When all is said and considered, as Laurel Lee said in Susan Hayward's book "A guide for the advanced soul",

“I know I don’t see the world as it is;

I see the world as I am."

Each 'self' is a 'point of view' on the world, each 'self' expresses the 'world' from his own 'point of view', in the sense that the 'world' doesn't exist out of the 'points of view' that give it an expression. The 'city' doesn't exist outside of all 'points of view' on the city. It is a beautiful idea . . the city is all the 'points of view' on the city. [...] Every 'self' contains (wraps) the entire 'World'. . [...]. . For each of these self', Leibniz who don't meet the too small subjective island of the res cogitans of Descartes, creates a concept to designate 'each self' who thinks the entire possible world. Leibniz called him the 'monad'. Each 'monad' expresses (wraps) the entire world.

Tabula Smaragdina

"Know ye, O man, that all of the future is an open book to him who can read.

All effect shall bring forth its causes as all effects grew from the first cause.

Know ye the future is not fixed or stable, but varies as cause brings forth an effect.

Look in the cause thou shalt bring into being, and surely thou shalt see that all is effect.

Know ye the future is never in fixation, but follows man's free will as it moves through the movements of time-space toward the goal where a new time begins." 

I say, hear only truth and nothing else!

That which is below is similar to that which is above. And that which is above is similar to that which is below. One has to know this in order to gain the cognition of the marvelous Primordial One! Everything material came into existence by the intent of the Primordial One. All material objects became manifest through densification of energy by the Primordial One.

The Sun is the Father of the manifest world; the 'lunar' is its mother. The Holy Spirit 'brings up' developing souls; the Earth nurtures them. The Father of all the development in the entire universe is present always and everywhere.

His Power is the Supreme Power! It is supreme to everything else! And It is manifested on the Earth — in Its Omnipotence!

Thus divide: the 'earthly' — and the Fiery, the coarse — and the subtle! Act at that with great caution, awe, and understanding!

Become the Subtlest Fire — and cognize the Heavenly! Thus you perform the Mergence. Then come back to the Earth — and you will perceive the Subtlest and will have power to transform effectively the imperfect.

This will mean that you have achieved the glory of Mergence with the Primordial One and ridden yourselves of the darkness of ignorance.

The Power of the Primordial One is present beneath everything: beneath both the subtlest and the coarse — and controls them. It is in this way that the Creation exists. And thanks to this marvelous connectedness of Everything the development goes on.

This is why My name is Hermes Thriceborn: for I act in all three planes of existence and possess the wisdom of the entire universe!
Thus I have said everything I wanted to say about the doing of the Sun.

truth

"We know how cruel the truth often is, and we wonder whether delusion is not more consoling."

[Jules Henri Poincaré, 1854 – 1912]

'Three Worlds' by M.C. Escher

Our soul's longing calls truth to us. But truth will never speak its own name - People too easily get offended by truth so it will never seek you out. While there is only one truth, sages call it by many names as it takes on as many faces as there are seekers. In the end, everyone must find the reflection of their own face amongst those mirrored in the raindrops.

Truth is out there, waiting to be discovered - if you search, you shall find it. Signposts are all around, for truth and chaos are linked. To live with doubt means to enter into chaos so as to discover there the truth that cannot be measured by words.

So don't ask what the answer is; find out the question.

in veritas

“To see a world in a grain of sand
And a heaven in a wild flower.
Hold infinity in the palm of your hand
And eternity in an hour.”
  

WILLIAM BLAKE, “Auguries of Innocence”

My visions became my life, rather than the other way around. They whispered the secret of ages. I wrote not so much what I was experiencing, but what I was remembering — what I forever knew.


“Know ye not that ye are gods!?”

I am a messenger. I am here on behalf of the error of my past, serving out of duty, not pride. I serve the One I am.

I wonder if there has ever been anyone who has stood at the top of a very high mountain, with the endless horizon marking the border between this visual reality and the unseen of their imagination, who has then been able to return to the banality of life?

Once I had seen the whole, the detail no longer contained sufficient sustenance to keep my attention, my happiness, my self at that level.

The need to step away and take in the wholeness of my existence overpowered even my basic needs, for food, for shelter, clothing and even, human company. The aloneness was intoxicating. It was as if my consciousness had attached itself to the virtual horizon and all my attempts at focusing on everyday were thwarted by a constant pull ‘out’, the need to see ever more. The need to see all.

“…as the light of day births colors into being, then shall I came to you, a boundless drop to a boundless ocean…”

If all things return to the One, where does the One return to? …
