALLY observes.

They are the evidence that Philosophy (being friends with the wisdom, as the etymology of the corresponding Greek word says), is NOT something theoretical. It REALLY has practical usage.

And of course, a …friendship with wisdom, isn’t a privilege of those who wrote philosophical texts. It’s in the writings of poets, in the words of Jesus Christ, Buddha, etc, in a conversation you have with a beggar dressed in rags, or in a story narrated by a very old woman in a poor village. The list could go on forever… Whoever manages to be expanded to broader levels of consciousness — even without having read any philosophical text — , is a Philosopher.

Theoretical Knowledge-Practical Experience

For many years, people around me used to identify me as the one who reads a lot. I did read a lot. Since I was 19 years old, I used to read philosophical texts, basically because I felt a strong attraction for my ancestors’ wisdom. Of course, I wasn’t reading only philosophy or only books of ancient Greek science, spirituality, etc; other civilizations have also contributed a lot in humanity’s evolution, but ancient Greek spirit was a strong motive for my researches. Yet, I can assure you that NOTHING was REALLY understood by me until I put myself into the battle-field of DOING something with this theoretical knowledge.

Experimenting, self-reflection, self-observation, long and inconvenient conversations in front of a “mirror”. Experience is pure gold if you also observe yourself while living it.

Divine energy/Feminine-sexuality/human sexuality

To me, shakti is one with the earthly feminine sexuality. I don’t know about you, but I usually need visualizing in order to “see” clearly. So, It’s like this energy is an axis, a vertical bridge. Its one edge is on earth, and the other one, up in the sky/within the Universe.

When the perception is narrow, and the person acts mostly pushed by instincts, he/she uses that energy with the least possible “wisdom”. As the consciousness expands, that energy is going closer to the upper edge.

Sex is not evil. Sexuality isn’t dirty. Everyone manifests sexuality in a way commensurate with the degree of their consciousness’ expansion. It’s also our motive, our “why” that makes the difference.

A woman/I may have sex just to have sex. I may be dressed in a certain way just to be seen. I may act in a certain way that “begs” for men’s attention, because I grew up without a father and I didn’t get the attention I needed at a specific age. I can use my power in a way that shows a need for identifying myself through others’ opinion, etc. OR, as I become “wider”, as I use my mind more, as I lead the mind towards the Nous, as I increase self-consciousness, I can manage my sexual energy, I can listen to my instincts without being guided by them, I can use the magical unification-process of sex to connect in many levels with another human being, I can also use that energy to create, to transmit messages, to interact in an inspired and inspiring way. I can be self-realized, Self-identified, autonomous. I can honor both my material and my divine essences, I can… I can…

I can, as long as I have the guts to undress every action-reaction-thought of mine, every interpretation of the events and the situations I’m in, from EVERY fear and EVERY expectation of my personality; as long as I tirelessly try to be aware of the motives that come from the black box of my subconscious; as long as I face myself directly, with responsibility.

Because Reality is whatever remains after that undressing. And, the omnipresent shakti in me, is the Reality that was forgotten with the embodiment. In order for me to do this wonderful journey and return to the Source…
