In my own journey, I desire this only: 1) To live in conscious union with the Infinite Creator; 2) to follow the example set forth by Jesus of Nazareth; 3) to express the first two desires as a white, or positive, adept. What is an adept? All creatures return to the Source at some point. … Continue reading Adepthood

The Ankh Is the Crux Ansata: A Daskalos and Law of One Congruency
My two main sources of inspiration and understanding for over three years have been the Law of One and the Daskalos material. As I delved more deeply into both, intellectually, intuitively, and in higher realms, I have been putting together a list of things that jump out at me where I see some important overlaps. … Continue reading The Ankh Is the Crux Ansata: A Daskalos and Law of One Congruency
A Holy Merkaba: The Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory Be
I have experienced an interesting development in the noetical world when I pray the Our Father, Hail Mary, and Glory Be. I was taught these prayers as a young kid by my mom and we used to recite the Rosary together, especially during Lent. I've prayed the Rosary off and on over the years, mostly … Continue reading A Holy Merkaba: The Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory Be
Holy Saturday: The Archetypal Jouney Into Brokenness
I am indebted to Cynthia Bourgeault for her books, Wisdom Jesus, and The Meaning of Mary Magdalene: Discovering the Woman at the Heart of Christianity. In those two books, she offers provocative imagery of Jesus descending into "hell" and witnessing the brokenness there. The witnessing heals. Why? Wounds belong to the separated realms, both in us … Continue reading Holy Saturday: The Archetypal Jouney Into Brokenness
The Eucharist: When the Absolute Overshadows the Relative
Since so much has been written before on the Eucharist, I endeavor to go into different directions than the orthodox, or mainline, understanding. My hope is that my reflection will enhance the mainline meanings as I view them from a "Law of One" lens. If we start from the premise that all is One and that Love expresses … Continue reading The Eucharist: When the Absolute Overshadows the Relative
Towards a Theology of Oneness
Summary of Reflection: The early Christian insistence that Jesus and God's substance was different than that of creation was a three step forwards movement at that time. It was good. Yet now the insistence may be moving towards the two-step back movement with our current scientific understanding of quantum physics and the unity of all things. … Continue reading Towards a Theology of Oneness
Christianity in the Law of One: The Jesus Event
Article by Doug Esse Abstract: This long article attempts to bridge the "apparent" gap between the metaphysics of Christianity and the Law of One material. For this author, the Law of One material is the clearest presentation of the Perennial Philosophy which undergirds all of the world's major religions. Through the Jesus Event, the fullness … Continue reading Christianity in the Law of One: The Jesus Event
Kingdom of God: Among Us, Inside Us, Here Now, and Coming Soon!
The "Kingdom of God" is an often repeated phrase in the New Testament. What does it mean? My brief reflection will draw on both outer and inner traditions. I propose that there are four approaches to understanding the Kingdom of God. The first two of these approaches are more akin to "locations" of the Kingdom … Continue reading Kingdom of God: Among Us, Inside Us, Here Now, and Coming Soon!
A Dialog on Original Sin and Karmic Debt
This is a recent email exchange between my friend, A.C., and me. A.C. is a spiritual director and pychiatrist and is very adept in dream work, depth psychology, and Jungian thought. .......................................... Me: Just a brief thought. In recent years I've not been big on the notion of original sin thought up by Augustine. Rohr … Continue reading A Dialog on Original Sin and Karmic Debt
The Heart of God… Love
I find myself in a weird and sometimes uncomfortable position of trying to sort out truth from esoteric sources while making sense of transcendent truth whose roots, for me, began with a religious lens. I don't deny that some aspects of the institution that is the Catholic Church, for example, has been complicit in oppression, … Continue reading The Heart of God… Love
