In order for a person to be transformed into a being

which is in accordance with God's original plan, he or
she must become absolutely silent in the heart, mind
and actions.

(To part 1)
Great Nostalgia

The following verses of this Psalm bring the answer that man found within himself:
"My help comes from the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth." We may not be
satisfied with this answer. How can some god of traditional religion suddenly help us?

In answering this question, we must first and foremost realize that the Bible is largely
a collection of inspired writings containing a veiled message about the mystical and
mystery path leading to union with the Absolute. The above quoted fragment refers to
the moment on the path when a person stops looking for liberation using the methods
of this world, but begins blindfold looking for a connection with Something/Someone
higher than him- or herself, not coming from here - from the Earth's magnetic field.

Carl Gustav Jung is the author of the following anecdote: An old alchemist encouraged
one of his students, saying, "No matter how alienated and lonely you feel, if you do
your job really diligently, unknown friends will come to find you".

True alchemy consists in turning the base metals of one's nature into the gold of the
spirit. The unknown friends that Jung has in mind are the Divine Hierarchy that
oversees the spiritual development of mankind. It is in this world the "right hand" of
the Lord who made heaven and earth.

When a person wakes up and begins to long for another world; when he begins to
realize that his home is in spiritual space, when he becomes a stranger on Earth, it
means that the atom of the spiritual sun has awakened in him. Such a person is
touched by what Mikhail Naimy in his book "The Book of Mirdad" poetically describes
as "Great Nostalgia", an unquenchable longing for a spiritual home that leads to an
intense search. And this "Great Nostalgia" is the second condition that must be met in
order to liberate oneself. "Seek and keep on seeking and you will find; knock and keep
on knocking and the door will be opened to you." (Mt 7: 7)

A man longing for God unknowingly begins to send infrared radiation from his heart,
which attracts to him the Light of Gnosis and the help of the Spiritual Brotherhood. He
receives signs leading him to sources and places where he can, in complete self-
authoritativeness, realize the path leading him to the mystical death of the ego and
the feeling of true Oneness with all creation.

I Am Who I Am
In the biblical Book of Exodus (Ex 3) there is a deeply symbolic parable of Moses to
whom God spoke, appearing to him in the form of a bush that though it was on fire it
did not burn up. In this bush we can find an analogy to the new human soul, inflamed
by the divine principle of hydrogen - fire, which gives it immortality. This parable is, of
course, a veiled reference to the liberating path, but that is not what we want to
concentrate on now. We want to focus for a moment on the name with which God
introduced himself to Moses: I Am Who I Am (Ehieh Asher Ehieh).

For in this name we can find the hidden axiom of Thoth/Hermes Trismegistus: "As
above, so below". In the first "I Am" we find the primal Consciousness, the Essence of
the unrevealed God the Father; in the word "Who" we find the Word, the Logos, the
Maat - the Divine Plan from which the visible will unfold; in the second "I Am" is the
embodiment of this Plan in the revealed world.

In order for a person to be transformed into a being which is in accordance with God's
original plan, he or she must become absolutely silent in the heart, mind and actions.
Then their soul will become a mirror, reflecting the "I Am" of God.

As we begin to feel this awareness of "I Am", we rise above dual perceptions of reality.
It begins with the fact that we stop reacting emotionally to the manifestations of good
and bad that we perceive in ourselves. This neutrality comes from the fact that we do
not identify with our lower nature. We transfer this inner "I Am" to the outer world, and
there comes an understanding that everything just "Is." We stop evaluating and
judging what is outside, which does not mean, of course, that we become amoral. We
do not become amoral but silent, devoid of preferences, expectations, prejudices and
preconceptions. We begin to see that everything that exists serves something; that is
necessary. Respect appears in us.

Such silence can only arise from the "Voice of Silence" which is emitted from the
divine spark, the heavenly atom, the particle of the Spiritual Sun, present in our heart.
It is the seed from which the garment of a new soul can develop, capable of marrying
the Spirit, capable of merging with Osiris.
The only way to achieve this is absolute silence of oneself, the death of the old “me”,
to which the words of Paul's Letter to the Romans (12: 1- 2) allude: “Therefore, I urge
you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living
sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God— this is your true and proper worship.
Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the
renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will
is - his good, pleasing and perfect will.”

And also other words that follow later in this letter: "Do not pursue greatness, but let
what is humble draw you" Romans 12:16.

A natural soul cannot be brought to true greatness. Therefore, it must "die" to make
room for another soul, luminous, highly vibrating, woven from ethers not of this world.
In this process of renewal, three temples of Man are gradually sanctified: the
sanctuary of his head, heart and, finally, hands. After such a transformation, the
human soul can grasp the "hand" of the Spirit extended to it. It becomes an
intermediary between earth and heaven, ready to create with the holy substance of
the Divine Maat-rix.

Master: If you are silent, then you are what God was before nature and
creation were made, and from what He made you as a natural being. Then
you will hear and see with what God saw and heard in you, before there was
willfulness, your own seeing and hearing. Give your will completely to God!
Do not do what your will urges you to do! Submit yourselves to the cross of
our Lord Jesus Christ. If you do, God will speak in you and direct your
consecrated will to Him to the depths beyond the senses. Then you will hear
what the Lord says in you.   - Jacob Böhme "Life Beyond the Senses"
